The Epic tweets

Twitter is a great place. You can make statement, follow personalities, know what they are doing etc. In this post i am going to mention a special tweep who made twitter epic. It goes by name "Epic Tweets". I still remember, me and my friend were reading one retweeted tweet, and next thing i know that i m Epic Tweet's big fan! Now i regularly check my twitter account (as i check my FB) just to read Epic Tweet's tweet. Here are some of the best tweets of Epic Tweets.

1) Accidentally typing in your PASSWORD in your USERNAME while you're friend/sibling/parent is watching over your shoulder.

2) (phone vibrates) *runs across room* *jumps over couch* *fights off ninjas* *grabs phone* "damn, i thought u were someone else!!"

3) I love saying ''CONGRATULATIONS'' when someone tells me something unimportant.

4) Sometimes I get depressed, But then I remember I have a great ass, and its all ok

5) That awkward moment; when you’re walking and your shoes squeak..

6) The awkward moment when the polar express pulls up infront of your house...

7) The awkward moment when all of your friends are in the car and your mom starts singing to the radio.

8) you can't buy happiness. but you can buy ice cream, which is kinda the same thing.

9)I want to do it with you! I want to make u hot and sweaty. I wanna hear your heart beat. I wanna hear us breathing heavily! Let's do it! Let's go jogging.... wait, what were you thinking?

10) Dear Homework, If you ask me one more freaking stupid question, I will shread you to a zillion pieces. Do you understand?!

And i can go on pasting, my list never ends...........in case you love those and want a daily doses of those, you can follow http://twitter.com/EpicTweets_

How I make animated sequence.


I am tired of meeting client who bargain with me for cheap labor. They can pretend to be very knowledgeable, but believe me their bargain tells me about their dumbness. Here is very important article which tell how to make an animated sequence (short scene to long movie).

1)   Preproduction – we decide a story or layout, we have to show in animation. It should be interesting; it should justify our animation effort. Important work like character designing, story boarding and color scheme is also decided in this stage only. This stage is foundation and everything should be decided in this stage only.
2)   Production- first work in production is modeling and my dear clients it’s most difficult work and time consuming work. Modeling will decide how your animation sequence will look. Modeling mean to physical build every character and props in your scene. Then we color these models to give the look we want. Then these models are rigged, which mean fitting bone in body. Yes, it is very tedious and difficult work. But we manage to do it. Next work is to animate it. Please remember we like to do it slowly to maintain the quality. You cannot rush at art. Then light the scene, those beautiful magic on look are done at this stage only. Then comes rendering a scene. It’s not that difficult but very tedious. Generally take long hours to complete.
3)   Post production is carefully making it in complete video. Most of work of composting and editing is done in this stage only.

Thus you can see why it takes time to make animated sequence and why our labor is expensive. By chance any artist bumped in to my post and wanted to learn how to make full animated movie. Above steps are for you also. If you are going to attend some client who doesn’t know anything about making animation, you can make him read this. If you want to know how to choose story to make animated short, I have few guidelines, search in my other post, Here is link for same
