Thanks! I like yours too!
Mine took about 30 minutes a day for about a week.

Fun to make, fun (for me at least) to watch.

After Effects is addicting.

Have you messed with After Effects at all? It’s a lot of fun too. I made a similar video with lots of head explosions.

thanks – I didn’t realize it would accept PNG files (the documentation only says bitmap I think…)

SUPER video converter (a great free multi-format converter you should check out) converts videos to PNGs.

I did a similar project at college where we had to rotoscope footage of ourselves with a broom handle and make it look like we had light sabers. Mine turned out fairly ok but it was just fun to do it.

and with this… I give up on animation lol. No, honestly though, it’s just so beyond my ability. I’ll focus on standard photo editing and tablet drawing for now =P

Being predictable is comforting for some people.

I was going to comment about about what Caitlin would have to say with this entry, but I see that she beat me to it.

Jared – I use this free tool, and then convert those JPG images into PNGs with a Photoshop batch action.

Mona – For that I use Photoshop, but there are lots of free tools out there.

may I ask how you turn the pencil-videos (flash etc.) into gifs? do I need a special program for this?

I have just started experimenting with my new tablet and it IS fun and time-consuming ;-)

Hey Shannon – I’ve been inspired by your DIY rotoscoping using pencil and am really enjoying using the software for stuff like the above.

I have a question though – what are you using to get your videos into pencil? Do you have a good program that converts the videos into a series of bitmaps?

I have seen homeless people holding up signs that are better than that.

I don’t detect a whiny vibe here. I think it’s great that you’re sharing so much of what you’re going through; it helps people understand you better as a person, and gives me a lot more respect (I already had a lot, but still…) for the way you live. A lot of people with chronic pain and uncertain outcomes just give up; it’s refreshing and encouraging to see someone refuse to give up that part of themselves which makes them so vital and interesting. I’ve said before that your parenting style is truly an inspiration, and following your blog has pulled me out of many “poor me” slumps, when dealing with my own health problems. I gave up my creative ambitions ages ago, but I’ve been inspired to dive into whatever I can manage, to please myself and hopefully please my loved ones when they receive something made just for them.

And really, we can’t be selfless martyrs all of the time. Pain and illness SUCK, and it’s good to vent about it sometimes. It’s just part of your story, which has been pretty fascinating so far!

Seems to be just as bad as getting a dog-doo snow cone stuffed into your right eye, or you other eye. Now I’m hungry for pancakes.

You’re just jealous because you know that if I had to chose between you and Broadway musicals I’d hesitate for a second (although probably not for Boeing Boeing).
