general stuff and xiao style 3

Posted by St3lf - September 21st, 2007


as some of you may have seen by looking at my 'xiao style 2: lab shutdown' submission description. xiao style 3 is not going as fast as i would've hoped. and now that im back at school, im sorry to say...but progress has been all but stopped...that is, i spend all this time in school...so when i get home i just dont have the motivation to animate.

it's strange, because although this is my biggest project, technically, i started it over a year ago (july 2006), so given nothing to stop me animating...i would've finished it by now...but alas, thats not how life works...

it seems to go this way with some series'...a couple of episodes come out virtually together (killing spree, joe zombie) and then it takes ages for some to come out...i guess this might be because of the vastly improved animation of the series...well, that is the case with this, because although there might not be much change in graphics (although they are somewhat better), the variety of moves amongst other stuff has made this much better than any of the other 2.

i can't think of any fitting place to write this, so i'll just put it here:
xiao style 1, although i cant remember how long exactly...mustve only taken about a month (although i would advise watching xiao style 2 before making a judgement on the series based on a relatively poor animation (being xiao style 1))
xiao style 2, although was harder to make and was a big breakthrough in my animation skills, took only 2 months...don't get me wrong, that is a very long time really, but its nothing compared to the what seems like an eternity on the 3rd installment - i like the way i just managed to work through it, and although i remember getting animators block, it mustn't have lasted long (since it was finished in 2 months)

anyway, xiao style 3's overall progress is hard to say...in length, it's probably around 40%...but im animating the hardest part first, so like 20% of it will take not much time...but yeah, then youve got to add sound and stuff...so ill stick with saying it's around 40% done.

sorry if this post makes hardly any sense, but im just writing my thoughts as they come, so thats why there are big subject leaps and a lack of order...but thats how it goes.

anyway, i was basically writing this to tell any fans that i may or may not have that i havn't quit animating...just stuff is getting in the way, and that xiao style 3 is NOT DEAD! i will finish it if it's the last animation i ever do, but just don't hold your breath...or you'll be holding it for a very long time.
thanks for reading :)
