 +Shane was my animation in-between assistant and idea bouncer.  We made these characters together and continually develop stories about them together.

 I had a friend in San Francisco put my movie through his VHS machine and re-record it, and I mixed those textures throughout the animation (like the beginning blue screen). I had a friend in San Francisco put my movie through his VHS machine and re-record it, and I mixed those textures throughout the animation (like the beginning blue screen).

 +====is it fully digital====

 +
 +I have zines with the concept art, which are all traditionally drawn because I think better on paper.
 +
 +====what techniques did you find most difficult or easy to work with...====
 +
 +It's always easiest for me to do storyboards and keyframes - i lose a lot of motivation with in-betweens if they aren't personally amusing me with each drawing. Sketching the motion is fun until it gets to the tedium of inking and filling in 'colors'. So i intentionally work in a sketchier style with boiled lines and lower frame rate so I don't have to match frames exactly.
 +
 +I will say I started using ToonBoom after Photoshop and the onionskinning is so much better in any other animation software Lol. But I already had all my work in PSDs and a brush I was used to. So i finished the project in Photoshop. Would not recommend to anyone else.
 +
 +====what was your mindset during this whole process? Was it mentally taxing?====
 +
 +I just wanted to finally have a sustained narrative with my characters that was more than a one page comic. And I am happy now with it! It was mentally taxing at the time thinking about how I had to "market myself " to apply to animation jobs and try to fit my nasty little self into other people's expectations. But now I just kinda draw whatever I want and people come to me to personally see how I would draw their own personal thing - rather than me having to draw for a big audience expectation.
