Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

OK sure it's been a month since my last post but Waterlollies is ready to submit pending one tiny addition. If that one little thing holds me up I'll submit it to NG, regardless.

To everyone who offered their support no matter how long the wait, thanks for your patience. I hated having to set estimated dates, only to see them go by as Waterlollies experienced further delays. It was (still is) pretty painful getting abusive emails, as if people thought I was sitting on my arse doing fuck all.

The fact is that having other contributors to the project meant that I could only set realistic dates for my own part of the work. So I worked hard getting all of the backgrounds, animation and effects done, putting the movie together and fine-tuning the flow of the story. For the other parts (scripting and audio) I could only encourage those artists to finish quickly, then step back and hope they would.

The important thing is that it's finished now and I hope you find that it's been worth the wait. Nathan McCree (the music guy) worked very hard on this. He's done amazing work as I knew he would. The music and the sound of Brackenwood is incredible and it adds so much to the animation. I'm very happy with the movie visually, audiblibabally and I'm also pretty happy with the story.

Speaking of story, I recently slapped my forehead as I came to the realisation that there's a difference between story telling and story writing. I do know how to tell a story well, but my story writing still needs work. I think this is why hitchHiker leaves a lasting impression. At its heart is a fantastic, gripping true story and I told it well.

My average Brackenwood movie however, the story is generally not as refined as it could be. So no matter how great the visuals, until I get my shit together the story will always seem a little lacking. There's been some positive and some negative response to Waterlollies story, but all in all I think it's better than previous Brackenwoods.

So I've invented a new motto: At the heart of a good story there's a good story.

See you in a couple of days!

Two days until another masterpiece is released? Sounds fair enough to me :) Your work is always fantastic, but as you say lacking a story at places. I can't even imagine what this animation is going to hold. Whatever it is I'm looking forward to it.

I wish you the best of luck with the score and awards that follow with it but obviously that's not what animating is about, it's just an extra.

Also, on one final note... Waterlollies? I'm intrigued.

The wait will be well worth it. It also means that it will come out on my birthday, :)

Nov. 3, 2007 | 6:45 AM Onion-fusioN says:

I can't wait :D

I'm sure it's gonna be brilliant.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 6:45 AM Wasim says:

Coolio's!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 6:47 AM Dr34m3r says:

I've been checking everywhere, looking to find SOMEWHEREit's been posted by you, but to no avail.

And now, a two day, and the wait is all over.

Congrats Adam, congrats.

"At the heart of a good story there's a good story." Eh?
My mottos alway been "Make every flash better then the last... Unless I'm drunk." lol But seriously. I'm lookin' forward to it. As is the other 1 million + poeples. :P

Nov. 3, 2007 | 7:09 AM Sticky says:

pppttt who cares. With visuals like that you could be making a stick fight movie and it would still reach number one on newgrounds.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 7:25 AM LilFugitive says:

I can't wait, 2 days and it will be released!

There's nothing that i can add, only that I can't wait!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 7:43 AM aap says:

Nooo... Why on monday? :'( Can't you submit it on sunday so I can be one of the first to see it... Haha.

But seriously though, great news, I can't wait.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 2:03 PM chluaid responds:

well it's possible.. my Monday (Sydney Australia) is your Sunday (assuming you're on the other side of the world) :D

Nov. 3, 2007 | 7:52 AM pezzo says:

awsome

Nov. 3, 2007 | 7:54 AM SBB says:

I'm really wondering how that audio sounds- but sure as hell I want to see the movie itself even more

Gongrats on finishing! :D

Nov. 3, 2007 | 8:07 AM eddsworld says:

I have'nt actually been able to watch this due to the fact my computer cant keep up with the blurs and what not, will there be a youtube version soon?

Nov. 3, 2007 | 2:04 PM chluaid responds:

yeah, sooner or later it'll be on YouTube. I'll probably update my author comments or post an announcement here when I do.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 8:36 AM SaltshakerClock says:

yay! I can't wait! but two days, that's fair.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 8:38 AM DeadBolt says:

I can't wait. Cheers for the info Adam.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:04 AM Night-Ranger says:

Should be exciting!
I haven't heard of this till now. =P
I'm glad I wasn't waiting then! =D

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:15 AM Mega-Hot-Dragon says:

I dont care how long I have to wait to see a new Bitey ep its always worth it and im never disappointed

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:29 AM ChuckDaKnife says:

Do you know what's the best?
That today, I will go away from home, to a house with no computer.
And I come back in two days!

That means that when I come back, Waterlollies will be there, waiting for me in the frontpage!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:32 AM SaintStudios says:

My heart goes out to you for those emails you got, but it's fantastic to know that Waterlollies will be here in a matter of days! Here's hoping to you that it gets good reception.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:44 AM NAMEOFUSER says:

man im stocked for waterlollies. but i cant belive people are banging on you for not finishing sonner.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:59 AM Killerkb says:

oowh man, just 2 days?
I seriously can't wait for this to be released.

Your work is amazing, and you always inspired me.
I just know, for a fact, and by looking at that screenshot, that this movie is going to be amazing.

I'll definitely check the portal 24/7 now.
Cheers!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 10:25 AM KingDavid says:

Adam, when bitey hits dirt at the camera, it disappears on the last frame. Might wanna fix er'

Nov. 3, 2007 | 2:26 PM chluaid responds:

yeah I thought that caught my eye a couple of times too.. it could be a bug though cos it's all sitting properly on the timeline. Maybe the blur on the camera dirt doesn't have time to render before the scene cuts.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 10:27 AM Imperial-hellkite says:

Oh my, I would be so nervous if I were you!
Plagued by computer crashes and possible viruses, causing you to lose that flash of yours would cause me to go insaaaaane.

Oh and much love to your sis, who does some of the voices, I think :)

Nov. 3, 2007 | 2:29 PM chluaid responds:

nah it's safely backed up in about 50 places :D

I've always been nervous about losing data towards the end of a project, and towards the end of Waterlollies, whenever I went out of the house I wore my USB drive around my neck and never let the latest backup out of my sight.

Always having dreams about a house-fire too, so I send my latest .FLA to my gmail account every week or so.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 10:34 AM weebsl says:

Sweet it comes out on my birthday THAnKS FOR THE PRESENT :D

Nov. 3, 2007 | 10:47 AM cumSum says:

Shouldn't take the abusive emails to heart dude, no-one has the right to rush you.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 12:07 PM Splurda says:

Nov. 3, 2007 | 12:49 PM Aksumka says:

Hot damn, I'm excited.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 12:56 PM ToasterDemon says:

Cant wait till its released :D

Nov. 3, 2007 | 1:50 PM Abolesco says:

Just watched it; brilliant work.

I look forward to your next piece, eagerly.

@Abusive emailers: Don't be such cocks, he works hard, fast and better than you ever could, so shut up and grow up.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 3:22 PM Splurda says:

that guy ^ just said he'd watched it, how did he watch it?

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:40 PM chluaid responds:

I released a preview for my forum members, and to answer your question below, yep it's now one movie.. 13MB, 9 minutes.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 3:29 PM Splurda says:

wait, i remember waht i was going to ask now, are you submitting part A, B and C all in the same day, or over a period of time? or are they just packed into a huge file?

Nov. 3, 2007 | 4:28 PM JackBz says:

Just like to say:

.This is an amazing movie, your best so far and was worth the wait.
. The banner at the top of this page is also amazing, nice one!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 4:49 PM BaconMask says:

Dude, I know what you mean about backing up your work. I get so paranoid about losing my Flash that I open them up in notepad and memorize the machine language.

Just kidding, of course! I can't wait to see Waterlollies!!! It's going to be epic, that's for sure.

Nov. 3, 2007 | 5:34 PM Splurda says:

i keep coming back to ure page and i dont know whyyyyyyy!

Nov. 3, 2007 | 8:57 PM senior-twinki says:

WHAT?! another terrible stick movie by Adam? pfft I'm over you...

Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:42 PM chluaid responds:

if I ever make a stick movie, you'll be the first to see it :D

Nov. 3, 2007 | 11:25 PM tankmang says:

Nice Job on the series adam but how soon do you think brackenwood will come out in youtube because some of our Brand name electrtonic appliances Come from a company Called Gateway

Nov. 4, 2007 | 12:27 AM tyokio says:

I wander what a stick movie made by you would be like : D (saw senior-twinkies comment). I also wander if brackenwood fans would scream about it though.

additionally it makes me sick to hear people treating guys like crap by sending hate mail and abusive comments, its like they own you or something. kinda shows me the negative side of popularity, I'm very happy being a no namer for now : D

Nov. 4, 2007 | 1:21 AM fmafan1 says:

<3 yay

Nov. 4, 2007 | 1:22 AM SiMpSoN-bRuVaS says:

Hey man i am sooo happy to hear you say its finally all compete. i couldnt understand why people wanted to rush waterlollies along and complain that it wasn't there. every time you said it was going to be delayed i actually prefered it because it meanr that the greatness of brackenwood wasn't going to be rushed.

i expect to sit down some day and see bitey on the TV, your work by far is the best animation on NG and any other flash sites on the Web. it is just a joke even to try to contemplate how you animate and do it all yourself! untill i saw a few brackenwood stories and read you blog thing i thought that it was at least 12 people working on different scenes at one time; seriously.. the quality of your work is unparrallelled.

seeing your work is what inspires me to try to make my flashes better!

all in all man, its great to hear that Waterlollies is finished. i myself have ben loking forward to it since last july or around there. and i know that you dont rally care about what score it gets, but i seriosuly belive that Waterlollies is goin to be the first 5.00 on newgrounds. before i even click ' view this movie' its getting a strait 5/5 from me!!

see ya!

Nov. 4, 2007 | 4:43 AM Splurda says:

oh wow, its so awesome! (i wish my crappy computer didnt lag so much but hey its still awesome!) i love at the end how the bigfoot is just standin there like wtf?! this is gonna be #1 for a loooooong time, but you should put it on youtube for us crappy computees lol.

Nov. 4, 2007 | 6:15 AM Splurda says:

oh wow, i found a way to stop it lagging, all i did was pause it on the part where bitey grabs the green thing right at the start, then when that movie clip had finished i played it again and it didnt lag once! computers work in strange ways it seems.

Nov. 4, 2007 | 6:15 AM Splurda says:

oh wow, i just said "oh wow" 3 times in a row o_O

Nov. 4, 2007 | 11:29 AM masterchef21 says:

i am a really big fan of your work,the writing is well to my opinion,enleast your skills are better than that from recent writingstaff from pixar(ratattouie,cars and bugs life for a excample)

Nov. 4, 2007 | 11:34 AM Splurda says:

just thought i'd add that ure drawing and animation is better than most cartoons on TV now, and they have entire teams of animaters, i know that the movie will be on the big screen.

Nov. 4, 2007 | 12:56 PM notorious says:

saw this on your website about 6 times already, it was amazing

not sure if i'm allowed to post the link or not so i won't :)

can't wait till it's on newgrounds!

Nov. 4, 2007 | 4:33 PM Splurda says:

i went on my bros laptop when he went to work, and watched waterROFLies without the lag......... I FREAKIN LOVE YOU, how in gods name did you do the water animation at the start, infact, how in gods name did you do ANY of the animation? oh and on ure wikipedia article, nice hair ;)

Nov. 4, 2007 | 8:38 PM Shintoku says:

Just looking at that poster... it sends chills down my spine. One more day, just one more day, and we'll have one more flash of brilliance. I'm fucking ready!

Nov. 4, 2007 | 10:43 PM papusmerf says:

woho it's so close to the masterpiece just two more days.
I hope I can hold until then

Nov. 5, 2007 | 1:25 AM Spite says:

Today's the day!

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:18 AM Bacu says:

I can't wait! :)

Nov. 5, 2007 | 11:38 AM SCUD14 says:

hell yeah! I got 3rd reveiw! But you do know that a few days before the NG release, there was a topic on the BBS linking to waterlollies via www.biteycastle.com/waterlollies.html . i doubt this was meant to get out?

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:22 PM chluaid responds:

yeah I announced the release on my forum so I was pretty sure the link would get out, which was fine by me.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 11:42 AM Adzy-2k6 says:

I just watched it, it was amazing, i never knew you could actually get this much better since you made the yuyu

Nov. 5, 2007 | 12:04 PM 0-Alfyan says:

ignore the people who sent u bad insulting emails

they dont know what a final master piece needs to be done

You're a genious.
And a legend.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 1:25 PM Splurda says:

do you ever regret having left disney? or has it been awesome?

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:23 PM chluaid responds:

non-stop awesome. I go to bed at 5am and sleep until lunchtime. Best job I've ever had :D

Nov. 5, 2007 | 1:49 PM DikkopStudios says:

OMG SCORE OF 4.74!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this a record on NG? Does anyone know? I've only seen Tankman 2 as highest with 4.47 (4.44 now)
I hope Waterlollies score keeps going up!!

Nov. 5, 2007 | 1:53 PM Nqkoi1 says:

Wow all this wait and I get great graphics with horrible storyline.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:23 PM chluaid responds:

sorry you feel that way. I would refund your money if you'd paid me any :P

Nov. 5, 2007 | 2:03 PM MRat says:

Don't take this the wrong way, but I've thought the same things about the Brackenwood stories for a while. That they weren't AS great as the could be. I was just really impressed you were able to come out and be that honest and truthful about yourself that way.

Waterlollies did turn out absolutely gorgeous though, and it probably had the most pleasent and engrossing of the Brackenwood stories so far. I'm really just giddy with anticipation for the potential Brackenwood feature. If I may, I would suggest, if it's all possible, that you try got rope Guillermo Del Toro in as a producer on it. He has the same sort of subtle and simple magical fancy you do, I find.

Anyway, this is really great, and you're improving en masse with regards to your story-telling abilities.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:25 PM chluaid responds:

thanks for the comments.. Guillermo Del Toro would be awesome for Brackenwood I agree. Anyone got his email address? :P

Nov. 5, 2007 | 3:31 PM skater007 says:

Dear Adam Phillips!
ACTUALLY your latest movie is playable offline!
You just have to skip the frames forward, by pressing Ctrl+> few times.
Thank you for attention.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:26 PM chluaid responds:

thanks for that! It's not my intention to make it bullet-proof but I'll look into it all the same.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 4:11 PM Phil says:

That Was Sooooo Good I'm Speechless

Nov. 5, 2007 | 4:25 PM Splurda says:

omg 4.75 is the biggest score i have ever seen! i mean usually by this time theyve been voted down, but yours has been voted UP!!!!! well its the best thing ive ever seen on newgrounds, the plot isnt brilliant but its better than alot of stuff on ng, andit was beautifully animated. YOU ROXXORS MA BOXXORS! i hope we get 1 more toon before you make the movie, i dont think i can go that long O.O

Nov. 5, 2007 | 5:38 PM Evil-Dog says:

Hey man, no need to tell you that you have amazing skills
I have great respect for such talent
now I'm not sure you even read these messages but I was just wondering if you ever thought about making a game in your fantastic universe?
I'm a professional game developer at ubisoft montreal (worked on rainbow six vegas and now farcry 2) and I'm currently working on a side-scroller engine in flash so when I see supreme artwork like yours, I drool and imagine what could be made with it game-wise :)
Let me know if you had any thought on the subject

Peace man and congratulations on your many success

Marco

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:28 PM chluaid responds:

yeah man, games are high on my agenda.. right up there with the short film and feature film. Drop me a line through my site if you wanna chat about your side-scrolling Flash engine.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 6:02 PM RWappin says:

Learn to animate, n00b.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 10:28 PM chluaid responds:

ok will do. brb.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 7:43 PM Cheddar79 says:

Yet another mind blowing addition of how we all need to take a page out of your work ethic guide and learn from the best. Visually stunning work that hands down trumps anything the likes of which has been seen on Newgrounds.

I applaud you sir, for you are our inspiration.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 8:24 PM darcness1 says:

Finally, it looks like you'll get the #1 spot back again. good. :)

You'll only be in first by .32! *sarcasm* <.<

Nov. 5, 2007 | 11:00 PM johnkilo says:

Waterlollies is amazing, as is all of your work.

Nov. 5, 2007 | 11:05 PM americanidiot2f says:

so I just saw waterlollies
and it was perfect, it was well worth the wait
I never pressure flash artist on getting things done early, cause if I'm to watch a flash, I dont want it to be crappy, and me being a beginning noob flash animator, this work seems to have taken unimaginable work to complete

So, I'm not pressuring you or anything, but, ( i know its a stupid question), do you plan on making another Brackenwood story in the future?

Anyways, awesome flash.

Nov. 6, 2007 | 1:17 AM chluaid responds:

I most definitely plan on expanding on the world of Brackenwood but this is the end of the "random day in the life" shorts, that were originally designed to get my name and story out there.

Future Brackenwood works will concentrate on the bigger picture of Brackenwood.. starting from the beginning.

Nov. 6, 2007 | 12:32 AM SpikeVallentine says:

adam, what on earth does your quote mean man?

"At the heart of a good story there's a good story."

Nov. 6, 2007 | 1:15 AM chluaid responds:

it's an intentionally nonsensical phrase that simply means 'story is everything' :)

Nov. 6, 2007 | 6:09 AM Lambinvoker says:

Wow. You have the highest score in the history of Newgrounds. As of right now you're clocking at flash score of 4.78 and a review score of 9.9. That has got to be some kind of record there! Thousands upon thousands of people look up to you everyday as a grand master of Flash; myself included. You deserve every bit of it.

How does that make you feel?

Cheers!

Nov. 6, 2007 | 6:21 AM Sonucais says:

You already deserve all the features you will win.

Nov. 6, 2007 | 9:50 AM Mylovelydame21 says:

"Waterlollies" was superb! GOD, I love your animation!
I have to ask, though... are the characters from folklore, or did you make them up? I know that Bitey is a version of Pan (half human, half goat) and of course, there's Big Foot... but what about the rest?
Also... and this might sound strange... i love your water. I've seen so many animations where the water is just blue shiny stuff. No real life to it, and it kinda disappoints me.
But you! Your water is so well-animated, I think I could drink it! You have a great artistic eye... putting that little bit extra into your animations. You add the little things that we take for granted, yet you know that someone on here will notice and have a bitch-fest over.
Well done!

Nov. 6, 2007 | 10:10 AM Mightydein says:

pretty cool and considering how long your movie is. you can easily do a movie with a storyline and your awesome art work for the graphic whores all at the same time.

most movies that put the highest emphasis on storyline, plot and character development are series flash toons and treat there movies like soap operas since the movies themselves are split into parts.

your hitch hiker movies for an example of soap opera styled flash movies since sometimes it's unrealistic to cram storyline into smaller file sized movies.

I'm actually not one to go with the crowd or be amazed by a movie just because i liked the drawings.

peace out

-Mightydein

Nov. 6, 2007 | 10:58 AM Painjester says:

who else could have been able to achive such a score ? figure that one out, it had to be another masterpiece from adam phillips.
wow, that was a perfect movie. apart from the very good animation and storyboard you are very lucky with the musicians you're capable of convincing to help you. you have a fine taste, you could aswell release a soundtrack based on your flash work. perfectly atmospherical and appropriate. to be honest, i am now only listening to "waterlollies". and it's not because of any problems with the visuals, it's only because i'm writing right now.
i recently noticed that you have also blamed yourself for not having sufficient story skills. to hell with that. i mean, we'll certainly be all happier, if you leave more place for interpreting the storyline - but the most amazing thing about your movies is their "lighness". i for example can watch it just like doing nothing. but after watching it i kinda fell better. one is just drawn into the ambience of the natural and beautiful environment. it's undescribable. but of course i'am not limiting your ambitions. i just like your movies how they already are, and i'm looking forward to next ones.
regards
alex

Nov. 6, 2007 | 11:59 AM Splurda says:

SWEET JESUS! i was expecting to come home and it be on at most 4.6 by now, like every other animation thats been rated really high, but NO!!! its an even MORE impressive score! 2.79? OMFG! if i got a score of that i'd be so happy id die of happiness :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are one talented son of a bitch!

Nov. 6, 2007 | 1:49 PM Splurda says:

http://www.newgrounds.com/rankings/ar tists < - and also when that updates you'll be #1 again :D

Nov. 6, 2007 | 3:25 PM TheMexicanMuffinMan says:

More than any other Brackenwood movie, this one had the clearest and most developed story of all. Really enjoyed it.

Nov. 6, 2007 | 7:19 PM ChuckDaKnife says:

Waterlollies was great.
And I loved your references to previous Breckenwood episodes.

Nov. 6, 2007 | 8:05 PM Deoxysmaster says:

You are amaxing and your new movie it was so good it was like sex for my eyes jk anywho i hope u make more but watertollies can hold me off until then ;)

Nov. 7, 2007 | 12:16 AM Talakara says:

Have you ever considered making an episode or movie-like sketch for brakenwood? I think it'd make a cute movie ^^;

Nov. 7, 2007 | 8:01 AM Mr-Smith says:

Man, I was so anticipated to watch Waterlollies. So, I play it, and then it says that minimum requirements would have to be 2.5 GHz, and 1 GB of Ram. That's nearly impossible for my machine, as I run on 1.2 GHz, and like 479 Ram.

So, I tried to watch it anyways. Well, my computer froze, I tried maybe 4 more times, and froze. :(! I'm so depressed that I can't see it...

Nov. 7, 2007 | 8:28 AM chluaid responds:

don't worry, I'll be making Waterlollies available in .mov format this weekend. I will announce it here and in the blog on my site.

Nov. 7, 2007 | 8:59 AM Trixiaoyu says:

OK, since I cannot PM you I will expose this here, sorry.

Concerning Waterlollies.

Hello Mr. Phillips,
Haven been a fan of your Brackenwood Series I notice that you always protect your movies from being leeched onto other websites without your permission.
I am writing to inform you about your latest installment called Waterlollies. It is not protected properly.
I regret to say that I downloaded it onto my desktop and it still played despite the fact that I saw a notice saying that it can only be viewed at Newgrounds and Biteys Castle.
You should re-check your actionscript panel again because this movie still is vulnerable to theft.
Good work on your future series and I hope this message helped!

PS: I have deleted Waterlollies from my desktop so you should not worry.

Woah I've been waiting ages for this!

One of my friends used to be skeptical about flash toons, then I showed him your stuff and he was blown away.

Your direction and animation skill is absolutely class too, you have some sort of talent when it comes to making things come alive.

I enjoyed the new movie, thought it dragged a little but it was still awesome.

I don't see how people could be bitching at you for taking too long... You don't even HAVE to make animations, those spoiled a-holes can bitch forever, not gonna spede you up any...

Waterlollies was awesome, it seemed a lot longer than the other movies, and it was a good one that kinda required you to know a lil of the backstory. But really good job, wish I could animate or draw a tenth as good as you man! Keep up the awesome movies please, don't make me wait so long again for another Adam Phillips production :(

How often throughout your day-to-day life do you use algebra, or Calculus?

i watch your BrackenWood animations and think they are absolutley fantastic. yet i feel that i watch them just to think "what is that?" by this i mean you tell a story yet with no background like take for example the creature (the yellow bird) that Bitey kicked around. i have no idea what it's name is and would like to know along with the thing little foot chased into the fields of BrackenWood, the Yuyu, and the most of all about Bitey.
you think you could tell me what they are?
oh yeah and great job on waterlollies its one of my favorites.
