Thanks Don and Dave!

This has been a big help in understanding line and flow of a character. Your use of the bobbing crown creates a fun element to the drawing.

My favorite flying head adornment was in Nimh where Auntie Shrew says "I Shall Return!" then she hops down and her hat comes falling from the sky a second later. I remember seeing that for the first time and going, "What is that?" :)

Very cool, fun drawing. I have watched it 2x's now! I assume this is the new camera set up? Looks like it works great.

wew....................the new camera setup is working very well and 4 new videos just in last 2 days!!!!....wow..!!!

[OwenWelsh]

This new camera setup is proving to be amazing. I love all these new drawing tips.

I really want to see this video, but when I click on it there is no video on the page. I'm signed in so that's not the problem. And other people are obviously watching it, so it must be something on my end.

Does anybody know why I might be experiencing this problem? :confused:
Thank you.

Seth, have you tried to delete your cookie files? Sometimes the problem comes from that. You should try and then reload the page.

From my experience with this problem, there's a few things that can inhibit the video from displaying on your screen.

1) You do not have the latest Flash player installed on your computer.
Here is the link for the latest player: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

2) You have virus or spam software installed on your computer that is blocking the video from playing. This was especially true in my case every time I tried to play videos from IMDB.com. Whenever I wanted to watch a video from imdb.com, I would disable the virus/spam software till the video was finished then simply enable the software again.

3) Try clearing your Internet cache and cookies from your computer. If all this fails to rectify the problem, another thing you could do is install a new browser on your computer. The download usually installs all the latest software you need to watch content on the web. Here's a link for Google Chrome: http://www.google.com/chrome

Hope this works out for you cause the new videos are excellent!

Seth,
I want to report that I had the same problem (just thought I needed to wait for the video to be installed on the page). Following the advice posted here I tried viewing in Google's Chrome browser and.... there it is.

Note: I wasn't having problems with any other videos just this one.

Thanks Guys! (Going to watch now!)

Edit: Great drawing and character Don.
Your tips and suggestings are starting to sink in.

nop....i think, when you download google chrom , it would ask to import your favorite from the other browser..if you click yes...then..you will find all the favorite on Google chorm also...
besides, i did not face any trouble to see the video.

If you install and use Google Chrome it doesn't mean you can't still use your other favorite browser(s). Chrome has a ways to go before its used as much as I use IE.

Installing a second browser is a small price to pay for being able to watch Don at work.

[Poulpette]

Honestly, IE is just nothing but c**p… He does what he want, uses things he's the only one who can use, doesn't respect a lot of web standards…
You should install a better browser. I don't know Google Chrome (I mean, I know it, but I've never used it, 'cause it's not available on my OS), but I know Firefox and Opera, and they're pretty good (you should consider using Firefox).

[Gabriel-Carson]
