Aw man, late again. Better late then never? Maaaaaybe...?
So... whats up you ask? What do you mean you dont want to know? Well im going to tell you anyway, because thats the kind of guy I am.
Its time for an animation extravaganza! First up we have my loopdeloop for this month was "Play". I originally wanted to have my Nimbin character Max pick up a ball and throw it so hard it travelled around the world and smacked him in the back of the head. After some experiments it wasn't really working out, so after watching BRODYQUEST
as I do at least once a month when I need inspiration, I decided to go back to an older idea, albeit making it much simpler, that being GERKINQUEST. As BRODYQUEST parodies were quite big a couple of years ago when I had the idea. As a result of that, we now have GERKINQUEST, as we watch Gerkinman travel the world while paying attention to little else aside from his Gameboy.
Next up we have 4 HD rereleases. What a busy couple of weeks it has been.
The second episode of Nimbin is finally up. Made in 2004 this was the last episode animated by me before Mark Schnieder took over and made it look a billion times better then I ever could. I touched up the backgrounds and modified the audio quite a great deal but all the original animation, or the little animation there is rather, remains.
Then we have King Dodongo. This short was originally made for a flash collaboration in 2004 with numerous other animators from Newgrounds. This was also one of the first full shorts I had done with my tablet, which at the time was a Wacom Graphire 3. Being in my teens at the time I was obsessed with The Legend of Zelda and this was not the first nor the last time that Link or would feature in my flash animations. Due to the loss of the original sound files the audio has been redone from scratch.
Also from 2004 was this short flash, which was originally supposed to be the rebirth of the Bricks Are Fun series, but it never really took off and so I left it. Now retitled "How to sound like a chicken", this version of the animation has a slightly updated background and the sound has been completely reworked.
Lastly we have my segment from another collaboration with different animators from Newgrounds. This time from 2009. The idea of the flash was to animate something, each artists first frame of the animation would be based off the last frame of the artist that animated before them. This animation, later named "Mind" had never been released online until now. I went in and cleaned up... or dirtied up the backgrounds might be more appropriate. The animation and audio has been left untouched.
My final piece of animation goodness isn't so much a piece of animation as it is a piece of concept art for an animated film I would like to make next year. This is not the final piece, I have since modified the text layout and fixed some typos. More on this project as it comes.
As far as my personal life, im going to be handing in an application form for a new apartment tomorrow morning, before going to TAFE and putting my recently film project "Overcome" onto a tape to be handed in tomorrow. Come to think of it the final script for Wanker will be read out in scriptwriting class tomorrow, and ill be presenting the DVD slip case above in multimedia. Then Tuesday "Overcome" will be getting screened and that afternoon my redubbed Spiderman clip gets screened in sound design class... before I head off to this months loopdeloop. Oh man... hectic week...
