Hey all!As said yesterday, you guys will be receiving a whole lot of new content from me because of college!

My first project for 2D2 has started already, we will be doing a Camera Exercise. The idea is to make a Multiplane in Toon Boom Harmony.

For those who do not know what a Multiplane camera is, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdHTlUGN1zw&t=265s

It explains a lot better than I do, especially because it's very visual.

But then you ask me. "okay but if you are going to do that, don't you need it to be like, traditional work?The answer is NO!! Because Toon Boom Harmony is absolutely amazing and they have their own Camera set up in the software that we are able to move and adjust our planes just like traditional animation does.

Yes, we love Harmony <3

But anyways! Besides this whole info I just gave yall. Lets talk about the idea real quick.

The idea is simple actually, it is a Spike and Twilight animation!!!! They are playing tag at a park!And yes, Spike IS a human in my AU because I seriously cannot stand him being a dog. So a bit of info regarding my AU is that SciTwi has found Spike when he was just a baby, completely abandoned. So she decided to take care of him, becoming a somewhat young mom just like Princess Twilight did with Spike when she was just a kid too.

Human Spike is around 6-8 years old, I really do not have an exact age for him in mind, the only thing I care about is that he is a kid, and shorter than Twilight. He is also super smart for his age because of how much Twilight teaches him stuff too, as well as he listens to her rambling and studying a lot, so eventually he gets some of the info as well.

But yeah! Monday I will pitch this idea, the professor has liked it already but we will see how it will go and if there is anything I need to change or add or whatever.

I am very excited to start working more on it!! However I don't believe this animation will look super good because of how much I hate cleaning up in Harmony.

We'll see how things will go like :]
