It only took me three episodes of Pokemon to animate that shot!

@mrmattimation Not to be rude but you animate /extremely/ slowly.
-
@scoot When you're trying as many new things as I am in a 15-minute cartoon, you're gonna have some REALLY slow moments.
-
@scoot Also often times I'll spend a really long time just redoing the same line over and over again trying to get it perfect.
-
@mrmattimation At this point in production you really should be pushing for finishing the cartoon instead of trying new things, or it will literally never get finished.
-
@mrmattimation I don't know an artist who doesn't do that.
-
@mrmattimation I guess trying to give you advice will always end in "Whatever man!" responses, might as well stop.
-
@scoot I'm not trying to be dismissive or anything. I'm just getting called slow a LOT right now because of the good year of production this thing as taken and it's really frustrating.
-
@mrmattimation Well it's probably because you are seriously animating /really slowly/ . If I were your producer I'd be pulling my hair out right now, you're making excuses but when it comes down to it you're just going to have to learn to animate way faster. I don't know your methods so I can't offer actual advice aside from "watching stuff while animating is bad practice". Music isn't even recommended, old Warner Brothers animators used the phrase "Animation is concentration" and they're right. You'll probably just get upset at me but it's all true and you're going to be there for another year at this rate.
-
@mrmattimation what are you animating? :3
-
@bobthecheesegal The most ambitious thing I've ever done.
-
@mrmattimation but wat is it about :3
-
@bobthecheesegal It's the second part in my first animated story arch. I really don't want to give a whole lot of it away, but it involves ponies, Discord, amnesia, and the multiverse. I've been working with my friend Jonathan to get a really neat story together that I think people are really gonna dig.

@mrmattimation awh cool :3
