The Relaxing Adventures of Axolotl - The Adventure Begins | TCAT
This is only the beginning of The Relaxing Adventures of Axolotl! You won't want to miss where we find ourselves next in the *almost ASMR* animated series!
Day 92
Every day I animate for 1 hour. I have no idea what I will animate each day... I begin each new animation exactly where the last one left off. There is no story that I am trying to tell or message I want to get across. I am just letting my mind go where it wants.
Each segment is 100% drawn frame by frame. There is no tweening or copy/paste. The idea is not to achieve perfection... but improvement... by facilitating a natural flow of creativity.
At various milestones, I put them all together into one video.
The next one will be at day 180!

Perhaps you thought forgot. In fact, it was the complete opposite. I thought about working on this project all day. Being friday, I knew I could afford to stay up a little later and therefore I wouldnt need to rush into an hour of animation straight after work.
Of course, this also allowed me to procrastinate. Which is something I happen to do very well. So here we are at nearly midnight (pacific time) and Iam finally uplaoding my animation for the day.
Tomorrow should be interesting.

Day two:
I knew I would have a busy day ahead of me so I began by squeazing in 15 minutes of animation before I left for work. I managed to dedicate another 20 minutes during my 30 minute lunch break. At that time, I realized that by splitting up the sessions, I was actually hindering my animation process. Every time I sit down to animate, I find that I spend the first few minutes finding my rhythm. With each new session I repeat the process, ultimately wasting needed time and energy. I need to find a full hour to dedicate without distraction in order to achieve the best results.
After I arrived home from work, I completed the remaining alotted time for this exercise. In the end, I created roughly 9 seconds of animation. Certainly not as much as I had hoped... but the point of this project is not to make myself happy, but rather to make myself better. And today, I have 9 seconds of animation that I didn't have yesterday.
