Snowplow Man

  In lieu of all the snow that has been hammering away in the North, I felt like making this. The driver of a snowplow is working away in the late hours of the night fighting a loosing battle. He does his job to keep the roads clear for the morning, and more is falling than he can keep up with. Its the same every time, and has just turned into "another day of work." 

  It started out as a sketch and animating it was a thought from the beginning. Getting it out of SAI and into Flash was not something I had done before, so a lot of thought before I even got to sketching had been done. I made the best use of my layers and ended up exporting things out in pieces. After I was about halfway through animating it I found out you can't scale down the final product, and what I had brought into Flash was MASSIVE. I had to go back into SAI, rescale it, and start again in Flash. That being said, this image is scaled down to 33% of it's original size, causing a good bit of artifacts to appear. Next time I'm keeping myself limited to under 1200x1200.
