Hi everybody, I’ve just realized why I’ve been feeling so burnt out over the last year. I’m sorry for having to do this, but I had over a thousand animation ideas this time last year, and that list has grown every day. This mountain of ideas keeps getting bigger, and it’s too overwhelming to decide which ones to animate first, and so I just end up doing little practice animations that aren’t the idea at all.
I keep trying to organize my ideas to decide which to do first, but there are still so many. So, I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to just make them as comics just to get them off my waiting list. Then I can go back and animate the best ones. I just can’t go on like this.
There's no way for me to catch up. I keep saying I’ll make certain things, but I don’t know where to start because I’ve had so many things that have been waiting to be made longer. I keep thinking of ways to make my animations faster and more efficiently, but there’s no way even that can catch me up.
So I have to just get rid of this idea pile even if it means posting multiple things a day. I have to get out of this mess. Having thousands of ideas sitting on your head is no fun. I can’t enjoy working on one with all these other ones screaming to also be made. So I’m sorry that I can’t keep up. I’m sorry that I can’t do this.
I feel like the worst quitter for doing this. I feel like I’m letting you all down, especially because many of my first animations were just silly ideas and not that good of stories, and lots of my other animations were all pointless practice. And now I’m gonna take a bunch of good ideas and only show them as comics?! That’s so disapointing and I don’t want to disapoint anyone.
But then I tell myself that this doesn’t have to be permanent. It can just be practice like storyboarding I’m doing on the side and I can still post finished things. I just need to do something with all these ideas.
Anyway, I’m really, really sorry, for everything.
Here's an example of a comic I made a little while before I started my daily animations almost three years ago. The new ones I make will be much better, like there won’t be little drawn in effects like these ones, it will be all pipe cleaners and other fluffy things like my animations. They will also show one cell at a time instead of four like hre. I also, hopefully, will get the courage to add voices and sound effects.
At least posting these is better than those days where I have nothing new and just repost an old thing or repost a practice animation that is just a lint ball or something. But I’m still really sorry for doing this.
Maybe instead of calling them comics I can call them storyboards and you're just seeing behind the scenes stuff. I just hope I'll feel better after making them so I can not be stuck and be able to make more fun things for you all to enjoy. I can just make them for me and share with you guys real aniations if you want.
Just let me know what you guys what me to do if you wan to tell me what you want me to do. I just feel so bad about all this.
