I was feeling martial artsy today and thinking of people here on Newgrounds. It means a lot to me that so many people have contributed to the community in over 20 years, and so much has been done to make cartoons something good for a lot of people. What I learned is that with my camera and thoughts, I can make still frames that I can use as a digital asset and design a sequence of frames that use some real lithographs and some that are drawn together seamlessly. I had this idea of recording my ideas with a camera and making them the still frames with a tripod and shutter timer. Using light techniques to animate real frames of martial arts and then drawing characters doing the 'moves' would be a good thing here on Newgrounds. I think martial arts is great for lithography since the energy moves are so bright and colourful. The camera also has a good battery and uses thought to look through the lens. Other things I've done with the camera are use it for astronomy, and make multiple exposures of the west sky after dusk. I learned a lot from the pictures, that the stars go by us and it was like this at the time before the planet Sol crossed the sky. It's a great tool that is useful for making the things I've needed as a way of finding out how an image worked with more than what I could see. Martial arts has a lot of energy, and things that record it like a camera can be a useful teaching tool, and I hope to be able to journal and make some animations of this in the future.

Hope something great comes of the plans!
