Happy New 2023!

 Animatededucated surpassed the 1,000 subscribers, but still needs to obtain 1500 or more Watch Hours in order for YouTube to start monetizing to pay a fee for my content. Not sure when that might be, but so far we are up to 1039 subscribers and people seem to be enjoying what I am posting.

Here's a short for the New Year if you like playing the guitar...

Here is an episode about Ray Patin, a Disney animator who went on to have his own animation studio and created many animated commercials back in the early 60s. You can see a pencil test from a Donald Duck cartoon called Sea Scouts as well as some rare home movies he shot during his days at the Disney studio during Snow White. He also shot some footage during the Disney Strike from 1941. 

I have several interviews which are in the works, the next one you will meet 2d Animation artist Tina Nawrocki. 

Tina brought her 1930's rubber hose character style to the Cuphead videogame and loves animating on paper! She will tell you all about her Archery on Horseback riding and how she made the switch to animation.

I also will be talking to Tony White about his new Animation book for students.

Lots of new things in the New Year and if you liked what you see, please subscribe to the Animateducated YouTube channel to show your support!

Happy New 2023 to you!

Halloween 2022 episode

"Dark Fantasy" was a radio suspense show which premiered this episode on Friday the 13th as their 13th episode called "W is for Werewolf". 

The story follows Jim who visits his old friend Bill to discover there some odd things happening on Bill's island home. I won't spoil the story, but you will need to take a drink everytime you hear "Jim" or see the name.

I am currently working on a rough animatic of this radio show, which I will be included in this year's Halloween episode. I have edited down the 24 minute to a shorter version of 15 minutes. Here the final rough animatic of "W is for Werewolf"!
