I used the few days I had over the long weekend to make a short for the Bytesize player. There's a ton of great pieces on there (Stamper's dance academy is my favorite) and I hope mine will have a shot at making it in there. It looks like it needs an update pretty badly, all the news is at least a month old so maybe mine might get thrown in with the next update.
Anyways, I realized that a lot of the ideas I had would be perfectly suited for Bytesize so I might make more in the future, they're really fun to make and get done pretty quickly - plus it's the perfect place to blow off steam. Here it is for your viewing pleasure after that solid paragraph of text, this kind of thing is good practice for lip syncing and sort of streamlining the flash making process so it was weird zipping through this after fumbling with the lip syncing and all the fuckin layers I had in the last movie I made.
On a side note I discovered this little guy today, it was daily feature or something in 2005 and I realized that the guy who made this also made that "Cigarette" movie back in 2005 which is also worth a watch (even though I don't really understand it). So I was clicking around his userpage and it turns out the last time he submitted something was in 2005, it's weird seeing someone make all these great movies and be involved with NG then just kind of move on to other things. There's been a few people that have gone missing lately - where the hell is Shawn Hollern?
*Edit: Nevermind, found him. Still kind of weird though?

Yeah I can totally understand the moving on thing, I guess I just meant to comment on how weird it looks when they have all these great movies from the past and now they're account is just kind of sitting dormant. They just become a part of NG history I guess?
