That's an awesome video, jali!  Your effort really shines through!  It must've taken you forever!!

I'll listen if it would help to talk about anything?

EDIT - do you draw each one pixel by pixel or do you use some sort of snazzy programme to get each one pixel-perfect?

Thanks for the kind words, yeah i took a while, I use a program Adobe Animate, believe it or not, i've developed my own technique, it's a combination of frame by frame traditional animation and something call puppet animation, i'ts a hybrid style,

also thanks for offerening to lend an ear, they say a problem shared is a problem halfed, i'll update you on the situation later, i'll see of I can sort things out or at least try myself

I don't always know what to say in reply but I will always listen whenever you need a friend!

That's fantastic, Jali!

If a studio came to you and said "Hey Jali, we've seen your animations and we've got something in the pipeline that we think is perfect for your style... whaddya say?" but it was a totally original idea with no storyboards or even actors yet... you were given completely free rein over the look of these new characters, what would you say?  Would it be right up your street or feel like too much pressure too soon?

You're an incredible animator, Jali!  Keep up the fantastic work!
