Hello.
Sorry to take up your time, but I was just wondering if I could ask a few questions.

1/ I've recently been accepted into an animation course at university, and I imagine that the standard is similar to work-life. (Or at least I'd like to have my work to industry standard) Since I have no real experience in animation, is there any advice that you could tell me that would be beneficial for when I start my course in September? because for the last 2 years studying Graphic Design at college I've only learned to create static images, not moving.

2/ I, one day hope to work for Disney, or any other top rated animation firms. How did you manage to get in contact with Disney, and what did you do/show them to consider you for a placement?

3/ I realise that during my course I will have deadlines for projects. I don't know what programs I will be using, or what I will be creating. But are there any generic 'shortcuts' that you know of that will not comprimise quality of work, but drasticaly reduce the worktime? I realise that's probably not a very easy question to answer, or that it may not even have an answer to provide..

Thankyou for taking any of your time to help.
And if you wouldn't mind. Could you please reply back to my personal e-mail adress at liamsmith1990@hotmail.co.uk
Thankyou.

I know that waterlollies was really big and all... and it obviously took time to make... but whats the next flash about? And when do you think itll be released?

meh. Waterlollies was okay.

damn you sure showed how it needs to be done

Simply because you are one of the best, some people want you out? To me, that just sounds plain wrong. I agree 100% with what Tom Fulp told you. You are an inspiration for others to improve, not a hazard standing in their way of greatness.

Im glad you wont remove your flash form Newgrounds, yet saddened to find out that Waterlollies was the last Brackenwood flash. Looking forward to the film, whenever it will come. I would pay good money for a dvd collection of all your previous Brackenwoods and then some extra content (maybe those 30 shorts in 30 days), just a thought.

Oh, and why havent you put BrackenSack onto Newgrounds?
That would be nice!

Oh yeah! And a very delicious congratulations on your NG award. Nobody deserves it more than you!

You really do deserve the 1st NG tank award Adam, and I hope more Brackenwood movies take future awards!
I was amazed when you said "I developed my skills in my own time. Disney hired me because of this." I always thought that you had some kind of uncanny ability to draw anything and everything.

Hey whats up you really deserved that newgrounds tank award and thank you for giving me a great video to inspire me. At first I never really was on newgrounds much and didn't do much with the community and didn't know much about it and only got on it for games I couldn't find in other places but you work was one of the ones that inspired me to make my own flash(which I started out getting mine blammed then I started getting better and taking my time on a game thats almost finished which is good I guess) it also made me stay with the community and start to vote on flash and other things. Waterlollies is one of the best flash ive seen and lots of stuff I didn't even know you could do with flash. Thank you for giving me good flash and inspiring me to live up to you work and other peoples work alike and make me own. So you deserve all of the awards don't let the people let you leave don't ever leave and let them get you down they are just jelous(Gah can't spell) about your amazing flash skills. Good job and keep up the good work.

Hey, I saw your work, and I just want to say it's pretty amazing.

But I came here to ask for your help with Flash CS3. I've been using flash on and off for about 3 or 4 years, but I haven't really been trying anything new. I am somewhat new to Actionscript as well. I can do simple scripts with 2.0 like play button scripts, etc, but nothing advanced (ie: make symbol go left when left arrow is pushed). I wanted to ask you, where did you learn all your Actionscript skills, and your animation skills (ie: running, jumping, walking)? Is there a website? Or a book, or did you learn it on your own time? Sorry but I have a couple more questions, haha. How do you make things blur, like a gaussian blur or something? And, do you use symbols alot?

Thanks man, sorry for all the questions, and good work on your work.

-schmeeble

i had to teach myself flash and i am still workin on my first but i got help from pikanjo

Amazing work and congratulations! I wish I had skills like you. Do you think you could make a tutorial on how you create your drawings and animations? It would help all of us here at newgrounds out a lot.

nice you earned it but are you going to make more Brackenwood movie if so when do you think the next one will come out because they are my favorit flashes on newgrounds

Two things, you should upload the Bingbong Of Brankenwood onto Newgrounds. If you did, well I can't find it. Also, you should give Bitey sprites to Aaron Worrall (NegativeONE) so he could be in Newgrounds Rumble. People love that game and wants Bitey to be in it. And oh yeah, this may not be a good comment because I didn't even read your thing yet. It's too long. This is just a way to tell you that Bitey should be in Newgrounds Rumble.

RIGHT YOU WORKED 4 DISNEY? 1 QUESTION WHAT THE HELL ARE U DOING MAKIN FLASH FOR NG WHEN U CUD CLEARLY BE OUT THER MAKINA MINT UR LIKE 50TIMES MORE TALKENTED THAN ANOYONE ELSE HERE ON NG

Congrats, you deserve the award

And also you are very dedicated and hard working, as you can see from your story and it ashould be a insporation to anyone including me of course! :D

well i just wanted to ask if you could make a video on how your main character grew up and his life story is because me and my friends have been wondering why he is mean sorta to every 1 else if you can or cant just message it would be helpful to know

What kind program(s) do you use? Cause I'm a newbie at flash and currently playing around with it and I watched those flashes of yours with Bitey(The brown hair faced one with horns) and I know it's unusual to see that kind of graphics and animation quality was way Nicer than I see in others in newgrounds. I would like to know how you do that and I know it's not easy to do that kind of work :P

How could anyone think it's unfair for someone to win something because he's talented? I thought that's WHY people win things?

But yeah. more Brackenwood shorts? Lovely. I probably wouldn't make any flash cartoons if it wasn't for you (though, uh, I haven't put any up yet. But in time).

Your animation skill are the best! By the way, are the waterlollies explosives or something? I dont really understand thoe bubbles...

i'm amazed that bitey ain't on tv. him and his series is actually better than some cartoons i've seen on the idiot box.
