Old Animations + Commentary
When I was in middle school I picked up Flash Animation after the rise in popularity of storytime animations. I began to focus on creating animations to audio or music I liked or found amusing. With a lot of visual jokes that were there for the sole purpose of creating shock value. Typical middle school humor.
Beginning Sophmore Year of High School it got to the point animating became tedious, I felt burnt out. I finished Float On and a fan animation and felt content with what I had made.
I'm still proud of what I had created in middle school and many people seemed to really like it and had created tons of fan-art for me (Thank you!) and it is apart of who I am today. So, this article is dedicated to archiving my past works. I will add little animator commentary notes to give an insight in the process of each animation.
ENJOY!
Bread makes you Fat
I was obsessed with Scott Pilgrim at the time. I don't like this video.
Float On
This remains my favorite animation I've ever made. I think the animation is very smooth, the colors are very vibrant, so much moving parts in such a short time frame, and it's a fun animation.
An Ordinary X-Mas
Outside of being a christmas video, this whole video of cutesy wholesome plot was to make the Eddsworld joke. A pattern with the Christmas videos was that they were animated with a deadline of Christmas Day. Of course, it was tedious and stressful. But I remember having a lot of fun despite that.
hey check this out
This was a reanimate of a stick figure meme featuring my voice. I still have the same voice today. Also sometime after I made this video, I received a message of a drawing of me shitting on a toliet saying 'hey check this out.' Hilarious.
Jurrasicc Parcc
Reanimation of a flipnote on Sudomemo. It used to be called "Jurrassic Park" until someone suggested it based on my name at the time.
Drugs
First animation of my new sona to which is still basically my sona today. Albeit, now female rather than unisex. The poster jokes were a last minute addition and was the result of me asking my friends 'What should the poster be'.
Slunber
Masking the dream scene took a long time and warranted the help of a mutual who knew Flash more than me. Thank you Charlie!
The Gas Station
Experimenting with vibrant colors and comedic timing.
Lets Play some Minecraft
CW: Headphone Warning
Only one person noticed that I used a stone pickaxe to mine diamond ore. ONE.
Santa has his Eye on Me
Reanimation of a Spongebob Christmas song. Contrary to the most recent Christmas video which took a month, this took 2 weeks. It was stressful and it was satisfying when it finally came out.
Hardcore Parkour
Reanimation of MarkandFlops' Sonic animation. I loved Sonic Paradox as a kid. Was originally named "Parkour Parkour" but changed to "Hardcore Parkour" after receiving an ableist correction.
Colors
NOTHING TO COMMENT.
I'm Blue
CW: Self-harm
Friend at the time sent me this song in response to my favorite color being Blue. Tasteless self-harm in the end of the video. Again for shock value.
He just Left
Aforementioned friend also showed me a Scott Pilgrim clip. I found it hilarious, animated featuring my two school friends. I only got into Scott Pilgrim 3 years later.
Best Friend
I had a cat named Spooky that appears in this video whom my parents had to give away. I'm still mad about that... MOM.
Buckle your pants
An experimental animation. I animated it including all of my friends I had at the time. This animation is a little suggestive as I was figuring myself out.
Free Breadsticks
My first finished flash animation. A couple animators in the "young animators community" and some friends animated this clip and I wanted to join the bandwagon. Who knew it would kickstart my animating career. This was shown in school :(
There you have it!
I hope seeing all the commentary notes was entertaining and gave some interesting insight to what the creative process was like, I hope it inspires someone one day.
To those who've been here whenever you found me during my animation journey; whether the beginning or the end, thank you for watching! Also thank you to those who created fan-art for me. I've kept every single one.
WITH HUGS AND COOL HUGS...
