Thank you very much for sharing all this, I really can't wait to see more. I absolutely love the America Sings ride and listen to the soundtrack a lot, it's a shame it was already closed down before I was even born. I do hope I get to see some of the classic rides before they close those as well, but with a bit of luck I'll finally be visiting Disneyland next year.<br />Your animation looks amazing I must say, is there any place where I could see more of your work? I love animation but I have to admit I hardly know anything about the current animation business, and who draws what. I'd love to learn more, please keep on blogging!!<br /><br />- HenriekeHenriekeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629940158767655130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28773947.post-60430837449814459392009-10-22T12:39:33.725-07:002009-10-22T12:39:33.725-07:00Wow... so awesome.

I'm odd like that, and always consider myself a burden.<br /><br />When I get older, I'm going to be an animator like you, since you make me want to try starting out. Right now all I can do are little simple animations on the computer. My best one is a 50x50 avatar of Mr. Eggz of Kitchen Kabaret.<br /><br />And I also want to build my own amusement park here in Nebraska, and I want to build an attraction similar to America Sings, but a lot different. My mom says when she gets really famous with her band, she'll buy me some land to start out with(I don't think she means it though). But I'm just some 14-year-old who believes just about everything she's told.<br /><br />I can't blog, but I'm trying to make one and put up most of my AS art as well as some of my KK art. That is if I ever learn how. I'm not that experienced with the power of the interent.Dhevilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554970932048209380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28773947.post-51690121249001948352009-09-26T10:01:35.987-07:002009-09-26T10:01:35.987-07:00No bother at all!

Actually, I animated the whole scene of Sam saying "Why, they were the songs that people brought from their native countries!". When I took a closer look at my animation and then back at the character design, I felt it could be more "on model". So I'm currently re-drawing it to look more like the color image of Sam posted on the site.<br /><br />When I read how inspired people are to make and build their own things as a result of visiting this site, I get a smile, too. To me, those are the best comments. (Granted, the compliments are nice too!)<br /><br />If what I do or what I post inspires anyone, to do anything...it makes all worth it!<br /><br />Use anything you like. This for you and for all of you so please, enjoy!James Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152399681198649024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28773947.post-44165519197157846272009-09-25T16:16:30.860-07:002009-09-25T16:16:30.860-07:00Me again.

I just wanted to point out that everything on this blog you posted(especially the stunning illustrations) make me smile everytime I look at it. Now I can learn how to draw the characters better. I love to draw America Sings characters in my spare time, and I hope you don't mind if I use them as references to help me get better at them.<br />I want to see more to this so badly.

I hope you will animate the entire thing. That's what I want to see. I will never forgive Disney for taking it out of the park. Aside from that, sorry if I ever have bothered you about this, but please animate the entire show as if it were a full-length movie. If you were capable of that, I'm sure I'll remember you forever.<br /><br />I'm such a mess.

Hey, ...You really capture the '70s style here.<br /><br />Hey, when you get to the rock 'n' roll section, would it be too much to ask if the band was actually the type of group to sing '50s songs?

Thank You. I wish you were able to see the attraction first-hand. It's amazing that it appealed to you enough to take such an interest. <br /><br />I have alot of time these days so I'll keep chipping away at it and posting stuff. Hopefully I'll finish it by the time I'm ready to retire...<br /><br />To The Infernal Mr. Adams, in answer to you question, the transitional sequences would be a series of still photographs (black & white and color) portraying music and/or iconic performers that come from not so much of a particular period in time or region but maybe of the genre or classification. For example: The West, you'd may have imagery cowboys circling around a campfire singing or of Gene Autry, Johnny Cash or other Nashville recording artists--Modern Times I'm thinking images that could range from The Beatles to Micheal Jackson..Zepplin to ...Britney Spears?...I don't know! 'just sayin'...<br /><br />I figure if it did end up being an official production, we'd probably see the Jonas Bros. in there somewhere. <br /><br />I recently edited together a title sequence for an musical set in the 80's in which I did this montage and worked pretty good. I may post that later as a different post.<br /><br />Oh, and I almost forgot...<br /><br />To fengfk2008..."uh, Thanks" (I think)?James Lopezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14152399681198649024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28773947.post-81283361389402412642009-07-18T04:01:31.119-07:002009-07-18T04:01:31.119-07:00Wow!
