Hello NGs,

I feel like it's been forever since my last post. I was trying to wait until I had more news on the Sci-Fi project, but I've got other stuff to discuss first.

YouTube Channel

Check it out here.

Everyone's doing it! Don't you want to be cool like them?! I've had a youtube channel for a while, but never really bothered to do anything with it until now. This is mainly because I SUCK at exporting .fla projects as video. No matter how I do it, I can't get it to look as clear and gorgeous as some others can.

Regardless, working with what I have, I put Madness Heist up in what seems to be fairly decent quality. But I honestly think it could look alot better. You be the judge.

Watch Madness Heist on Youtube.

Moving on...

Sci-Fi Project

I've decided to do a Sci-Fi for my latest project. I wish I could say I look forward to it. In a sense I do, but there has to be a SHITLOAD of prep work if I'm going to do it right. It's difficult to solidify a sci-fi story for a flash without it turning into some kind of series. I like the idea of just having ONE thing for people to see, like a movie, not a TV series.

However, every idea I have for this thing equates to at least 20-30 minutes in runtime, which we all know flash seizures over. SO, my idea is this...

I'm thinking of doing some kind of "prologue" to the movie to sort of practice my FBF skills. I really want to improve my art/animation quality for this one. Before I can do that, I've gotta invest in a Wacom Cintiq. The Bamboo just isn't cutting it anymore.

Finally, the idea is to involve other animators in the project. In what way? I'm not sure yet. Depends who actually wants to be involved and how much work they want to put into it. In any case, this thing has to be a collaborative work.

In my next post, I'll put up some concept art I've been working on. Until then!
