Talking about some stuff I'm doing on the way up to Christmas. · 1:07am Nov 7th, 2016
Holy moly golly jolly bike ride through a field of daisies.
For the next five weeks I'm going to be working hard on my Christmas animation. Tonight I've finally finished drawing out the last background scene for the animation, so now I can focus on drawing about thirty (or possibly more) different pony characters to star in the animation. This is going to take some time to do, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end if I could get a decent amount of views on the video. I'm hoping for at least 1,000 views, and at most...well, in reality I suppose 3,000 would be nice.
I also am thinking about doing fanfic readings again. For reasons unknown my past attempts at fanfic reading were surprisingly okay despite my British voice. So if I were to perhaps get some of my followers to do some reading sessions with me, if there is some way to do a live fanfic reading together online or something, that would be great. We wouldn't do very long stories because I can't stand reading anything with fifty chapters, so it'd have to be small stuff. Maybe a big story as part of a special occasion or something.
I have decided to finally start giving other animation programs a try now. I really want to get my stuff out on YouTube a lot more frequently than I am doing now. The more content I can get out on my channel, the better i might do because of it. Also, does anyone know where I can get Sony Vegas Pro 12 for cheap or free? I'll need it to make my videos look slightly more professional looking. However I wish to make my Christmas animation for this year in my normal style first, so I will look into other software and the like after Christmas.
Yay
4288247 The fact you still keep that avatar picture continues to make me smile whenever you comment, Baroque. I shall try to Skype chat you a bit more often.
Pfft, you kidding me? I don't know about everyone else but I love British accents.
4288259 Aww thanks buddy
I know you can animate with FireAlpaca, and that's free. I don't know how well it works though since I haven't used it to animate myself.
4288424 What about fanfic reading? Any ideas how i can get people such as yourself and others together for a reading session? Because for 2017 I plan to try and do more activities with the people I owe my (success?) to, the people who make me feel awesome. And because i kinda want more views on my channel, so why not help other people get noticed too as a good deed? :)
We could read your fanfic out loud, even!
For the fanfic reading part (cuz I have no knowledge of anything else) I would totally be willing to help out with that. I could help with polishing the audio and recording techniques and character voices too. As for the live reading thing, what do you mean by that? Just getting everyone together in a skype/google hangout call and reading the story together? That'd be a good opportunity for everyone to give each other feed back on their lines, then once the call is over, go and record their lines again. You'd also be able to livestream that too if you'd want so your audience can have a laugh at the bloopers and see the progress of the reading. Those sound like some pretty cool goals, looking forward to seeing what comes out of your channel during the holidays ^^
4288513 Hangout calls! That's what I could use! Listen, I'm going to be busy for quite some time working on my animation and stuff, but when I have it done and finished would you be willing to show me how to set up hangout calls and stuff? Like, if you could explain how to do it in a PM even, that'd be great!
