Breaking the Barrier

[kiyakotari]

Riding high off of greenjudy's slipstream with her awesome short of Eric Tseng waiting for (or about to make) a very important (one might even say...permanent) cellphone call, I decided to try my hand at a bit of animation myself, using my trusty Canon Powershot A720 IS and Adobe Premier Pro.

It's very short, but I've already learned a lot just from this one little bit (namely, that stop motion animation is even more tedious than writing websites out by hand). Further adventures will, I expect, be longer. Sorry it's a rather large file - at least there's only one of them, right? ^_^;; (Okay, so 9.18 MB isn't exactly a back-breaker, but I apologize to anyone out there on dial-up.)

I originally tried this on YouTube, but the quality was actually better in the GIF I rendered, so...Youtube Link Here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=exv3Ppk6ZcA

I suggest letting the GIF load and run through its loop once before you try to watch it, especially if you've got a slower connection.

Salley: Maybe it's enough to say that Zelin did not set me up with a 401K, and just kind of leave it at that. **sweats**

Wren: Oh my. That is a rather implicative decision, considering the circumstances. ...Then again, if they're going to kill you anyway, the 401K wouldn't really matter all that much. Silly businessmen. Always trying to cut corners.
