So the latest volume of Sonic Shorts was released yesterday. We were a lot tougher on what went into the collection, putting a pox on all 'run into something' gags. I'm pretty pleased with how the animation for my part turned out.
There's also a new toon over at Weebl's stuff about Narwhals which should be up on NG later on in the week.
Edit: K it's now in the portal. Sadly he's submitting them now, so I won't be able to respond to your reviews personally. That was one of the fun parts of submitting a new flash. ='(
Going back to Sonic Shorts, TheWax was telling me as he was submitting it that he was unable to submit it with the intended title (it was originally without a colon, like the previous volumes) because a spam movie had already taken it. Whilst many of you will just go 'pfft, it's just a colon, no need to cut yourself over it', it does bring up concern that such a system exists. I don't know if this always existed, or whether it was just implimented for the recent upgrade to the search bar, but it does seem problematic.
Spam flashes following a popular video game parody series aside, this also brings problems for seperate artists having ideas for flashes that coincidentally share the same name. Like if someone wanted to submit their experimental flash they've been working months on under the name 'Apple', only to find they can't submit it as 'Apple' cos it was taken by a comedy about an apple trying to get lucky. Sure you can go with the seemingly cool '-Apple-' method of naming, but really you shouldn't need to.
In other news, got a couple more uni projects in the running, one being a mock commercial and one involving...erm... a sheep. Should be fun.
And anyone playing Street Fighter IV, make sure you play it with 'Arcade Requests' off, or you will hate life. More than you probably already do.
