Public Cel Animation ?
Oh I understood what he was trying to convey about the collection of videos.
************************************************** ***********
But that's about the only thing. What I fail to understand is why he took the time to make all that, and compile it,
>Because it was fun to do,to create a entirely
new creation,everything from the drawing technique,the fiddling about with 3 - 5 frame/second
animations and doing so on a mass production scale,the usual missionary zeal of
putting up the website and hoping others would join in and build something that would evolve and grow.
What killed it in late 2006 /early 2007 was the discovery that Frostfang,a true animated
mini-movie based on Sorcerous Stabber Orphens Episode 8 ,had garnered 112 views over a year
on Youtube whilst my el cheapo " Nude Giantess Bursting out of a Presurized Wooden Barrel"
which didn't even upload properly and was nothing more than a title attached to a failed upload,was
pulling in 112 views a day.That meant
why bother making 400 cels for a 100 second animation when all you needed on
Youtube was a flashing cel with the word " SEX" and some horny lewd title and text box
description about the "SEX" and you could rake in views .Frost Fang (which had a plot )
just couldn't beat fetishism and adult entertaiment.So the project after Frost Fang,as sort of
gothicy piece called <Hoare Fang> was terminated .What I did after that has nothing to do with
Public Cel Animation.

and send it to someone that he seems to assume we're familiar with by email address alone. I also don't understand why he decided to share it with us with no context as to what he was referring to in the initial post;
>Because when you discover a 400 cel animation hasn't got a chance against "SEX"
you tend to get bloody minded about letting history repeat itself.
************************************************** *****
or why he decided to edit the first post instead of clarifying it in a reply. Nor do I understand why he thought the TF community was dying out years ago in the first place.
> Because it was dying..In 2002/2003 Transforum blew apart in flamewars.Dragoniade
shutdown his particular website in 2005/2006 and it didn't reopen till
2008/2009.There was a very real decline in the TF community inthose years.

All I know is steam punk dragons and serpent woman legends manage to work their way into every one of his posts, even when the subject matter of the thread those posts find themselves in have absolutely nothing to do with those things. No matter how many times anyone points out how odd or irrelevant his posts are he never responds. Going back and editing his original post this time is about the most reaction I've seen him give to the confusion he generates. I think I might have seen him reply to a post before, but it was nearly a year later as I recall.
> Which has nothing to do with the concept of
************** Public Cel Animation******************
Realistically a animation composed of different voices and the audio tracks,different
drawing styles in the visual cels and maybe a dozen different writers on the script is
going to make for one jerky animation.
My research base boils down to a indepth knowledge of a 18th century Globe spanning
project to"Save the World" which included a eccentric mild mannered country preacher
who literally dripped Greek and Latin,as one of his biographers put it.
The next contributor might be coming from a base of watching
John Wayne shooting rattlesnakes in old Westerns.
Put together our differing background mindsets,and the animation a
3rd contributor ( maybe a chinese kid aware of "The Legend of Lady White
Snake " puts together will be sputtering,shaking,shooting sparks,flame and
smoke all the way down the A and B tracks of the video editorthat puts the
apples,oranges and pears together as a animated shorty.
