I released the second part to the "Day of the Time" shorts.

Go check it out! :D

I should also have another animation out in a few days since I'm one away from have making 20 this year! (Bringing my total count up to 40! - Which is 24 less than Knox DUN DUN DUN)

I also gave my voice in both Lino's and Chris Palmieri's Christmas animations so also check those two out if you feel like watching some quality animations!

Merry 12/27/07 everyone!

New short.

Enjoy!

It's a two parter. The next one shall be out in a week or two followed by a Christmas special :)

I released a new short yesterday (Balloon - just click the little thingy somewhere on my profile to show my submissions to find it.) which means I'm closer to my goal of 20 shorts this year (to match last year).

Yay!

So there we go xD

I also redesigned my site, kinda (More of a technical update, but I updated the graphics, too) so if you're interested, you can check it out at www.blaktornado.com.

For those of you who saw my video, Clayground - Actually the other week, well, you're in luck! (If you liked it, that is!)

A new short is going through the Flash Portal RIGHT THIS SECOND and you have a chance to determine the ending of this gripping two parter!

Go watch it! :D

Feedback is the best thing in the world. Seriously. It's GREAT. I released a new short today, after finally getting off my backside and getting round to doing stuff (It's the influence of my new iMac, I swear!) and now I'm sat back looking at the reviews for the fourth video I've released in a month. I'm glad I'm finally back into the swing of things, and what's more rewarding than seeing a score around 3.5 and a bunch of good reviews? Personally, there is nothing better for me than seeing that (well, maybe a daily award, but I don't aim for those anymore since it's pointless getting my hopes up, haha.)
Anyway, I'm looking at them and I'm just pleased and amazed at how far I've come. I look at my list of submissions; my oldest having a score of 1.95... 1.95... Those crazy Easter days of 2006 where I was new to claymation... When I actually TRIED to make funny animations... Nowadays, I put in the odd thing and hope it would get a laugh but I don't try to make my shorts funny. People say "Wow, that was hilarious!" and I think they're insane, haha. I've even seen people literally laugh out loud at my animations... and I don't. It's crazy. But then again, I wouldn't want to laugh at my own material since that would give me false hope and a higher ambition than I already have... hmmm... Talk talk talk. Yabbering and a jabbering on.
So, anyway, methinks I'll start work on another animation soon. I'm determined not to have less than 40 by December because, well, I REALLY want to keep a steady rate of them up, unlike a certain animator who does them when he feels like and, recently, is often never... yet he's still amazingly famous and worshipped :P

Ah well, in his absence, the new generations can take his place, haha. I've probably been writing too much so I'll end it now.

In conclusion, feedback is AWESOME and I love it. I think most people do. Thanks for your time! haha.

Finally, the Newgrounds redesign is here! I'm amazed by it! Sure, it may not be a huge step away from the old design but, then again, it is. I'm thrilled with all the new features and exciting new things that have been added and I'm glad that I've finally worked out how to use the new Flash Portal! (I kept clicking in the boxes and it stopped it from working. I don't know why but it did, for some reason.)
I cannot wait for the finished thing! (And hopefully some much-needed attention to the Clay Collection? *hint, hint*) Now, enough on Newgrounds and now onto me, me, me, me, me! Hehe.
I released my new short today, titled 'We're Transformers Too!' It's a bit of a tribute to the new 'Transformers' movie that I haven't actually seen yet (I was meant to release my short on the 4th of July but the idea of the Flash Portal being crowded with 'Independence Day' submissions made me steer clear... and then I procrastinated largely and didn't get it finished until today, 18th July 2007). I do not know it's score as of yet, but 'm hoping it will be adequate, to say the least. I'm not aiming for portal awards anymore. If I get them, I get them. I've already received two (One that I didn't know about until yesterday!) and I don't expect to be getting anymore soon. I just hope I don't get blammed (although it's quite unlikely as I haven't had a blammed submission for over a year... but there's always that possibility!). So that's all I can really say about my new short (Although it will be concluded soon, in a way)
Now, onto my album. I'm very close to finishing. VERY close. I'm past the recording stage and it's just the mixing that's getting to me - making sure there's not too much of a volume difference between each song (Which is very hard as I have no direct way of telling how loud each song is, so I can't reference how loud each song needs to be!). It's just trial and error basically.
So that's my album and my short and I'll leave this now as its midnight and I have school in seven hours (Sports Day! I can't wait... (I'm not a very big fan of sports)). So yes, goodnight and enjoy my new short!
