11 second club Mexican Potato guy

I made this in Blender 3d, from scratch when I was 18. I still cannot believe the amount of time I spent back then trying to do really simple tasks in a 3d application. Youtube was still young, and there were mostly just stupid/funny videos to try to drive traffic. I was born just a couple of years early I think.

I used to go to the library looking for books on animation, and all I could find was this textbook on how to use blender, and a book from Bluesky Studios that sort of just mentioned how the process works from start to finish...but they didn't tell you how to do anything. I definitely should write a post about the books that saved my sanity! Really, I was trying to learn a skill that literally NOBODY that I knew had any idea how to help me. It is hard to learn something when you don't have anyone to turn to for answers.

This will be a good topic for a later post.

My August 11 second club submission - It is in Spanish, so I am not so sure that the lip sinking is correct.

This is my entry in the 11 second club's competition. If you have any questions as to what this is all about - just go to 11secondclub.com, and you can vote on your favorite animation skills!
