COLLEGE, COLLAB, ETC.

Posted by AlmightyHans - October 24th, 2009

College has been making me it's fucking bitch. It's been tough for me to get used to the routine. I feel like I'm always busy with, but I'm not accomplishing enough. It could just be me, stressing when there's no need. I have trouble with that some times. It feels like it's just never enough sometimes. My effort I mean.

Anyway, enough of that emotional bullshit.

I still need more face scans for "The Faces of Newgrounds" collab. I think I'm giving it one or two more weeks of face scans sent to me. If I don't have enough, I'll just fade out the music.

I want to get that collaboration done, cause I've got a little something up my sleeve I've been working on for a while. Actually it's pretty big. It might happen it might not, depends on how I lay out my work load. With college getting in the way of so much and all. It's always nice to dream, though (insert cheesy, poetic tone). But I think I've finally come up with an idea for a series...

I've had this idea for a series for a while. and on friday i decided to make an intro for fun. So, just in case this project never becomes a reality. i'll post this intro here cause it wouldn't hold up as a submission on its own anyway.

Check out the intro here!

Were those just generic placeholder voice actors, or have you actually had these people record for your series?

AlmightyHans 2009-10-24 23:49:04

they all agreed to do the voices. I am still working on the script for the first episode. i want to make sure the first one is especially good. explains the story, presents characters and full of good moments. but i wanted to make sure the voice actors i had in mind were up for it first.

sucho 2009-10-24 23:56:18

don't stress yasself out, i dont want you to suffer cardiac arrest before i get to san fran again. and besides, anything you accomplish always looks fantastic.

the collab intro page makes me think of primetime cafe in disneyworld. which makes me think of a shrieking harpy from the mid-fifties telling my mother to finish the cucumber slices she left on her salad.

karma.

AlmightyHans 2009-10-24 23:56:18

yeah, for some reason i wanted the Faces of NG to have a late 80's early 90's feel. I think it's because that style always reminds me of those photo booths at the malls. it seems like those things were a very popular attraction in those days. i dunno. it felt right. wait til you all hear what song i chose. that also fits that era.

Emanhattan 2009-10-25 00:03:01

I like it a lot!

the whole intro thing kinda reminds me of some movie intro/credit sequences because of how all the names and stuff are displayed

very nice job

also Im really looking forward for that many faces of Ng collab.

westwarren32 2009-10-25 00:04:30

WOW, OMG its almighty hans or A.K.A Rubber ninja!, the creator of awesomes creed and awesome evolve, this project of yours is going to be great!, i can feel IT!

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 00:04:30

im not rubber ninja XD

JamesKnox 2009-10-25 00:05:17

I really wanna see the faces of newgrounds

MrScriblam 2009-10-25 00:07:15

the intro looks really nice but god would it kill you to find some fresh voice actors?

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 00:07:15

would it kill you to not be such a snobby prick?

JamesKnox 2009-10-25 00:09:41

I agree with scriblam. I really hate how all the good artists just use the same voice actors over and over again. It completely kills the chance of anybofy else becoming a voice actor on here because everyone wants to use the people that everyone uses.

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 00:09:41

i haven't been approached. and castings take way too long. plus i know these guys and i know they are reliable. these guys arent the only characters. they're just the main ones. and for main characters i need reliable voice actors. that's a big part of the casting. second. i actually developed the three main characters after their voices (to a degree). that should shut any people complaining about the frequent reoccurrence of very talented voice actors like Arin and Josh. Because these guys are very much like them. Anyways it's a stupid argument, arin and josh do a lot of voice acting cause they are hard workers and good at it. enough said.

BiffTheTimid 2009-10-25 01:23:10

I'm digging the intro man. It's very "Saul Bass", but still yours. My scanner was just fixed so I might send my face in soon. As for college, trust me when I say you can never do enough to be satisfied. It's all a matter of accepting the fact that you can only do so much. Keep on keepin' on.

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 01:23:10

thanks dude. that's honestly helpful advice. i literally JUST came back from like 5 hours straight of editing in the lab, and feeling pretty down. I'll keep that in mind.

as for Saul Bass. I remember still very young animating with my video camera and cut outs of paper always putting lots of effort in the title sequences of my little animated home video scenes. I remember some friend of my parent's came over one day and saw one of my movies and mentioned how my credits are a lot like Saul Bass. I ended up eventually researching the guy and yeah. that's the story of how I was introduced to one of my creative idols. In short, I love that dude's work.

WoodenSneakers 2009-10-25 01:56:47

PEDOSTACHE

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 01:56:47

yup.

Calicard 2009-10-25 01:58:47

That looks awesome! I'd love to see that series!

Kirbopher 2009-10-25 02:20:51

Oh shit I keep forgetting. What's the e-mail we send them to?

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 02:20:51

PM it to me on NG. you can host your image somewhere and post the link

Kirbopher 2009-10-25 02:24:20

Also that intro is fucking great, I hope that ends up being finished after all.

Kajenx 2009-10-25 02:27:14

Your animation just oozes style and flair, like Hanna and Barbera in the 50s.

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 02:27:14

thanks man!

SmoG878 2009-10-25 04:39:20

WAIT! I wanna join this! But, when you say 'face scan' do you mean a pictur of ourselves? Or some sort of artistic illustration? and how do we send it to you?

AlmightyHans 2009-10-25 04:39:20

you need to press your face into a scanner and make it silly. and send me the picture.

JamesKnox 2009-10-25 09:58:40

It's actually easier than you think.
Here's an example of a great voice actor who's never been used before
