One Step Closer
I finally have a good start to my first animation.
I have been wanting to do an animation for some time. Unfortunately, like with many of my aspirations, it was put on the back burner. I began talking about it more regularly again a couple months ago — brainstorming, conceptualizing. I had ideas for certain elements, but I wasn’t sure how to start the story.
It came to me last night while I was at a bar with some friends in Chicago. I was sitting by myself as I was really tired and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I pulled out my moleskine, and with pen in hand, it began.
I’m pretty excited about it. I’m not ready to reveal any details other than this: it will be 2D. I feel that this particular perspective will be best for capturing the essence of this piece.
Stay tuned. The future begins…
Now. (Baloop!)
