December's Arrival and Focus to Parodies

Posted by ElectroJoe - November 30th, 2013


Thank heavens I've finally got that flower animation done! (Watch Here - http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/629317) I can finally take a brief break from animation and focus on finishing final projects in college. I was hoping I could get this out sooner, but the middle of October gave me a butt-ton of work which absolutely put me to a halt with the animation. I decided to focus more on my work and wait until the year calmed down for me. I finally got back to work early this November and finished everything over the thanksgiving break. Not my best fall semester, but he, at least I submitted a solid animation before the year was up.

Originally, I planned to do a Digimon animation right after the flower animation, but I feel that will have to wait. I'm having some trouble deciding how to parody Digimon (I've got a basic parody plot, but still thinking of solid jokes), and I feel I need to parody more familiar franchises for now. I've been hearing form many animators that It's best to start out with parody animations and then move into original work once you've got a solid audience and have enough practice in animating. I don't want to say I don't like making original work, because I do. I enjoy it strongly and want to continue to make more in the future, with a distant dream of creating my own series, once I have the technology, sources and experience to do so.

I feel 2014 will be the year where I focus on making parody work. I'll still be putting in the same amount of work as I usually do for my animation. Several parody ideas have been constantly going through my head and I feel now is the time to express them. The Brainscratch animation and the Pokemon X and Y animations, while parodies, don't exactly work as full out parodies for me with the Brainscratch one being an animation to commentary and the X and Y animation I felt was more of an experiment with parodies and dragged a bit. However, I still plan on making more original work next year though, with a few I'm thinking of next year involving college projects.

My next animation likely will be a parody of Sonic The Hedgehog and Miley Cyrus. I've found a unique and silly way to combined the two, so it's certainly possible ;). If that's not first, then I'll will probably be another commentary animation. I got a lot of nice feedback on my Youtube channel and I certainly would like to thank the feedback by doing another. I still plan on doing the Hellbenders animation, though that won't be released on Newgrounds for reasons I'll specify later.

Anyways, I'm happy where I am, the year is going out strongly and I plan on coming out of the fall semester of college successful.

I might make an update after I finish my finals, on my plans for animations I'm siting on, so until next time, take care!

I think that would be great if sonic and Miley would be together in a parody.

It's been a while, how've you been? Sry, totally missed saying Merry Christmas... but, Happy New Year!

I've been great (or gr8) Vicarious! How have you been? I've been preparing for spring semester for college and internship stuff. I'm currently making the Sonic/Miley animation I mentioned in the current post, and while it's going a tad slowly, the quality of the work has been meeting my expectations and I hope to have it out by the end of January/ middle of February. I'll be making a post about the year coming up (and a bit of a reflection for my work last year). Hope you enjoyed your Christmas and Happy New Year!

How have I been? I'm an old man, no wife, job or kids... it's an uphill battle to be sure. Really glad to hear you're on track with your life, just remember to be happy somewhere in between!
