Feedback is the best thing in the world. Seriously. It's GREAT. I released a new short today, after finally getting off my backside and getting round to doing stuff (It's the influence of my new iMac, I swear!) and now I'm sat back looking at the reviews for the fourth video I've released in a month. I'm glad I'm finally back into the swing of things, and what's more rewarding than seeing a score around 3.5 and a bunch of good reviews? Personally, there is nothing better for me than seeing that (well, maybe a daily award, but I don't aim for those anymore since it's pointless getting my hopes up, haha.)
Anyway, I'm looking at them and I'm just pleased and amazed at how far I've come. I look at my list of submissions; my oldest having a score of 1.95... 1.95... Those crazy Easter days of 2006 where I was new to claymation... When I actually TRIED to make funny animations... Nowadays, I put in the odd thing and hope it would get a laugh but I don't try to make my shorts funny. People say "Wow, that was hilarious!" and I think they're insane, haha. I've even seen people literally laugh out loud at my animations... and I don't. It's crazy. But then again, I wouldn't want to laugh at my own material since that would give me false hope and a higher ambition than I already have... hmmm... Talk talk talk. Yabbering and a jabbering on.
So, anyway, methinks I'll start work on another animation soon. I'm determined not to have less than 40 by December because, well, I REALLY want to keep a steady rate of them up, unlike a certain animator who does them when he feels like and, recently, is often never... yet he's still amazingly famous and worshipped :P
Ah well, in his absence, the new generations can take his place, haha. I've probably been writing too much so I'll end it now.
In conclusion, feedback is AWESOME and I love it. I think most people do. Thanks for your time! haha.
