well, I recently upgraded my technical status to an actual animation program, which is toon boom studio 5, the program I used to animate "introductions". but for about five years, I animated with microsoft paint and windows movie maker, that set up was very challenging but it sure taught me the patience required to animate. lol.

this was my final project to animate with ms paint:

and for a paint project, I think it came out pretty well. sure took me a while, though. I never had photoshop, but I naturally assume that if windows movie maker can play pics drawn in ms paint, I'm sure it can be used with photoshop to animate.

Hi, new here but have been stalking this website for about a week now. Stuff's good, especially Cheese in the Trap and Ties of Compassion. As you can see, I am a big fan of the slice of life/school genre

Keep up the good work!

really a million thanks ,,, i like it when someone praise me, you konw, when i saw clown's head at first,,,i automatically think "hey you, i don't like your head,, let me help you "


me too i used paint and movie maker ,,be based on 24pic/second ,, that make your handshake swell badly
last year i tryied to imitate drawing with photoshop , (not bad as a result)

haha, yeah, animating without a drawing tablet is HARD. using a mouse and keyboard to rotoscope is one of the toughest things I've ever done...editing out all those pixels manually....one shot was like a week job.

i watched "trail",,, WOW, it's really good animated,,,unfortunately,i can't understand very well the story coz i'm just good in reading inglish ,,
then, your style is funny scary movie ???

about americain cartoons,, that was a long time that i didn't watch anyone,, i'll start with dexter's laboratory,,that will remind me a good memorys (*_*)

hey, thanks. really appreciated. Dexter's Laboratory is a true classic. LOVE that show....I also suggest Courage the Cowardly Dog...

To Jared Kowis,

I'm really surprised by your talent. It's wonderful that you are working so hard. I hope you continue to do them.

hey, thanks. very appreciated, really. I just hope I can land a career animating and making cartoons.

I'm sure you will make it big! Such talent doesn't go unnoticed. It is nice to see you are so devoted to something.

I showed them to my cousin, who is also studying design, particularly animation. He was extremely surprised that you animate so well without a tablet. He is eagerly waiting for your new videos. XD

Seems like you got a new fan. ^_^

Why don't you try adobe flash? I just tried it and I found it extremely good to work with, especially if you are animating something.

Cartoons are a part of life, aren't they? I still can't forget a few that I used to watch! xD

haha, oh no, I have upgraded my animation program and I'm using a drawing tablet now. thank god..lol. "the trail" was my final project done with neither of those, and that was quite the challenge...if you or your cousin, or anyone else would care to see, this was my first project done with toon boom animation studio and the tablet...

overall, it's not that good, although there are some pieces of animation I can say I'm proud of. lol.

and of course, "Introductions can be a pain" was animated with toonboom and the tablet, which I've already linked...

but yeah, thanks so much for passing pieces of my work around, I really appreciate it.
