So yes. I have done a few animations. The hardest part of animating, for me is...
MAKING UP STUFF!
Well... over the years, I have realized that I can't create content out of my head to save my life!
Some of the best work I've done is when someone else has created the drawings, and all I have to do is trace them, rig them, and animate them.
As an example, the cartoon I created, "The Medium Doesn't Matter", was first a comic strip.

Then, I found an audio file that someone created, which was meant to be played as you read the comic strip.

After that, it just took me two weeks-- on and off, not all the way through-- to make the cartoon. I mean, i was working AND going to Grad school, and was STILL able to churn out a one and a half minute cartoon.
So... I REALLY think if I found someone out there that had a comic strip, that I could easily animate it--depending on it's style. I mean, I'm not looking to go crazy here! I wanna have fun, and be creative, and ANIMATE, dammit!
So, if you know any comic strip people whom you think would make a good comic strip, please leave a comment!
Thanks!
