You mean the one seen in my demo reel? I think TheWax might stick it as an extra in that collab.
I envy you... good luck though! And enjoy that money!
Congrats on the "deal"!
Congratulations! The only thing more satisfying than doing what you like to do is getting paid to do what you like to do.
So now what? Is everything we've come to know and love about you going to change?
Depends what you do know and love about me.
I'm glad you can use your tween and symbol style to make stuff other than the stuff you do now.
...but he writes your content right? You just animate it? (And he dictates your style as well?)
Wow, wish I'd found out about this.
So what's the starting salary these days?
He said that he'd be presenting me with the stuff I've gotta animate with as much involvement of myself as possible (which I assume applies to written stuff as opposed to songs.) As for styles, he did say to keep the LNS style for this one, but for future ones who knows.
As for pay, I'm keeping it secret so noone beats me up.
Hooray.
Yeah.... that one. I liked the little animation when Sonic talks with Scratch & Grounder.
I'm glad you got the job, its a shame you didn't have more time to work on your debut flash for them.
Heh, well it's a sign of good faith that I can animate something in a short time period.
"Thev'e got a new Sonic character! I... Must... Draw... Porn of it!"
That short was hilarious. But can you explain to me why Sonic was freaking out for some reason while holding a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog?
Because Sonic the Hedgehog Next is an abomination upon his reputation. Even more than Sonic Underground.
Weebl's Stuff hires now? x.x holy crap the more you know I guess
Wait hold on a sec, you doing stuff for Weebl? Is this positive?
I mean...
All right, whatever sails your boat, luck I guess
Well on the plus side, I get money, I get to work with my idol, and his style of doing things (ie. short and sweet) fits my general approach to flash anyway.
On the downside I guess, it'll be tricky to find time for non WS animations in between this and university.
But hey, having a job would've affected it anyway, and it's better this than a job at McDonald's or something.
I just watched Late Night Shopping 2.
You did an awesome job! It fits with the original perfectly, and you seemed to add your own flair to it.
I wish I could be that awesome =(
Congratulations, I guess it was because of the whole "beta testing" thing. Hope your style is contributed well throughout some future animations.

I liked you (stating this so that you wont think i hate you), but you didnt even seem to reply to my weebls-stuff post saying that late night shopping 2 was very poor animation compared to how other animators made it look. I especially love weebl's stuff because its where i go to see these weird flash cartoons with some crazy animation usually, something which i think you did keep with. And yes i realize how hard it is to animate these things and such but i think you shouldn't have taken on a part 2 at first but rather just done something else as i think your animation skills are very good. Just not as a strange animation style like what late night shopping was.
Well Weebl was the one who chose the song as my trial, so that's what I had to make. Admittedly LNS isn't a style I can generally compute with, since I had to be tempting to move away from tweened models, which this uses rather heavily. But that's what Weebl's stuff tends to be about, creating random stuff in random styles.
Omg!
OMG!!!!! NOOO!!!! was the best! LMFAO so many times!
Lol, "Must.... draw.... PORN OF IT". Well done!

glad you got a gig, maybe the on the job training will improve your skills.

That was probably a subtle insult, but it's a good point. There'll be times where I'll have to try a lot of different animation styles, which would be good to test myself. And just doing that animation taught me a few tricks.
