Premise

I really had a tough time with coming up with an idea for this project. I don't know the limitations of the software mainly because I've never used it before and I'm a little worried that any large ideas would be hard to finish. So I've tried to keep it simple.

My idea is simply a cat trying to get at a bird through a window. He tries and tries while the bird unintentionally taunts him and eventually he jumps at the window and crashes into it, and passes out.

I'll probably rework the story more as I go.

Fun Fun Times

Ok, I'm going to put up some links to clips of animations I really enjoy, hopefully other people will become interested as well.

Gundam 00


This is one of my favorite animes. It has a engaging story line and has incredible animation. It is also one of the first animes to be animated in HD.

Seto no Hanayome


This is probably my favorite comedy of all time. It uses established anime stereotypes and manages to make fun of them and at the same time to make a serious anime that is funny and still tasteful.

Kung Fu Panda


What can I say about this? Awesome. Simply Awesome.

The Incredibles


I love this movie. The story is great and the characters are really believable.

Hello Peoples!

My name is Sarah Perez, and I love animation. Originally I am from Phoenix, AZ but currently I reside and go to school in Savannah, GA, with my fluffy cat named Squirrel. I am taking classes from the Savannah College of Art and Design and hope to graduate with a BFA in animation this summer. Eventually I want to be a director of feature films but that may change...

I love all different kinds of animation but my two favorite kinds are 3D animation and anime. Anime is what got me interested in animation and 3D is what helped me to decide that I wanted to be directing those films so I love them best. At the moment my favorite movie is either the Incredibes or KungFu Panda I really can't decide... the both have awesome stories and excellent animation. My favorite T.V. show is by far Gundam 00, who story and animation is simply incredible.

I also read a ton of comics and a lot of books, probably in the not healthy amount, but I really am interested in the stories and how they develop. My favorite genre is fantasy but I'll read just about everything. My favorite comics so far are Hero Bear and the Kid, Bleach and Skip Beat, while my favorite books are Sabriel and the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix.

I am a gamer, which is where I get the name Xylyndra, it has ended up being my handle that I use when ever I am online. It doesn't really stand for anything, but I really like it, and with my use of the voice chat program ventrilo have found that most people just shorten it down to Z, so I do actually answer to it. I have also found that it is a very unique name which is nice considering my name is Sarah, not that I don't like my name but there are a lot of Sarahs out there, so it helps having something different for certain occasions.
