Hello, my name is Geremy!

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?

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!
