As for other things, I'm organizing sp00ky 2 (a collaborative Halloween themed web album) just to make up for last year, and atm I am storyboarding my animation for the Halloween contest and thats about it!!!!!!

Thank you for reading! :)

A lot of people have been asking me why the first half of the cartoon looks and sounds the way that it does. I imagine most will assume that it is a result of my own inadequacies, but I assure you this is not the case.

If you are ready to hear this story I will relay it to you, but please be warned it is bound to make most tldr

I started work on the project over 2 years ago when I still had to resort to drawing everything with the mouse. I had plans to get the dream sequence looking roughly close to the way I wanted it to and cleaning things up while I programmed the menus at the end of the project. I finished up to the point where the main character climbs off of the table and brushes himself off then uploaded the swf to photobucket to show to a friend of mine who was encouraging me to finish it.

that swf can be veiwed here.

After taking a break from animation to move into an apartment, I started working on a new animation for the only crew I've ever stayed active in to get myself excited about animating again. While I was trying to finish it the screen burnt out on my laptop. Feeling desperate and knowing that I only had a week or two to get the animation done by the predetermined date, I saved up and bought an external screen. Milano day came and went and afterwards I continued work on ghost out part 3. A few weeks later my apartment was broken into. I lost my midi keyboard, my laptop, and a lot of other shit that I can't even remember because of how long ago it was, but the joke was on them because the screen was broken and they left the power chord.

But basically the point of the story is that I lost the .fla and basically any hope I had of finishing my cartoon. For the next few months I went through a fucking nightmare I'd rather not even get into because it would take too long to explain and I'll be damned if I'm going to throw myself a pity party that's not what this post is about.

Fast forward about eight months. I wasn't feeling great. I had checked all of my backup discs and none of the ones I had kept seemed to have the source file for ghost out. I was going back and forth through jobs and didn't really have the motivation to start from scratch. Around this time Anigen IMed me and asked if I would be interested in going to comic con. He had said that some guy from a website would lay down 300 bucks for it and I thought it sounded like fun so I went ahead and bought the four day pass.

A little bit later I IMed rtil about something and we started talking about paranormal happenings then spent some time exchanging theories on the subject. Some time after that I told him about my progress with ghost out. Being the whiz kid that he is I linked him to the .swf of which he decompiled and sent back to me as a fully workable .fla. That was a great feeling.

The next week I got a call from a very angry Anigen relaying to me that the person that was going to lay down money for me to go to the con had spent it on a car because the website he was trying to get running had tanked. Now, normally I would have sold the four day pass and probably wasted the money on booze and cigarettes but when I saw that a 75 dollar 4 day pass was selling on ebay for upwards of 400 smackers I knew that if someone would pay so much to go to this weird thing in San Diego that I'd never heard of that there had to have been a reason for it, so I called up my friend Zac and worked my ass off until I was able to pay for the whole trip in about 5 weeks.

A week or two before comic con I spent some of the money I had saved up and bought a bamboo tablet because I knew that if I wanted to make anything without using the fact that I draw with a mouse as a crutch that I would need one eventually. It didn't work (fucking best buy my ass) but a friend of mine had given me his old one and told me that all I needed to get it working was the pen. The animation of Ghost jumping out from underneath the pile of corpses was the first thing I'd ever drawn with a tablet. I'm glad for it too because I was almost worried that I would have to cut the sequence out to save time. I know most probably don't think that part to be funny, but the slapstick absurdity of it still makes me laugh to think about.

I won't try to describe my comic con experience because I don't think I could even find words for it. I had a great time, met a lot of awesome people and heard and saw many inspiring things. Anyone reading this should go next year, you won't regret it.

After getting back home, I spent some more time working odd jobs and doing little bits of animation on ghost out here and there with newfound drive from my experience at the con. After a few weeks I noticed that the file was starting to slow my computer down horrendously making it impossible to do so much as use the undo function without waiting longer than I was able to keep composure and made the decision to end the flash at another cliffhanger as much as I would have preferred not to and thats basically it.

The sound is bad because it was imported from a test animation swf. The animation is loose because everytime I tried to fix up the decompiled portion it would autosnap a bunch of symbols and fuck everything up making it look nonsensical and gross. I'm not trying to excuse myself for anything I'm merely relaying what took place. As for the feedback I've received, I am elated that so many seem to be interested to see the 4th part and I am working hard to make sure the audio is clear and the animation more aesthetically pleasing and I hope that anyone waiting to see will be as happy to watch it as I am to be animating it.

Thanks for reading! Here's a funny youtube vid.
