Classes, Projects, and some Poops

Posted by Wonchop - June 16th, 2009


If you haven't already seen it, check out my new demo reel.

A couple of weeks ago, a few of us animation students were asked to tutor some kids who were visiting the university's animation department. We had a long play with stop motion, wielding some hilarious results, followed by a flash class taught by yours truly. Teaching is certainly a tricky thing, since my pace is much different from everyone elses, not to mentioned having to point with the mouse instead of the finger. Still, it's quite daunting hearing sincere 'Wow's from tweening something. Full details, and a couple of the stop motion dooflips we made can be seen here: http://wonchopmonkeyman.blogspot.com/2 009/06/teacher-for-day.html

Also, I'm still in the progress of deciding what to do for next year's final project (I must say, it's depressing reading all these 'i got my wotsit' journals when I've still got a year to go myself). I've narrowed it down to two main ideas; either do an idea called 'Date for One' or do something with the Wonchop stuff at long last. They can be read up on my blog, so give me an idea of what I should go for (taken into consideration this would be a student film).

Got my little framed certificate from NG in the post yesterday, which judging from the date I assume is from the monthly award for Narwhals. Bit late but it looks nice anyways.

Finally, here's a couple of poops I made.

I <3 poops!

Cool! Pretty awesome demo reel. and the poops were slightly more enjoyable.hmmmm...

its good to look back and see some improvment eh? =D

Your eminem one with kirby will always be the best.

How about, for your final project, you do an animation about a dinosaur named "Eddache" who is the best loved dinosaur ever?

Looking forward to bumping into you again at the summer fling!

Why would his parents ever call him that (especially considering they can't speak English)?

nobody will tell me why everybody hates you. wtf.

I got my certificate 3 days ago. Mine dosnt have a last name :'(.
btw Seiken Densetsu 3 kicks ass!

That's an awesome certificate.

What ever happened to your wonchop/monkey videos? If you posted it already telling us that you stopped, sorry if i didn't read it.

I just haven't been able to think up any good ideas lately. And by lately, I mean the past 2+ years.

Man... you come up with some wacky crap. And you make it look EASY, man! So fudging easy! What's your secret? I gotta know. XP (I'm more than sure you'll either say it's a trade secret or say something along the lines of I'm born with it. XP (Yes, I am joking in here, but not with the secret question. XP))

Stay away from drugs and alcohol. You don't need them to be fucked up.

Congrats on the certificate, man! I'm still trying to figure out why everybody says they don't like you. You make good flashes, and your pretty friendly (So far as I've seen) Is it just because they wanted a new fad? Do they think hating you makes them cool? ...

Hehehe.. Smallman

I remeber in college working with flash and people watching me as if I was some awesome street artist xD... I miss those times ;_;

there was practically no way you'dget the 500000th anyway :(

"mommy, I made boom-boom."

i dont hate you your just creepy ROLF

How could you make Ristar for the High-def contest!
...you beat me...for so much.. D:

On a side note, that contest was 2 years ago. xP
Loved the demo reel, man.
