Freedom! Horrible Horrible Freedom!

[tealin]

I am officially done on Frog. I handed in my last scene, have been removed from the mailing list, attributed my timecard to a different cost centre, and shaken hands with the associate producer. By Monday, the very last remaining scene in the film should be animated.

GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS, WE MADE A MOVIE!

Congratulations!

Oh, and I'm totally going to be smug when we go see this, "I know someone who worked on this."

I can contentedly live on smug that excrete. You know, like body odor. ;P

I think someone need sushi and talking about books. ;D

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

:D!

We still need to see Fellowship, if it's still playing! Is this its last weekend? I'm free!

[nqn.livejournal.com]

:D!

Congrats!

Way cool! I've been rewatching every single disney animated movie I can these past 2 months and very much looking forward to seeing what you have all cooked up!

[jesskat.livejournal.com]

Hooray!

(Great pic, BTW.)

HUZZAH! Now we just have to wait for it to be released!!
ps is it easier to draw on a slanted table? (random i know so is the next one) and is it harder to get a storyboarding job that to get an animator job?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

1. Yes – it's comfortable to draw on for long stretches of time as you aren't hunched over a flat surface, and the paper is more flat-on to your eyes so you don't have the foreshortening effect of a tabletop which might distort your drawings.
2. Sometimes? In features, there are far more animators than storyboarders so demand is higher and competition potentially less, but storyboarders have more opportunities for work in TV (which gets animated overseas) and live-action (which doesn't get animated at all).

Do I spy a map of AM in the background there? :P Congrats!

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

WOW you're good. :D

[veronikamg.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! You guys made a movie! ^^ That there is the "I have my life back, what does one do with a life, again?" expression. :D

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's so true ... All I can think of doing at home is cooking (I haven't been able to cook for MONTHS!) and then there's all this food around that has to get eaten ... I'm going to get so fat. ;) Luckily I just stuffed my fridge with veggies from the farmer's market so there isn't any room for bad stuff.

Congratulations! Your first disney film and definitely not the last.

We're pretty much done work too, the last bits are going to go to the regular workers as they actually need the job. I wish we could have done more, it's really fun.

And we're having a mini rap party at the beginning of August. The directors are going to come down. We are totally going to make them sign our frog poster :D *geek*

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

HIGH-FIVE!

That's awesome that the directors are coming up, they're such nice guys. I'm going to be doing the poster rounds myself next week ... it's tricky cos half the crew is on vacation ...

[sola.livejournal.com]

Congrats! Now we all get to bounce in anticipation. :D Many more projects like this for you soon!

[rowen26.livejournal.com]

Congratulations!

[iseepurplehair.livejournal.com]

:D Awesome. It must feel great to have worked on a project like that.

My inner obsessive nerd needs to know: did you draw that AM map, or is it available to purchase somewhere?

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

It is available for purchase (http://www.amazon.com/Streets-Ankh-Morpork-Discworld-University/dp/0552141615/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1247353151&sr=8-1) – it's officially called The Streets of Ankh-Morpork and not only do you get a detailed and accurate street mapp but upon it are marked divers and amusinge points of interest!

And now she takes up coke.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

No, my dear, you mistake me ... I am a catharsis junkie. No chemical can rival the high I get from a good emotional purgative!

[theatreotter.livejournal.com]

congratulations! i can't wait to see it :)

on an unrelated note - you worked on "bolt", yeah? i know this is kind of a long shot, but do you happen to know nathaniel lane? he also goes by than. he's a friend of a friend and i heard he did some work on the film, but i'm not sure in what capacity.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

I didn't work on Bolt but I have heard of Than – I wouldn't say I 'know' him, though. We might have been introduced once. It's a big studio.

[seizethesporto.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! That is absolutely awesome.

[my-fox-rocks.livejournal.com]

Good job, Tealin! : )

[aspectabund.livejournal.com]

Is that the Voodoo man? You really captured the essence of his top hat. I can see how you all can draw so awesome, what with model sheets like those. XD

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Eeeheeheehee. Heeee!

YES.

[infiniteviking]

Hurrah! Congratulations, Tealin; it's been epic reading your posts about Actual Real Animating!

Woopee!

[yazzydream.livejournal.com]

That's so exciting! Congratulations!

[kaseitomodatchi.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I can't wait--I'm am sooo stoked for this. GO TEAM! Everything looks amazing and December can't come fast enough.

[putri-nih.livejournal.com]

You must be crazy to be in Cali and wearing long sleeve and...are those boots or extremely long socks.(then again I have no idea how the Middle Eastern women wore black in countries that's constantly 40 degrees Celcius EVERY DAY)

Congratulations nonetheless :D NOW RUN FREE AND FROLIC

WHEEEEEEEE

Answer: DISNEY'S RIDICULOUS AIR CONDITIONING

I am serious. It gets actually cold if you wear 'summer' clothes.

[ledygrey.livejournal.com]

YAYYYYYYYY! CONGRATULATIONS!!

ps. love the angle on the pic. it took me FOREVER to figure it out.

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

It took me forever to get the pose right, so I guess we're even.

Congrats Tealin :) I'm probably going to keep your posted picture in my Microsoft folder of Harry Potter/Tealin goodies, but otherwise I hope you now get to run around in the California sun and enjoy the rest of your time off until the next Disney job comes along!

[twirlynoodle.livejournal.com]

Not the sun! Noooooo! [hisssss]

[crypticidentity.livejournal.com]

Question: Where is the quote in your icon from? I may be tempted to use it in the future...
