Loved every minute of it!


Wow, interesting choice of words, since they are EXACTLY the words I would use to describe YOU! Different people on this forum inspire me in different ways, but the significant thing about you is the way you have cultivated multiple talents and the way you make them all work together in your productions! I especially appreciate the fact that you have elected to use your talents to help others learn.. I respect that decision more that I can adequately say! You are very unselfish with your talent, and as a result the people around you are all blessed by your efforts. Thanks for that!

The whole thing was so professional, with such attention to detail, that it's hard to believe you haven't spent your whole life working with animation.

another interesting observation... your video/song in which you used line drawings to create the sax player was the catalyst that triggered my decision to get serious about combining my hobbies into one! That video/song of your was so entertaining and just plain FUN TO WATCH that I knew immediately as soon as I saw it that you were onto something big! In summary, I just started toying with the animation shortly after you posted the sax video (however long ago that was... less than 2 years I think)

Thanks for providing the inspiration that pushed me over the edge and got me started down this road.. I'm having a lot of fun with it, and I thank you for that!

Excellent soundtrack too - the voices matched the characters perfectly.

Looking forward to your next production.

Thanks for that.. although, I have to say I put a lot less effort into the song than I put into everything else. Band in a Box is SUCH a good tool for my purposes that I don't really get bogged down in the song. But for me, its a confidence builder... hopefully if I get a few animations under my belt, I'll feel confident enough to try a real song that stands in its own merit. Time will tell. If that ever happens, it will only be because the good forum folks like you and the others who commented took the time from busy lives to offer a word of encouragement and keep the spark alive. It is so easy to let that spark die out. Thanks for helping to fan the flame.

Having said all that, your recent song A LITTLE BIT LONGER is one of my all time favorites! I like the energy in your songs, and I especially like that you play much of it yourself! This one in particular is so CATCHY! I'd love to hear it in a live venue! Thanks for a whole different kind of inspiration!
