maybe an early night tonight...

Ok, so I thought I could lay down the audio tracks atop my animations by midnight last night and get a big ol' fashioned early night of sleep... the kind I really actually have come to love a lot (the kind that has me going to sleep by eleven at the latest - mm, personal information indeed).

I was wrong to assume that that would happen.

But I can actually say that NOW I have all of the completed animations - visual AND audio together like a sweet mix of a cheese and gherkin sandwich - in their appropriate files on the computer.

Hooray again.

:)

Hooooooray..

..for Studio A.

All animations are now finished.

Quite a journey... especially seeing the whole process was fairly new to me at the beginning of this escapade.

For the distant future, I'm looking forward to improving my animation skills.
For now, I'm super glad I don't have to do anymore animating for the show.

Two days to go... some final polishing up of my songs and bring it on.

I'm already beyond exhaustion but I reckon that'll be fixed after an early night to sleep tonight (I know - VERY rock and roll).

Studio A is pumping!

The first animation from Studio A is in the can. Completed after just learning how to create fade outs in Flash (thank you to Studio B, youtube and a little old tweaking of the brain muscles).

Now that I have realised I am going to bed for a few hours sleep, I feel uber tired. :)

Gotta complete animation two from Studio A tomorrow, I mean, later today.

No more words for now.. just sleep.

S-S-Studio...B

Studio B has animation two in the bag. RAWK! Posters and Flyers have arrived, they look flipping hot. 1st poster run tomorrow. 6 days and counting...

8 days to go...

(Nearly) Two of my animations in the bag. Animation two is coming along well, I spent close to 7 hours STRAIGHT working on it yesterday. And the results really do speak for themselves...I am pasty, emotionally fragile and my eyes hurt.

I for one, am feeling very exciting about how the show is shaping up. The festival has kicked off now, so there's lots to see and do, but we are on top of the workload.

Book tickets.

CUTE GIRL IN A FROG COSTUME

Rockin'.

Animation one in the can. But no rest for the totally wicked, so it's back to STUDIO B for the next one.

Today I drew a new Zak, Two New Baggi's (What is the plural of Baggi?), some pretty girls, some boys, a scientist, a robot and a cute girl in a frog suit. Tomorrow I start putting them all together.




Why you ask...you'll have to come see the show to find out! TWO WEEKS TO GO!!!

-Zack.

Ouch

We each are compelled to do the activities that drive us.

Weird.

Weird humans.

Studio A and Studio B have workers who are tired.

And one that may not b abl to type proply.

Q. How cute is Lil' Baggy?

A. Very.

Greetings from the inner sanctum of the mighty STUDIO B!

Na-noo Na-noo Earthlings!

Well it's been a long, long couple of days sitting in front the computer in Studio B (Otherwise known as The Poor Man's Studio A) and there's still much to do, but I'm happy to report that it's all going quite well. After completely re-teaching myself how to use Flash (with some help from Shak and Tim, cheers kids), hours of doodling, scanning (cheers Baggy), Re-doodling, Photo-editing and hours upon hours animating...I have got about 2 minutes of footage! YAY! ...Yay? Highlights so far include Lil' Baggas blinking, error messages and Lil' Zack falling out a tree.

So, I'm about 83% finished my first (of three) animations for the show.

Baggas and I have had some sweet idea's from a few new bits we want to add inot the show...including a song and he concept of re-programming your saddness bot.

ROCK.

Baggas and I spent the first half of today at Supernova, where she was doing some doodling and I was walking around enbracing my inner (and outter) geek. Here's Some Pics...(there's more on my Facebook if you're interested)




Big pie?

Baggas...doing her thing...

The Silk Spectre from Watchmen...well, some chick dressed up as her...

Baggas doesn't seem that keen on card games...

So much geekdom, so little time...

Well. I really need some sleep, we both do, and I dare I say...I'm not quite finished for the night yet...

We are both going slightly insane. Sixteen days til we open.

ROCK!

The offical DOODLES animation studios...PIXAR eat your heart out!

Hey kids,

Zackster here. I have finally arrived in Melbourne town! We're both busy working on the animations for the show at the moment. Which has been fun because in addition to working within a fairly tight timeframe, we've also had the fun of having to be re-learning how to use Flash as we do iy. Woot! (thanks to Tim for tech support btw).

So here's a little glimpse into our world right now as well a few sneek peeks into some of my latest doodles for the show.
