I have been working on my indie animated project for four years. I'm no Walt Disney, I'm no Brad Bird, and I'm no Matt Groening.

I don't remember where to start. I started my first episode of Mister Edwards/The Engineer. I finished the script and character development. I sent the script to a former producer, and he gave me feedback. I worked hard on the script, and I fixed it.

I made a mistake. I hired a lot of artists on my work server, a couple of creators pitched shows to me, and I liked them. We made an IndieGoGo campaign. @SynthWoods Studios was going to be the next Glitch Productions, but it wasn't going. We couldn't get the fundraiser. My creators were low-effort and couldn't work on a project. I had to let them go. I felt disappointed. I had to work on my project solo.

Someone from Discord suggested that I spend time on an indie animation. Independent animation isn't a competition; It's about spending more time on your project. Most big studios are competitive; most indie studios are not. Most indie studios have to work on one project.

I wasn't working on my indie animation. I collaborated with content creators from Newgrounds and YouTube. I also worked on my first YT Shorts animation. My YT Shorts video got more views. I was trying to be a content creator on social media. I was glad I got 500 subscribers, but I couldn't apply for the YouTube Partner Program. I'm just a small animation creator. Animation is hard. I'm no PewDiePie, no MeatCanyon, no storytime animator, and no streamer.

So, I finished my 3D animation classes in school. I was about to take 2D animation classes. I registered for classes in the fall. I thought I paid for classes, but I didn't. A college office dropped my classes. I took my TSI test, and I got a better score. Right now, I do have my full schedule. My 3D animation and game design friends are working on a student-led Danish game project with the Danish group. I'm still doing my animation content and continuing to work on my indie project every weekday. I work on my webcomic strip every weekend.

I registered for spring classes. I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on my stuff next year. I'll take algebra and a couple of 2D animation classes. I will focus on my indie animated project, but I won't. I'll have to spend more time in classes. I think I won't work on my stuff because I won't spend a lot of time on my animated content and indie animated project. I wish I still focused on my indie animated web series.

I'm still thinking about the future. I don't want to be a studio animator; I want to be passionate about animated films and animated shows.

Here's my work:
