Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Not posted anything since June so here we go.

Firstly, if you have been following my posts you will know that I'm always going on about my part in the "Pretender Collab", my part has been finished for months and months, plus the collab itself has been on the go for well over a year now. Well not anymore, because I've been in contact with FlashFrog and it seems that the collab is dead. Finito. You will never get to see my part :) or the collab for that matter. At least it's nice to have some closure on it.

I am now a working man, having dabbled in catering for a few weeks at my old job, I've now landed a Sales Assistant job in Manchester Piccadily Station which is kinda neat. It's a good place to work, it has it's good and bad points, but overall I'm just happy to be off the dole and earning some wedge. However I have noticed that it is absolutely impossible to work on any animations, work full time, and still maintain a healthy social life. I'm guessing I could do any 2 out of those 3, but all 3 is neigh impossible :P

On that note, I am very excited about my upcoming animation. I am serious when I say it's gona be the best animation I've ever put up on newgrounds.

I'm undecided on a title but I'm hoping to finish/ submit within the next couple of weeks.

I am very fortunate to have the voice acting talent of ForNoReason and VoiceGirl with me on this animation. So hey there you go, semi proffeshional eh? At the moment I have all the voice parts, most of the backgrounds & characters and am just slogging through the painful process of lip sincing. That's all for the moment.

Watch this space!!

Another generic update.

To give myself a break from the woes and cycle of depression that is job hunting in this current economy, I put my nose to the screen and forced myself to do a half decent animation on Sunday. Took my about 5 hours but I'm reasonably pleased with how it turned out. Click the link in my profile or click here. I kinda impressed myself with what I can do if I really work at something :)

The Pretender Collab is STILL unfinished, although my part has been completed for a good many months. I'm wondering how long it's going to take, as it's been well over a year since it's conception. I might ask if I can take on other people's parts just so we can finish this.

Also, I'm putting alot of thought into designing/ storyboarding/ rotoscoping/ animating a proper full length animation. I'm hoping to create a music video for a track called 'Frogs on Acid'. I've always wanted to make a music video, I really enjoy watching them as a viewer, and some of my first sitings on this site were music videos. Plus it's a big goal and I think I would enjoy testing my abilites and motivation with a project like this.
This is probably my main project at the moment, although I am thinking about designing 2 websites for some arty friends of mine, it would be nice to try doing something different like that and hopefully they won't mind my playing around with ideas for them. I'll keep you posted on developments.

Other than that. .. . . . I am job hunting. It's very slow. Very depressing especially when you get no responces :P but I'm staying positive, hopefully I'll find something in the not too distant future. untill I update next time PEACE OUT

Just thought I'd do an update on some of the stuff I'm doing animationwise at the moment.

For starters, I just found out that I will be taking my final 2 graphics exams the week after next when I get back from the easter break ;P I should really get my act together and buy a sketchbook haha. If my animation for these exams are half decent I might upload them here, who knows.

Also, about a week ago the controversy surrounding sirtom93 led me and a group of other animators to make a light hearted collab about the subject. It was sort of overshadowed by the 'people republic of china' april fools joke on newgrounds that day, but it still did fairly well and got the 9th highest score of the day.

Check it out further down my profile or with this handy link, my part is last in the movie but obviously it is the best there by far :P

The Pretender Collab is still waiting on a couple of parts, and has now been in the pipeline for over a year haha! My peice has already been done for a long time but I'll let you guys know when the whole thing finally gets submitted. Hopefully it will be some time soon(ish).

Other than that, I'm alright. Have only got a couple of weeks left of college before I am officially an adult :c hopefully I'll find a job doing something I enjoy or maybe not! Anyway I'm still alive and keeping busy so it's all good. I'm currently thinking of making my first music video about frogs and dubstep hahaha. so you will probably hear from me abit later, safe inabit distinctive gangstash
maa haa mwaa

From today I can start making some decent work, I've got the tools. watch this space :=D
