Now, that's all rather splendid but it's not actually the exciting and terrifying thing I talking about...
I got animation work! For potential legal reasons I cannot say exactly who I'm working for so all I'll say is that their initials are B, B and C. We've been commissioned to create some animation for them and it's definitely going to be broadcast nationwide and then put on their website! So that's the exciting part but here's th- OH YEAH we get paid aswell- here's the terrifying part:
We have been given until the 20th of this month (now only 1 week from now) to deliver to them five 45 second 2D hand-drawn cartoons at a broadcast standard. I'd imagine a larger studio with many animators might just be able to handle such a request, but we are literally just a couple of bedroom animators, that is to say, the very talented colleague James and myself. Just the two of us with dodgy computers, and although James is very talented and I can just about wield a graphics tablet proficiently enough, we haven't actually yet worked on anything together before this, so this mammoth task is really our ice breaker into the whole production process. Ooer.
Still, it seems to be going pretty good. We've been working 15 hour days for best part of a week now and our target of completing a cartoon every two days seems to be holding out so far.
Here's a background wot I dun drew that has been dubbed "That Princess Mononoke Shot:"
(because the camera moves forward through the shot all pretty like.)
the Bernard Bobby Culinary school does have high standards. Your background beats those standards in my eyes though.
