The following is about I made a reply to an animation specific forum (xsibase.com) and this is my thoughts related to the animation.
====================================================
Thank you Simon and Eric, although the critics are not a positive one.
Yes it is a huge task that I was never expected for one person to handle all tasks. It may be a really silly idea to take such project as I must expect a lot of critics and comments. Well, for me at the beginning I just have a good model that is able to animate, and I have a good idea, that how to extract the dialogues from an episode and turn it to a monologue, that it can be a complete story for animation.
The reason of the one week delayed announcement is that I was in depression. I really feel that it is a kind of hurting myself because as your guys said it is the most difficult task to handle human motions. That means that will be a lot of weakness in the animation will be shown, and from the beginning to the end I just work on my own. (yea, I think if it is a toony design then I should have more flexiblity or more easier to hide those weakness)
What I think is everything is started from good causes, I have a good idea and just I would like to execute it and I have it finished (I do it twice). Of course I would like to have my personal goal like getting a job in animation because of this or having more exposure to the public. But I would like to say for the nature of the animation, it is about entertaining people. If I present this animation to the people who are working in the animation field, well of course I will have comments that is really concentrate on animation principles and some critiques will be really harsh (here at xsibase.com I feel more comfortable about the comments that I have because your guys are really understand about what I am doing is really difficult to do). From the public review well I think generally they like my animation, and may be because they have another POV and ways of appreciation. At least, they know that I am able to deliver or know about I am doing an animation of Dr House, or I didn't ruin the Dr house character or Mr Hugh Laurie in the animation..
Well I think I have finished the animation project. And I think about I will not work more about the animation. At least I will not continueously to work on that for a year to get it perfectly done because it is not economy (why not doing mocap for that?) May be after a year or two when I review of this animation, I may think "How silly of me at that time, how immature about my animation skills and I will laugh out loud".
