Bert

Being a pivot animator, I obviously have my influences and peers, Bert is one of a few that have really struck a chord with not only myself, but pretty much every other pivot animator out there.

”Alright guys. it’s official, as of Sat 10th of May at 15:49 GMT, i’m giving up pivot completely.

i might animate again in it, if peter ever makes a new version. the reason im quitting is stated thus: pivot has stayed the same for too long. i’ve had this conversation with countless people on msn which has only served to reaffirm my lack of interest in animating in pivot any more.
making something in pivot thats ‘ground breaking’ now, takes far too much time for far too little gain, whereas programs like flash and photoshop offer new challenges, at least to me.

long story short: pivot is gay lol

so anyway, here’s a little taste of what i’m working on with flash and ps at the moment.

photoshop: Click here

flash: Click here

I’ll also be doing writing as well, but i won’t show you guys that because its rather vociferous.”

From Bert,

As we all know Bert is an awesome animator, and to me he is a great person to chat to, his animation will be missed, and so will his comments on others.

I have to be careful what i say, because no dount he will read this, and have a chat to me about it, but I don’t care, he set the bar high in pivot animating, and even though he has now departed from the practise, that bar will remain a goal to countless many that wish to become name in pivot animation.

I personally wish him well in whatevere he undertakes next, and know that he will do fantastically.
