Uhh I'm my name is Geremy (Jeremy but with a G), I'm 19 I go to Full Sail University for game art. I have no skills in drawing or with a computer so this is going to be a kick in a face. I have always been in love with Maple Animations and I always wanted to learn how to do it. My school gave us a discount for the new MacBook Pro because they have like a promo I guess with Apple? But anyways I think with this Mac I can finally get started on maple animation. But I have no idea how to do anything on a computer but search the web so expect VERY little of me. But hey, let us see if I can do this am I right? Another thing is I stutter a lot in public. I have been playing video games all my life. Not because I want to play games because I wanted to escape. I have been bullied from 3rd grade to Junior year of Highschool. I have never felt safe at home until my stepfather was out of my life. Thankfully that only lasted since I was 5-8 so it wasn't that bad. The reason, why I'm talking about this, is because I want my animations to reflect on people to never give up and to keep going even when there is no light to on them. Once I learn how to animate like an OG I'm going to make a series I been thinking about for two years. Well, kinda I got the main character thought it and the ending of the show. But I still want to make it kick ass and inspirational. Hopefully, you guys can teach me and I hopefully wish that full sail will give me the time to learn from you guys haha.
Sounds really great! If you need anyone to talk to I'm available, and I totally get the whole video games helping with stress and stuff like that. It's why I love Zelda so much. Welcome to the community!
Haha thanks, my video game was the Kingdom Heart! But do you know any free programs that I can use to finally start animating and practice?
I don't really know any programs for Mac except maybe Pencil 2D which uses bitmap and vector graphics. Sorry I couldn't be of more help https://www.pencil2d.org/
Google how to pirate programs like Flash, Fireworks, Sony Vegas etc, and then try to obtain them yourself on Pirate Bay. Make sure that they're also Mac-compatible. Anyways, welcome to Maplemation! A really strong motivation to animate. Keep it up with that attitude and you'll get to places.
Welcome to mm!! thats fantastic you wanna make something inspirational i cant wait to see what you make! id love to hear your ideas anytime and you can message me on the discord anytime too :D
