Woah, I've been animating for 8 hours so far today, and I just need a break, so I think I'll just do a blog post to take my mind off of things. Let's talk about NATA 2015. This was my third attempt at NATA, and I created this cartoon:

It's called Ten Amazing Facts About Me, and it was a parody of vloggers and what not. Well, I didn't make it into the Novice Round, which I understand because there were a LOT of great entries. I suppose I'll just try again next year. Now, there are a lot of things that I'm proud of, and there's also a lot of things that I'm not proud of with this animation. . . 

What I'm Proud of:

1.) My ability to make this cartoon relatively quickly: I released this on the 13th of June, and the deadline was the 18th. And I also had twelve tests. (Since I registered to my new school way too late, I got placed in weird elective classes and had to take seven extra tests.)

2.) I experimented a little bit with this cartoon: There were some shots that I didn't think I could do, such as the main character taking off his shirt, or him putting on "nerd" glasses, but I just said "screw it" and did it anyways. 

3.) I changed the script multiple times when animating: This can be a good and a bad, but I'm glad I changed the script to make it funnier.

What I'm Not Proud of:

1.) Some bits of the voice acting were corny, as I wanted to animate as soon as possible, so I voice acted the cartoon myself.

2.) I wish I spent more time animating some scenes. Geez, I had five extra days after I finished animating. 

3.) The whole joke in this cartoon was that the facts took a dark turn in the middle. Well, it took a long time to get to the joke, so for half of the animation, the main character was all goofy and silly, and I think half of the animation might have been too long.

4.) I wish I didn't go with a simplistic art style.

5.) The fact that some of my animation idols saw this cartoon. (This is probably not the cartoon I want them to remember me by...) 

Now, to conclude this blog post, I can say that the fact that I cringe at this animation just shows that I'm improving. So here's to hoping I'll get into the Novice Round next year [after four years(that's as long as a presidential term)]!

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, even though I'm not THAT proud of this cartoon, I'm glad that I created it. The cartoon has also brought a lot of good things to my Newgrounds page! It has gotten me a couple new followers, and it's my highest rated cartoon I've posted on Newgrounds! And you can give it a watch here:

So yeah. Until next time, guys!

OH YEAH, BY THE WAY, I'm gonna make an effort to be in every Sarcastic Collab this year, so yeah. It'll help my Newgrounds page be somewhat active.
