SPUD - Part 2!!!!

Posted by nahtanojmal - August 31st, 2011


"SPUD - part 2" is finally finished and right on schedule. Though I could have finished it earlier but music and lack of motivation got in the way.

I'm pretty slow at animating (even with my simple style of animating) but I think that may be because of trying to animate in new ways. But I'm going to try and complete 2 more animations before the end of the year (and not little ones at that). It may be ridiculous considering it took me 8 months to do my first 2 films this year but I think I can pull it off if I push myself.

The next one I've already spent 15 hours on but I think I can knock it over in a month.

edit: Actually no I'll do Spud- Part 3 first then the other film. Actually I've been working on the history and end of Spud throughout Spud 1 & 2 but not including that I'm only 6 hours in and only up to the third storyboard draft.

And that leaves SPUD - Part 3 to do over the remaining 3 months.

And also, God willing, I'll create 1, 2, or 3 more Spud films that lead up to "Spud - part 1".

edit: but it may be a while till I animate it because it will require a lot more, I think I'll only make the film/s of the beginning's if I get help with the animation.

Hope you like SPUD - Part 2

Oh also check out some of the things I made while unmotivated with SPUD 2.

I left a review saying this too, but I love the metaphor you used with the artificial superheroes and villains, and it saddens me that this series hasn't gotten more play so far. It has my complements. What also saddens me is that I sense religion approaching in this series...

Lets just make sure we pay attention to ALL the artificial heroes and villains in real life, not just the ones that were created recently. I'll leave it at that B3

I would say Christian doctrine approaching, not religion. Religion is what Jesus opposed and encouraged Relation. He said the greatest commandment is to love God, the second being to love one another.

Not just artificial heroes and villains but deceptive feelings that are created through such things. And make sure we judge things by truth, not truth created through our own personal interpretation or feelings (or lack there of), but truth that stands true when sought out.

All we have is our own interpretations and feelings. It is nothing but interpretations and feelings that made you choose the Abrahamic god over Zeus, Odin and other mythological characters. Religion is our personal beliefs regarding human existence and spirituality that guide our choices and lifestyles. The truth you're talking about can't be measured or validated because it supposedly requires you to believe it before you actually get anything plausible out of it. If you believe something and devote your life to it before it's proven to you, then it doesn't need to be real lol. It's already real in your head, and we're right back to square 1 again.

If Spud's goals become to bring people to Jesus, then he's really just doing what Fathom's company was doing. Haha I guess that has different storytelling value for the rest of us. Good luck with your series anyway.

I don't believe anything I say will change your beliefs, only an act of God may do that.

I just hope your only understanding of Christianity is not from what the majority of Christian churches preach and that it is from study of what the Bible says in context.

My Spud films are an illusion (drawn images in a timeline etc) that I try to use as a tool to make people think and consider what is true. But I nor Spud can convert people to Jesus so why bother....

All I can do is communicate things about Jesus and maybe God will give you eyes to see. (Yes I know that sounds intolerant, but there was a reason why people killed Christians you know) . :D

People wouldn't want the truth even if they found it. Because then they would have to submit to it

Supa-sweet Anim.
I like how you left the violence out & yet I didn't miss it(too much).

Hey thanks
