Well...in the last post I told you all my plan. Air the first four 'promo' episodes of The Boom Boom Happy Fun Yum Yum Hour and then take a month off, collecting any critiques from other animators, the ratings, the reviews. Basically I wanted to let all that information inform the direction the show takes.
Not so much. Last week I finished animating and editing together the fourth 'promo' episode, and it wasn't going up for another two weeks. The day after I finished it I found myself unable to enjoy doing anything other than animating. So for a few days I drew some new rooms and room angles (I've now drawn out both bathrooms AND a side view of the living room). Then I tried to improve some of the art of the characters and the props and scenes. Little tweaks here and there. After a few days, I ran out of stuff to do in the animation program...so I wrote the next episode, recorded all the voices, and started animating it.
So all those plans of taking it easy for a month? That is now a thing of the past. I'm still changing things up as people point things out and the reviews come in, just on a week to week basis.
So look forward to next week's episode: It's Not What it Looks Like, which is the best episode so far, by far!!! I'm so damn proud of it as I spent so much time on it and fine tuned it within an inch of it's life. Then prepare yourself for the weeks and episodes to come!!!
