Draw Something - first animationfilm



"Never let loneliness and sadness win. You're as lonely as you think you are, so smile."
Finally it's finished. I spent so much sweat and blood on this (lucky only the first part is true, I'm not so much into seeing blood) to work on this. It took me around 2 weeks of nothing more than drawing and editing in Adobe After Effects and adding the effects and correcting mistakes and rendering...A lot of rendering. I'm happy it turned out being as it is. Since I wanted to use it in the MINFF (Media Informatics Flying Fish Award), I had to hurry, but nonetheless did it turn out nicely and the people watching liked it. Even the Jury liked it. So much that I made 3rd place. Not much, but considering the competition and all the videos, games etc. other people showed, I'm as happy as I can be. After talking to the Jury afterwards I found out the problems I may have had and which parts could have been better. This way I can carry on doing what I like and use this experience to become better in the future.
