Very inspiring; It's great to see how you can accomplish so much. Yoda's screen test cracked me up. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this (on top of creating talkbot.tv episodes everyday!)

Yeah that crazytalk software is really cool i'd love to try it for some animation, just a shame they don't make it for mac as i don't have parallels installed. I like the idea of putting limits on yourself, i think limits are what make us think more creatively, after-all look how popular twitter is with it's solely 140 character allowance. I'd like to start thinking in that sort of way and perhaps i'd create some more video if i didn't think that i could make absolutely anything i wanted at that time. Great Post!

I've been wondering about it all. That mouth movement program is great. The whole routine is great. When you first mentioned doing it daily, I thought you were insane. Seems to me that self-discipline must be a key component in success - to stop yourself getting carried away with all the toys? I think I'd end up fiddling with needless bits of animation for hours and hours. Thanks so much for making and posting this. I’ve been wondering about it all. That mouth movement program is great.
