Fierras's News

Posted by Fierras - June 24th, 2008


Right now I'm a bit anxious. Why, you ask? Well in about two hours i'm getting the results from last schoolyear.

For my final jury I made an animation called 'hard boiled egg' which I submited earlier to newgrounds.

My first project was a 16min action/adventure animation called 'Root' which I had already storyboarded and the animatic was already done as well.
Tomamoto and other non-ng related voice actors recorded all the lines for the animation. Some friends also joined to make backgrounds and help with colouring. But when the time came to start animating they told me the project was just too big and that I should make something smaller.

I got kinda derailed at that point. I was really excited about the project and going all the way to get it done. The unexpected deviation made my mind go blank for a couple of days. The only thing I could think about at that point was the effort I had put into the animation and the people I got involved in the project that I had let down. Or at least it felt that way.

After a week or so I started playing around with some idea's, making small storyboard sketches and puzzling around with them. But there wasn't anything that got me satisfied enough to go all the way.

Then one day I was on the train and the idea for 'hard boiled egg' came in one swoop.

I made the storyboard and animatic relatively quickly about 2-3 days
And with the rest of the time I got till the deadline I just used to experiment and mess around.

And that's the story of how this animation came to existence.

Now i'm off to school, seeya guys.

Hi guys,

In a couple of hours I have to pitch a story for a potential series, and to show my skills I made a small demo reel. I would really appreciate comments as i'm still moving some stuff around atm.

Hi guys,

A while back I made an animation called 'Emulation'. At that time I was feeling a bit down and the animation was my way of getting over what was bothering me. It could be considered a form of therapy. I'm sure that most people have their own "ritual" to release stress like doing a sport or having lots and lots of sex. Anyway, 'Emulation' is in my opinion the best thing i've made so far and i'm hoping that more people will be able to enjoy it as it has been kept in the dark for some time now. To watch it you can click on the link below.

Hello mr and/or mss,

For some months now, i've been looking for someone with the needed actionscripting skills to help me make house of mouse interactive. But because of deadlines I had to drop my original goal of turning this into an interactive series.

Animating a character like that takes toomuch time, and time is something there isn't much of when in college. The first part is currently on the front page of Ng and you can view it here.

If you see potential in the series and are interested in colaborating on the next one please contact me through PM (We could both benefit from this :) )

regards,

Julio

I don't know if many people know about this, but there is a website where you can help people that are starving by guessing words on the website. For every right answer you give, they donate 20 grains of rice and other things like salt, sugar and oil. They get the money to do this from the adds that you see on the bottom of each page. And the websites name is www.freerice.com

I just thought it was worth mentioning this as it can help many people in need.

regards,

Julio
