30 second MS Paint self portrait but my director pointed out that i always start every meeting doing this and said that my energy is admirable and something to aspire towards. and i'm documenting this because i genuinely think a part of my brain is subconsciously being influenced by HIM

#horrible angle for the screenshot but it gets the point across #which. it is really funny they never really reanimated this intro beyond giving it color #i mean they do reanimate it for the 1938 season and onward because the previous iteration is scary. scary Porky. but i've always been so #focused on how the voice stayed the same that i never realized just how primitive the animation #particularly the motion is in itself #the ending pose which is the most memorable is fine but the actual motion.. the perspective is all wrong the effects are rudimentary #the drawings are spaced way too evenly and there are too many it feels stiff and floaty #and i mean i'm not knocking it but i'm saying this mroeso because it's fascinating #you can tell they were still learning and traversing this very new medium of animation #and the standard of animation rose so drastically throughout the years it's very funny they kept this 1937-1938 era animation tacked onto #the end of every LT (not Merrie Melody) up to mid 1946 or so which is such a drastically different landscape #i think the switch to color helped make it look fresher and newer but it is amusing to me seeing how primitive the animation is in comparis #n. anyway.
