Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Animation is the imagination laid bare for all to see, our own personal constructed realities shared with others, story telling in it's purest form, or just a bunch of funny shit drawn for people to laugh their arses off to. It's all good.

SPOOKY MOVIE TIMES!! :O

Posted by TheBoogley Jul. 8, 2009 @ 9:35 PM EDT

HEY!!

I made a new movie that you should watch!

It's in a very different technique to my normal cartoon stuff, which I'm not too sure about.

It's an animated prologue for a play a friend of mine, Justin Stephens, directed called A Skull in Connemara. To really see it properly you have to see the play itself, the animation is designed to be twin projected on to the back wall of the set before the first act, so that the audience views it though a set of grave stones and a layer of mist. It looks freaky, it's a emo's dream come true.

I'm really exited about the technique I used. It was inspired by a film I saw at the animation festival called death and the mother. It was commissioned by channel 4 in the UK.

Caroline Leaf, working with the National Film Board of Canada is responsible for most of the groundbreaking works in these sorts of techniques. Here's her film The Street which is created using paint on glass!! :O

Here's another favourite of mine out of the UK, which better suits the Newgrounds kind of audience.
If you don't know of David Shrigley, YOU SHOULD! He's both funny and insightful.

Anyway, this is getting out of control... so I'll leave you guys be.
RAHHHH!!!! D:

"And that's what happens when you drink, kids! You die from the inside!"

Very unusual from your common works. I was annoyed and confused of the whole plotline and double flipping animation (the mirrored parts), but I guess maybe it's because I didn't get the full theatre experience like you mentioned earlier.

Why would he dig up a skull so he can become more upset. Why?!

Jul. 8, 2009 | 9:53 PM TheBoogley responds:

he's a lonely necropheliac masochist! :)
the mirroring was used because when it's projected the grave in the center of the set blocks parts of people's view of the other side, it's weird...

Jul. 8, 2009 | 10:46 PM Luxury-Yacht says:

If I were to ask you to make a flash animated to a poem I wrote that is narrated by a boy whose twin brother is actually a placenta, would you be interested?

Jul. 8, 2009 | 10:50 PM TheBoogley responds:

do I get to eat the placenta?

Jul. 8, 2009 | 10:55 PM Luxury-Yacht says:

Well, the poem ends with the placenta falling in love with an appendix, but I suppose you could eat it after they make their final goodbyes.

But seriously, I did write a poem about a placenta.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:07 PM TheBoogley responds:

send it to me :)

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:08 PM Luxury-Yacht says:

I'll link you to it: http://luxury-yacht.deviantart.com/ar t/My-Brother-the-Placenta-83509035

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:15 PM TheBoogley responds:

I like it, would he be an anthropomorphic character, like with a face and stuff, or just a straight placenta? I'm not sure which would be funnier

Updated: Jul. 8, 2009, 11:16 PM

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:08 PM Chicken says:

THIS IS PLACENTA XD

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:16 PM TheBoogley responds:

no, it's chicken :3

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:11 PM xXxAlecxXx says:

That was FANTASTIC! you can really tell you've gotten better over the years you have been on here i really like this style alot!

i'm really glad you're submitting more now!

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:18 PM TheBoogley responds:

thanks! I've just had a bit of free time to work on these projects, I might be quiet again starting next week. I'll be going back to work and I start a graduate diploma in graphic design next month two nights a week. But then again, who needs sleep. :3

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:21 PM Luxury-Yacht says:

I was thinking like a straight placenta, but he's always surrounded by people who interact with him as if he were sentient.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:39 PM TheBoogley responds:

sentient, now there's a word you don't hear often enough.
I like it, it could work really well.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:31 PM cantflyman says:

HOW DO YOU MAKE THIS MUCH GOLD SO FAST

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:40 PM TheBoogley responds:

I didn't sleep much last week, or do much else, other than eat and take breaks to respond to reviews on here.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:32 PM HolyPeanuts says:

That last video was awesome.

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:40 PM TheBoogley responds:

you are :)

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:34 PM Kweaks says:

The movie was really cool. Now that you're not tied up in that, though, maybe I can start that tennis thing we've been discussing?

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:41 PM TheBoogley responds:

tennis? okay, you serve. seriously, do something then send it to me

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:36 PM Kyaztro says:

good job boogles, that was some top notch stuff

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:42 PM TheBoogley responds:

Another notch in the old belt, heh
Good old secksual innuendo, always fun

Jul. 8, 2009 | 11:44 PM Luxury-Yacht says:

Oh man, if you actually decided to animate that poem, I would be so incredibly psyched.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:09 AM TheBoogley responds:

I don't know if I'll have time to do it, let me think about it.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:12 AM ChadsWeb says:

Now, let's be honest...

How many penis' did you draw in the background in black throughout that whole thing?

The WHOLE thing.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:17 AM TheBoogley responds:

952,647 penis' and 6,762 vaginas, with some inside others X3

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:14 AM Luxury-Yacht says:

If you don't have time, then don't worry about it, it's no big deal. I don't want you to think that you're obligated to do it, especially when you've got bigger fish to fry. The last thing I want to do is be a bother.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:21 AM TheBoogley responds:

You are no bother sir, no bother at all. :)
I've got a project on for the next month, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:15 AM Kweaks says:

I sent it to your primus address.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:21 AM TheBoogley responds:

I replied to it from my primus address :3

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:16 AM mrnihil says:

you should let me eat your brain so i can have your animation skills.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:22 AM TheBoogley responds:

just a little wafer thin slice?

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:22 AM mrnihil says:

don't be so fucking greedy, give me the whole thing.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:36 AM TheBoogley responds:

they don't even know what two thirds of our brains are for anyway,
I'll give you those bits?

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:26 AM Luxury-Yacht says:

If you want to do this, then feel free to take your time. It's not like there's a deadline for it, so don;t worry about it.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:37 AM TheBoogley responds:

okay, let's see what happens then...

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:43 AM mrnihil says:

yeah, fine. send them to my PO box, and use ice packs. if customs asks you what's in the box tell them it's... i don't know, vegemite, or a didgeridoo, or something.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:01 AM TheBoogley responds:

yeah, I reckon I could pass two thirds of my brain off as a digeridoo pretty easily, just shove them down a tube and top it up with some ice, then Bob's your uncle and put another shrimp on the barbie cobber

Jul. 9, 2009 | 12:56 AM peixeaquatico says:

fucking awesome

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:01 AM TheBoogley responds:

stop it

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:10 AM mrnihil says:

i don't know enough australian to carry this any farther...

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:14 AM TheBoogley responds:

australia fail :P

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:25 AM Luxury-Yacht says:

I'm going to join the other conversation by adding that I actually own a bamboo didgeridoo, and I can play it (but not very well, since you can't really find a didgeridoo teacher in suburban New York state.

I also have an Australian gourd drum.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:51 AM TheBoogley responds:

I have none of those things, so I guess you are more Australian than I am :(

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:38 AM mrnihil says:

at least i have a working website. ;P

when are you going to get your site going? where am i supposed to see your illustrations? deviantart? bah.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:52 AM TheBoogley responds:

meh, one of these days I'll get onto that...

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:42 AM mrnihil says:

to Luxury-Yacht

i'm very well known in the Dreamtime for being an obnoxious prick. it's not a well founded opinion of me, but it goes back to the old days when i used to hang out with this other guy who played a didgeridoo with his butt. when i was 12, it was hilarious. when i was 15, it was also hilarious. now, it's still funny, but not cool to hang out with that guy. he ruined my street cred.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:54 AM TheBoogley responds:

I'll just sit quietly while you two have a chat

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:49 AM Luxury-Yacht says:

I'm pretty sure you can't play didgeridoos with your butt

you'd need a tongue inside of your butthole

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:54 AM TheBoogley responds:

that's some filthy filthy talk right there

Jul. 9, 2009 | 1:57 AM mrnihil says:

yeah, he has one in his butt. he's an astral being, he can do whatever he wants.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:55 AM TheBoogley responds:

you two are going to have to take this coversation somewhere else, I've got people coming over and to be quite frank you're embarrassing me :3

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:53 AM Steffs says:

WOW.... the movie about death and the mother was so creepy but at the same time kinda insightful. Five'd your anim, awesome style by the way!!!
HIGH FIVE!!!!!

Jul. 9, 2009 | 3:13 AM TheBoogley responds:

SLAP!!! XD

Jul. 9, 2009 | 2:59 AM mrnihil says:

websites are easy, you could get it done in a day. you're going to have to take a break from animation, anyway... you can't have all ten slots in monthly best.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 3:14 AM TheBoogley responds:

okay, I'll get onto it tomorrow, you bastard :)

Jul. 9, 2009 | 3:16 AM Luxury-Yacht says:

I swear to goodness gracious that I blushed the whole time I typed that, Boogles.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 3:21 AM TheBoogley responds:

and I blushed the whole time I read it, with pride :D

Jul. 9, 2009 | 5:14 AM MarcyVF says:

I really hope you continue with this style, maybe mix it with colors and stuff. It's make a great contrast you know :) Keeeeep it up!

Jul. 9, 2009 | 8:45 AM TheBoogley responds:

thanks Marcy! :D

Jul. 9, 2009 | 5:16 AM zooominsh says:

And I loved your animation :3 I left a reviewwwww!

Jul. 9, 2009 | 8:47 AM TheBoogley responds:

Thanks man, I shall responndddd!!!

Jul. 9, 2009 | 7:47 AM 14hourlunchbreak says:

I read nothing and scroll down only to see your little animations.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 8:48 AM TheBoogley responds:

that's good because I pretty much don't pay any attention to what I write and focus on the little animations anyway.

Jul. 9, 2009 | 9:20 AM Luis says:

Jul. 9, 2009 | 9:29 AM TheBoogley responds:

PS: Google 'The Art of Skinner'(yeah, google, because links on NG tend to fuck up.)
I love that guy so much. I've found a new inspiration O:

Jul. 9, 2009 | 6:54 PM TheBoogley responds:

I can see why, that really reminds of your style, yet extra freaky :)

Jul. 14, 2009 | 6:19 PM TheBoogley responds:

I wrote this for you;

Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
Do you feel my heart beating, do you understand?
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming?
Is this burning an eternal flame?

I believe it's meant to be, darling
I watch when you are sleeping, you belong to me
Do you feel the same, am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame?

Say my name, sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely, and then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling

Yeah, sure, why not.
"call me what you like, just don't call me late for dinner."
