SOYJOY Challenge 4: Much Effort, Little Effort Video
So our last SOYJOY challenge is a video/slideshow to show Much Effort, Little Effort. I decided to tell a story of two brothers Much and Little Effort with my wonderfully awful drawings that failed me my art classes in school.
Please excuse the watermark on the YouTube video. I had to use a free converter since MS Powerpoint couldn’t convert my slideshow into a video. The timing is a little off as well. Sigh, the perils of technology. If you’d like to view the original high quality version (with the right timings), download my powerpoint here.
[edit] I remade the slideshow into a video! The watermark was just not happening for me. Had to give up my lunch for this! Talk about Much Effort! T__T Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it! BTW, you can still download the original powerpoint here. [/edit]

Hahahah! I loved it! I am a little bit like “Much Effort” but when I really think about it what I am eating is not a lot, just too late in the day! But I loved your video and the music! Good music really makes it amazing.

It’s kinda too fast to read o_O

@Sweet Baby Girl: Haha, yes the video is. The video converter somehow changed the speed of my slideshow. Anyway, I manually remade the slides into a video. Hope it’s easier to read now.

Very cute video. It is also a good comparison. I am reminded of some animes with characters that had a knack for doing the same…lol.
Ivy • June 30th, 2009
@Nile: Thanks, girl! Yeah, I was trying to mimic some of the anime characters’ expressions since I watch so much anime. LOL! Too bad I don’t have the skill to draw ‘em like the pros. T__T
