Description Wow you guys… I’m completely blown away by the response to the animatic I posted yesterday. I was hoping Ferris would be well-received, but I didn’t imagine it would be received this well. I’ve never been happier to make so many people cry. Thank you guys so much for taking the time to watch my silly story!

For a long time, I’ve fantasized about making an animated story of my own, especially after seeing a great feature film. Of course, I don’t have millions of dollars and a huge workforce at my disposal, and I’m not an animator by trade, so I thought making an animatic like you just saw would be something I could do But a lot held me back. The biggest one was self-doubt. I wasn’t sure if I was completely over-estimating my abilities, or how much people would enjoy an animatic. Would it be boring without full animation? Would the stories I’d make have awful pacing, or be completely ham-handed emotionally? Was I even ready, artistically? So much was stopping me from investing the hours.

It’s a bit of a dream come true, to see how everything has turned out. I feel validated, that these last 7+ years of imagining that I could do this weren’t completely wrong. That I should have had more confidence in myself all along, and that I really do have the ability to tell entertaining stories.

Foxfall (aka. AJ), was a huge credit to the success of the animatic as well. This project wouldn’t have turned out as good as it did without him. He was wonderful to work with, and is incredibly talented at what he does. Feel free to check out more of his musical work on his Soundcloud by clicking here!

Finally, for those who have been wanting, and asking if I’ll be doing more, yes, I absolutely will! I have a story in the works called Ottermelon that was intended to be finished long before Ferris ever appeared. I’m going to take what I learned from Ferris, work on it when I can, and try to have it out by the summer!

Take care you guys, and thanks for all your support! <3 I'll reply to more messages/comments once I can!

This was a fantastical piece of animation that resonated my heart strings. As a kid in high school, I'll admit I wasn't as popular or had as many friends compared to my peers, but your animated short reminded me of how much I've come. I now have a boyfriend, am going to my dream college and have many friends I thought I'd never have. I hope you continue with your animatics (and give Ferris a sequel )!

Also, cannot wait to see Ottermelon :3

You deserve it Tem. You have the talent for a moving story that is well paced. Plus great character design and, especially emotion in those characters faces. (Snout, something like that.) You brought a smile to my face. Maybe I didn't cry, but my tender hearted brother might have. 

Keep up the good work, and I'm sure we all cannot wait to see whatever else you come out with.

Just one "plot hole" I spotted: If he came with the last bus to the party .. How would he normally get home?

Temiree In reply to JuanaIgushi [2017-12-04 17:11:14 +0000 UTC]

He was planning to call home once he needed to be picked up (no driver's license yet), but he forgot to charge his phone so it was low on battery. As a result, he waited a long, long time, hoping those guys would show up, so he wouldn't have to use it. But, because he was so excited to go to the party, rather than call home, he relented to calling his contact at the party (Harry) to say he was waiting. However, as he found out it was all a prank, his phone ran out of battery, cutting off that life line he had to getting home with his parents picking him up. All hope was lost until the bus driver showed up again, nearly hitting him in the process. X)

It's pretty good for animatic standards if you ask me: and the music gave a major contribution. Personally in my experience, what really sold the idea was your storytelling: no matter how fancy looking the pictures are: without a good story, it'll be in vain.

So in few words, congrats ^^

You should try to have more confidence; you're genuinely very good at manipulation emotion and creating an effective story.

Hey Tem, will we be seeing more of Ferris?

Temiree In reply to Ferretscar [2017-12-04 17:12:24 +0000 UTC]

You guys will be! I consider him a regular part of the cast now. If I were to have released Ferris last month, he would have been in the birthday picture, for example.

I'm really glad I was able to help you out with that. Your art is great, amazing to say the least. Your expressive characters just feel so alive and relatable. It really was a pleasure to work with you.
Go Tem!

Your work is amazing. That animatic had more thought and emotion put into it than the average 90 minute animated film. It's amazing to also see the artwork somewhat animated too.

"I’ve never been happier to make so many people cry."  

And don't call this a "silly story"! It was heartbreaking! But also inspirational.

But I'm really happy you finally have the confidence you needed, and I hope you're able to grow from all this and create even more wonderful things. And, I might as well admit it: ...I'M REALLY HOPING YOU DO MORE WITH FERRIS!!!!

Ahem, sorry, but yeah. I hope you do a sequel or something that shows Ferris finally finding the flock he deserves to be apart of. He's such a nice little fox, he should have his own little group of friends! Heck, I'd even support a little mini-series based around him.

All in all, dude, you created something awesome, and I hope this is only the beginning for you. Take care, keep being amazing, and God bless.

I've yet to get to watching it, but I'm sure it's gonna be a good one!  My time has been getting spent on a renewed interest in trying to defeat the boss in level IV of Demon Tower (the mini game within the game Night In The Woods)
