Someone throw something my way. I am having a really hard time getting focussed lately. Give me a theme, a few words something that will get my butt in gear.

Animate a Gundam armored suit/robot dancing to a Fred Astaire/Gene Kelly Dance number. Do it because no-one has ever done it before.

You did say you wanted a challenge.....

I would if I knew what Gundam was. I am a fan of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly.

I've given students the challenge of doing a simple rotation of one of those Gundams--sometimes I've even brought in one of the models kits I have.
One glimpse of all the rocket nozzles, winglets, cannons, ammo belts hanging off these things and even the cockiest of them backs down.
Something like the RX-93 is enough to make them blanch.
But it IS a challenge. :P

Kind of makes you appreciate the immense amount of talent in the Japanese animation industry (limited frame rates and all).

Producing solidily ok animation since 2001.

You gotta realize I can't dance a step. Seems my hips are welded to my spine. So if any one else wants to take a shot jump in.

I've done all those things except probably cleaning house, but I cleaned sections of it. I am able to come up with static concepts, but I used to come up with a new card a week. It's been months now.

Maybe it's time for a vacation... Other time I'd watch some excellent animations, they made me think I am getting too comfortable with my works and need to work harder,everytime.
