It’s so hot outside. It’s so hot outside. It’s so hot outside.
I posted a new animation last night at 11:11, but thought I would post an older one this morning again, you know, summer reruns. This is also one of my favorites. I feel like it says so much in just a few words.
I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this or not yet, but ‘Prayers for Peace’ did end up winning the Next Great Filmmaker Award. It has helped so much. Thanks for everyone who took the time to vote. I sent out a big e-blast that said that my thank you present would be to finish 100 animations by mid-August. That’ll mean one every day until then, we’ll see.
Animation Hotline is a series of daily animations where I use messages left on my voicemail for content. When you get a chance please leave me a message, and honestly it’s best if you leave more than one because sometimes what you think is the perfect message might simply be impossible for me to animate in one day. This project is only as good as the messages that you leave me, so if you feel so inspired, call!

This one was a strange animation to do. Similar to the person telling the story, I don’t know a whole lot about Islam or Muslims and aside from most of the negative stuff I hear in the news. Of course I know better than to believe what I hear in the news, but it still raised a bunch of questions for me. Then I started to worry that maybe I’m not allowed to draw anything referring to the Muslim religion. I remember a big commotion a while back because someone drew the likeness of Muhammad. That’s when I realized there is still a lot of fear that comes up when I think about this stuff. It’s uncomfortable. The sad part is that I think more than anything it is simply the fear of the unknown, and if I took just a minute to educate myself the fear would become substantially less.

This is an animation I did back in February, but I thought it would be nice to post it up on the blog so it gets shuffled back to the top so more people can see it. I like this one so much just because it is dripping with sensuality, even though nothing even remotely sexual was mentioned. The student, the teacher, a bar, shouldn’t be dong this, but, I have an excuse this time. I couldn’t help but put a big pile of dripping red in there, dripping over the pages of a student writing anthology. Maybe I shouldn’t have ripped it up, but I kind of considered it recycling. It just seemed appropriate on so many levels.

I wanted to make this ten times longer, with them staring and her and her showing off her tattoo, so long that it starts to get uncomfortable, but short is good too. I still haven’t got that cable, but I was able to renew the Muybridge book, so I’ll hopefully be starting those again on Tuesday.

I don’t know what is going on here, I guess it’s a lion on a park bench with a mustache. Kinda reminds me of Colonel Mustard in the Lounge with the dagger. It also reminds me of a creeper guy in the park, although he’s not that creepy. And lastly it reminds me of Cheryl’s facebook profile, rrrow. It takes a really long time to make one of these so I have a lot of time to think. The bad news is that I still haven’t been able to get that cable for the projector. I think I’m going to have to wait until Tuesday. My Muybridge book is due back at the library on Friday, but maybe they’ll let me renew it.

I spent the day building a case so I can start using a projector again, which means I can start doing those Muybridge rotoscopes. Yay! Jeff Roth sent me the projector so I’m going to do a bunch of horses for him as soon as I get it to work. I still need to get the cables though, it has a funny connection, and not ha-ha funny.
In answering you question, more of my friends and family call than anyone else, and some of them (Maia and Thatcher) leave ten messages at a time, so I simply have more to choose from. I’m not a hater, if you leave a good message I’ll animate it. Right now I have about fifty messages that I’ve selected that I want to do, and I plan to do every one of them if I have the time. That being said, please continue to leave messages, because I try to use the freshies if I can.

This one was a sort of an experiment. I’ve been story-boarding everything lately, which is something I never used to do, but today I tried to just do something spontaneous without a storyboard and without a narrative. On the one hand I don’t think it turned out all that great, but on the other hand without experimentation the whole project will get stale.
The first time I did the animation I used all of KK’s underwear, but I realized that she would get really pissed if she went online and saw all of her underwear in this animation. So instead I used a pair of mine. They’re clean, I checked. I figured out that if I do one a day and only take two days off, I can still hit the goal of 100 of these by mid-August. I did the red, white and blue background because it is 4th of July weekend and it reminds me of when I was really young and those colors seemed so exciting to me. I was six years old in 1976 and it was the United State’s bicentennial celebration, and my grandma Memmie knitted all the grandchildren red, white and blue mittens and scarves. I still have the scarf, but it’s really tiny, so I just wear it as an ascot.

I don’t know if this is what Delphine had in mind when she left this one. I think she was most likely thinking about some diner food, and that was what I was going to do, a little girl getting hungry and angry, but then as I got into it I thought this one was better. Plus I was listening to Radiohead and they always forge rebellion.
