Oops! Forgot to post this! NEW ANIMATION
Week 000: A Face Animation from Nathan Henry on Vimeo.
I made something new!
I just finished shooting a new animation. As soon as I can get on a computer I will start editing it.
WEEKXX
WeekXX: experiment from Nathan Henry on Vimeo.
I started making stuff again. Not that it’s very good. But that’s not really the point. The point is to create and publish without stopping. I never finish anything I set out to do, if I give myself a week to finish something, and tell myself I will post it weather it’s done or not, I’m bound to finish something.
Hi... this is awkward
I failed! YAY!
TRY, TRY AGAIN!

Week: 007 - Not Sue: A Robot Builds A Human Part 1
Week 007: Not Sue: A Robot Makes A Human Part 1 from Nathan Henry on Vimeo.
Uploading week 7...
Bed time.
Week 7 is all done. It'll be posted tonight!
Look forward to it!
Almost finished!
Week 7 is well on it’s way! It’ll be up today. It’s a little shorter then what I wanted. But it still meets the 5 second requirement.
So, like I said before this is part of a bigger project. This week’s animation is basically a teaser. I’ll explain that plot. It’s a frankenstein story about a robot who creates a human. Yep.

I wish I could've posted week 6.
But it really sucked because premier kept crashing over and over. I didn’t to post it unless it looked the way I wanted it to look. So, I’ve been working on week 7. It’s pretty awesome. But I’m nervous about this one folks. I really have to put a lot of time into it. It’s another hand-drawn animation. It’s a project I started with a friend over a year ago. And...
Week 6?
My cumputers have been acting increasingly retarded. I’ll try to get a crapy version of week 6 up by tonight. But the true verison might never come, my retarded computer can’t handle the awesomeness of week 6. Also, my Internet has been in the toilet the last week so I haven’t been able to update the blog! I’m a little pissed.

Week 005: Gravel
Week 005: Gravel from Nathan Henry on Vimeo.
1 month.
It’s been a little over a month! I’ve done it! I have about 11 or 12 animations until I graduate high-school. That’s exciting.
Week 5 is uploading.
-Nathan
Sorry for not updating. I'm not a loser.
I did finish the animation on tine. I’m not a loser. Sorry it’s not posted yet.
It’ll be up. Everytime I go to do it my internet freezes up and acts all slow.
I finished Week 004. It's converting on Vimeo now.
I finished early! I have to go to work now so it won’t be on the blog until later tonight, but check my vimeo: www.vimeo.com/nathanhenry1

Week 2: REDO
Week 002: Redo from Nathan Henry on Vimeo.
Week 4 will be uploaded on Fri/Sat. And then I will continue to use that post date. So, Week 5 will be also be on a Fri/Sat.
I want to change the post day.
You know how I’ve been posting on Wednesday? Well, I think that’s a stupid day to post. I want to change the post day to Friday/Saturday. It gives me more time to work on my animations. I get to take Sunday off. And it works out better. I feel like my animations will be better. Everything is better! Ok? So, this weeks animation will be posted on Friday/Saturday.
I want to keep doing...

Finished!
I finished week 3. But it’s not what I originally wanted it to be. That’s ok, I’ll save the gravel idea for later.
I really need to learn to make these photos into videos. I would’ve posted it a day early and gotten a head start for week 4, Or have been able to sit and play videogames for once. This project is draining me! Ahh! I haven’t drawn or sketched anything...
I am working on it.
I am working on this weeks animation. I have been super busy this week, but I will still get it uploaded on time. This one is not as much work as the last two weeks, because I started it today, it will still be at least 5 seconds.
I am really excited about the new EGM ( www.egmnow.com ) and so I decided to do a little EGM animation. The thing with the gravel will have to wait.
A side note: I...
I'm surprised, but pleased.
The week 2 animation has been watched almost 75 times today. I’m pleasantly surprised.

Currently editing.
I really like the royalty free music loops. They are crazy. The title of the music loop I’m using is called “When I’m 46”. Expect a lot of sound effects. I love this whole world of free sound effects!

Long day! But I finished it!
I finally finished it!
Now to go edit it!
Will be up late tonight!
ahh!
The Final Day!
Work Work Work!
I’ve been working all day on the animation to hopefully be done by 5. Then Ryan Dutra who helped me last week, will teach me to use Adobe Premier. Then the video should be up later tonight.
After the weekend. (and exciting news!)
I actually didn’t get a chance to work on it this weekend again. Poor me. I hope it doesn’t mean another all-nighter on Tuesday night. But if it does it’s my fault.
Also, exciting news! I was featured on a blog by a guy named Tom Judd!
Here’s where it is: http://www.animade.tv/2010/02/week-001/
This extra load of pressure might just be the thing that gets me through...

I'm worried.
I’ve only worked on the animation one day this week. Hopefully I will work more on it and really push myself, the frames take less time so far then they did for the first week. So I should be getting more done. I’ve done about 27 frames of animation so far. I’m sure I’ll get it done. But this week I’m not sure how to update you on what I’m doing until it’s...
Week 2 Day 1
I’m not sure what to do. Lots of ideas.
I’m sure I’ll figure out what I’m gonna do after school while I’m at work.
Week 001: Bath Room Tiles
YES! I did it! Thanks to Ryan Dutra. I was able to add a few sound effects and put it all together in a half hour or so. It’s Awesome!
Week 001: Bath Room Tiles from Nathan Henry on Vimeo.
Week 001 Animation Finished.
I finished on time.
But I’m having trouble editing it together. I have no idea what I’m doing. I first tried importing the photos into Flash and I put all the photos into the stage aligned them with the stage, I tested it, it looked good. I went to save and Flash crashed. It was 2:30am when this happened.
This morning I’ve been trying out Premiere Pro. But I can’t figure...
After The Weekend.
I did not do as much work on it over the weekend as I thought I would. Saturday and Sunday I did not work on it at all. Don’t worry though the animation will be done tomorrow, although I wanted to finish the editing tomorrow I will still meet my deadline.
After Day 2
I didn’t do that much work on it today. Sadly, I’ll have to work double tomorrow. (Don’t worry Abby, It’s not your fault.)
After Day 1.
So the idea for the first animation was to do it on bath room floor tiles, and it’s going super! I believe I have over 25 frames. And I plan on making this animation 10fps. Because it would move way to fast, the tiles are 1x1 inch so you can’t really be subtle.
I’m off to bed after working on this all afternoon.

An Animation-A-Week.
The idea to make an Animation once a week was inspired by Jonathan Mann who has been doing a song-a-day for over a year. He has over 400 songs on his tumblr account. ( rockcookiebottom.com ) It is amazing!
I thought why don’t I give this a try, but I think an animation-a-day is a little masochistic. So, an Animation-A-Week it was!
My only rule is they have to be at least five seconds.
If...
