Well, happy 5th anniversary to this crappy little animation that started the channel. Now that I've taken some classes on animation, including a current one where I'm learning the animation pipeline, I wonder if this could use a remake.

For those who have not seen the announcement I made about a couple weeks ago, after almost 5 years of being known as Sam the Man Productions, I have changed my alias to Samma Ray.

I'm gonna try to get more videos done this year than I did last year. I've gotta try and utilize more spare time to work on them while I'm busy with this new semester of college. Last semester was pretty stressful with some huge essays that I had to write for one class. I don't know if I'll do a video talking about the semester like I did with the previous 2 semesters, but I might share some of the animations that I made in the Stop-Motion Animation course. For anyone wondering what I'm taking this semester, I'm taking a class about the science of cooking, which is just another lame general class. For my major, I'm taking classes on 16mm production, and animation studio work. I'll also be taking a class that will focus on developing my future career. I'm hoping that the Animation Studio course will be an opportunity to further develop my skills in 3D animation and 3D modeling (specifically character modeling). I am also considering doing an animation internship over the summer as well.

I do have some YTPs in the works. As I mentioned last summer, I am remaking a Finding Nemo YTP that I made back in 2019. I've still got a lot to finish there, but I've at least started. Since Steamed Hams appears to be a relevant meme again, I may make a YTP of that. I've also begun work on a Lego Movie YTP and will aim to get that done in time for the release of The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Thanks for reading this. Have a great day.
