With Great Boredom, Comes Great Progress.

I love animation but when it takes 2 weeks for me to make a 1 minute and 33 second long animation about angry fish, I get very frustrated!  So last night when I had nothing to do I decided to look into 3D animation, my search lead me to programs that are $500 and I am not willing to pay that much or even pirate that much I would feel horrible if I did.  Finally I found a program called Blender and it was freeware and everyone knows that freeware doesn't work, it makes you pay after 30 days! But I tried it anyways and there were no pop-ups asking me to buy it or anything I was so happy.  Blender is by the people for the people but they will accept donations, now that I found a free program I did research on how it compared to the expensive programs and other then the confusing user interface this thing is gold. Unfortunately my extremely early sleeping habits forced me to slumber until the next morning (today) and as soon as a heard a bird chirp outside I jumped from my bed grabbed my drawing tablet plus mouse and began a process of discovery.  The process was not fun at all and I started to get mad again cause it seemed like 3D would take even longer than 2D!  Well I pushed through the day and now that I am starting to get the hang of Blender making 3D image renders the next challenge is to start the animation stages.  After about 6 hours of work I managed to create a still image that might remind some people of an amazing movie but I will let you figure out which movie that is...............Deductified
