They say, “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” so I thought I’d flatter Senocular a bit by stealing his “Senocular-The College Years<\/a>” concept and showing you 2 of my “early” (i.e. bad) animations.<\/p>\n

My first early animation is called “Ouch” and I’m proud to say that it’s brilliantly awful. It follows the travels, travails and tribulations of a man with dangerous ideas in the midst of dangerous times. Deemed far too dangerous for society he is forced to pay the price. Did I mention the bit about danger and whatnot? Yes, yes indeed, Danger!<\/p>\n

It is with great pleasure that I bring you, “Ouch”:<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t<\/object>\n\t\n<\/object>\n

Yeah, I know what you're thinking... Awesome! Right? I totally know it. I'll bet you can't wait to see the next animation now can you. I'll bet you're on the edge of your seat, itching for another super-kick-ass fest of suck? Of course you are. Fortunately I will not disappoint.<\/p>\n

This second animation serves eerily prophetic as it was animated way back in the dawn of the 21st century. The year was 2001 and the climate was that of hope and prosperity. The air was feeling strangely terror-free and yet something seemed to foretell, nay \"forebode\", the inherent dangers of conspicuous consumption.<\/p>\n

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great \"I-told-you-so-edness\" that I bring you, \"Lemmings\":<\/p>\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\n\t<\/object>\n\t\n<\/object>\n

Yes, the \"artwork\" is painful to look at and the concept may be trite, but I can't help quoting the infamous Nelson when I say, \"HA HA!<\/strong>\" Everyone knows 'Conspicuous Consumption' can't beat 'Dwindling Supply'.<\/p>\n

So there you have it, 2 absolutely awful animations for your viewing displeasure. Now you know why I started writing code.<\/p>\n

Do you have an old animation that you'd never admit to creating in a million years? Link to it in the Comments section and tell everyone that one of your competitors made it. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
