Alien Gymnastics and Dangers of Teleportation

[Thingy]

Hi Folks,

This is my first post. I started out doing animated Powerpoint presentations for my job and soon realized that I could make cartoon animations in the same way, such as this one about the future and Dangers of Teleportation.



With a bit of fiddling it is actually possible to do a lot within Powerpoint, including the ability to apply masking. As I enjoyed making these animations I thought it was time to invest in a proper animation program that would allow me to progress beyond the limitations of Powerpoint's features... and so I recently bought Anime Studio Pro 11.

My first ever test animation for Anime was called "Alien Gymnastics" (Which I'm sure one day could become an Olympic event!)



To learn a bit more about what could and should be done I also bought "The Animator's Survival Kit" book - fantastic explanations and drawings but for someone like myself, with no drawing ability whatsoever, it takes an extraordinary amount of time just to produce something very small that's gone in less than a blink of an eye. The story telling process is far more enjoyable than the animation process and so I guess its a compromise between the two.

New olympic events, for sure. At what sports aliens will be the best ? Hard to know.
