What Is Inanimate Insanity? Inanimate Insanity is an animated series on youtube created by Adam Katz about a bunch of 18 inanimate objects competing to win a prize of one million dollars. When the show began in 2011 it didn't get hat much attention and the early episodes of the show, to quote one of the animators ,Taylor Grodin "awful". But as the show went on the episodes have gotten much better over the years and i have grew much more of a fan of the series. On December 23, 2016, the eleventh episode of the second season was released. and with a rich story, and complex character design, I've decided to talk about the episode.

Umm... Hi! Welcome to my animation blog. My name is Nate and I'm an animator on YouTube. Here I will be discussing different types of animation, my "strategies" in animation and I will frequently be asking you guys for youtube animation ideas! Many of my subscribers know that I have been very inactive due to school work and losing motivation. But lately I have been animating more and more. I started animation back in 2014. I started with "object animation" for those of you that don't know, object animation is a very basic and unoriginal style of puppet animation that was created by Michael and Cary huang. It's basically drawing an inanimate object and giving it stick figure limbs. I'm not proud of my old animations but everybody has to start somewhere. Fast forward 2 years and now I have branched off into the world of complex animation. I will be sure to link all of my videos and give updates on all of my latest projects. But until then, Here's
