Pico Day Aftermath

Posted by AlmightyHans - May 2nd, 2008

"7th - $500: - The Press & Punch Collab
We've talked around the office about doing a feature length Pico movie this way, but Hans actually delivered by pulling together this epic Pico collab! I love the varying art styles, and choose-your-adventure interactivity!"
-Tom

ok... what? Pico feature length? 500$? 7th? Wow, this collab turned out much better than i expected. Thank you Tom, Thank you Newgrounds. I really appreciate this support. not only to us behind the Press and Punch Collab, but to every artist on Newgrounds. It's events like these and many others that you create that make Newgrounds more than just a website.

As for the prize money, this is just a mini message for the artists in the Press and Punch Collab about splitting the money. PM about this.

Wow, it seems that the Tank awards (or what i thought was a good idea, Shermans) nominies are finally here. it seems like they've got a very broad selection of best movies. I personally can't think of the one i'd vote for at the moment. But it seems that Waterlollies has an extremely high chance of winning.

JUST IN CASE you didn't catch the collab. check it out here...

I can't think of anything else to add for now, maybe i'll come back later.

Gratz man :)

KupaMan 2008-05-02 21:02:45

Congratulations. Also, no update on the comic?

The-EXP 2008-05-02 21:15:55

I hope one of the less successful animators wins, Waterlollies is god, and Adam Phillips is extremly talented, but he gets oodles of praise anyway.
Good luck to everyone :D

Tystarr 2008-05-02 21:49:56

If Waterlollies lose there's a problem..

AlmightyHans 2008-05-02 21:49:56

i have to disagree

MaestroRage 2008-05-02 21:52:25

7 animators, 7th place!

THIS SAH, IS NO MISTAKE D:!!!

But on a serious note, well done sir, it was a hectic last week, but it all got together at the end. You organized and led the effort well.

AlmightyHans 2008-05-02 21:52:25

omg... 7! also April/30... 04/30... cancel the zeroes and it's 4+3=7 OMG!!

Wurmy 2008-05-02 22:35:16

Man, I love your art and animation style.. it's so cool :O

AlmightyHans 2008-05-02 22:35:16

thanks :D

PostTimeskipSam 2008-05-02 23:01:36

Yeah, I agree with EXP. Waterlollies is truly amazing and it does deserve that award, but it is unfair to all the less, but not as successful animators to win the award. Anyways once again amazing job on the Press and Punch Collab!

AlmightyHans 2008-05-02 23:01:36

the thing about Adam Phillips is that no matter if he wins the award or not, he knows very well his work is material for awards such as this one. For me, that's the reason why The Sherman should be given to someone not in that state. but then again, it's also hard... cause what will this trophy be given for? Political reasons or who truly deserves it. and if so... who truly deserves it? we have to look at the Movies and not the artists to know exactly who deserves it.

MRat 2008-05-02 23:15:19

First off, yay we won. Thanks for pulling this together Hans baby.

Second, fuck all this talk about "Waterlollies shouldn't win because Adam is praised enough as it is." I don't actually think it's the best anyway, but more importantly, THE BEST ONE DESERVES TO WIN FUCK EVERYONE ELSE FUCK PRAISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See all those exclamation points? Means I'm SUPER SERIOUS GUYS!

My vote, although it counts for nothing (something I'm thankful for. I love this panel thing way more than letting the NG users decide, because most of us don't know jack shit) goes to Metropolis Circuit. It wasn't the most well animated thing of the year maybe, althought Rtil is a better character animator than Adam, imo, but it grabbed my attention the most.

The best animation was in Aladdin is actually The Lizard from Spiderman. But It was a little absurd for the best of the year I guess. My third place choice is Waterllolies tied with Tomas et la Fraise.

Ok I've shared my opinion folks, feel free to berate me for not thinking the exact same thing as you.

AlmightyHans 2008-05-02 23:15:19

i agree with what you said about the Sherman Awards, but you also have to look at not only the animation aspect, but the contents and story. Tom IS giving a Movie award and not who makes the prettiest stuff. so the best movie has to work as a whole.

Luis 2008-05-02 23:37:12

congrats hans... i made you kick and scream for me to give you my part but it turned out great and i love you dearly for bugging me about it cause its a great project to have been part of.

i would talk about tank awards but fuck it im still glowing all sorts of colors from pico day. and it seems posts are getting ugly in this userpage.

AlmightyHans 2008-05-02 23:37:12

you sure made me kick and scream, probably just as bad as "Valentine '29". But It's all good now, i know that's just how looeez works. (And i say Looeez cause i'm trying to enhance the Spanish pronunciation that i call you by.) And I love you dearly too, being the reason why i kept bugging you to do it and not booting you for another artist. I do have to get you back on saying that it's always awesome to have you on board for a collab.

don't worry about the tank awards, keeping your own politics for yourself tends to be a better idea anyways.

lenkalamari 2008-05-03 01:51:30

All of them are pretty awesome, but Socklops is my fave for some reason.

MRat 2008-05-03 04:43:35

"i agree with what you said about the Sherman Awards, but you also have to look at not only the animation aspect, but the contents and story. Tom IS giving a Movie award and not who makes the prettiest stuff. so the best movie has to work as a whole."

I completely agree with you, and I think if you'll reread the breakdown in my post, you'll notice I mentioned the content too.

AlmightyHans 2008-05-03 04:43:35

:P !!!

John-The-Biter 2008-05-03 13:52:27

Im pulling for Blockhead Ghostmas or What is Love. Waterlollies has fabulous animation, but is vastly overrated and has NO story.

Good job on the collab!

tankbuster781 2008-05-03 23:41:25

I totally laughed at yours, because it was so random!
I love your style of animation

KeithArrowhart 2008-05-04 18:37:47

still waiting for 'It's a Halo Thing 2/2'

AlmightyHans 2008-05-04 18:37:47

i swear to god... STOP ASKING THAT QUESTION. it's probably not coming for a long long long long long long long long long long long long time. i'm going to start tallying. if people ask me that question 20 more times. i'm canceling the project.

This is the new problem based from the movie "24"

AlmightyHans 2008-05-05 15:53:37

also, the 500$ was divided into 70$ for each animator O_O

tankbuster781 2008-05-05 18:29:17

THE MOVIE WAS 7.8 MB!!!
TAKE OUT THE 8 AND IT MAKES.......7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dude, I think you need to see a therapist about this O_O I'm not kidding.

P.S. Pico Day (NOT COUNTING THE SPACE) MAKE 7 LETTERS!

eddsworld 2008-05-07 14:32:35
