HOOT! Gets a Television and Meets' The Honeymooners

This HOOT! animation has gotten the most views out of all my work on GoAnimate. I had just up graded my free account to an GoPlus account and was able to import video---so I played around with my collection of the Honeymooners, found Ralph's infamous Bang Zoom lines and well, I had fun putting it together. You'll notice a tail in one of the Honeymooner episode scenes---that's my Ginger. She a cockatiel, who like to hang around the computer too. She thinks I'm her flock. LOL anyway, I hope you enjoy HOOT! intro to The Honeymooners, and gets turned on the Hucklebuck. Animating is a lot of fun. This animation was done sometime in September of 2010, the same month that I was nominated Animator of the Month on GoAnimate. Which certainly lends to the amount of views it achieved. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

HOOT! Wins the GA Let's Dance Contest

One of the things I like most about Go!Animate is that they run weekly contests on a variety of topics usually giving users about 24 hours to get in an entry.  I really like the challenge of the time constraint as it forces me to think up something and stick to it---as opposed to my ever changing mind jumping around while I work off the cuff---which I also like to do.

Anyhoo, the contest my HOOT! animation won was for NATIONAL DANCE DAY IN THE US (being July 31).  I quickly anagrammed the theme phrase and found AHOY! LAND INSTANT AUDIENCE.  So seeing how I love the MOON and HOOT can fly---why not get a couple of characters up there to show off
their dance moves in celebration of the national event.

Hope you guys enjoy---pass the it along if you think others will get a kick out of it.

Introducting Hoot - The Owl that likes to Anagram

Hoot's Beginnings

Always being in awe of the words that can be made with the letters comprising other words---I always wanted a way that would creatively show, and tell, how both Anagrams and Lexigrams seem to have their own way of telling the truth about their subject.

In April of 2010, I happened upon Go!Animate.com and through its cartooning platform with alittle help from one of its top animators---

----I was saw my Hoot off paper and come alive in a cartoon. It was a remarkable moment for me. As Hoot's mental birth came to me back in 2008 when I stumbled with the techniques I was learning how to do Stop Motion video.

One of GoAnimates cartoonist, named The Extraordinary Tourist, brought Hoot to life for me from my original drawings of him and his special home in a big green tree and gave him his new home on GoAnimate.com.

I'm hoping that my blog readers will enjoy watching my Hoot! cartoons as much as I have enjoyed making them.

Here is Hoot!'s first cartoon after TeT aka: the eTourist aka: The Exordinary Tourist aka: South Austrialian Artist David Arandle. I plan on sharing soon some of TET's amazing cartoons. Hoping you get inspired to create a cartoon of your own, here's Hoot!

Lexigrams

I made this stop motion video on Lexigrams, which are something like anagrams, only a bit more intense. anyway, I'm posting it here as a reminder of my progression in video editing has taken me. As well as, share with all of you HOOT!'s beginnings as a muse for my word play.
