Hi Everyone! First, I want to thank you all for your support and your patience. It has been quite a trip! My dad passed away Sunday last week, Oct 18. And I thought I would be back to normal this week, but turns out someone close in the family is dying, which requires a lot of paperwork and legal stuff to handle. So much bureaucracy. I have had family die in the past, but not directly where I have to be taking care of the legal issues this conveys. In any case, things are now back to normal, and we will resume classes starting next week. Classes will be at 8:00 AM MT every Wednesday, you can see this call in the calendar using this link: https://www.skool.com/2danimation101-5389/calendar

Today we won't have live class. Hi, I had another unfortunate emergency. Today I cannot attend. We need to take care of my dad I apologize for all the inconvenience. My life is going upside down right now. I'm doing my best to organize everything for next week

My dad is back home, and it has been some time to adjust to new routines, and we are finally getting into a rhythm. Thanks so much for all your support, understanding and beatiful messages you have sent. I appreciate this a lot. See you next week for those of you on the weekly call, like this post to let me know you are aware of this change.

Here' my final animation for the music video On The Run. There's a few little quirks but I ran out of credits. In my profile I mention I have a twin brother. The music and lyrics are written by the two of us. We both do all of the music and singing. We call ourselves Mercury Circus so I put a little intro and outro in the video! We have a lot of originals so I hope to make more videos when I can get the credits! We're older now so we just do some recording. I hope you like it!

Big question for you. I need your honest vote. I’m at a crossroads with what to build next, and I want YOU to be the one who decides. Here are your two options: - Option A: Videos first, software second: I keep building out the weekly video lessons on schedule. You can see exactly what’s coming by clicking the curriculum link below. New modules drop consistently, you follow the step-by-step process, and we build the pipeline together lesson by lesson. - Option B: Software first, videos second: Instead of learning how to do each technique, you get a tool that does the technique for you, powered by AI. Here is what the software would include: - Brainstorm story ideas fast - Develop character psychology to build interesting characters quickly - Write and fix scripts line by line with AI assistance - Design characters with an integrated image generator - Build full storyboards shot by shot - Fix any shot to adjust camera angle or character position - Manually fix any panel with a built-in Photoshop-like editor - Put clips together with an online video editor - Advanced cinematography controls when generating your images, including: ∙ Close up ∙ Medium close up ∙ Full shot ∙ Over the shoulder ∙ Low angle / high angle ∙ Frontal, side, and 3-quarter view And this one is my favorite. - An AI coach assistant, available 24/7, powered by Claude. This is not a generic chatbot. It will have access to everything the video lessons are supposed to teach you. So instead of waiting for the next module, you ask a question, and you get the exact answer you need, right now, for your specific situation. Now here is something important regardless of which option wins. Whenever we start building the software, everyone in this community gets unlimited FREE credits for image generation and the AI chat assistant while we are in development. That is a gift from me to you for being here early. Video generation is more expensive to run, so that part will require a small pay-as-you-go investment when the time comes.
