Yesterday was just one of those days, and well, today I'm really not doing any better, but at least I'm awake, alive, and somehow still breathing. My brain is mush, and I keep yawning, yes I want to go back to bed. But I won't as I promised that I would keep this blog alive, and I will do my best!
As it would seem, batman agrees with me, such a manly man... Ummm, uh, yes! I know where I am, as I continue to torture you all, I am going to give my brain sometime to come up with speed, and speaking of brains, I have another CGbros short for you all. Again, try to remember to go to the channel and subscribe and like while also following me and commenting on who or what you want to see next here on "Interesting Life." -Stray.
When we look for a movie, or animation, picture or music, we look for three things, Creativity, Originality, and Sense, or C.O.S. for short. We don't want to show you the reader something that isn't captivating, and boring, something like when Numa Numa Hey! showed up, there were thousands of videos of people doing that. Sure it was great when the first guy did it, and became famous, but after that, it wasn't really good, or in my opinion, very, very lame. So everyday I look for those that deserve to have more viewers, from the famous to the downright unoticable. That is why we here at "Interesting Life" want to give you are all.
So here is the mornings first post, and I had to narrow down those I wanted to put on here, or else I would of been mind boggled and would of never made up my mind. This next video is very C.O.S. and we wanted to share it with you. "Dji Death Fails" is one of those awesome animations where you go "I want to see it again!" The Cgbros are one of those animators with which take animations, and make them more, personal if I can say that. But again, I am babbling, so here it is, "Dji Death Fails" remember to click the link below to their channel to subscribe and comment and to also follow and comment here for the latest news. -Stray.
Totally didn't see how I fudged up on the fonts for the last post, and I apologize, was in a hurry and didn't give it the loving care that I would normally put into one of my posts. But I fixed it, and all is good, I think. So, anyways, I totally didn't see this one coming straight at me, but the next person I am going to give you is well, he did very well.
ButtonFilms only has two videos on YouTube, but both are so well done, that he over 6,800 subscribers, now that isn't to suggest that he doesn't deserve them, but the opposite. I was so blown away with the animation and the artstyle, I wasn't sure where to begin. His website here:cargocollective.com goes to on to tell you about the artist himself. So here is the video that caught my complete attention, and I truly wish to see more in the future.

Click on the picture if you want to go visit the site where I got that. Oh, on other news I just did another interview with a good fellow by the name of ActiveObjectX, his video was really well done, and I really couldn't pass up the chance to see if he would be willing to share some of his secrets with me and of course you my wonderful followers. Here is the interview and the video is below that. Also, remember to like the channel or video to subscribe and to follow and comment for more wonderful news by me. -Stray.
1. Your artwork looks really cool, where did you develop that kind of style?
I normally to draw bubble eyed cartoony characters or funky looking stick figures. I wanted to make a dramatic story so neither of those styles were going to work. I drew some anime and disney inspired characters and then started to mesh them with my normal drawing style. Eventually I ended up with the designs we see in the movie.
2. Have you always been this good at animations?
Hahaha, no. Just look at some of my older animations on Newgrounds. It's pretty clear when I started out I had no idea what I was doing. It took me quite awhile before I got the hang of animation or even drawing in general.
3. Have you always liked animating?
When I first started animating I didn't enjoy it but really liked how finished animations looked. Basically I would animate thinking about the finished product rather than focusing on doing good animation. Now I actually enjoy the process. I don't know when the shift happened but I'm glad it did.
4. When did you first start drawing?
Pretty young. Maybe 5 or 6 years old. For the longest time I only drew stick figure comics and showed zero improvement with my drawing capabilities. Even though my drawings didn't change much, the stories themselves were always improving. I was learning about framing shots, pacing, character development from all those years of stick figure comics.
5. If you have any advice for any of the readers out there what would it be?
Just keep making things! Don't focus on pleasing other people, just focus on making what you want to make! Practice makes perfect. Also, listen to a lot of music! I find a lot of inspiration from the music I listen to.
6. Last and Final question, what are your future dreams? Do they still involve animating or are they different?
I definitely plan on animating in the future, I don't ever want to stop! Currently, I'm working on a bunch of stuff and each movie is completely different. I would like to release stuff more frequently. I just want the next movie I release to be better than my last! I think in the future I'm looking to write and direct my own feature films. It'll be a few years before I start to pursue that goal.
Fifty posts later and I seem to do moderately well, unless you count the five comments down below. If you were here when I was first starting you might of noticed that lack of content, days even months of no postings, except for the occasional story that I put on here. Well, I have been learning a lot since I decided to dedicate more of my time into making this a place that will be hopefully worthy of your attention. We here at "Interesting Life" needed to make changes, which was kinda what the poll was for, but had only received only two votes... Which I have to say, hurt. But, we are here to look forward into the future, and not the past, unless you just want to laugh at the embarrassments that are there.
So to take that in stride, we have decided to go beyond just stories, and to include media that encompasses a different genre, horror and good scares, also of people and their work who we think needs the attention. So with that said, if you've been here in the last month you will have seen changes, I've updated when I am doing posts, usually one in the morning and one in the evening, and that I am actually saying things that are relevant to the posts instead of just ranting. Awesome, right?
And if you remember Bill Murray, you really are awesome, also I have to say that I love Ghost Busters, and watch it at least once a month.
Alright! So now, what you all have been waiting for, who is going to be featured for the fiftieth post on "Interesting Life?"
Have you ever thought that life was stiff and not even worth living? Have you ever wondered what girls look like dressed as your favorite gaming console? Did you ever stop to think if Samus could ever be your girlfriend, in your imagination? Then you have come to right place, The Warp Zone is every nerds and geeks dreams come true, from video parodies to video game women that you just want to give her everything that you own. Since starting in August 23, 2007, The Warp Zone crew has been making their videos better and better, not to say they started out bad, just that they needed work. And work they have, today they have amassed over 367,000 subscribers and 59 Million views, and those numbers keep on rising. Sure I don't have any talent as a blogger or have any formal knowledge into writing by any academic places, but I sure know that I can give these guys a wonderful 10/10 for originality and laughs that keep coming from those that view them. So, remember to view their channel on YouTube, to subscribe and like and to also follow me and comment on who you want to see next on here. -Stray.
Now before you go after me saying that about more than half of these games are out, or that the nothing is scary, please remember that this blog is dedicated to the strange, the weird, and well, the scary. Now, since we at Interesting Life do have that in mind there will be things that maybe some of you have already seen or heard. Since that is out of the way, let's get down to business, here we are to see what games are scary, what can give us a slight heart attack, or just plain bore us, the list is below since I plainly copied from the about section from this video to save me both time and a headache. Other then that, I will most likely work on getting the next blog ready so that you won't be bored.
