Will This Ever Be Finished?

1st Half Circus from Elana Pritchard on Vimeo.

Not without some kind of funding.

I did the first half on a bamboo tablet, but it's frustrating and takes twice as long as a Cintiq would.  I need some decent equipment, not to mention money to live on.  Anyone who animates knows how time consuming full, finished animation can be.

Help!

Do You Think This Is Worth Finishing?

Here's what I have so far:

and this:

It's the first time I've done a cartoon, and I've done all the animation and inking on a bamboo tablet.

I could really use your thoughts here guys.

Finished Intro Animation

Here's a completed snippet from the intro to "Tank Visits the Circus".

The words "A Cartoon" are going to appear at the bottom.

What do you guys think of this animation?  Can you leave a comment about it?

Rough Animation Clip

Here's a piece of rough animation from the intro to my cartoon.

Done in Toon Boom Animate.

Baby Elephant Sequence

For some reason it didn't sync  exactly the same after it was rendered as it did in the program, which irks me, but hopefully that will be cleared up for the final.

 

If you like my cartoon so far and think it's worth supporting please take a moment to make a donation.  I'm doing this 100% indie.

Animation Practice

For a study I took George Liquor drawings and put them together in Toon Boom.  Then I broke them down to their basic construction...

Funny Animation

A friend sent me this animation and it made me laugh out loud.  I figure that has to be worth something...

Preview

I was going to wait until this was all done to upload it, but since it's taking longer than I expected, here is a preview.  I'm not nearly as good of an animator as some of you out there- so I apologize if I did something wrong.  I didn't mean it.
