Update Blog - 4/27/19 (Patreon)

Today is a weekend that I feel thankful that I don't have to go to the movies, because I can already tell that the theatres are more packed than they've ever been in years with the release of what's sure to be the biggest movie of the year (or even the decade), Avengers: Endgame. The good news is that it gives me more time and peace to do stuff like this blog!

- Released Part 2 of Animation Lookback: The Thief and the Cobbler: After of nearly a month long of a whole bunch of reviews, I can finally get back to bringing out a new part of AL:TatC. This is the part that will take up most of the production history that would span nearly 2 decades from the early 1970s after Dick lost Nasrudin to the late 1980s when he was brought on board for Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In a way, it does foreshadow of what would be to come with his approach to the project and setting his ambitions massively high. A fan fact to note on this was during the scene when I came in through Green Screen to describe the animation terms of Ones, Twos, etc. At the last minute before uploading it online, I reworked the images of the Old Witch running to make it look a lot more clean than it did before (I took them from The Animator's Survival Kit pages 204-205, since I also recognized her as one of the characters of the movie). The tricky part was that they were not all in order, so I had to take each 24 drawings and place them on their respective spot on the Ones, Twos, Threes and Fours. In the end, it turned out to be very nice, but I promise you that you ain't seen nothing yet until the next part comes out. And it's not just regarding that part of the history itself, but also the surprises I have in store!

- Created a New Controversial Editorial: Throughout the week, this was the big project that I have been working on. Now you might be wondering, why do I call this controversial? Well that's because this video will be all about politics.....I'm just kidding, it will be an animation topic XD But for real though, it's the kind that what I will be talking about itself is harmless, but will get a lot of people talking and discuss about the subject matter I have brought up. It was an idea that I've been considering to do for a very long time, but I decided, since the golden opportunity for it is coming, I might as well take a shot at making it and see what happens. I'll just say that I'm sure you'll find plenty of articles and videos about one side of the argument, but I'm gonna step in with something that'll have fuel for the other side. Will it come out with high praise? Will I get big backlash for it? Either way is possible. All I know is that I'm crazy enough to do it, I'm taking the risk and I'll see what happens.

Well that should be it for this week. I know, not big in quantity, but it was a week where I worked hard and put a lot of energy into this one big ambitious video. Now all I have to do is make sure the theatres won't get too crowded so I can have some room next week for when I'll need to review Uglydolls. So until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
