Dude...

That is pretty weird. I like it, though. I think you're a bit mad in the head.
Nonetheless, strangely intriguing!

Thanks for the comment!

Well it was meant to look like a certain person - no name. But it can also be looked upon in a general way. A person taking on a role - being given a role gets sort of glasses - beginning to look at himself/herself and the fellows around in a certain way - becomming blind for certain things - just seeing somethings.

And the ones around this person - some of them also begins to act strange, weird, becoming a bit mad - believing in something in this person, seeing something in this person, not reacting on certain behaviors from this person, accepting strange behaviors from this person.

A badge of some kind can change both the person having got the badge and the persons around this person. So I do not believe I am mad - trying to see things - it is more the ones not seeing being mad. The ones being hypnotized of badges... How can you get out of this hypnotizing? I believe it is both about knowledge and insights... everyone has to try themselves!



Well have a look around and perhaps you understand. It can be a moderator on a forum acting childish or it can be some president sitting in a school doing nothing then he is told the country is under attack. And people around him is accepting his behaviour. They do not try to figure out why he behaved so strange.

People are so hypnotized of media so they cannot figure out what has happened even if they are told some guys were filming the event - as they tell us on TV:

Isn´t this a strange, weird, mad world? People not believing their own eyes and ears - not being able to use their tongues to tell.

This is just a short episode.... I have done.... a bit hard to figure out from this short cut my intentions... It take time to animate with AM... how to make half an hour animation a day? That is really hard to say... Have you tried Machima?

And you can also do poetic things - how many hours have this taken?

Can you do the same in AS? but in 2D?
In AS you have got actions.... but they are behaving a bit strange... I think... or I have not got the right way.... are you using actions in AS???

I saw your characters - the sun and the fat one - they were good - but so simple - I believe it is hard to animate in AS with complicated characters. You can use bones, but it becomes complicated too...

But using Machima teqnique in AS is it possible?
And for sure Papagayo is good in some way - but it also takes time and gives some strange results... too much lip-syncing... mostly....

I did this one - having got someone commenting and five stars. I believe this animation is really a hard hitting one!!!

Well I believe the teqnique for animating quick and easy has not yet arrived... One man Disney companies - no, not yet possible!

Read this:
http://www.cecropia.com/news/TorontoStar06.09.28.shtml
In 2004, when The Walt Disney Company decided to shut down its old-school hand-drawn animation studio in Orlando and move towards all-digital filmmaking, it heralded the end of an era in animation. It also spelled job losses for approximately 250 animators and technicians working there, many of whom had more than a decade of service with Disney, the only real employer of pencil-and-paper animation artists in the region.

And they have lost their jobs - "thanks" to the computer... they cannot go out fishing... letting the computer do their job... because they do not own the Disney-badge... now it is the owners of badges = big companies = banks deciding.. something wrong here I believe.

Have a look at this:

And they are trying to implement AI...


I believe this world has gone a bit mad... but how to get this world balanced? How to get people not acting strange having got a badge... or reacting strange to the one having a badge.... We are acting on symbols...

Read dialectics to understand a bit....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dialectics
We as humans are acting on symbols. For sure there are a real world - a configuration in time and space of energy/matter.... There is materialistic dialectics invented of Marx.... but that is not the whole truth.... the media is nowaday propaganda and people cannot see they are brainwashed... but how to take yourself and others out of the brainwashing.... It is hard to say but a movie like The Money Masters is good for getting some understanding--- but I believe many are to lazy to try to educate themselves... we have had two world wars and now the third... and people cannot stop that shit... that is strange... that is a mad world!!!

Man has lived in small groups - Papua New Guinea - has 800 languages and a population around 10 millions. In small groups there are some balance in the group and between the groups. Now with Internet and money we are one big group of sex billions - how to get some balance in this group? Now the house bubble perhaps bursts in US and the whole world will go into an economic depression - like in the 30:s. It is so big forces acting - we cannot balance those forces... animating it is possible to say something.... try to balance forces... but some are using animating to make just profits for themselves...

See the Money Masters and you can understand something!

So thanks for your reply - and you had some thoughts in reply - perhaps you can use my thoughts to make some animation.... and you and others are welcome to react upon them.

PS
You can have a search for crazy frog on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... rch=Search
Some of them having been viewd a half million times!

And you can compare with The Money Masters:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ey+Masters
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ey+Masters
Having about 50 000 viewers in average. Well to understand the difference you can read about the book Propaganda:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays
In Propaganda, his most important book, Bernays argued that the scientific manipulation of public opinion was necessary to overcome chaos and conflict in society:
The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.

Well - why call it democratic - governed by the people - if it is brainwashed? Why not use Wash-o-cratic society or some more truth telling name. Many people are satisfied by watching the crazy frog. They identify with the crazy frog. For sure it is funny.

But there are so many other qualities to find in life. Now you can substitue those possibilites using a crazy frog and perhaps missing your own daily life - and missing to try to find out truth, love and peace for the world - being satisfied of a crazy frog. To understand what is happening - how the Big Brother society is being built you can have a look at H G Wells The Open Conspiracy written 1928:
http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/hgwells/hg_cont.htm
Perhaps it is possible to animate on this one - making it as popular as the crazy frog - giving some knowledge and insights...

The establishment of the world community will surely exact a price - and who can tell what that price may be? - in toil, suffering, and blood.

And try to understand why his vision is false! What vision is true?
Well - you better sit down and meditate on that... to find out!

There is also another book of H G Wells you can have a look at:
The Shape of Things to come
http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/w/wells/hg/w45th/
to animate on those shapes perhaps???



Well H G Wells The Shape of Things to Come is not funny!
It is a tragedy - but why cry? better laugh? And/Or!
