YYay!
I find myself that the greatest joy i have is in the brainstorming and animatic process, mainly cause those phases are fast and really open minded by default and so its easier to loosen up and get excited about it. When you are down in the trenches, its tough to stay motivated and chip away till the finish line. Havent read dirtshake's link yet but i will do so right now, im always intruiged at the concept of collaboration. Sometimes that doesnt necessarily involve literally sharing the project with someone. I've started to find that its cool to work with skype open while someone else is working on their shit. It might not even be related but just the idea of talkin to someone about animation/games while you are working keeps me plugging away. Being able to say hey take a look at this real quick and tell me what you think, gives you a chance for that on the fly feedback. Which is kinda cool.
I agree whole-heartedly. I'm the same way too when nobody else is around, I talk to people like my VA's and musicians on AIM and Skype while I animate. Also, yeah pre-production's where all that anime-style blind ambition starts at. All the ideas are rushing by and you're grabbing whatever looks pretty, then you put it together it and it gets really hard. I'm starting to think that a small idea is the best way to start, at least on a solo project anyway.
Yeah when everyone's in a room together it's soooo much easier to work on stuff. I have so much more motivation when I'm in a room with friends or whatever working on similar but different things together.
Yup, I don't know why. Showing off maybeh? :P
i have to say, i agree with everything luis said in his response. everything. not kidding here.
Nobody paid for all that shit
Pystarr? Jystarr? Hmm what does that say in the top corner? lol.
Great scene. I wish I can get someone to record Spiral's lines for u...
You're seeing shit
if you need a deep white man voice.. give me a holler. lol I love your animations!
lol I probably will
The only thing that really keeps me going is the light at the end of the tunnel. After re-watching the incremental progress of a movie for the 50th time, sitting through 5 minutes of something I've already seen, it gets pretty exhausting. Then, flash fucks up, and it takes days to figure out what's wrong. Or you have to rape your mind to figure out how to actually piece together a scene the way you want. I don't know how anyone ever finishes a movie when I think about it.
But once it's finally finished, and you get to share something that you created from nothing, that's where the joy is at. Then you look back on the time you spent creating it, and its as if it was finished all along, and you didn't spend months meticulously toiling over a timeline and key frames.
God, do I feel you. Ugh... I'm too impatient though I need to work with shorter projects.
animating while hungover = shittiest day ever. haha
I've tried it, it ain't that bad, it's just...breathing...that makes it worse X_x
You should reach Sapphire. Quite possibly the only black female on Newgrounds ever, and awesome voice-type actress!

Damn, she's really good, I think I will hit her up.
She's not the only one, there's Afrogirl too, but she's already playing Kiara :P

Two points with one e-stone. I think working with other people is a great way to get motivation up and it doesn't even have to be face to face. This animation was finished in about a month. Now, I was going for completely unrelated segments, but you could also divy a project up into background art, keyframing, colouring, etc. for a coherent animation style. Just keeping contact with other people who are working on the same project can keep you moving along. Second stone: my name is Joel and I do all kinds of voices too, the vocals of Crazy Dave were all me. If you need anything I'd be glad to help.
And by "if you need anything" I mean I'll send you my old-black-man recording tonight :D
I'm up for it.
Looks good, but don't tell me that the graphics for the entire thing. I love your movies, but this picture seems like it needs some more detal and....preportional values.
I change the shading detail dependent on the amount of frame-by-frame in the shot. This particular shot is full-fBf, so putting a TON of detail into this 3 seconds like in a talking shot is just about pointless. Good question though.

Thanks for the plug. And I LOVE that scene where she is getting dragged....except for the audio...I think my ears bleed.... O_O
Can't wait to see the finished product!
