Waterlollies finished

Posted by chluaid Sep. 11, 2007 @ 1:47 PM EDT

when I say "finished"... I mean that my part of it is done :)
The animation is complete so I actually saw the sky a few times over the past week or so. I even had time to make an instructable. (How to make a Piano-wire slingshot) Go vote :)

So Waterlollies.. when?
Well, now I'm just waiting on the music/sound to be completed and in the meantime I can fine-tune stuff to my heart's content. It's 8 minutes long and looking like it'll be close to (perhaps a bit over) 10MB.

The actionscript guy is pretty much done too.. it's been difficult and a little frustrating to try getting intense scripted effects performing reasonably over the top of complex graphics but the best person for the job just happens to be the guy who's doing it :)

Can't wait for everyone to see it but believe me, hearing it will be something else.. the music guy has brought something to this project that I never could.

I didn't want to release any more backgrounds, but I posted a screen-capture video on YouTube of me doing a Waterlollies background, so you can see the finished piece below (click here to see the video on YouTube).

If I can't release Waterlollies before the 20th Sept, I'll wait until after Madness Day to release it.
Talkitye soon

Looking forward to it Adam!

Best of luck :)


Sep. 11, 2007 | 1:52 PM Cross666 says:

Damn I was just here checking out your messages 5 minutes ago.


Sep. 11, 2007 | 1:55 PM RubberNinja says:

Also I might add.. As it's 2am here in Perth.. I assume it's about 4-5am over there..

Up late finishing it off I assume? Nothing wrong with a bit of dedication I suppose :P


Sep. 11, 2007 | 2:39 PM Imperial-hellkite says:

Hurrah!

Did a double-take when I saw your message and I "ran" to the portal to check if you'd submitted it but you hadn't and I was all "aww".

Happy to see it's almost done though! Muy love


Sep. 11, 2007 | 2:54 PM Gmagnum says:

Incredible. All I can say.


Sep. 11, 2007 | 3:01 PM GoddaM says:

Sep. 11, 2007 | 3:27 PM DibbityDan says:

Sep. 11, 2007 | 3:34 PM SimMa-T says:

Sep. 12, 2007 | 12:04 AM Mad-Mardigan says:

Sep. 12, 2007 | 4:41 AM Spindax says:

Yay! I can't wait!


Sep. 15, 2007 | 6:20 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

FINALLY. ITS FINALLY READY (ALMOST)


Sep. 15, 2007 | 6:22 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

Damn, that made me even more bored, because now i know i gotta wait 5 days >_<


Sep. 16, 2007 | 7:33 AM Dast says:

It's heppy message :D


Sep. 16, 2007 | 9:32 AM Nav says:

Looks great! By the way, how do you afford to get professional scoring?

Sep. 16, 2007 | 9:56 AM chluaid responds:

I got sponsorship for the movie and spent it ALL on the musical score and sound effects :)


Sep. 16, 2007 | 2:05 PM alicetheDroog says:

Oh ...Oh wow.

You make it look so easy.

How did you get so good at drawing nature?
Do you have a reference, or is it all from your head?


Sep. 16, 2007 | 5:32 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

4 more days.
P.S. Do u use the brush tool or the line tool to draw bitey ?


Sep. 17, 2007 | 7:15 PM nrenteria says:

I cant wait Adam i realy hope you finish soon. Good luck. I saw a picture of just Bitey's foot and some grass and its beter then anything else here lol. Again good luck.


Sep. 18, 2007 | 11:38 PM flaminlion24 says:

hey i say save no matter what for after madness day. its gonna be close anyway. however, halo 3 is coming out and a lot of peeps will be preoccupied with that. it could go both ways. in any case, all of your brackenwood titles have made it to the best ever top 50 submissions list so im sure waterlollies will blow me away.

on an unrelated note, because of your most spectacular flash composer ever. i was wandering if you might, maybe, possibly, could, unsurely, conceivably make some flashes of my comic. well its not just my comic, my friends made it too. its funny (not your style) and good. now we just started it and it may take months to get the story goin but maybe by next year you miht be able to help us with it. its ok if you dont want to cause i have some other flash friends like Legendary Frog and Afro Ninja that are willing (just to name a few), but maybe u could make a well made very satisfactory visualled flash of it. u know, just one that would stand out above the rest. it would be something new and it has to has voices. but im just contemplating ideas. i just saw your work and i could see what our comic would look like if u made it and i had to at least ask you. i just wanted to know if you would. you would get credit for the submission, i just want it to say the idea was by us in the credits. all u have to do is use the characters of the comic and make a story off of it.

if you want to know what the comic is about its on my account page on NG as a news post.

oh, and i hope waterlollies makes it to the top 10 of all time flash list. but i dont think it will need hope.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 6:35 AM Spindax says:

Hi Adam. Are you gonna release WaterLollies tommorow? Regards Spindax. I love your work btw.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 6:59 PM Kajenx says:

This is so exciting! An 8 minute flash by Adam Phillips! It might take an hour to load, but it'll be worth the wait.


Sep. 19, 2007 | 9:46 PM TheProfessional808 says:

Woohoo!!!! ive been waiting for waterlollies for awhile good to know i can see it soon.


Sep. 20, 2007 | 12:05 PM 2good2b4goten says:

My penis is tingling with excitement...


Sep. 20, 2007 | 10:25 PM clixels says:

Wow, you make all this look so easy. You might have missed 3 due dates, but honestly, I don't care, as long as it is great, you and the musicians can take their time. Hope they finish soon.

-Clixl


Sep. 21, 2007 | 12:03 AM RWappin says:

I can already tell from that background that you've done the impossible and topped yourself yet again.

This animation is going to blow everyone's mind.


Sep. 21, 2007 | 1:54 AM RadeMan says:

Cant wait to see it Oo)
Is it up yet its the 20th!


Sep. 21, 2007 | 1:09 PM Bug says:

looks like it'll be awesome =]


Sep. 23, 2007 | 6:13 AM Adzy-2k6 says:

Its after madness day. Are u posting it in a few days ?


Sep. 23, 2007 | 4:52 PM ObsessedOne says:

I would suggest waiting until after Madness day (week) is over before submitting it. You can delay Waterlollies as long want as long as you keep your fans updated.

Where did you get those images in your head anyways? Do you look outside or is it all in your mind? I'd like some divine inspiration for myself.

Best of luck to you and your animation. I can't wait to see your work. =)


Sep. 24, 2007 | 1:30 AM fmafan1 says:

yay for you!


Sep. 24, 2007 | 4:33 PM axcho says:

I'm very curious what sort of ActionScript-based effects you are using in your movie. I recently released my first animation, which uses a lot of procedural effects for rain and water ripples (on axcho.deviantart.com). Being both an artist and a programmer, I am very interested in exploring the possibilities for scripted effects to enhance animation. If you could take the time to explain how you are using code-based effects in your movie, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!


Sep. 25, 2007 | 6:52 AM LordGazzit says:

Can't wait... really looking forward to it!!

This is going to be great! :P

*jumps up and down in his seat from all the excitment*


Sep. 25, 2007 | 2:11 PM KabukiWarrior says:

That's great news! I can't wait to see the last animation ! :)


Sep. 25, 2007 | 11:34 PM Erreip199 says:

Awesome cant wait to see the finished product, The Vcam V2 will be used there or still version 1? i just got my hands in it and its awesome =)


Sep. 26, 2007 | 9:08 AM Stamper says:

I'M SIMPLY IN BUNCHES AND CANNOT WAIT!


Sep. 26, 2007 | 8:13 PM Davoo says:

Sep. 27, 2007 | 12:26 PM stormcloud1 says:

Sep. 28, 2007 | 10:52 PM ParachuteFish says:

I can't wait! I'm a fan of all your work, and I'm sure Waterlollies won't dissapoint me

So... um... when are you going to put Bitey in Newgrounds Rumble?


Sep. 29, 2007 | 2:33 PM Roastmasters says:

So yea its finished....

Release it now or your life shall be shortened


Sep. 29, 2007 | 7:01 PM watchfanatic says:

I think I speak for myself when I say Can you release a non sound version or sound up to date version? I would rather get a "full" teaser w/ little sound than be destroyed by anxiety over the upcoming greatness of this movie


Sep. 30, 2007 | 5:37 AM Dr34m3r says:

Mate, it's the end of September.

And still nothing.

You know how we Aussies feel about being kept waiting. :(


Sep. 30, 2007 | 10:48 AM Emanhattan says:

DUde, when you release it, would you mind PMing me?

Im such a fan right now : )


Sep. 30, 2007 | 1:08 PM killer-lord says:

<3 you


Sep. 30, 2007 | 6:39 PM OdHero says:

This animation is going to be so awesome!


Oct. 1, 2007 | 2:02 PM Jackoginger says:

I also have a feeling that it will be Wednesday too. And if it is, i have a feeling this will be the only flash that will get to 5.00. Its just a feeling. Its late, and a few people have forgotton that this is going to be released but you are a flash legend, and it will make Newgrounds history. If it doesent get Daily Feature, Weekly Users choice and review crew pick, then someething has topped it. Dont think so. Huge fan, and can you please PM me when you release it, and i know your very busy making another Brackenwod follow up after youv'e done this one lol, but please can you to let me know? Thanks.


Oct. 1, 2007 | 2:15 PM Kajenx says:

Don't listen to them! Let it be perfect for its arrival!


Oct. 2, 2007 | 11:46 PM Esn says:

Folks, Adam has no control over it now. He mentioned September 20 as a tentative date, but it's really no longer in his hands.

Whenever it's released, he said that he'll release it on his website a day or so before he releases it on NG... so if you're really eager, you could check the woodenblog ocassionally:
http://oohbitey.com/blog/woodblog.htm l


Oct. 3, 2007 | 7:41 PM Xigbar4ever says:

i hope when im older i can draw as good as you can, those are beautiful


Oct. 3, 2007 | 8:02 PM ilovecandy2 says:

hey bro, its like october lol. i am really looking forward to when it is completely finished tho, so take your time man!!!


Oct. 5, 2007 | 3:40 AM Darkside7000 says:

I'm sure it will suck as hard as the others.

And the "music guy" and "AS guy" might like their names attached to this.


Oct. 6, 2007 | 6:17 AM Adzy-2k6 says:

This weekend ?


Oct. 7, 2007 | 1:15 PM Jackoginger says:

I have a feeling now it is going to be a halloween release, if not that, maybe this wednesday.


Oct. 13, 2007 | 4:33 PM xboxbob11 says:

Been quite a while since you released a new movie. I'm eager for this one to arrive any day now.


Oct. 15, 2007 | 12:21 PM JumpingJackFrost says:

Oct. 16, 2007 | 6:12 PM Emanhattan says:

Oct. 19, 2007 | 9:37 AM MCU says:

Do you draw a new picture in each frame? Cos of the way they move so smoothly and freely. You're awesome. My favourite animator on NG.


Oct. 19, 2007 | 6:45 PM Gawayno says:

Oct. 25, 2007 | 10:32 PM Item-Master says:

i'm starting to get pissed off now, this message has been here for well over a month. It is also WELL past madness day! WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG!!! you say you have everyting except sound. How can it take so long for this guy to get you the sound and music, huh? just PLEASE get it out faster, i am the kind of person with no patience at all, do you know what happened to me when i heard Brawl was coming out in february? i nearly fell into a frickin coma. So tell the sound guy to get into his computer chair and finish his damn part. TO ANYONE WHO READS THIS WHOLE THING: thank you for taking the time to read this

Nov. 2, 2007 | 12:04 PM chluaid responds:

You know, I just typed 3 paragraphs of explanation but fuck it.


Oct. 26, 2007 | 3:16 PM andythehedgehog says:

almost finished, huh? this must be pretty damn epic to take a month to add music!


Oct. 28, 2007 | 6:40 PM watchfanatic says:

Everyone go to bitey castle IT WILL BE RELEASED EARLY THERE. ^^ Yay for lack of sleep


Oct. 28, 2007 | 8:51 PM Davoo says:

so wait, does this mean that the members of the BW forum are already watching waterlolies?

Oh yeah, and why the heck are you releasing it one day at a time to different places?

Nov. 2, 2007 | 12:05 PM chluaid responds:

I'm submitting to NG at the same time that I'm releasing it on my site. The Brackenwood forum had a preview but it's not officially released yet. It'll be about two days (one small thing to be added).


Oct. 29, 2007 | 8:41 PM Esn says:

SOME of the members are watching it. :)

The rest of them will be watching it soon.


Oct. 30, 2007 | 12:04 AM senior-twinki says:

Oct. 31, 2007 | 4:24 PM Jackoginger says:

Its the 31st that means its ONE DAY LATE


Nov. 1, 2007 | 8:59 AM Adzy-2k6 says:

i have the feeling that hes waiting for halloween to end


Nov. 2, 2007 | 10:49 AM squeakytoad says:

Hopefully you'll hold off just another week or two.
A ton of quality animations that have high scores and high hopes will be crushed if you submit. (Including mine, heh). Wait till a lower scoring week, I begeth thee. D:


Nov. 2, 2007 | 5:02 PM ShitOnMyShoes says:

Just watched WLs. Great Job, but for some reason, the 13 pages defining WLs keep playing over and over quickly, and it's to fast for me to read. Is that just me?


Nov. 2, 2007 | 9:51 PM DiscoFever says:

Yo dude, looking forward to some of your new work and all but man, it's been near 2 months since your post and nothing since then, are you sick or something or just engrossed in some new project? whatever it is hope you get the new work submitted


Nov. 5, 2007 | 1:04 PM invaderzimja says:

yey its out


Nov. 9, 2007 | 5:43 AM Sp0UtDuDe02 says:

Great movie.
BUT I would like a shooting game to replace this movie's ratings.
