Have you considered doing animations based on Frigid trying to animate?

Hmm, if anything I’d have her fighting with the animator (me) and lowering her quality as a result of my power over her, which has been done in almost every show already (Looneytoons, Gumball, Simpsons, Chowder, ect).

Guys I’m so excited (I’ve said that already tonight), but I was thinking: “Why stop at just ‘big videos’? Why not make full-length movies?” And by full-length movies, I mean something as long as Double Rainboom or Snowdrop. So starting next year, I have plans to start a full 10+ minute movie to be out by the end of 2016 (but possibly 2017…)! Still deciding what it’ll be about, but I have to focus on some smaller projects first! I’ll fill you in with more details as I start working on it!

What kind of tutorials will you make?

I have plans to start with a Flash and AE Basics tutorial, and each month after I’ll have something for each of the following: AE Particles; Flash Keyframe Caddy; AE Controllers; AE Puppet Warp; Flash/AE Vectors; Flash Puppet Building; AE Puppet Building (series); AE 3D; Flash/AE Audio Controls; and more as I think of them. Basically, showing how I do each part of my videos within 5~10min tutorial videos. I’ll also take requests if a certain topic is asked for! Again, these will start once I reach my $550 Patreon goal.

Does this mean you'll also updating Frigid in video form?

Not entirely. While Frigid will be getting her own bi-weekly show eventually, I’ll be doing more still updates on the blog itself. Like short comics using the puppets from the videos that I can make quickly, leaving animated Frigid to her series on my YouTube (with posting it to the official Tumblr also).

SOooo... how much has changed when you started using AE than Flash?

Oh, I’m very happy with the changes. I’m able to work more freely with AE’s tools to create my 360-rotation puppets, as well as automated animation scripts, particle effects, randomly moving objects, and slider-controlled puppets. I’ll be doing tutorials once I reach the $350 goal in Patreon, and video tutorials at $550! I hope everyone can learn how to fluidly use AE and Flash, but I still recommend learning Flash to Mastery level before trying AE!
