I bet you're about to get a lot of negative comments about liking LegendaryFrog, even though he made some funny movies when he was actually active on Newgrounds. Most of them are parodies, but he has some original movies too.

I've mostly made parody movies, nearly all of them with sprites, and right now I'm trying to branch out into more original things--movies that are frame-by-frame, and some Flash games with characters and sprites I make myself. So I think we've got a somewhat similar mindset on that subject.

I couldn't find your Street Fighter Collab part. Was it in there?

...I want to say more but I can't think of anything lol

you need to figure out why you animate..

is because you love to tell stories? make people laugh?

Dont worry about circles or any other nonsense, and figure out what drives you,.

You have an negative attitude Al, that's what stopping you

you remind me of my cousin. i dont like him very much. hes one of those people who complain and complain and still fail to even remotely try to do anything about it. it's about time you had a revelation.

To be fair, I think it's partially my fault that BloodyDoll keeps getting stalled over and over. I'm always too ambitious with my projects, and so when BloodyDoll isn't being overpolished, I'm working on too many projects. Gah.

But still, it's also nice to see how much your animation skills have progressed over the years. Keep working at it, and I'm sure you'll get your share of NG fame someday!

its hard motivating yourself sometimes but if you stick to something original, like making your own feature length film with your own characters and stories, you'll get a lot more success than the people who just parody stuff as humor

Starogre 2009-06-02 02:18:33

one or two collabs is fine but you get a lot more attention doing your own full film

Nice story. But tutorials usually don't help much (I'd have a proper submission by now if they did). Sure they help you learn the tools of flash but the artisticnessness (sorry, don't know the proper word for it) has to come from within. I've seen many tutorials and I can now trace things really well (and a bit of coding too) but when it comes to drawing something original or animating I can't do shit yet. I've found that just turning on flash and doodling once in a while helps though (I can now combine radial and linear gradients to make a lightsaber blade) and I've improved beause of it (nowhere near your level yet but an improvement still). Good luck becoming one of NG's finest someday.

Personally, I think you shouldn't worry about not being as good as other people when you have 3 flash in the portal, all of which are scoring over 3.7. I wish I was getting scores like that. And 2 front pages? Wow! Also, I recognised two of the collabs, the Bad Day, and Choose Your Song. I think I joined them. It's a shame they didn't work out. Well, keep up the good work, and seriously, don't worry about whether or not you're as good as other animators, just keep animating. :)
