Pink and Ain't » meta http://blog.pinkandaint.com Animation, Flash, and other nerdy ramblings Mon, 28 Nov 2011 08:44:30 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 More to Come http://blog.pinkandaint.com/more-to-come/ http://blog.pinkandaint.com/more-to-come/#comments Mon, 15 Mar 2010 22:04:42 +0000 David http://blog.pinkandaint.com/?p=108 I know it’s been a few days, but I just wanted to assure everyone that there’s more on the way.  I’ve actually been working on a huge blog post that involves a video that’s more than 20 minutes long, as well as 20 or so new (though related) Flash commands that are unlike anything you’ve seen before.  There’ll also be some footage in the video that’ll be of more general interest, showing some of how I work (in case you’re curious), and a few non-Flash-specific animation tips.

What have I encountered in the process of creating this upcoming monstrous blog post?  Well, video is a pain in the butt if you’re trying to make it look as good as possible.  And blogging takes a lot of time.  And I frickin’ love my home-made Flash tools, and I love sharing them with people.  Actually, I knew all of these things already, but this process has reinforced them.

Finally, I have a question for anyone reading this: How do you think I could get people to read this blog?  Specifically, I’d love to get some regular readers who are interested in Flash animation, Flash commands, and/or 2d animation in general.  Please give any suggestions you can think of in the comments or via email.

Duh.

I just wanted to warn you.  You see, my theory is that you’ll enjoy the end product more if you don’t follow the production process.  I’ve come to realize, though, that it’s a long time to wait for my friends and family before they can see any product from this thing I’m putting so much energy into.  I want to share my life with those I care about, so this is a chance to do that.  Through this blog you’ll be able to read about what I’m up to with my film.  David’s life just got a little more transparent.
