I keep forgetting I can make news posts about stuff. A couple of days ago I had a little spare time (imagine that!) so I decided to throw together a project that's been sitting around for a long time. It was an old stop-motion thing I did one day back in 2000 with some coins. I happened to be borrowing André (aka "gel's") camera that we used for animating and I was bored one night. I never did anything with it sooner because I didn't think it was very interesting and it really had no point, but I decided I could submit it to Newgrounds.com just for the heck of it. It turns out that everybody LOVES it. I'm totally shocked! It started out with a relatively low score so it didn't win any daily awards, but then it was featured on the front page and the score went up and it has rave reviews. People are dying to see more stop-motion stuff, so right now I am going through our old video tapes finding a bunch of cool stuff we've done. Hopefully everyone has seen our "peoplemation" Spin by now. Well, that was actually the third "peoplemation" we made. The first one was just sort of a test, but the second one is pretty nifty so I'm planning to submit that very soon.

I'm still working on you know what. My list of projects I want to do is growing very large. Oh yeah, I almost forgot! I had a little break this weekend so I wrote and recorded a new song... It's still kind of a secret because I plan to use it in big animation for one of my next projects! Stay tuned...
