I've done stop motion, classic animation and pixel animation before so I know how much work goes into animation but also how much fun it is. There is just something about caring for each frame that makes these forms of media special in a way that can't be found elsewhere. I particularly enjoy your sound design and can't wait to see the video on it, it was always the area I struggled with the most.
