Heh. I remember Pivot.

Oh, yes.

I remember...

REAL pros used Microsoft Powerpoint to make stick figure animation.

YES. That was my entire middle school life

Hey everyone. I'm Mark Palmer, 18 years old, and from Adelaide, Australia.

I tried Gmod a few years ago and found it too tedious. After the 2012 Saxxy awards I got into SFM and have been hooked ever since.

No animation experience outside SFM. However, I've had a decent amount of experience in film making in general.

I've made a decent amount of videos over the past year: https://www.youtube.com/user/tf2thewinglet
I'm not particularly fond of any of them except the more recent ones: Zero to Hero (a collab), Burning Through Space, Live and Let Spy.

Pretty much anything from Pixar or Disney really motivates me, in a sort of distant, ambitious way. The people who really inspired me to get better at SFM were Callegos and Nonamesleft. More recently, a SFMer called Jesse Baumgartener has been a big scource of inspiration.

Honestly, I want to be a little bit of everything. An animator, a director, a cinematographer, character design, lighting, writing... But I want to mostly stick with good old 3D character animation for films.

I mainly want to use OSFM Animator Challenges to help me find and meet other animators, as I haven't been very good at that so far. I got the feeling OSFM had a lot of very inexperienced animators, so it's good to have a smaller group for people who are a little more serious. I would love to use this group as an opportunity to collaborate with other SFMers, and hopefully work on some bigger projects together eventually.
