Description Lsat week there was the national animation festival, so I decided I could join up in the student category.
I feared most of my regular work would be awkward for a more generic crowd, so I made this new flash instead, which is probably a bit more boring for you. Ah well.

I made this with XTREME ANIMATING.
That is, 80% of this movie was animating while I was sitting in the bus to school, waiting at the barber shop, or in the bathroom. I mastered drawing with the touchpad, plus I learned I can use my pants as a great mouse pad, so I can now officially animate whenever and wherever I want, yay.

Based on how I spend 80% of my old childhood, being held hostage by family parties. Voices are dutch, cause y' know, European voices= art.

As for the festival, I don't know if it's shown, or arrived there, or anything, I never got any message and there's no info on the net about which movies were shown. All I know is that I didn't win, but whatever.

Sad thing is, even if I won the festival, uploading a extremely unpopulair movie casually on devianrt will still net me more audience and praise then winning the festival ever will. Haha.

Thanks for voices to Silvia and Rick

Heh, sorry to hear about that.
It's great when you have a click with your family, but when your interests and way of thinking are on a diffrent level, it's a nightmare.

Beats me.
Grandma always translates faces of agony as "that person wants something to drink."
So obsessed in their social games that just the concept of not enjoying it is alien to their brains.

Really? I thought you were native English speaker... Strange. You always seem to talk so fluently, correct and you are giving to your speech the same emotions as if it was your first language...
Well, probably I wouldn't recognize a foreigner even if he punched me in the face so hard that I would land in his country.

Well, we dutch have a history of being able to learn otehr langauges a lot. Being big on trading back in teh day.
And in my youth, almost no tv shows or movies were ever dubbed in dutch so English is almost my second mother language.

But yeah, if I have to talk a lot of long sentences with no script in front of me, I won't sound very fluent English.

I noticed something: The people who ask the kid (is that supposed to be you as a kid?) how school is before he bangs his head on the table are the same people who ask him how school is after he bangs his head on the table! They each asked him twice!

Worked from 2pm until 1am. Still, it wasn't so bad. It was nice to see my Irish family (drunk, of course!).
I've actually got to go clean up the mess for the rest of the day in about 20 minutes! God... Ah well. It's nice to see my aunt has survived up to 50! I'm just thinking how I'm gonna be able to top it off for my mum's 50th!

I love this animation, Roger. It's actually become one of my favorites from you. It's got classic humor, and I like that it's in Dutch. Everyone can relate to this scenario. I especially enjoyed the school part- since that's all I've been asked my whole life during the same situation. The animation is smooth. And you say you did most of this on a bus with a touch pad? Very impressive! The voices were great and I laughed and nodded through the whole thing. Wonderful work.

GLad you liked it
I'm suprised how many people go trough this too. Makes me wonder if our parents thought the same thing, until they got as dull as the others.
Guess we'll be asking our grand-nephews about their school in a few years too..

yes, the hunt little children every 2 months, on dark spooky nights, they kidnapp them and they'll be stuck in dark, smoky and with flowers decorated rooms listening to the moaning and mumbling of the ghostly goons.
