( Good enough openning )
So why haven't I used DAZ/Poser software for something like
Public Cel Animation version 1 ?
My drawing learning curve included drawing RL people/places/things which
meant by 2006 I was quite capable of drawing my own buildings,furniture and scenery.Hence DAZ's pre-made elements held no attraction for me.
At the same time my Youtube videos were producing marketing results
and it seemed likely any labour intensive DAZ animation I produced would
yield similar dismal results to Frost Fang,which was a labour intensive
dud.
I'd say the best animation I've ever done is a 36 second quikkie
made of perhaps 50 to 99 cels,called <The Wreck> ,which although
likely something the TF Community would flame,has within it the seeds of
greatness.Economical to produce,has a plot,larger than life characters,salvation,drama,angst,tragedy,a great speech by the Mousetrap Goddess Histh,dragons,humans,tf,a sinking 'Titanic',a dark and stormy night,
pilgrims,a island cut off at high tide,Gaslight fantasy and Guitar Gerie
