Huge News about my Animations

Posted by TechFlash Oct. 5, 2007 @ 11:15 PM EDT

I finished animation for my new short finally! I had a really fun time making it, I haven't felt this way in a long time with making films. There will be a huge change with the future of my films starting with this one I finished making animation for now. I will no longer be using lip syncing techniques. I know this decision may have shocked some of you guys (sorry), but It's something I've been wanting to do for a long, long time. I started to think about it when I started making my 4 minute short, the lip syncing was really depressing to do. I never really looked forward to making a movie because I always knew I had to lip sync, the timing of the mouths was hard enough as it is. I started talking to my good friend Blak Tornado earlier today about my thoughts. He told me it'd be a good idea, and if people truly liked my films they wouldn't mind if I stopped lip syncing. This decision has given me more opportunity to make even more films. Better films. Longer films. Smoother films. And finally, I will have more fun making films. When I used to not lip sync, I was always happy to get off my ass and start animating a brand new short. But after I started using it, I never ever wanted to do any animation, it just really wasn't fun anymore. I wanted to go back to the good old days when I had the room in the movie to make more humorous jokes and dialog. Now that I won't be using lip sync anymore, I'll finally be able to include more animation and dialog in my movies. And in my favor, I will have a really fun time doing it. When I look at claymations by Knox and Blak Tornado, I think about how they never use lip syncing, but they pull off some great movies. I thought that even if I didn't do lip syncing, If I really tried I could pull of that awesome short that I've wanted to make for months. So basically what I'm trying to say, is that lip syncing will no longer be a part of my films. This next film I have prepared for release most likely tomorrow, will not have any lip syncing whatsoever, but I do think the animation is a lot smoother, it's remotely funnier, and I'm hoping that people will accept my decision and continue to at least admire my work, and the time and effort that I put into each little frame on these bad boys. Thank you for reading this, and I hope whoever you are you accept this decision I have made :).

Animation News

Alright, just to let everybody know, I've already finished animation for my madness day submission. As well as gathering sound effects that suit madness characters. My next human short should be out by next week if I'm not lazy with the voices. So far I have exactly 2225 frames. Only 1375 more before I reach 4 minutes :D! And that's playing at 15 FPS.

It'll look shinier, more colorful, and sexier when its released. I'm hoping to have the entire thing done by late next week, and I to launch it by Friday or Thursday. I really like this new design, it'll be the start of a new TechFlash Productions!

Front Page, Awards, etc.

Posted by TechFlash Aug. 29, 2007 @ 5:54 PM EDT

I just began to think about my movies and frontpage, and awards. I dunno why I started thinking about it, but yesterday I kinda began to wish my movies would get front page and maybe an award once in a while, I've worked hard these past 2 years in making sure I make good movies for Newgrounds. And I wish I could get more publicity here on NG, even though claymation really is only popular by artists like Knox. I just hope that sometime in the near future I'll be able to get a front page spot or award, I've gotten decent scores for over a year so far and sometimes even when I look at the front page the scores are worse than mine. Probably just the movies favored by Tom get on front page, that's the thing though. I doubt Tom has seen any one of my claymations besides "Pico: Clayman's Nightmare" which he featured on front page on Pico Day (thanks again, Tom). I just really which I could get more publicity here on NG, as well as other fellow clay animators on NG like BlakTornado, Sonikaos, and Vdub. I just had to tell all that to someone, thanks for listening whoever you are :).

Clock Day was Good! And BIG NEWS!

Posted by TechFlash Aug. 16, 2007 @ 1:17 PM EDT

Clock Day was a good success! I'm kinda starting to wish I had prepared something for it, but that'll be gone once I feature my submission for Madness Day :). Madness Day has always been on my top 3 favorite series, next to Another Day and Knoxs Klay World. I just hope I can get enough white and grey clay to make the figures by then :). The plan is to make a complete remake of the original madness combat, but with clay and a different plot (it'll still be the same killing with the same music, but with different figures). Anyway, back to clock day! Things went great, my brother even submitted something for it. Go to crotchmonkey.newgrounds.com to check it out. Also, my new film using my camcorder should be released by tomorrow, so keep an eye out!

I FINALLY GOT IT!

Posted by TechFlash Aug. 5, 2007 @ 6:53 PM EDT

AND IT SUCKS! I'm going back to using my webcam! Hah, just kidding. It's awesome! The quality is so much better than my old webcam, I can't wait to start animating with it! Oh yeah, and if any of you guys get the chance, go check out my brother's first audio mix, it's really good for a remix of the song of storms from Zelda!
