..it's over? Oh my god, it's over! [Falls to knees] Praise the Lord, it's finally over!
Thanks for starting the thread, Jennifer. It's actually been kinda fun forcing myself to do stuff - I have a hard time doing that. Plus it finally got me to finish those Docto-forthcoming project's walking animations, so that's good.
Now, to come up with something similar for February...

You're welcome. I'm glad that you were able to get some work done on stuff you wanted to do. I was able to do that too with a few animations, since a few of them were ideas that I had in my head for a while but never actually sat down and took the time to do them.
Last year's challenge was fun, so I decided that I'd start it up again this year. The challenge is to make 31 animations in the 31 days of January.
The rules have been changed just a bit this year to make it a bit more easy-going than before. Rather than the strict one animation a day rule, it's just 31 animations in the 31 days of January. So you can do an animation a day, several animations over several days, or even all 31 in one day if you want (although I doubt anyone will do them all in one day, you're more than welcome to try ).
The animations can be about anything. They can be animated gif, flash, traditionally animated, stop-motion, CGI, or whatever you wish. They can be 1 second long or they can be 20 minutes long. It's up to you. Just remember you have to make 31 animations in the 31 days of January, so use your own judgement so you don't burn yourself out.
You can update any animation as much as you like throughout the month or beyond. After all, this is all just for fun.
The fun will start on January 1, but feel free to post here before then if you want to participate or if you have any questions.
I still couldn't manage 31 animations.
I don't think I could handle even 1! XD
(I kind of suck at animation. Well.. suck at pretty much anything actually. (My spritework is sloppy, my music prowess stunted, my animation... what animation, and lets not get started on coding! XD))
OH! I have a hilarious idea!
I'm going to track down the very software I used as a kid. 3D Movie Maker, and make stuff with that!
(I used to love creating jeuvanile madness with that program. And I'm definately going to enjoy making stuff with it again!)
EDIT: Got it set up and I'm making something already! XD
Should have it done by tomorrow.
Boy o boy. Working with this software was always fun.
(I wonder if there is a modern day equivalent?... )

Sure, you can use whatever you want to animate. Last year people did animations in Animation Shop and other animated gif programs, Windows Movie Maker, Avidemux, and Flash animations. I'm almost tempted to try to do something in Mario Paint this year. :P
I wish I knew about 3D Movie Maker when I was a kid. That would have been fun. When I was really little I made animations in Disney Animation Studio, and later I used to make animations in Klik n Play.
In first frame you draw a disproportional anime styled female staring at the viewer cluelessly. In second frame, with the tan color selected, you use bucket tool on her eyes.
In that case I doubt I'll be able to create any sort of animations. I really suck at flash animations. It's more likely I'll succeed in reanimation, the process of turning corpses into the undead. Let me know when you have one of those competitions.
I always wanted to create an animated sketch comedy parody show like Robot Chicken. This year I decided to use JAM to finally make that dream a reality, one sketch at a time.
Wow. The end of the month has a way of creeping up on you.
Here's a new comic animation. I got to finally update my comic (it's been 6 months already since the last update!) and get another animation done at the same time.
I'm not crazy enough to do 30 animations in one day, but I'll try to get at least a few more up before JAM is over.
Since I don't want to bump the topic every time I make a new animation, here's two more:
I was making up weird sayings in other languages like "Voulez vous manger un croissant, maintenant?" and "Watashi wa Ichiban Pika-chan". This animation is of the latter:
And another comic because the one subscriber I have deserves more than one comic every half a year.
So, year three of the January Animation Month Challenge is coming up. Anyone feel like joining in on the fun? It's always fun during these JAMs to see what people come up with.
Oh, and if you want to pop in for a few days and do some animations but don't feel like doing all 31, feel free. I only did four last year (although I'm going to try to do all 31 this year. It would be nice to match my first year. ).

humm i think i will join in, i will do them on the day, and i will see if i can do 31
Thanks for joining in on the fun this year! Feel free to pop in at this thread at any point during this month if you feel like making more (don't let the 31 animation goal deter you, this challenge is all about having fun and maybe even honing your skills, so any animation done during JAM is a success in my book).
Here's my first animation of the month (and a continuation of my webcomic). This one's actually based on a dream that I really had where I played frisbee with a dragon. It's was surreal, and a bit strange (but is not my strangest dream ever... I should post that some time, now that one's weird ).
I'm kind of late to the game it seems... I've been participating but didn't realize the forum was still active. Here is my entry for today:
I didn't update the JAM info page with information on this year's January Animation Month until well into the first of January, so it's understandable. And, thanks for joining up and joining in.
I’m planning on making a commercial adventure game based on my Jenni comic, so I’m going back to the comics with copyrighted characters and replacing them with public domain characters and my own characters to be on the safe side. So, here's my newest animation: an animated gif of Gus the Bear doing a parody of the bee taunt.
Here's my third JAM animation for 2013. This is the next character that I changed for my comic as it was originally a copyrighted character. I was originally thinking of making the fictional animal something like a unicorn, but then I realized that there are multiple bearalopes out there. This one is influenced by Graham Annable's bearalope from his webcomic Dank (of course! I love that comic and miss it ), the Boonville Bearalope, and my bear character Gus.
My latest animation for the 2013 January Animation Month is of Captain Hook in the portal between dimensions. This is the last of the replacements of copyrighted characters for my webcomic that I can do without changing the text bubbles. I’m not sure what to do about those.
Day 6 of Animation Month... Day 3 of trying to learn Anime Studio. I actually like this one, even if my idea was something bigger: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPtkUbIcD1M

I like it too, and you're learning a new animation program, which is a great for your JAM time. That reminds me of what I wanted to do last year, using Disney Animation Studio for an animation for JAM (I made my first animation using that, when I was 13 or 14, which is about 20 years ago now (wow, I can't believe it's been that long). I think I will use it for this year's JAM for one animation, for nostalgia's sake.
Here's my fifth animation for the 2013 January Animation Month challenge. I'm still trying to sort out public domain characters for my webcomic. The latest batch is a bit trickier than the last because I'm going to have to change the word bubbles as there are references to those copyrighted characters I'm replacing and their character traits.
I'm trying to keep the general plot of the comics the same though. This one required a time traveler, and the first public domain one that came to mind was H.G. Wells' Time Machine, so here we are.

It looks like this is the first challenge like this I'm actually going to finish.
Here's my 27th animation.
I know I did something similar a couple of weeks ago, but this one's a bit smoother. And I'm really out of animations!
Yeah, ideas are running low, so the last few will definitely be ideas based on previous animations, like my last animation and like my 28th animation.
Now his arms don't randomly move into an awkward position for a single frame! Hooray!
*wink*
Here's today's animation, once again a new twist on a previous animation.
See anything? No? Cool.
Thanks for joining me Darth Marsden, GaryCXJk, and Shauntron.
And yay for making it all the way through Darth Marsden!
Hopefully GaryCXJk won't mind if I use his format to list all my animations for JAM 2011:
01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31
See y'all next year!
