Here is where you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions. If a question you are looking for is not listed, contact me and I'll do my best to answer it.

 

Q: How do you come up with your animation ideas?

A: Ideas are something that just come to mind... like a flash. Sometimes they come one after another, which is why I named this site, "Attack Of The Idea". However, putting them into motion is another story.

 

Q: So what is the process you use to create animation?

A: With my process, I typically write out an idea, create story boards, design characters and scenery, record voice and audio effects, and then bring it all together through composition in computer programs.

 

Q: How long does it take to create an animation?

A: It all depends on the amount of work that is put into an animation and where your skill level is at. When I first started, the process was very time consuming. But like any skill, the more you do something the more you learn new ways to become faster and more effective. If I had to give an average time frame though, I'd say 3-5 minutes of solid quality animation can be created in two weeks to a months time working full time.

 

Q: How many people do you have working with you?

A: I've worked alone on my projects with the exception of a few audio contributions from friends. I am always looking to expand the horizons though. If anyone is interested and has knowledge of animation and design, contact me and tell me about yourself.

 

Q: Since you work alone, does that mean you really do all the character voices in your animation?

A: I do all the voices unless they are provided for me by clients.

 

Q: Will you animate, create graphics, or illustrate for me?

A: Yes. I am a freelance artist. That doesn't mean I will do it for free, but my going rate is affordable. If you are serious about having a project created, contact me and I will work out a contract in detail for you.
