Hey guys!
So I'm gonna start doing some Q&A videos
So we can all
LEARN
about who I am
and we can all be connected
and friends and stuff
anyway *laughs*
Ok so the first question is
How old are you and what made you do animations?
So I've gotten so many questions
Are you in college? Are you in high school? How old are you?
I'm seventeen and I'm in my last year of high school
so i'm going into collage next year....
but yeah
As for animation wise, I really have no idea how I got into animation
I've always been drawing ever since I was little
And I just all of the sudden wanted to do animations
So I Iooked it up I didn't take any classes
and I taught myself! and I'm not a professional at all
I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything wrong. So...
I don't think you guys want to learn from me.
You should probably learn from a professional. Like I didn't do.
When did you start animating?
Now this is a funny story
I'm sure you've all seen that terrible mother animation that I made for Cupquake right?
Yup that was my first animation that I've ever made in my entire life. *laughs*
Like I said I'm not a professional at all
I just jumped straight into it, I did my best, I had no idea
what I was doing but it turned out pretty well.
And I'm so glad that so many of you had such
positive feedback and you loved it and you want more
and that's what really helps me grow as an animator,
so thank you! :D
Next question: "Do you have anything big planned
like a long video or something?"
For this channel no, but as you guys know,
I work for Cupquake.
and the animation that we are working on right now is AMAZING.
It's turning out so well
and I think you guys are gonna love it,
maybe even more than 'Terrible Mother' and 'Dino Killer',
the other ones that we have out
It's different, it's a lot different
from the Minecraft shorts,
but it's my favorite
out of all of them so far.
It's probably not gonna be out for a couple
months because, it's
it's different. I'm trying not to give
you guys any hints, but
you're gonna be wanting to watch it five
days a week. Trust me.
QUICKLY! IT'S LIFE OR DEATH!
YOU HAVE TO CHOOSE!
PICK BETWEEN
HAVING HANDS FOR FEET OR FEET FOR HANDS
DO ITTATAT
Uh... *Laughs*
Considering that I need
my hands to be
doing animation and drawing
I'll probably have...
Feet for hands!
No, I'm just kidding
Definitely hands for feet
No questions asked
But seriously,
I've tried drawing with my feet before
and it is HARD!
Props to people with no hands
and they have to draw with their feet
Next up:
Are you ever going to vlog on your Youtube channel?
Now I'm taking this as:
What do you look like?
And... I knew I was going to get this question eventually,
but right now I'm only focusing on getting animations out
because that's what I think is really important.
I guess I can tell you a little bit on what I look like:
Um... my dad is white or caucasian
and my mom is Japanese
and they both grew up in Canada
so I'm, like, White, Japanese, Canadian...
but I also live in the U.S, sooo
That's a little bit on my background
but who knows, maybe in the future I'll show you guys what I look like
but... for now, no.
'Why do you make videos for Cupquake?'
Okay, this is something that a lot of you guys probably are wondering
I used to be just a fan of Cupquake
I just watched their videos, I was just a subscriber
That was it.
But one day I decided to send in a fanart
and they posted it on their channel and I saw it
and I was like "Oh my gosh, they liked my art!
I should send more!"
And they started kinda talking a little about it
And they also mentioned the fact that they were looking into animating
some moments in their videos
And I was like 'Oh my gosh. I don't know how to animate
but I was thinking about learning how to animate."
So I sent them a message, I said
"Hey! I kind of know the basics of animation."
and they kinda already knew me by my art
So they were like 'Okay, what's your email, what's your Skype,
let's get in contact, let's make this happen!"
And one thing led to another and... out came 'Terrible Mother'!
and you guys loved it so much
we just HAD to make more
and that's how this whole animation thing started.
So that's I'm telling you guys;
You have to get yourself out there because
my whole career, basically, just started by
sending in a fanart,
which is a prime example why you don't know
what possibilities are out there!
You just need to pop your bubble and form the path
that you want to take.
'What inspires you to draw or animate?'
And this is a really quick answer;
It's you guys!
All the support and allll the love
and comments you guys leave for me
is the most inspiration that I could ever have
and... you guys don't know this but
I really doubt myself when I make animations.
On all my videos so far, I've always been working on it,
in the middle of working, and I just think to myself
"I don't even know if this is funny,"
I don't even think that you guys are gonna like this
and I think about, just, starting over and doing something else
But I just post it, and all the comments
are SO nice... there's a little bit of criticism
but it's like really good criticism
and it's like "Maybe you should do this"
and it's really nice, and you're all so polite
and that's really what inspires me!
So as long as you guys help support this channel and me
then you guys are definitely gonna be getting more animations
So thank you guys, I wanna also thank you guys
for 13 thousand subscribers
in two months!
I don't... I have no words
That's... beautiful *laughs*
Thank you guys so much!
