Normally, as of late at least, this post would be about how much my current financial statement sucks, and as a matter of fact, it still does, with me sending out an average of 16 Resume's a day to different jobs and i have under $600 to my name, Maybe one day Tom will be rich and pay some animators big moneys to make the cartoons they want to make, but its not today, and it wont be for a long time, in the mean time i, along with everyone else in my position will just have to make do. But thats not what im here to talk about.

Nope, today is all about a Bus Trip, a Bus Trip of horrors some might say. Seems in my endless struggle to keep off the street ive stumbled upon a few small local film festivals, and these film festivals just so happen to have cash prizes, and cash pays the rent, and so i put two and two together and hey, im making something for these film fest's. So i only have about a month left to finish the film i started for this festival, and instead of investing time into a fresh idea ive actually reverted to one of my old submissions, namely Little Bus Ride of Horrors 08 So yeh, im adapting this coming i wrote in about 8 hours into a flash movie, with some changes of course. The characters are all new, or old if you take into account its made up largely by the cast of my numerous shorts over the last year, excluding Space Man Bob, no idea why he didn't show up for the film, maybe he's busy with something else? I think the animation, so far, is the best ive done to date, somewhere between the static animation of Space Man Bobs Time Apple and Whats That Sound. Keeping the visual style of Space Man Bob and the slight fbf of What's that Sound, no tweening from pose to pose as i have done in the past. Its also the first cartoon ive worked on in a long time that has substantial amounts of voice work and lip sync to go with it that isn't distracting like the lip sync in Behind The Flash. Im also trying to focus allot more on character acting, rather then just having the characters standing around spurting dialogue, its not easy but its something i want to really invest time into.

Aside from that, the next episode of Out There is on hold, but my goal is still to have the whole series finished by the end of the year, so lets hope i can do it, id be working on it now if it wasn't for these film festivals, but thats life.

Anyways, next week you can look forward to a blog on the amazing life of plants.

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.

By the way, i cant get any images to load, is this just on my end or what? o.0
So i guess no pic this week, sorry guys :(
