Hey everyone! My names Austin. known by "speeder99123" I'm 18 living in California.

I got interested in sfm from doing stick figure and later gmod animations many years ago. I then worked with the leaked sfm from the old team fortress 2 beta before it was officially released. It was extremely fickle and crashed a whole lot, but I loved the tool set so much i stuck with it. Needless to say I was first in line when the official thing was announced.

I have played around with many 3d programs from blender, maya, 3dsmax and motionbuilder over the years. However I wouldn't say i'm well versed in any of them.

Most of the things I create I scrap before I ever upload them, but I have made many things for both myself and collaborating with others. My biggest creation is called "penance." I worked on it for just over 2 years with many people, including some from osfm. I was the lead animator and gave it the final push to completion.

My most recent video I got contracted from another youtube channel to do. not my best work but I had just a month to get it done.

I saw that winglet had also posted here, His creations are a major inspiraton for me from sfm I hope one day that I can be half as good an animator, cinematographer and director as him.
And I have to thank kitty0706 (R.I.P) and Dasboschitt for getting me into gmod animations years ago.

Biggest problem I still have Is animation timings, and going from a block to spline pass while making it look organic. These are the biggest things I wish to improve on.

I'm joining to get some feedback and critique from fellow animators, learn and colaberate with other members, so feel free to hit me up on steam if you want to chat :)
