Animation and Video Life

TET's Animator Dominator Competition has ended. It was well supported but perhaps didn't get quite as many entries as I hoped. However promoting the contest was a lot of fun in the GoAnimate forum on this thread that ultimately became the inspiration for the winning entry. The forum banter that went on between various people, who are featured in the winning animation, as well as others, gives some good insight into the various characters. The same thread also inspired the story line for my official announcement animation below. So without further a do - watch the video to see who won then keep scrolling to watch the winning video.

Ludvig came up with some pretty crazy and humorous rules. His original comment was as follows: The comments on the animation show that Ryco was inspired by Ludvig's rules to actually attempt an animation based upon them. From there Ro soon followed and the informal competition was on. The winner was deter...

Ever since I made Domo Cooking (Internally) I've wanted to try another cooking episode because the first wasn't really what I had in mind. The story just kind of followed a path of it's own. I was also unhappy that Domo wasn't in a proper kitchen. Finally I've completed Domo Cooking Again (see animation embeded below), which I started quite some time ago and kind of got side tracked. This time Domo has a full kitchen and is aided by his capable assistant, Tashanna. Domo Cooking Again by etourist Like it? Create your own at DomoNation.com . It's free and fun! Once again the storyline kind of went off on a tangent that wasn't there when I started. However these things happen once you start feeling the pinch of the limitation of movement the pre-made Domo Animate characters have. I was originally hoping I'd be able to have Domo do some actual cooking this time around but I still haven't come up with a satisfactory way of getting him to pick up and pu...
