Hello Newgrounders!

Madness Day 2011 Results
So the results are in and Madness Heist finished 3RD! I am more than pleased about this.

All props go to my wonderful cast, RicePirate, Motley-Fool, Apatheria, and Shock-Dingo. And of course, my brother MrRedstone for scoring the whole thing.

Madness Heist Upcoming Merchandise

Special Edition DVD:

To show my appreciation to this community and anyone who enjoyed the movie, I am putting together a DVD with a shit-load of special features (audio commentary, cast/crew interviews, bonus trailers, art gallery, etc.). I'm still waiting on some interview testimonials from the cast, so I'll post more on that in my next post. If anyone wants one, let me know through the comments on this post or through PM so I know how many I have to put together when it's finished.

Poster by TheShadling:

Shadman put together a SUPER BADASS poster for the movie. It will not only be the DVD cover art, but the poster art as well. During last week's broadcast, Tom took a look at it and I'm fairly confident he liked it. Now, I can't sell these off to you guys because it would be ultra-expensive, so CONVINCE TOM to put it in the store! If you really want one, that is. If not, that's cool too XD.

Moving Forward

I mentioned in a post a while back that I was going to "retire" after the completion of this movie. Due to the great reception of Madness Heist and all the support of the NG community, I am retracting this statement. Fuck retiring. With pretty much everyone on this sight being so awesome and welcoming (especially RicePirate), I feel I owe you guys more.

On that note, I have a few "potential" projects that I'm thinking of developing and trying to decide which to do first...

Madness Heist Sequel
I've been against this from the beginning. I'm not a big fan of doing sequels, but I've gotten alot of requests to do one. As against it as I was, I have come up with a rough concept that I think could work. It would be sort of a prequel/sequel, meaning some of it would take place after Madness Heist and a majority of it before. It would dive into the backgrounds of Red, Carl, Summers, and Evans' rise to power. This would be a MUCH bigger project so I'm not even thinking about it right now. If anything, it would be for MD 2013. But who knows.

Sci-Fi Project
This one I'd be more up for. My past few movies have been in the crime/action/drama genre and I really want to branch out and switch it up by taking on a new genre. This would challenge me to really improve my visuals. Plus I want to try maybe collaborating with another artist. I think that would be a fun experience.

Collaborating/Producing?
This would be a bit more immediate. I really want to do my part for the NG community and think it would be fun to help out with certain projects of artists I respect. I'd love to write some stuff for people/animate/collaborate/whatever. I also love "promoting" stuff so I'd love to produce and help get people's movies out there by making trailers and what not.

ANYWAY, Holy Christ this is a long post. I need to wrap it up here. I'll end by expressing how much appreciation I have for the NG community (artists/viewers alike) and thank you all for being the reason I do this stuff and helping me continue to grow as an animator. THANK YOU.

P.S. Check out the sweet poster below and get Tom to put it in the store!

Thanks for the update & nice pic to :) Have a nice day!

Yours was the only movie I watched all the way through. lol!! Really great job!! ...and sweet poster! :D

Are you sure you could make money legally off a DVD featuring Madness? I feel like there's a copyright violation somewhere in there.

It's all original artwork/voices/and music so I'd assume there wouldn't be a problem. I don't think anyone's gonna make a big fuss about someone selling dvds for 5-10 bucks. But who knows.

And if it were an issue, I'd just send them out for free. The money's not a big thing for me.

Congratulations!
I'll be looking forward to the DVD Release!

the story is yours but you couldnt sell dvds anymore than if someone did a drama about mickey mouse. Though Im sure you can krinkels could work something out.

congrats on the win.

Yeah, thats a good point. I don't have a problem just giving them out for free, but I should talk to Krinkels. Didn't really think about it past making them. Just wanted to give them out as a token of appreciation.

Gah, shit! The interview! I'll try for this weekend :D

Yeaaaah!!!!

seriously - congrats man - the project was awesome and really deserved the recognition it got, if not more! - i wouldnt have been suprised to see you getting first!
as a fellow dramatic/cinematic storyteller, i really appreciate what you put together

hopefully we can collab on something at somepoint!

That would be awesome. I'd love to assemble a team of kick-ass animators for an epic sci-fi. If I do, you're on the list.

oh and one more thing hehehhe - - about what mindchamber brought up - - thats why i cast my vote for you going for the sci fi project instead of the heist trailer - -all your own story and stuff !

Glad to hear you're gonna stick around and do more stuff!

Fuck retiring, indeed.

I need to show Douglas Walker this film. No, I don't want him to do a Nostalgia Critic review of it, I just wish he had seen this movie. BTW, something I didn't mention in my review, It's too short. If you make a sequel, make it longer.

Congrats MOC! Madness Heist was amazing. It was like going to the cinema and watch a movie for free, the twist is that you still got paid. ;)
Hope to see more stuff from you in the future.

Hey thanks man! Madness Ascend was one of the main Madness movies that inspired me to do this one so it means alot coming from an established artist like yourself ;)

your movies are amazing, best directed shorts on Newgrounds. Keep it up, looking forward to the sci-fi project. A sequel to heist seems sub-optimal, it works perfectly as a stand alone.

My thoughts exactly. I've always been against doing one at the risk of it cheapening the experience of the original.

In my opinion, Madness Heist should have gotten first place. It's the best flash movie I've seen in a long time. A prequel could be cool, and I think you could make a great sci-fi. When's the DVD coming out?

Working on it. There have been a few setbacks. Between finances and software issues, I'm hoping to have it done by next month.
