WANTED: Professional Animator (aka: FUCK MY LIFE!)

Journal Entry: Tue Jul 29, 2008, 3:04 PM

^{Yes, I am looking for a professional animator. My family is starting a pet sitting business and we need something to go on the front page of our website (an animated logo, if you will). I came up with the first bit, but my mother had an idea for the animation part. Here's the image you will be working with:

Autumnwood Pet Care is (c) to my family. NO STICKY PAWS!

The goal is to get this done by next Monday. My mother thinks too much of my animation skills (while I can do simple things like tail wags and blinking, panting sometimes, I can't do what she wants). What we want done isn't something extremely simple, although I probably could do it if I had more time than what my mother set me to. Here's what we're looking for:

Pet silhouettes - all the animated animals will be silhouettes.

Part 1: A dog (preferably a German Shepherd, because of the distinct shape) comes up from the left side (walking up the paws like stairs) and sits on top of 'Autumnwood' and freezes.

Part 2: After the dog freezes, a cat comes up the right side and either rubs against the dog or walks around it (in that typical cat affection gesture) and sits beside the dog and freezes.

Part 3: A bird flies in from the top (parrot, parakeet, cockatoo, whatever) and freezes in midair somewhere above the dog's head.

Part 4: A rodent (ferret, gerbil, or hamster) and a reptile (snake, lizard) comes from behind one of the red pawprints and freezes in an empty space next to the cat.

So it will essentially end up looking something like this (except in realistic silhouettes. Pardon my messy 5-second scribbles, I'm lazy right now.):

Now, I'm sure you're wondering 'what am I going to get out of it'. Well, I can pay you in USD (via Paypal) or you can get up to four customs from EVERY one of my future art sales. I'm not planning on leaving FP for a good long while, so you have my word on that. If you think you're up for the challenge (of finishing it in six days) then post 'andromeda strain' somewhere in your reply to this message. Thank you very much.

Please...? If this doesn't get done then we won't be able to start the business and it will start a chain of events that I don't want to happen. Right now we're just waiting for the eviction notice to show up on our front door. It should happen any day now and we have no place to go, and we hardly have any money to buy food every week as it is. I don't want to lose everything I have again. Please, anyone...if only for the sake of my family.

My mom works at $10 an hour, and about 3/4 of that money goes to paying the bills right now. I work for $8 an hour on weekends and that's not even enough to buy groceries. We're a family of three with two cats and we're literally eating every three days because of this situation. All we need is to get this thing up and running before Monday and get ten clients and we'll be making $3k a month.

I'm tired of constantly moving and losing all my pets. I'm tired of living in shelters every few years. I'm tired of LIVING in our friggin' CAR when we can't find any other place to go. Honestly, my family would be considered poor in a third world country, and we live in America folks. That's saying something! I'm going to be eighteen this year, and we move on an average of three times a year and have been for my entire life. I'm going to do the math for you, I have moved (literally) fifty-one times. I'm becoming emotionally unstable, depressed, and perhaps even a bit suicidal. The only thing keeping me going is my family because they need me!

Don't tell me I should see a psychiatrist or something because obviously we can't afford it or I would have done something about it already! I'm sick and tired of crying myself to sleep every single friggin' night. I'm tired of being so hungry every day that I feel like I'm going to throw up. I'm tired of passing out every other day because I'm hypoglycemic and anemic. I'm tired of just living!

This business is really important to me now. I can't let this dream die or we'll be living like this forever. Nobody will help us, no matter who we ask. Is it too much to ask to live a decent life? To not be pulling through every day by the skin of our teeth? I'm sorry to be ranting about this now, but seriously I'm going crazy. I look at my friends, even the poor ones and they have better lives than I do. I own NOTHING except for my fish, cats, and this computer. My family owns NOTHING except for our pets, clothes, car, and the two computers that our very nice roommate gave to us. THAT'S ALL WE HAVE!

I'm begging you. Please...I know it may take a while for someone to be interested, but I don't have time...}
