I may have thrown this together a little too quickly, but that's what happens when you get all riled up over an idea and just can't wait to see what comes of it. I did all of the drawings in Gimp. Unfortunately, a lot of the ones in the first few minutes were drawn with a thicker pencil. Eventually I got comfortable with a skinnier one, but my hands aren't exactly all that steady, so I might have benefitted from using the straight-line tool more often. But at the same time, I didn't want to lose the sort of "hand drawn look", so I avoided it whenever possible. I did a quick playthrough of Metroid 1 and Super Metroid to get the footage for this, and ended up beating Metroid 1 in 50 minutes, a new best time for me. But that's why I'm not as well equipped as I should be at the final boss in Super Metroid. Any other footage is borrowed from Lancun's awesome SM speed run over at: www.youtube.com The character I'm depicting myself as in this video is called a Waterhand. They are creatures that protect the Earth from the Slimefoots. They've been doing it ever since summer of 1993 when my sister and I created them. I can't draw people, period. So this was pretty much my only out at the time. This is not meant to mock or demean Sequelitis in any way. I call it the Fake Sequelitis because that's pretty much what this is: a cheap knock-off. I think the script came out fairly decent, but I still know I have a lot to learn about video editing in general. Either way, hope it's not too ...
