Waterlollies on YouTube

Posted by chluaid Nov. 8, 2007 @ 10:38 PM EST

If you've been having trouble viewing Waterlollies at 25fps, you can now see it on YouTube:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=pCxPEB-uu20

Unfortunately the quality isn't anywhere near what I'd like it to be but hey, that's YouTube I guess. My SWF to Video capture software also drops the occasional frame but all things considered, it's not bad at all. Feel free to embed and share it :)

Very cool. I don't know why, but animation always seems so much more impressive when watched on YouTube.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:10 AM chluaid responds:

that YouTube version of Waterlollies has a bit of frame-skipping here and there, so some of the really nice singles animation is lost. I'll update YouTube with a better version soon anyway.


Nov. 9, 2007 | 1:52 AM Shintoku says:

I've noticed, in your responses to people not liking bitey's outlook on life, that you keep saying something is going to happen to him that changes that. Is this going to be the plot of an upcoming brackenwood adventure? Maybe in the movie?

P.S. Outstanding work, by the way. I can't believe you do this using flash.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:11 AM chluaid responds:

thanks for the feedback.. can't really tell you anything about upcoming stories but needless to say, I'm a bit sick of my scores suffering because of the stories, so the next thing I submit to NG is going to be bullet-proof and rock solid :)


Nov. 9, 2007 | 2:12 PM hiii111 says:

Hi, you know like everyone do....Cristmas is near us...and i REALLY want a tablet for cristmasXD

what tablet are you using for your awesome movies: Brackenwood?

p.s your awesome at flash.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:12 AM chluaid responds:

I use a Wacom Intuos 3, 9x12
I wanna get a Cintiq eventually but they're bloody expensive.


Nov. 9, 2007 | 4:24 PM Anigen says:

I'd say it looks just as good. The amazing animation's all still there.

Great work anyways.


Nov. 9, 2007 | 5:26 PM DikkopStudios says:

AH MAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Why is the score dropping?!?!? Who the hell is voting 0 all the time! It went from 4.79 to 4.76 and now 4.74!


Nov. 10, 2007 | 12:42 AM godsondagger says:

the score-dropping has been happening a lot lately it's mostly people who like Tankmen Voting zero cause they want it to be number one same thing happened in sonic Nazo Unleashed , but eventually this'll get a lot of votes and those cunts really won't be able to affect the score much

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:20 AM chluaid responds:

yeah same thing happens with every movie on NG though.. haters vote it down and fans 5 it every day. I reckon a good indicator is the score 1 year later.

If you noted the score of every movie that's been in the top 50 for a year or more, it'd be interesting to see the rankings. There's a point at which the weight of numbers shows the true score.


Nov. 10, 2007 | 3:27 AM ZekeySpaceyLizard says:

youtube really need to lessen the blurryness of their stewf.


Nov. 10, 2007 | 6:17 AM Splurda says:

i came, nuff said.


Nov. 10, 2007 | 3:35 PM Smashedsmurf says:

I love you, seriously. You're the best.


Nov. 10, 2007 | 4:19 PM Splurda says:

oh yeah, ive been meaning to ask you something, how do you make your movies look so crips? when i make movies they seem to look alot messier, do you use the pencil tool, the brush, i know you use a wacom, which is probably part of why it looks neater, since im stuck with a stone age trust tablet, how long do you spend on each frame?

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:05 AM chluaid responds:

yep I use the brush. I draw with the smoothing (in the Properties panel) set to 20. Then, when I've finished the entire drawing and filled it with the paint bucket, I optimise it to smooth it out. Modify > Shape > Optimize.

It makes the line work look nice and smooth, and it also lowers the file size by 70% at least.


Nov. 10, 2007 | 11:55 PM Dookiemaister says:

so do you make all these episodes using flash? the art is simply amazing.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:06 AM chluaid responds:

thanks! Yep it's all Flash.


Nov. 11, 2007 | 7:52 AM Abolesco says:

Out of interest, are you still working on an animation help book?

I'd like to know some dates and stuff, cause it's something i'd like to buy.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:08 AM chluaid responds:

no that book was cancelled. I finished and delivered my part of the book, and I was in author-review stage (where the editor requests changes), but my co-author got busy on other stuff and O'Reilly decided to can it. Bit of a shame really, I was thinking about buying back my chapters from them (cos they paid me for the work I'd done) so that I can release them on my site... a bit outdated now, as I was writing it back when Flash 8 first came out.


Nov. 11, 2007 | 9:49 AM joe633 says:

You have talent man. Your flashes r amazing. How long did it take you to do your masterpieces?

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:08 AM chluaid responds:

anywhere between 8 and 14 weeks, depending on the complexity of the movie. Waterlollies was 12 weeks or so.


Nov. 11, 2007 | 4:37 PM alicetheDroog says:

If you don't leave a response, I'll be very sad.

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:09 AM chluaid responds:

cheer up.


Nov. 11, 2007 | 7:46 PM ColdBlade says:

Hey, been a fan of your video's. Thought I should writte to ya directly instead of posting comments on your 4 clips lol. First off, I love the creativity and unique style of your characters, there personalities are unque also. The music is really good. And the mood set in your video's are joyfull to watch, no over the top action, no sexual contents, no surprise appearance of celebreties. Its just unique, like a J.R.R Tolken Lord of the rings. So in other words I should say I give you my hat on your unique video. It deserves A big 11 out of 10.

Good job really, keep it up. Lata

Nov. 12, 2007 | 7:09 AM chluaid responds:

thanks mate :D


Nov. 12, 2007 | 12:12 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

You saythat you are a bit sick of your scores suffering because of the story's. waterlollies has the highest score i have ever seen, with a better story i don't know what it will be like !!. well, hopefully you will get a nice score of 5 (untill someone gets jealous and gives it a 0 (those idiots annoy me)). good luck.


Nov. 12, 2007 | 12:18 PM DikkopStudios says:

4.69....
It has gone down from 4.79 to 4.69.... what the hell is going on... what the HELL!? Seriously man, I think the NG guys bring it down cuz this is just too high.. there can't really be THAT much ppl that hate your movies? I mean comon... 0.10 down.. that means that every day like 50 ppl vote 0... IMPOSSIBLE!


Nov. 12, 2007 | 3:12 PM senior-twinki says:

I've read people commenting on how Bitey's a jerk, but if you think about since this is the wild animals kind of have to fend for themselves and not think about others.


Nov. 12, 2007 | 4:19 PM Coolio-Niato says:

I like the youtube version for the fact that I can watch your awesome flick full-screen. Im still amazed by the great character designs you create, they are so different but fitting into the brackenwood story/world (eg. that random bottom feeder that bitey swam by when escaping the hornets). Anyway, great stuff =)


Nov. 12, 2007 | 9:47 PM GooeyChicken says:

How do you do all this? Its amazing! and in prowlies at the river (sorry if i messpeld it) you said that ther ewas a url to do the camra? And you animation is so good i gave every one a 10/10. I wish it would go higher.

Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:18 AM chluaid responds:

thanks for the tens :)
The URL for the vCam is on the 'Quality Select' screen of Prowlies. Hover your mouse over the fuzzy white bugs and you'll see a link, which you can copy and paste.


Nov. 12, 2007 | 11:58 PM notorious says:

hey Adam i saw your response about the Cintiq tablet thing. Is that a tablet PC sort of like this?

http://www.ixbt.com/editorial/images/
itogi/itogi2k2-may/TabletPC2_H.jpg

if so, since that's a computer and tablet in one, you could probably just sell your tablet and computer now and just get that. I'm asking for one myself for christmas :)

Nov. 13, 2007 | 7:17 AM chluaid responds:

A Cintiq is a monitor that has tablet functionality built in so you can draw on it, but it's not a computer in itself. Tablet PCs are awesome for portability, but the monitor/tablet area is quite small like a laptop, so I think I'd only really use it for doing animation on a long flight or train trip.


Nov. 13, 2007 | 11:37 AM Splurda says:

oh yeah , those tablet moniters are what the people at the simpsons use, i was trying to remember the name, cintiqs, cus i saw it on some making of the simpsons thing, that'd be really handy.


Nov. 13, 2007 | 2:12 PM godsondagger says:

Hey man It's me again thx for answering me and yah 1 year later the score is where it was supposed to be , but really it's all the Tankmen Fanboys when Sonic Nazo unleashed cam out it got downvoted to 4.12 anything else that gets close also gets downvoted.

Also I think you should release the 30 days 30 shorts here.
it would be awesome.

Also I had this Idea to make a big interactive Castle where you go into certain rooms to watch certain movies i.e.Waterlollies or Yuyu ect.
And if you used an external loader the size would only be like 2 mb.
You could call it bitey castle it could have all your work in it and maybe a special toon at the top room where you are :)
Well if you think that's a good idea then PM me if you need help with the External loading


Nov. 13, 2007 | 4:12 PM deathmourn1336 says:

as answer toy our question on newgrounds. i just could not feel the movie and it just did not make me into it though it was good i just did not feel it so therefore i couldnt connect so i did not like it


Nov. 13, 2007 | 5:44 PM MakoSucks says:

Waterlollies was amazing! Perfect screengrab by the way lol.


Nov. 14, 2007 | 2:40 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

Every time i post on a userpage with a lack of sleep i look like an idiot ...


Nov. 14, 2007 | 2:53 PM Emanhattan says:

hello philips. hey I love your movies, and since you are responding to all comments I was wondering if you would respond this one.
see. I loved the yuyu, in particular. and I was hoping you could give me the audio file you used in it. just for pleasure and ipode hearing. Im not planning to use it on a flash.


Nov. 14, 2007 | 4:32 PM sykododo says:

your skills are getting better. I just wish I could be as you, I want to ask you some questions: number 1: is ther going to be another movie and if yes, when? number 2: where did you get the idea for the whole of brakenwood? and the last question
question 3: why are you too good!! its getting on my nerves!!


Nov. 14, 2007 | 7:45 PM MagicDragon190 says:

Can I be in your "Contact List"? I would really like to talk to you :)


Nov. 16, 2007 | 2:05 AM senior-twinki says:

your movies are terrible!! terribly awesome! ;D


Nov. 16, 2007 | 12:48 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

I was just looking at waterlollies, and the two reviews shown were both saying that it was bad... i can't believe it, there has been no better animation from flash that i have seen ......


Nov. 16, 2007 | 8:24 PM chiog1 says:

it dosnt matter about the quality ,you do your best on each episode and it looks amazing


Nov. 17, 2007 | 1:52 AM eyerecon says:

The youtube makes the artwork slightly pixely when watched on you tube and takes away from the fantastic art you've drawn. Hey, the 9 by 11 tablet has a screen on the tablet right? All i have is 4 by 6 wacom.

p.s. my friend and I were ripping are hair out until W.L. came out.


Nov. 17, 2007 | 8:31 AM Splurda says:

another question lol: on that transdermal celebration music video you made, is that how brackenwood started?


Nov. 17, 2007 | 5:59 PM Adzy-2k6 says:

I think the story in transdermal celebration and brackenwood are completely unrelated ( unless adam says otherwise )


Nov. 18, 2007 | 12:41 AM GunnerRecall says:

Bask in your (digital) golden metals Adam Phillips, bask.lol great works. Waterlollies is no exception :)

Nov. 18, 2007 | 7:20 PM NOBU777 says:

I thought that image quality was inferior to be sure although the image was seen by YouTube. However, I think that the world which you draw is so very wonderful that it is compensated. Especially, he feels fineness for expression of a feeling of air, depiction of water surface waterdrop, depiction of action, various kinds of special effects, and each work, and admires them truly. It respects.
Please prize the body from now on and strive for manufacture.


Nov. 20, 2007 | 6:37 PM Kimekoe says:

hello,
i'm a young flash creator, that dreams one day i'll create amazing flashs for everyone to enjoy. You have captured my heart with your amazing flashs, i much know you are very busy and may not want to spend any time reading my message, but if you do consider to read, may you please anwser my few questions. First i wish to know what program you use to create your flashs, i much know it must be flash media, but is there a more advanced program that you use? question 2, do you use a drawing board. As i mean one of those boards you connect to your computer, so you can draw by, one the board, instead of mouse work. Those are all the questions i will ask, because i do not wish to bother you even more then i have, i am guesses that you may get many messages with questions.
I'd much appreciate a reply, so one day i can fill one's heart with wonder,
signed,
Kim
p.s. i hope i'm not harrassing you with this message.


Nov. 21, 2007 | 11:34 AM Splurda says:

this is newgrounds, you dont need fancy talk! i can answer those questions:

#1 for all his movies so far he used adobe flash ( www.adobe.com ) but i beleive he is now using toonboom digital pro.

#2 the "drawing board" is called a tablet, and he uses a Wacom Intuos 3, 9x12, (which is a good one)


Nov. 22, 2007 | 9:17 PM kornisgod666 says:

hey just curious but why is your level so low.:)


Nov. 24, 2007 | 10:42 AM alicetheDroog says:

Oh, now I feel a bit better.

*sniffle*


Nov. 25, 2007 | 7:33 AM Raggers says:

Hey nice one for putting it on youtube! However if you want your movie in amazing quality and at 25fps for everyone to enjoy put it on stage6.com you'll have to render it out as a very high quality DivX file but I'm sure flash is capable of that. Just an idea as it would look incredible full screen!


Nov. 27, 2007 | 5:16 PM cuffers says:

where can i download the song for the yu-yu?


Nov. 28, 2007 | 5:27 PM The-evil-bucket says:

Ugh, Youtube, streaming at it's worst. Plus, Waterlollies has great graphics, I'd rather just break my computer than view it at that quality.


Nov. 28, 2007 | 10:13 PM theblackwindsrising says:

OMG Adam you're 5 Exp Points from level 4! Go go go go go!

Also I've noticed an increase in detail with each new Brackenwood tale. The environments are amazingly well done. Keep doing what you're doing!
tl;dr: I worship you. :D


Nov. 29, 2007 | 9:03 AM Dks60 says:

Watrlollies is cool ! Have you got a idea for next Part ?


Nov. 29, 2007 | 9:04 AM Dast says:

What inspirated you to make Bitey ?


Nov. 29, 2007 | 1:52 PM Kaytee says:

waterlollies is great :D


Dec. 2, 2007 | 4:57 AM joe633 says:

<3 For you Adam, nice animation. JUST PUT A STORY LINE SO I CAN GIVE IT A 10 AS IT DESERVES!


Dec. 3, 2007 | 5:51 PM Heritik says:

i really like the brackenwood videos there really good :)


Dec. 4, 2007 | 9:49 PM tobecuba says:

WATERLOLLIES HAS THE BEST ART I'VE EVER SEEN, THE BACKROUNDS, THE CHARACTERS, ALL HAS AN INCREDIBLE ART THAT IS NEARLY PERFECTION
CONGRATULATIONS FOR THAT
DO MORE OF BITEY, IT'S REALLY FUNNY AND FAST

BEST LUCK
:)

dang, ive been on newgrounds a while and ive heard of this little series, it never interested me though, yesterday i watched 1, and watched the rest today and im so glad i did, u have mad skills in flash, simply amazing, i know its been said 1000 times but, great job on these.


Dec. 9, 2007 | 10:59 AM Thebunniebrothers says:

Dec. 11, 2007 | 3:27 AM fillup0 says:

Yay! I can now watch it!

I thought I would never be able to watch it because of my stone age PC, and you actually recorded it with sound? You have a PC of awesomness, even on youtube it looks amazing, and if it looks much better on flash, it must be super awsomely amazing.


Dec. 12, 2007 | 10:12 AM shrek4455 says:

are you going to make any more of this
becaues its the best looking i think on new grounds and it is funny at bits
i dont know why i like this so much


Dec. 13, 2007 | 8:53 PM Roastmasters says:

I cant beleive you donated your winnings to the other winners

I love you


Dec. 13, 2007 | 9:55 PM rtil says:

i don't think you should have released it on youtube. the reduction of quality youtube streaming imposes on animation is embarassing.


Dec. 14, 2007 | 3:18 PM SilverDragon42 says:

You my friend are my favorite author!!! You rock!!!!!


Dec. 14, 2007 | 4:35 PM HellishShadow666 says:

I don't know if anyone hs asked yet but are you ever going to upload bing-bong of brakenwood? I think it's worth it, especially since it's already done.


Dec. 16, 2007 | 2:00 AM RockLou says:

Hey Adam, you helped doing the V camera, right? Do you know a way to ... say if I wanted a scene selection, or pause button always in the right corner while the movie is showing. That was originally what I wanted, but because of the V camera, it moves around and is off screen sometimes. How can I add it onto the V camera movie clip? Because it doesn't work to simply put it there on a new layer. The script somehow removes it. If you don't know how, can you link me to someone who knows this?


Dec. 16, 2007 | 5:13 AM Splurda says:

Do you use toonboom or flash?
I heard people say that you use toonboom.
If you do use it, how do you import the toonboom movies onto newgrounds?

I hope you read this....


Dec. 21, 2007 | 8:09 PM kingkillah says:

If I suck your dick will I gain your amazing animation powers? No but seriously you are amazing, I can't believe someone could make this with flash. What did you do when you where working at Disney?

Adam Phillips is second to none. Have been a fan for a long time and my only fault with Adam and his work..is that he doesnt produce them fast enough..LOL. I guess quality takes time eh? Great stuff Adam..longtime fan. Peace. By the way,I wish you could get a regular television gig or a full length feature. Your imagination and beautiful scenes are breathtaking.

Hi! I tried sending you a private message earlier about BrackenWood DVD's. But, it said you only accepted messages from users in Your Contacts. But, since I'm new here, I hope THIS works. I REALLY enjoy your BrackenWood shorts. You're brilliant. I love your work. I don't want to hound you or anything, but, are there, by any chance, BrackenWood DVD's? If so, I would happy to buy one, seeing as I am such a fan. I checked out the BiteyCastle Store and all I saw were shirts. So, I didn't know if you had already made DVD's or something. Alright. I'm sure you're probably busy right now, so, I'll leave. Please reply back when necessary! ^-^

If I were to vote on this, I would say you were the greatest flash animater of all time. I dont understand how anyone could possibly let their sweaty hands blurt out any comments about anything negitive in your animations... Thankyou for blessing this planet with your brilliant mind and mind boggling skills.
