I spent about 10 hours today total working on the cartoon. At the most, I got about 20 seconds finished. Well, that's an underestimate, it's probably more. And for some reason, I loved every second of it.
I'm starting to grow more confident and more "happy" in the Summers Last Wave cartoon. One of the representatives from Capstone called me today after they watched the preview I made. They legit sounded like they were shitting their pants. They started bringing up advertising agencies, merchandising...etc. I'm happy because for the first time, I don't even care if this gets big. For real, I'd LOVE to make money doing this for a career. But in the end, if it all falls through, I love what I'm doing.
So am I meant to be an animator/musician my whole life (and not the other way around)? Who knows. I was thinking, if this thing expands, and I one day have my own office building, I'm going to go over the top to make sure people stay creative. I'm gonna do things like have a HUGE ball pit that every one will be required to spend 30 minutes a week in, inflatable moon jump things that you can play laser tag in, and MARIO KART TOURNAMENTS! It's going to be the best company to work at! : D
The thing that gets me SO freaking excited about the animation thing: I never have to get old! Maybe physically, but the cartoon itself will keep me young forever! Plus I can pursue the millions of dreams I had. It's like giving up the band thing was the best move ever. But I always said, I never wanted that fame. Even though behind the cartoon lies it's creator (me), I won't be the face of anything.
It's so crazy too. Anytime anyone asks me to do something, I don't even consider it. I'm just like "fuck it, I want to stay home". It's so exciting to see this world come to life, and the characters are all so insane, it's like magic seeing them come alive.
Okay, I'm done talking! But if this gets big and merchandising starts going through, dude, I can't wait to have a PINEAPPLE COFFEE CUP!!!
