Here's Some Tea, I'll Avoid the Parties



I have no connection whatsoever to Lipton, I was just told to do a fake commercial for Motion Graphics class, and I decided to do tea (because I was drinking tea at the time).  I chose Lipton because... well they're well known... and they're logo is easy to draw.  Oh, and the song is the intro to This is Your Life by Newsboys (normally I don't listen to a song with that much chorus-repetition and sap, but my iTunes was on shuffle that day.  It was a total light-bulb moment.  It's so delightfully commercial!)

 

Another animation test for Carpe Noctem.  I plan to do all the hand-animating this weekend on account of the school computer labs being shut down.  It's due to this little world-leader get-together called NATO.  Maybe you've heard of it.  I understand that the university trying to avoid innocent students getting jumped by crazed protestors... but I can't help but note that this never happened in Champaign-Urbana.

If you're struggling to get This is Your Life out of your head now...
Earworm of the Day: Kids in America as sung by Cascada and seen in the English-dub of the Digimon Movie.  Was I a Digimon nerd as a kid?  Yes.  Yes I was.  In my day it was either Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-gi-oh, or Dragonball Z... and I chose Digimon because:

  1. the monsters spoke in full sentences
  2. "surviving in an alien world" is a more compelling premise for a TV show than "competing in a card game tournament".
  3. the fight scenes didn't last a month.
Strangely enough, fast-paced fight scenes are also a reason I like Nickelodeon's Avatar.  Personal preference I guess.
