30 days: 30 shorts
After talking about my Animotd project with some people, I've decided to make this a "30 days: 30 shorts" thing. Why 30? I dunno.. my fav number has always been 3 so I was thinking of making it 27 days: 27 shorts.. but nah, that makes it sound like I don't quite have the steam to reach 30.
Anyway, I'll be altering the calendar setup so that it's a 30-block countdown kinda thing. At the end of this 30, I'll get back to work on the next Brackenwood installment. When that's finished, I'll do another 30 days: 30 shorts. Hopefully I can alternate between Brackenwood and shorts until I die or my right arm shrivels up and crumbles away.
Incidentally, for the next 30 I may start taking email suggestions for the shorts. Don't send me your ideas yet, but do write em down. I'll ask for them later :)

Already getting a lot of positive feedback about releasing the Animotd FLAs, and it's great knowing that people are hungry for more. One or two requests have come in for specific Animotd roughs but unfortunately I saved over the roughs for the earliest October movies, so they're irretrievable.
Once again, I won't be releasing the FLAs for every Animotd, but I'll try to offer some interesting ones, or ones that demonstrate a range of techniques. Today's is the "stinky toe" animation and the FLA can be downloaded by clicking the image below:
Once again, this is a Flash MX 2004 file. The finished movie on the site was created in Flash 8, and uses the blur filter for the green gas and the blurred background.
The FLA contains a lot more drawings, and the finished movie is around 15 sec (I think).. I put a black background in there so I wouldn't have to draw his chair :D

30 days: 30 shorts sounds good :)
Really interesting that you share your .FLA:s, good thing that this new one was better and longer than the previous one. I think I can learn much from these things.
:D
With the rough draft they seem a lot blocker than the finished cartoon with the 5 frame gaps will you go though and fill them in on the proper version.
Wow, it takes me a month to make one cartoon that looks like the feces. but you have been in the business a bit longer as oppossed to my three years of messing around with flash.
Do you have any tips or resources on improving cartoon animating skills? I'm a little choppy in the animating part.
