So I reckon after Extreme Rules PPV I’m gonna take a break from competing in the WAF matches. Not that it’s a big deal, but with my schedule only getting busier I think it’s best I step away for a bit, and focus on my own content and life outside of animating. I’ll still be active here, and still active on YT, more I wanna upload and animate to the schedule that fits me and where I’m at right now. This means that whether on not I lose next PPV I’m going to relinquish the X-Division title, and Heavyweight Championship depending on the out come of ESP and my match. I’ll probably return before next year, but for now I think I need a break from competing.

Yeah, I had the dream of defending until like early January so that myself, ARW and Droopy could have the Same Old Sh*t Triple-Threat-Rematch but looks like that won't happen. Disappointed that this is how it is, but for me I think it's best at the moment. |

Hey ESP, ARW & LMS, I’ve had a substantial technical issue, related to my stop motion filming. This means that I will likely not be able to animate for at least another week or so. Obviously the due date for Extreme Rules comes in about 5 or 6 days. This means that for our match ESP, if I can submit anything it’ll be my rough first attempt, as for the handshake match, as of right now I might not even have an animation to upload. This is no ones fault but mine, and I should’ve been more organised leading up to our matches, and I apologise for this. Just wanted to let you all know before it’s too late.

I know this is random, but should I change my name? Like I made my name RAW as it matched the ring I use, I was like, hey it wouldn’t make sense if my ring said RAW and that wasn’t my name. But I know this sounds stupid, but I just realised my name is the same as WWE’s, and now I’m thinking I might change it... Do you think it’s too late now? If not, any name ideas?

But u gotta come up with a name |

Not gonna lie I kinda forgot about this thread, I'm gonna try to use it more often. Just got the camera that I'm planning to use come December. It's a Canon EOS 6D, my dad used to use it a lot, but has since not really used it, hasn't found the time or moment to as of recent. Got out a lens as well, pretty wide which will be good for close up (16-35mm), and it's part of Canon's red ring range of lens, which I don't really understand except for that they're gonna be pretty crisp and good quality. Gotta find a better tripod, as the state of my current one looks like it could tip and buckle under the weight of the camera, so as of right now I'm just testing out settings, lighting, and will hopefully be ready to change up the setup and start using the new equipment by late this year/early next year.
Just out of curiosity, for anyone who sees this, could you reply with what you use to film? (ie, camera device/setup, and software/summary of filming process)

Again, forgot about this thread. Pretty motivated atm to do matches which has been great, been happy in that respect thus far. Also, just got a tripod for the camera I'm gonna be using come December. Also got my early Christmas orders in, getting a UE Brock, Storm Collectibles Mike Tyson, Ricochet among a few other things.
Lately I've been in a really shitty mindset, in that in my head I've been dabbling and dabbling over my lack of subs. If I'm honest it's a really shitty view of YouTube, because I know the benefits of my channel and animating aren't the subs, it's been meeting all of you guys. But alas I still get to complaining in my head about it. Somethings gotta change and as of right now I can't think of anything aside from stepping away at some point. Now that I'm past that honeymoon period in which everything's new to me on YT, I feel I'm getting lost and frustrated over things that don't matter.
For now this is where I'm at just thoughts, but I'm looking forward to WAF 1 year anniversary, feels like just a few months ago we all joined.

Gonna try to update here weekly. Working on matches atm, so far pretty happy, but my animations are real fidgety atm. I injured my wrist a few weeks ago, still sore but I don't think that's to blame.
Also working on a kind of tutorial/informative video, trying to broaden my content out a bit more next year and see what gets me a wider audience. I think making these sorts of vids are good in that it gives other people a chance to learn a few things, but also myself when I do the research.
On another note, that NXT UK match was crazy, imo I prefer that kind of extreme rather than the crazy weapons and spot fest, growing to love these brawls.

So pumped up. Just taught myself a quick way to mask animations using the Adobe After Effects editor. Makes the job so easy, now I just need to find a decent enough rig.

Been just over a week. Been working on removing the unnecessary over-exaggerated movements, and from what I could tell it was working with my Doomsday Device animation, but my phone died midway through and I lost the whole thing. Normally I'd be really bummed out but I'm proud that I succeeded in gradually getting my animations more realistic. Just a shame I can't show you guys.

Well I forgot again. Pretty stressed even though I'm on holidays. Gotta finish a match in time for Christmas, and the stips are tough for our coming show. I know I say this every show, but I really feel like this is the one I lose at. The stips are tricky for me, and knowing my luck, as close as I am to having an undefeated year, things aren't gonna go my way.
In other news, I'm back on ig. Got it to work on my comp, my username is @raw_stopmotion.
