done!
Guess what! No need for a Waterlollies graph this week because I've finished all of the animation. The final scene was difficult, time-consuming and complicated.. but heaps of fun (you'll see why sooner or later).
When the music is finished I'll announce the release here and on the forum. There's also a little matter of the actionscripted effects that are still being worked on, but I anticipate it to be finished before the music. I hope to release on or before September 20, but as it's now in the hands of other people, I can't say for sure.
The movie is generously sponsored by Newgrounds so I'll also be submitting it there a day or two after it's live on biteycastle.com.

Next project!
Bernard Derriman and I are working together on a freelance job (for television) using ToonBoom Digital Pro - the latest and most awesomest version of ToonBoom Solo. Bernard has been using Solo for a few months now and will be helping me learn the ropes, trying to get me up to speed quickly enough to be useful on this project. Who knows..? Maybe the next Brackenwood will be my first non-Flash movie :O
More Brackenwood
I have a few ideas for my next Brackenwood project, which will break away from the "random scenario" pattern of stories and focus more on the bigger Brackenwood picture. Bitey had to come from somewhere right? Why is Brackenwood so sparsely populated? Where did everyone go so suddenly and without warning? Why has Bitey grown up wild and completely alone?
These questions will be answered if I'm forced to continue making internet episodes. I say "forced" because ideally the Brackenwood feature film is next on the agenda. Therefore (and it's a sad, yet exciting thought) it's possible that there won't be another web episode of Brackenwood.
If that worries you, I hope you take comfort knowing that a Brackenwood feature film is what I've been leading up to all these years and will be better, more complete and more satisfying than all the internet episodes put together.

Launch It! Challenge
Today was probably the first Sunday in months that actually felt like a Sunday to me. As a nice break from animation, I made a video showing how to make a small slingshot with piano-wire. It's my entry into the Launch It! Challenge on instructables.com so drop by and take a look at my instructable. Don't hurt yourself!
Here's the video.. the audio is by French band 'The Hush Puppies'. I bought their CD after hearing them play live at Annecy, France in 2006.

Speaking of slingshots
I've posted a human slingshot in the past, but when you watch my YouTube how-to video, this other video comes up in the 'Related' column. The term "crazy bastards" comes to mind.
Seeya!

AWESOME ADAM.
Oh, and it's good that waterlollies is done too. =D
That is one sweet slingshot, although some may call your obsession "Disturbing" don't listen to them.
Glad to hear you're taking it easy now, I know what it's like to work on something for ages, then when it's done, it's great to put your feet up.
that is pretty
bloody
AMAZINGGG
so no more brackenwood episodes now, but, after a feature film wouldnt u want to produce more episodes?
i know thats waaay too far ahead but..... FOO
Congratulations on Waterlollies!
I know it's a wonderfull feeling indeed, when you make something for a long time, and after you done it you feel like a bird - FREE ATLAST!!
I want to feel this feeling too, cuz i'm also making one tough animation, and hope to finish in 2-3 weeks....
Hope to see Waterlollies very soon, and the Brackenwood feature film even sooner))
ohh nice... it's done... I can't wait to see it...
why don't you put at the same time on Newgrounds and BiteyCastle that may halp you with the movie score on Newgrounds...
It have to be on first place
A tear of joy came running down my cheek. Waterlollies, yay! Hey, Adam, do you storyboard directly onto the flash stage, something like you did with the slingshot video? I'd really love it if the Brackenwood franchise takes off. Best of luck!
Hey great work! you know what I think would actually be really smart? so, say you want to work on the feature film right? the best way to do that, is someway go into the future, put the FLA onto a disc, bring it to the past and then, YOU HAVE IT!
So your gonna start working with Toon Boom eh? It'd be lovely if you could do some tutorials on it (once you master it of course). I'm a Toon Boom wannabee, and some video tutorials would really help me out. Good luck with the feature film by the way, you definetly deserve one. :3
So excited.
I was in suspense as my internet loaded your blog at the words "Done" I was ready for a release but now it's still in me!
This is a little off topic but your musical choices are superb. Since I've read your blog I've bought 4 Pouges & 1 Ween album.(I already had all Radiohead)
TB is do different from flash.
I had several attempts trying to learn to use it but every time I said , why am I looking for something that flash is already capable of.
the pegs and the cams work great with TB but the UI is doll and nothing like easy to use.
there are so few tutorials for tb comparing to flash, maybe this is the reason why I`ve always quit trying to learn TB.
adam, if you find tb better than flash please let me know.
I`m damn curios.
goodluck.

Dude, congrats on finishing waterlollies. ^_^ Cant wait to see it in all of its glory,
Good to hear that your taking it easy now too. so.. yeah... Toon Boom eh ?
Im actually looking for a good number of animation programs for my next computer based upgrade, so I shall look into that.
Yeah, and just as I'm getting the hang of Flash, the good guys switch to TB. The worst part; I don't like it. Damn it!
You, sir are a crazy mofo!...wait!..um, I meant sexy! Sexy mofo!..I say that with an unblemished record of staunch hetero-sexuality. (not counting that one time in band-camp...).
:O
FILTHY!!
thanks for the comments allbodies!
By way of a mini-update, actionscript guy is almost finished.
Huzzah!!! I can't wait to see it. You are a gift to humanity. This merits a good pint.
I can't wait. I hope as busy as you are, you'll be able to do your flash tutorial too.
BTW: I tried to register at the forums, and i never heard back from you. I know you're busy, but wanted to make sure you didn't think i was a spambot or something. heh.
This is what we all been waiting for, im sure we'll collapse the bandwitch of the host when it's released!!
Glad for you, let's hope this to be as amazing or even more than your previous work!!!!
Waiting to the expected premiere!!!!
;D
P.S: i didn't put much effort to my english, so it may be half understandable.... sorry :P
Haha, it was fun watching your YouTube video on how to make the slingshot. And is that you at the end? I have to say, you're kinda cute!
And "crazy bastards" is exactly what I thought when I saw the second video. Man, I can't believe they got launched that high!
GET BACK TO WORK
*breaks out the whip*
Very excited about Waterlollies.
And cool slingshot.
I like your Walt Disney shirt. (that's what it looked like it said in the slingshot video)
exelent Adam, no longer I can hope to see Waterlollies
CONGRATS ADAM! Now you can finally have abit of rest *hugs*
