I might as well switch to another program soon since they are generally better in every other way. As far as I understand it.

Cinco De Mayo Update

Day 4 is DONE, as of several weeks ago, which means there's only day 6 and 7 left. I estimate day 6 to be two minutes long and day 7 to be three to four.

It's already the longest thing I've ever made.

I got commissioned to do an infomercial type animation for naesai.org. That means that, for now any way, I am a PROFESSIONAL animator, in the literal sense.

Since I've decided to post fewer screenshots from Moon Diary I might be focusing more on this paid animation on the blog for a while.
