In my ongoing quest to learn the fundamentals of computer animation even when I'm away from the computer, I have downloaded and tried an app called Movie Maker 3D on my phone, not to be confused with Windows 3D Movie Maker (though it seems to have the same straightforward, beginner-friendly design philosophy as that legendary '90's Windows software). By using pre-made assets, I can make quick little cartoons whenever I'm bored on my phone during a break.

Naturally, I don't feel this type of content is appropriate for Newground's "quality over quantity" Movie Portal (or at least, the website doesn't have the bandwidth for the type of animation projects that can be finished in less than 6 months per project), but I think it would make for some good filler content on my YouTube channel to assure my audience there that I'm not dead between major animation uploads, as well as maybe get a bit more experimental with ideas in ways I can't really do with months/years-long animation projects.

You can see one of the cartoons I cobbled together in Movie Maker 3D, "Wolf Chase Beaver and Die," here:

Of course, YouTube Shorts is still a screwy alternative to TikTok and I can't embed YT Shorts the same way I can embed literally every other type of YouTube video. Blame Google as usual for making you go through the extra effort of clicking on the link and opening a new tab to YouTube, not me.
