An Inspired Cartoonist
When I was a little kid, I always wanted to be an artist. I would always tell my cousins, that I would become rich and give share my money with everyone. As I got older, my desire to become an artist was killed by my High School Art teacher, Mrs. Webber; but throughout my High School years, I made a series of comic books that all my friends enjoyed reading. I also attempted to create cartoon versions of my comic books. I was successful with the animation, but there was no sound.
I later discovered a way to make AVI files out of my animated GIFS, but it was a pain in the ass! Plus, it took a lot of time to convert depending on how big the file was. I created the frames with Paint Shop Pro 5. After I did that, I imported the frames into Animation Shop. I saved the animation as a GIF. After that, I open it into Gif Movie Gear. I export the GIF to a AVI. I then start working on the Sound for the AVI. I used my resources of sounds, and mixed them together using Cool Edit 96. I carefully plot each sound at a certain second so that way it will fit into the animation. After I have completed it, I then open up Personal AVI Editor. I then combine the AVI with WAVE. I then set the settings, making sure it will come out the way I want it to. Then I make the Finally AVI. Tada!
In the summer of 2000, me and my friends attempted to create a Website Design business called Raydion Industries. During that time, I forced myself to learn Macromedia Flash. Successfully creating simple website from Flash, I attemted recreating several of my original GIF projects and they turn out awesome. Flash was not only easy to use, it was fast! Plus the file output was significally small compared to the AVIs I created doing it the hard way.
I created many different cartoons, and a lot of them are very popular at a website called newgrounds.com where I post my movies. You will find all my flash animations here, including the unpopular ones. All the sections are pretty self explanatory, but a few you might have questions about. Harsh Movies are random animations I made about people I know or know of. In the graveyard you will find flash projects that never got completed. Enjoy!
