School's Out

It's the last (official) day of animation on Frog. And it's raining!

Sympathetic fallacy FTW.

Frogs like rain, so perhaps it's a good sign! :)

Hahaha. Man, can you imagine if it was raining frogs?......

A bit late for reference!

Yeah, but if animation didn't end then it would never make it to the screen and we'd never see it. How much fun would that be for us on the outside looking in? Exactly NONE. And now you'll be able to share all you have done with others. How cool is that? VERY!

Now you get to learn crazy skillz, animate on other cool projects, and do other cool things.

I imagine that finishing work on a movie is a lot like sending a child of yours out into the world. It makes you sad because you will never again have that kind of day-to-day interaction with her. But you know your work is done, and there are others who will benefit from and enjoy their interactions with her. With any luck, you've done your work well, the reviews will be good, and this effort will be followed by another that will be equally successful. Different, but equal. There is a real sense of joy and satisfaction in sitting back and seeing how things play out. 2!

Amen to all! I kinda feel the same with every project I finish, 'cept I don't get to spend that many months with it, just a couple of weeks.

Hey, I thought you'd both be amused to know that that mistake I mentioned that came in the Trailer's script (the "of Maldonia" phrase) is travelling the world! I've seen it in 4 languages other than my own and the original and they all left the mistake! (except ours, cuz I noticed on time and made the change).

I wonder where they got the "Maldonia" name from. The "Mal" could easily mean sick, and "nia" is a common enough country name ending.

It reminded me of a cartoon I watched when I was younger, and it showed Aquaman swimming to the undersea city of Mal de Mare. I got a big kick out of that.

'Maldonia' sounds to me like a cross between 'Moldova' and 'Macedonia.' It sounds more European and instantly placeable than the country name they used to have.

Congratulations nonetheless!

I saw the trailer in theaters and I am so excited to see this. :)

Your icon is awesome.

[yazzydream.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, the home stretch! Good luck! (Tho I post this a bit late.)

That's so amazing to me that you guys are still working on it. It always blows my mind to hear about movies being completed mere weeks before release, too.

I love movies. So much. :)

What's the "Maldonia" thing you're referencing in the comments? Is that not what he says in the trailer? It's hard to understand what he actually says.

Heh. It makes for an interesting last day. a good chunk of our crew is done today, and no new season until maybe next year. :(

WHOOOHOOOHOO! HA-HA-HA! It's vacation time!!

(Okay: Good for me. Maybe bad for you.)

[beckychan.livejournal.com]

How did it go? I'm still kinda antsy for you and your job situation...

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Oh! I'm staying. (That's what the Cherry comic was about. :) And I'm helping to wrap up the last remaining sequence in the movie, which is a bit different than the others, so that'll be fun. The 'last day' felt pretty much like all the others ... I think it'll only sink in when everyone starts going their separate directions.

[beckychan.livejournal.com]

Well, that's good!! Any idea what you're working on next?

Cherry comic, Cherry comic... musta missed that post...

[noodledaddy.livejournal.com]

But is it raining frogs like it is in Japan?

Now that's what I call a marketing campaign!
