IT's SUMMER!

Summer is here! I am still teaching animation online several times a week, but only in 1 hour segments. I always try to do all the things I haven't managed to do during the Fall and Spring  semesters during the Summer and currently making a list of possibilities.

The Animateducated YouTube channel is going pretty good with 827 subscribers at last count and only 173 subscribers to go until we reach 1,000 subscribers. I'm working on more interviews and trying out live streaming event where I will demo something I have learned which animation viewers might be interested in.

Recently, I have been watching the Prehistoric Planet with David Attenborough and amazed how good the CG dinosaurs are blended into the live action backgrounds. It really feeling like you are watching a natural documentary with real dinosaurs as the characters. If you haven't seen it yet, here's a preview from Apple TV.


I recently discovered that someone filed a complaint on two of my videos posted on Animateducated. YouTube removed both videos and gave me my first copyright strike where I had to attend copyright school before I could open my channel to see what to do next.

I contacted the person who filed the complaint and informed them since the video was not flagged 2 months ago, I thought everything was a ok. I did a re-editing for my interview with Lee Crowe, taking out the 10 second copyrighted animation clip and reposting the video back to my channel.


Students need to make sure they understand what copyright is and how not to break the copyright laws.
