This has been officially announced on the transparent media site, so I guess I might as well say something about it here. I've been working on a couple short pieces of animation. The first of which should be completed by spring. Called "A Civil Discussion," it features these two characters debating on a talk show. You'll be able to get a better view of them in the animation itself. Right now I just have the first 25 seconds done, and I've got another two and a half minutes (give or take) left to go. Like I said, "short."
I'm not going to say any more about the second project except that it exists, since it's in the early writing phase and could easily crap out at this point without going anywhere substantial.
Anyway, the process so far has been fun, if more drawn out than I had initially expected. Hazard of working mostly alone, navigating Maya's learning curve (a never ending process), and only squeezing in work on it when I feel like doing it. I'm at the point now where I'm trying to get the audio track done and timed right so that I can animate to it. Then the fun really begins as I wrestle with the inevitable flailing arms and wandering heads that are bound to crop up once I start animating. Stay tuned...
