# once i spent literally weeks looking for source material for this idea...
Ozzy Osmond:

Had to make do in the end and I didn't get one reply. This is a tenuous repost really.

# The longer something takes
the worse it will be, in my experiences. It's all my quick work that usually gets recognised.

EDIT: and woo to the pic

# I've only had two frontpagers..
and the second took me ten hours straight(no eating sleeping drinking pissing) mainly because i was trying to get it really right and was singlemindedly concentrating, but that was part of it. I'm doing the sequel at the moment, not all at once this time, but it's already taken about 3 or 4 hours.

edit: I forgot to put the point in. The point is i think it depends on the idea and the person and the medium. Actually, the point is ignore me I'm drunk. Thanks for the woo though.

# Only 2
of my frontpagers have taken me over an hour. They're usually the ones i don't even think "oh, this is good, i wonder what the magic donkey will think".

# Cripes, ten hours?
If I fiddle with an image for more than a couple of hours the idea just doesn't seem funny anymore [if it ever was] and ends up in the recycle bin.

I also tend to 'hyperfocus' when I'm 'working', but I couldn't do it without dear old caffeine.

# they are animations
and they need to be done frame by frame really, and published in quicktime, as gifs can't really handle the frame rate reliably or the colours.

# Ahh, I see...
Sequel to the 'Secrets Of The Natural World On Film'? Elephantastic!

# asereje!
It will be a lot of work. But it would be worth it.

# Just doodling around with it for ideas
and a bit really moved me.
I SO wish I could do this. It's probably just one stupid codec that's wrong/missing nto installed properly.

# update
after a lot of effort, i finally seem to have the source material in a usable state.
This time next week maybe (er, I'll be in London this time next week but it may just be done by then)

# Fabby!
Looking forward to it.

# I so understand
I have an idea at present and half the source material - but can't do the hummous part that will make it any good.
