DA UPDATE

I always want to start these off by writing "WOW WHAT A CRAZY FEW WEEKS IT'S BEEN!" but all I've done for the last month is vegetate in front of a screen animating, drinking mountain dew and listening to toy reviews like a huge nerd. It's been a positively un-crazy month in fact.

If you read my last post you'll know that I was working on a short live action film in December. Well the whole thing got shot and was an immensely eye opening experience. I don't even want to go in to how much of a giant pain in the ass it was trying to get a dog to act at 3am on location in a freezing alleyway surrounded by crew who hadn't been payed/fed/properly briefed. I have never needed a break as badly as I did after I shot that film so I made an animation.

It was either Starbarians Episode 1 or something totally different and due to the fact that Starbarians was in legal limbo for a while with people that wanted to make a show out of it I made Skyrim instead.

A lot of folks have asked why it isn't on Newgrounds and it's a combination of my lack of patience with having exporting problems (couldn't get it to export as one whole film as a swf, video wasn't a problem) as well as a few other things. By the time I got those issues fixed it had taken off on Youtube and I'd feel bad giving Newgrounds something that wasn't fresh. Next time it will be different. Hope you like it. Also, mad props to Sucho who has been doing some woefully underpayed colouring work for me. The girl is awesome.

Current project: Editing this film for Youtube and drinking LESS FUCKING DEW!

Fuck, I want that episode of Starbarians. Could you explain more about people wanting to turn it into a show?

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 01:41:19

I can't go in to much detail but a contract was written up and presented to me but we've yet to reach an agreement and honestly, I don't think it'll happen.

Krinkels 2011-02-10 02:49:52

you can't call it 'da update' and NOT reference cwc.

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 02:49:52

Did you not watch the cartoon??

Krinkels 2011-02-10 02:59:50

Well NOW I did, now that you MADE me. Jerk. Also holy shit that was amazing.

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 02:59:50

Thanks Krinks. I only mentioned it due to their being a cwc reference at the very beginning.

Too...much...awsomness...brain...conn ot...proccess...

Sapphire 2011-02-10 08:14:45

Skyrim was awesome. Sucks that the live action film didn't work out though. :/

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 08:14:45

It's not that it didn't work out; it was just a difficult process and lots of compromises had to be made. The resulting film should still be....watchable.

Luis 2011-02-10 08:56:06

you stay away from that oney boy, he is nothing but bad news

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 08:56:06

He's quite the Youtube sensation.

Xantor 2011-02-10 09:07:34

I laughed so hard at the last pic. Great animation.
And I know what you mean. We're shooting a movie as well and when you don't pay your cast you're bound to get disappointed once in a while.

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 09:07:34

Cast and crew were all wonderful actually, but we were bringing people in from overseas which gave us a very small window of time to get the thing shot and that simply wasn't enough. It was my fault entirely. A clever twist in the story had to be removed and the end conflict simplified to two guys slugging it out just so that the story even made sense. Bummer.

The-Super-Flash-Bros 2011-02-10 09:41:44

Seriously wonderful cartoon. When I realised it was going to be a song, I got so happy. You're some sort of crazy talent, dude, what the hell!

HappyHarry 2011-02-10 09:41:44

Thanks Dim. I'm tempted to do more musical stuff, the response has been good and it's always a blast to do.

Carbonwater 2011-02-10 10:00:23

Hey, someone well known made a front page post.

I MUST COMMENT SO THEY NOTICE ME.

TrixiBoi 2011-02-10 10:22:03

You genuinely need to make a longer version of that sound, because my ears basically had an orgasm.
