All the news fit to eprintWhat I wish I could spend all my time doingWhat I do for money (sometimes)

Dandy & Pied

It's strange how this started. The first episode was the final project to my flash class in college, to which I didn't go to class all the last month. It's really embarassing to watch these days. The pilot spawned several sequels, which I released in a strange order. All the videosI gradually improved until I got to Episode 3. After releasing it I did a remake to the pilot called Dandy & Pied Reloaded. It was poorly recieved. After that failure I decided to can the series for good.
The Videos (in order of release): Pilot, Episode 13, Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 8, Episode 3, Reloaded.

Pendleton County High

The first flash series I made that actually gave me motivation to continue (and do in the right order). It's basically my life in high school with my friends. The first episode is actually a true story. The rest, completely fictional. I miss high school. Well, not really.

F.U.

Basically taking the idea for Pendleton County High and moving it into my college years, F.U. was a dream waiting to come true. I had constant support from everyone, along with daily input. And, for the first time, everybody actually did their own voices. This video went on to the Newgrounds front page the day after and stayed there for two days. It has been view by over 25,000 people. Making it's sequel a tough act to follow.
I piloted the episode by means of making a poltical satire and releasing it the day of the 2004 General Election. It won Daily 4th place.

Other Flash

A few days after releasing the pilot to Dandy & Pied, I was pumped up about sumbitting to Newgrounds again. The problem was that I was moving out of Fairmont three days from then (and losing broadband in the process) so with an idea for a video in mind I wrote a quick script and had Luke Hersey & Cassilyn Lykens (now married) perform the dialog. The day I left Fairmont I submitted Square & Nintendo Reunite. It was welcomed surprisingly well. Not long after moving home I released Pirates of the Music Industry, and not long after that White Mage. These videos aren't bad, but they're not good either.

Cancelled Projects

Dandy & Pied Episodes 4-7, 9-12
There were scripts written for most of these. It just go too discouraging to keep producing these when so many people didn't like them.

Silhoutte Campaign
The first officially cancelled flash project of mine. It was too ambitious, and I was relying on Luke to do most of the animation, which didn't work due to a 200 mile difference between where we lived. What I had done look purty as it was. I couldn't imagine what it would have looked like had he contributed.

Death Defiant
My first real stab at an action video. Problem was there were plot-holes left and right. Also, there were a few scenes that I just had no motivation to finish. The video is still saved on my computer, and is about 75% finished. It was easily three months worth of work. Unfortunately, that's as close to finished as it will ever get.

Pendleton County 4: 1st attempt
I actually had a few working scenes finished on this before I decided to swtich gears and work on F.U. When I came back to work on this one, I decided to scrap what I had done and start anew. It's a good call...trust me.

F.U.: Roadwork
It's a short F.U. video much like The Polls Are Open. However, I never got more than a scene into it before moving to Morgantown and really focusing on F.U. I may still finish it, but I don't know.

F.U.: Wally
This one isn't offically cancelled. I just started working on it before I had a script and I got to a point where I realized "Hey, I don't know how to end it." So it lays sprawled on my desktop, taking a cat nap.
