LOOPS

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.

Hey there Newgrounders!

I haven't been posting here in a while because I've been very busy with teaching and graphic design projects, but I have been checking up on things when I get a chance...

You may not realise this but most of the animations I've uploaded here over the past couple of years were created for a monthly screening night that used to run here in Melbourne, Australia called Secret Handshake. Well, they stopped the event at the end of last year and I really missed it, so over the past two months I've worked with a group of animators, illustrators, and designers to develop a local screening night to replace it called LoopdeLoop.

It's basically the same sort of thing, but the animations submitted to the screening are all looping cycles created to a set theme which changes each month. We run through a blog as well as the screening night which opens it up to more international contributions and allows the pieces to reach a larger audience.

I made two loops for May and thought I'd upload them here to share with you guys.

May was our first month running the project and it went beautifully! We received animated loops from all over the world and people loved it! June's theme is Opposites, and I can't wait to make a piece for it!

AND HERE'S A BLUE BIRDY WITH NO BEAK... he's a little creepy.

This shit is Crunk Fo' Shizzle!

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 18:36:46

that's good, isn't it! :D

113420 2011-06-01 18:46:52

So this project is all about little animated loops like that one?
How fun! this should certainly be interesting.

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 18:46:52

yeah, and lots of great animators have gotten on board! :D

LewToons 2011-06-01 18:47:06

still looks amazing - but im curious - how come these new loops look so much different in style to the rest of your stuff? - goin for a new vibe?

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 18:47:06

messing around with stuff... learning and making my reel more varied

Luis 2011-06-01 19:05:41

Those proportions are all wrong :(

pls dont teach people anything

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 19:05:41

I'm gonna teach you a thing or two, fucko

RicePirate 2011-06-01 19:10:17

Luis your proportions are all wrong ... especially in your pants ... you're just mad, cuz that's how you walk with your big tree trunk of a dong.

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 19:10:17

WOAH, you went there! 8O

molkman 2011-06-01 20:14:51

Sorry I didn't do a loop for May! I started, but realized on the 28th that it wasn't going in the right direction so I decided to do one in early June. HOPE THIS DOESNT HURT OUR LOVE. :O

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 20:14:51

our love is timeless and invulnerable to the slings and arrows of mere mortals, dear Molky. :)

popyea 2011-06-01 20:29:01

where is this blog i want to see it.
both of those loops were so cool!

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 20:29:01

google LoopdeLoop.
I didn't want to link to it in the post because it would be poor form.

Ockeroid 2011-06-01 22:36:11

Mega disappointed I didn't have the time to enter something to this one. NEXT MONTH AHOY!!
Looks so damn fun!!

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 22:36:11

the screening was a great night! :D

coughing-dog 2011-06-01 22:49:13

It's on like diddy kong!

TheBoogley 2011-06-01 22:49:13

OH YEAAHHH!

Thundaboom 2011-06-02 02:49:36

"I'm gonna teach you a thing or two, fucko"

Finally, someone's actually decided to talk back to Luis.

TheBoogley 2011-06-02 02:49:36

I've banned for the next six months now... :L

SpamClamberton 2011-06-02 06:39:53

You know you're out of line when the friendly neighbourhood Boogley calls you fucko.
Neil, your art style is fun, and having more constant and conservative proportions wouldn't do anything to heighten it. Therefore, I claim Luis's comment redundant.

Anyway, Tuesday night was great fun, and I've already started on this month's loop. Thank you muchly for giving me a monthly chore to keep me from getting rusty. See you in 26 days!

TheBoogley 2011-06-02 06:39:53

SEE YOU SOON, MR COLGRAVE! I SALUTE YOU!!

TomFulp 2011-06-02 06:55:19

NICE LOOPS!

TheBoogley 2011-06-02 06:55:19 (Updated 2011-06-02 07:10:08)

cheers Tom! :D

golfinho 2011-06-02 09:17:08

it is a contest? do you win? what program do you used for do it? my 4 years old son is afraid of this bird.

TheBoogley 2011-06-02 09:17:08

I animated it in flash, the painted each frame in photoshop, then brought it all back to flash again. That's why the edges are a little rough.

LoopdeLoop is a nonprofit screening and we've only been running for a month, we're giving out artwork as the prize and the winner get's their loop featured in the sidebar of the blog for the following month. It's not really a competition, more a creative exercise to give animators an excuse to do a personal project each month. After a few months if we keep growing we will look into sponsorship so we can advertise, increase our server space and give bigger prizes.

Wait! You have a four year old son! CRAZY!! If he's afraid of the bird I'd hate to see his reaction to your crazy porn dinosaur stuff!

Soupcat 2011-06-02 11:05:13

That gif in your post....Did you draw each frame in photoshop? D:

Isn't that a bit much?

TheBoogley 2011-06-02 11:05:13

Indeed I did, it took a while but it wasn't so hard.

SpamClamberton 2011-06-02 11:15:03

Golfinho has a 4 year old son? Oh dear. I can't imagine what kind of childhood that would be.

TheBoogley 2011-06-02 11:15:03

A GREAT ONE!!

MindChamber 2011-06-02 11:16:26
