Ooooh. So... This just turned up on e-bay... I Theorhetically, I could get it a ride from San Diego to Conference and then a ride from CF to here, but is it worth it? I can use the one at school. My instructor has also mentioned that he knows of a couple of free ones, though the only one he's mentioned solidly is in Indiana... And an OXBERRY MASTER SYSTEM! (For those that don't know, this is a top of the line animation desk. It is also about 12 feet tall and weighs about 2 tons and is an insane level of overkill for my needs. It's like hunting deer with a howitzer.)

So... On the plus side, it'd be neat and I could do totally traditional animation with it and I'd be useful for my computer scans because I'd have a nice sturdy stationary setup and it has the glass to flatten things. On the downside, I'd have to get it here and it would occupy space. Hmmsky. Gotta think more.

Anyhow, in other animation front news,

paka and

perlandria came over yesterday night for our first animation group meeting. I was running really behind on making dinner but other than that, I think things went really well. I had a GREAT time working with Paka and felt really productive. We talked abotu his story idea and character designs, played with a couple changes, and so on. It was fantastic, the way I always imagined communal art projects might be. Anyhow, looking forward to doing tests of the characters in the story for next week. :)
