I wasn't sure what to do as the sun came crashing into the Earth. I'm always at a loss when it comes to awkward moments like that. I guess in the end there really was only one thing to do, and I did it.

Explanation below:

I just finished my part in Luis' upcoming Pass My Flash 2. Observe a screenshot below.

Free virtua-cheese for who can guess where my post title is from!

Somedays I finish a project. Prepare to see the whole compilation in the portal soon.

Allright everybody, it's challenge time. Who's with me? WHO I SAY, WHO?

Alright, here's how it is, so listen up muthafuckas.
JimmySavage , myself, and Ben-Coombs have challenged ourselves to toss together a 30/40 second clip each. At the end of it, that is, this Friday, we're going to assemble the clips into Flash as one file. pick out a song we find suits the product and then submit it.

Here's where you, the readers, come in. I want you guys to post here if you're interested and let me know you're going to join in. Remember tis 30 seconds by Friday. I'll of course have to look at your work, and if I judge it suitable, then sure I'll toss it into the final product. You'll of course be co-authored for your work. The final assembled product will probably hit the portal on Monday. I would say Tuesday, but went don't want to stop on Christmas' toes. I can't speak for the other guys, but I will certainly work a bit of the ol' Holiday cheer into this.

The specs:

Length: 30 seconds, as previously mentioned

Dimensions: 650x300

Framerate: 25fps

BG Colour: White, though you can of course draw on top of it.

If you're interested, but not sure, dont hestiate to ask questions.

Here you go, my part so far.

O.O

Ahaha! It's been more or less done for ages now. We've just been fine tuning. God this thing gave such horrible nightmares. So many problems. SO MANY PROBLEMS JESUS CHRIST!

Anyway, it's out now. CHECK IT OUT SUCKAS! It's really satisfying to see it there in the portal despite it have been the cause of yet another drop down a rung in my sanity ladder.

Ah well. ENJOY AND REVIEW IT.

It's called Danger, Will Robinson, Danger. It's evil. Only listen to it if you're evil too.

COMMENT BITCHES!

I met this girl at a church in Dortmund. She's an architect and an amateur animator. She's really funny and has such a unique sense of humour. I also love her style alot. Her toons won't be for everyone mind you. I reccomend givnig her a look if you can. It's awesome stuff.

She's been doing traditional animation for years but just got started in Flash a few months ago. I can't wait to see where she goes. I see big things in the future, thats for sure. Her name is Ann Jaeger, she's 23, and she's single boys! I'd say she's fairly cute too, in her own way.

On a personal note, I'm slowling production on my shorts thing. I just can't get one done everysingle day. Too lazy, and I'm preparing my portfolio to apply to some schools in animation. All the shorts will be done withing a 24 hour time period though. So rest assured with that in mind.

I've completed two shorts so far. One is a Superman spoof, the other is a sort of Bair Witch/Handicam spoof.

Another NGer has contributed an idea for the collection. VPComics, a fellow Canadian joins the ranks of NG members who are guest-writing. If you've got an idea send it my way! Don't worry, I'll credit you, haha.

Ryan Carell, signing out.

So as it turns out there was an abundance of difficulty to be had last minute with the collab. It's more or less done now, as of today, the day AFTER Halloween, but it looks pretty shite, to tell the truth.

So I've passed the .fla on the Lavalle, who will be polishing this.

My own cartoon died when my joy over Don't Stop was killed. It ended up looking pretty bad anyway, so oh well to that,

HOWEVER! Starting today, for the next 20-30 days, I'm going to animate a 30 second short to a random silly voice clip, then at the end of it all, I'll compile them into one massive collection and submit that. It's one part Egoraptor tribute, one part quick animation practice, and two parts voice acting showcase.

There are a few guest writers who might contribute a little skit or two. One such genius is our beloved Nathan Malone a.k.a
ZekeySpaceyLizard!

I'll post some clips here. Maybe a full couple clips, just to build up the hype.

That is all. Get back to work.

Allright. I wrote a cartoon called Little Sister for halloween. It, like my other submissions, is fairly incoherent. However, that cartoon will not be released because of the fact that a collab I organized at Animation Forum ran a little long.

So I'm doing a random collection of violent/amusingly dark images and animations called The Warmest Halloween. It's set to the piece of music Shattered Prokofiev by ZekeySpaceLizard and it should prove to be an interesting and very frame-by-frame laden piece of work.

Next is the Animation Forum collab I mentioned. It's set to a rap about zombies called Don't Stop. The collab will be release as Zombies Don't Stop. The song is by Lavalle Lee and is pretty cool, considering I'm not a rap fan. It features animations by myself, Ben Coombs, pixelmark, Lavalle himself, and a fella who goes by SAB0TAGE. Look out for that. Lot's of style infused into it.

Finally, I'm helping out here and there with Zwickel's Halloween hopeful, Deadnimated SE. It looks really slick fellas, so keep and eye out for it! Great visuals.

That's about it. Here are some screenies from my projects.

Right well my movie's out there floating around the collection all over right now. Madness Day was a bit of a roller-coaster ride for my flick, Madness Antecedent. It debuted with a really nice score of 3.82 then climbed all the way up to 3.89 and was holding steady. It dropped back to 3.82 after it bit. Then things got awesome, jus the best, and it hit the Front Page. I was ecstatic. Jus thrilled. The view and votes just kept climbing and I was grinning like an idiot. Then though the score began to plummet. Decrease astronomically. In an hour or so it had gone from 3.82 to 3.58. I'll admit, though it's dumb, that I was really angry and blammed everyone on NG for this. Like they're idiots or something, and not the quality of my work. I even found myself thinking some group mass down-voted it, though I don't know why. I guess since the reviews, save for 1, were so great that I assumed someone who voted low like that without reviewing must be doing it for a lame reason.

Anyway, since then I've smartened up, and I'm throwing myself into a few Halloween projects. Hopefully I can really get my shit toegther to score some points!
