Black Ops 2

Why am I writing about Black Ops 2? I’m not…well kinda. I watched the Black Ops 2 trailer and was inspired to make a short animation about it. However, the reason why I am writing a post about it is because I should address the other billion animations I am working on. So I’ll just break it down in order of release.

Black Ops 2

The script is about a page long. There isn’t anything special about this animation. It just has a stupid joke that I think is funny. So I’m going to animate it.

Mass Effect 3

I’ve been talking about this since the end of March. I’m slowly working on it. It has just gone through several rewrites, character designs, and recordings. I’m satisfied with what I have now and am currently halfway through the production of the animation. It will be finished. Don’t worry.

Pokemon

This isn’t another Pokemon versus animation. I won’t go into detail about it, but the script has been written and the background art is drawn. Just need to finish recording lines and then work on drawing the characters in Flash. The animation will have 3 different versions. Red version on Machinima, Yellow on Youtube, and Blue on Newgrounds. The difference between the versions aren’t dramatic. The main character and some of the dialogue will differ from version to version. Also the “punchline” of the animation will change as well, which is hopefully the factor that will get people to watch the other two versions.

Minecraft

The script has been written and it isn’t crazy ridiculous like my previous Minecraft animation, Creeperphilia. I put some effort into making this script make sense. Also the main character has been fully drawn. I will do a  “Making of” video similar to my Behind the Scenes - Creeperphilia video. I may make it episodic. I always wanted to make Minecraft videos. :D

That’s it! I am done writing. I don’t have any release dates. Finals are coming up so I’ll probably be slacking off and using that as an excuse to not animate. We’ll see.

Lazy

I drew some sort of bat

But that’s not the reason why I am posting. The ME3 animation is coming along very slowly and making it fully FBF was a bad idea considering it’s my first. So I decided not to make it fully FBF so I could get it done and over with. Now back to Dark Souls.

Much Love XOXOXO

Also I’m going to start posting art so yeah…that’s something.

Machinima

I honestly don’t know how to go about writing this. So I’m just going to write and hope that it will make some sense. So in case you haven’t heard. I’ll be making animations for Machinima. This is a really awesome opportunity for me to get my work out there…and make money.

The first animation I made for Machinima is a remake of my 2009 animation, Magikarp vs Metapod. I decided to remake my Pokemon animation because it has been my most popular video, it’s simple, and easy to animate. I wanted to do this so I could get a feel as to how the Machinima audience works and such. So far Magikarp vs Metapod is doing pretty well despite the vocal minority of haters in the comments. However, Magikarp vs Metapod is not a representation of the content I’ll be producing for Machinima in the future.

So what does this future hold? Well, first off I plan to get off my addiction to create series. When I first started animating, my goal was to never make a series because I’ll end up animating the same thing over and over with no noticeable improvement in my animation. Obviously, that’s partially true, but I plan to change that. My goal for Machinima is to submit quality shorts that are well produced. I cannot continue to do the same “shit.” I’ve been doing for years. I need take a serious look at how I write scripts, voice-act, and animate.

This is why I have scrapped all my future projects so I could focus on a single new project that meets a new criteria I have made for myself. Yes, I should have done this sooner, but now that I get paid for making animations. I’m starting to realize that I can’t continue to poorly write, animate, etc… So expect quality “shit” from me soon.

Lastly, I just want to point out. I’m not ditching Newgrounds. I will be posting less animations on Newgrounds as a result of making animations for Machinima, but Newgrounds is the reason why I started animating. So leaving Newgrounds will never be an option.

I’m excited to see how the future will unfold as I continue to animate for Machinima. Also sorry bout this giant wall of text.

Now go watch Magikarp vs Metapod on Machinima.

Minecraft Series Delayed!

An awesome animation opportunity has sprung up and I’ll be focusing most of my time on that. So I will delay the Minecraft Series until I “eventually” get to it. I’ll talk about this opportunity once I’ve done some animation work, but for now I’ll keep it a secret. :D
