The Easy and the Hard

Hopefully by now its obvious that animation is the hardest thing concerning film that I have ever done. Nevertheless, this does not mean that I find everything about it hard. Story ideas and camera shots come easily to me. It normally takes only a couple of minutes to solidify an idea, and by that time, I have already thought about the camera shots to show the idea. Then, in Toon Boom, I have found it easy to position object and characters where I want them, even in a 3D environment. From there, it gets harder. Character development, more intricate features of Toon Boom, and animation itself are the hardest aspects for me. I know its because this is my first class and introduction to animation, but I still find myself getting frustrated. This just means I have to practice more and continue putting out shit so that I can break through and finally make something good in the future.
