I very much appreciate it :) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TheSpiderChief Animation is so cool. I wish I could do animation =([/quote] You totally can! Animation is a really cool mix of stage acting, dance, sculpture, and puppetry. The technical stuff can be a tough barrier but, once you get it, you can focus on the artistry. It's like drawing. Learning how to use a pencil is easy. It's the stuff that comes afterward that's actually hard. If you're really interested in learning about it, see if you can find Character Animation Crash Course by Eric Goldberg or The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams in your library. Other required reading, though I don't know if you'll be able to find it in a library, is The Illusion of Life by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] WPUA x Epsilon Amazingly done. I'm thinking of being an artist...[/quote] It takes a lot of self motivation and self-critique. Going into a project, you have big dreams and hopes for it (it's going to change the world!). During it, you hate it more than anything you've ever worked on. By the end, it's usually worth it. But you have to be just a bit more naive than the average person in order to start in the first place. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MozzarellaMonky How did you make animation so fluent?[/quote] Lots and [i]lots[/i] of time. Watching it over and over and over and over trying to pick out the little things that don't work or that don't feel good and fixing them. That's another thing if you're interested in being an animator; plan on listening to the same piece of dialogue thousands of times during the few days or weeks you're working on a shot.

Edit2: You should also post this on Waypoint.[/quote] Haha, thanks man. If I can find more good out-of-character Steve Downes clips, I would like to do more :) And I did [url=http://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm1588663_Cookin--With-Chief.aspx]post this on Waypoint[/url], but got no response :/ Oh well. I'm glad you guys are much more receptive![/quote] While I'm not an animator myself, I have massive respect for this art form. I'm in a digital art major in school which leaves me around artists a lot of the time and I just wanted to say that it's really refreshing to see a talent such as yourself take the time and reply equally to everyone's response. Your attitude towards your craft is very inspiring and you deserve more attention for your work. Great work, keep it up!
