Flog Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 Here is another picture, just a quick toon render with the character I really do need a matte painter Quote
Flog Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 Here is my girl. Modelled by Satyajit Hope you like. She is one of the main characters Quote
Flog Posted September 29, 2004 Author Posted September 29, 2004 If anyone wants to help on the project and be a part of the dvd please let me know. I could definately use your help. Matte painter, landscape, plants and tree modeller, texturizer and materializer are needed. Anyone in the project will sign a contract and then be included in the profits. So let me know Thanks Quote
gra4mac Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I can't help with your project, but I like what I see so far. Are you going to tell what it's about, or do we have to wait and see? In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing more. Quote
MATrickz Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Very cool characters Flog! I cant wait to see them in action! Quote
Flog Posted September 30, 2004 Author Posted September 30, 2004 Hey Matrickz, thanks for the ups. Your always an encouragement. Hmmm few replies, I'm sad. Do the characters suck? Well I hope you will enjoy the DVD when it is out. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 30, 2004 Hash Fellow Posted September 30, 2004 Hmmm few replies, I'm sad. Do the characters suck? No, your characters look quite promising! However... collaborative projects (especially large ones) are exceedingly difficult to recruit for, hold together, and bring to completion unless the leader has an established record of accomplishment in such projects. Since forever. I've been part of several collaborative projects; only one* has yielded a finished piece. I imagine other people on this list have been thru the same? So, do a good job on your project here, and next time around you may attract more interest. *plug: see Duck Sauce on AM Films Quote
MATrickz Posted September 30, 2004 Posted September 30, 2004 New Character.. well more like, an improved character.. You think its done Flog? I shortened the arms Quote
Flog Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Flog looks great too, Matrickz is a very dedicated person!!! I have a few dedicated folks but mainly me. I'm just looking for models but doing all myself from there unless others want in. I will keep you the progress on this project up to date. Here are some characters for another project Quote
Flog Posted October 1, 2004 Author Posted October 1, 2004 Just wanted to show you some of my old animations and tests. These were more tests and half done animations I worked on for the fun of it, for practice and to learn. Don't expect the best, but I have gotten better. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/31099 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/146561 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/146408 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/37312 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/57943 http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/57942 Quote
ddustin Posted October 3, 2004 Posted October 3, 2004 Colaboration is very tough, even with people you know well. Everyone has OTHER things to do. Ultimately I think you'll find, the only one who won't let you down is you. David Quote
Flog Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 I've been having a good streak of fortune. I do have a few collabers and ones that are dedicated. Matrickz is one as you can see. Satyajit my head modeller is another Chris my storyboarder, etc. And I do have support. Alot of the work I will do on my own, but I do want to include others in the process. This will be a successful collab. I hope to build a team and then work on a 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. Most definately I agree with you, collabing can be tough. It is tough. I am however going to finish this someway somehow Where there is a will there is a way!! Hey I also wanted to share another version of Flog Quote
Godfrey Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Hey I also wanted to share another version of Flog With the hair, it reminds me of the old "Lemmings" game! Quote
Flog Posted October 4, 2004 Author Posted October 4, 2004 You know, he does kinda look like a Lemming. Slightly differant but he does look like a lemming, hehehehe!! Looks like but not a Lemming. Especially in the body area, the head is simple and does look like it. Dang I never looked at it like that. Quote
ddustin Posted October 4, 2004 Posted October 4, 2004 Head modeler..... Does that mean he models heads or heads up modeling Kind of like a head painter....... Ah English what a language. Quote
Flog Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Nah he's my lead modeller for characters He is one of my supporters. I also wanted to share some skills from another of my helpers Matrickz, you know who you are!!! Quote
Flog Posted October 5, 2004 Author Posted October 5, 2004 Here is another picture of his designs for foliage Quote
MATrickz Posted October 5, 2004 Posted October 5, 2004 Thanks man!! I can't wait until all of the pieces of this DVD are put together into one big mass of Super DVD MADNESS! Very nice work yourself on organizing all of this! I love the whole story , I think It should be a success! Quote
Flog Posted October 7, 2004 Author Posted October 7, 2004 Well TrickZ lets get busy, we'll be done with this in no time, heheheh yeah right, lol. Quote

Flog Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 they are great ideas you have!!! I also want to share more pics of the Flogtales and Kalimar story. This is a picture from our Kalimar story also to be made into a movie online. THis was drawn by a work for hire and a good friend named Carsten. Hope you enjoy the pic. We were promoting this at comicons and such. Quote
Flog Posted October 19, 2004 Author Posted October 19, 2004 Here is another picture of one of the girls. Her name is Wren, she was burned as a child so wears alot of the things to cover her. Quote
starwarsguy Posted October 19, 2004 Posted October 19, 2004 that's so mean! they said you stole it at newgrounds Quote
Flog Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 HEy Starwarsguy, You talking about those newgrounds cartoons I put up. Yeah that was funny. I had since corrected it with the guys who wrote that. I'm like go ahead and find those graphics on the web, just like that. Its crazy. I don't get it but Newgrounds folks are kinda weird sometimes. Thanks for viewing my old animations. Quote
Frank Silas Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Nice Flog, please keep me posted. I love the anime style. Frank Silas http://www.franksilas.com Quote
Frank Silas Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 If you haven't found one already you should have Cartsen do your matte paintings. His style seems to be perfect for it! Frank Silas http://www.franksilas.com Quote
starwarsguy Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 lol, i went there awhile ago and they always seem to be dissing stuff in their comments unless they say, "he came to us to prove..." Quote
Flog Posted October 20, 2004 Author Posted October 20, 2004 Yeah I'm definately trying to get Carsten in on this one. Problem is after the comic we did together he has had numerous job offers and such, and working on his own comic now and he is a busy beaver. I hope we can work together again, he is a great artist. His mattes would throw this into a very professional level of movie. I can animate pretty fast and should be done in 6 months with the first 10 minutes. Hey if anyone wants in on the project, or can spread the word around we are doing this project. I'm personally fitting the cost for DVD production. Any profit though will be traded out amongst the group, based on merits, how much you put into the film type thing. Many are skeptical of the whole group collabing thing, but I am not. I've been planning this for too long, and too hard, since I was a child and now I have the means to do it. This is my life's little dream to make a movie and tell a story. Basically this project will work perfectly with a little help here and there from collabers. Most of all the other work I'm confident will get done, cause I'm doing it myself. So if anyone wants to contribute and has the skills please step up!!! I'd love to work with you. Quote
Flog Posted October 25, 2004 Author Posted October 25, 2004 wanted to share more work from Carsten Quote
Flog Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 some old screenshots from my flash animations Quote
Flog Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 Here is a screenshot of a storyboard background. Let me know what you think. Thanks Quote
Flog Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 Here are screeshots of my comic, created by me, designed by me, written by me and drawn by Master C himself. We are in negotiations for him to be my Matte painter, yay. Quote
MarkusAralius382 Posted October 26, 2004 Posted October 26, 2004 Wow this looks like its comming along really nicely!! keep up the great work!! I love the style of your art cant wait to see more! Quote
Flog Posted October 26, 2004 Author Posted October 26, 2004 Current update: Currently I'm working on the outline for the "HOW TO PORTION" of the movie. You see the major part of the dvd is how a "Low talented guy" (in the modelling and drawing department) can make a movie with a slight budget and powerful software, and a good story. It is especially geared for those folks who want to tell a story but just don't have the ultimate modelling and rigging skills of the pros. And how to make a movie on a budget. Much of the video is commentary on how we created the video, how contacts and helping hands were found, etc. And how it could been done in a super budget!!! There are going to be special rotoscope scenes, where my friends and I will act out the cartoon and copy movements for animation. How I searched for voice talent, etc. I really wanted to make a video that would inspire more filmakers. I think the low production small teams thing is the way to go in the future, and a way folks can make a living doing what the love, instead of the evil day job of doom. Because personally I want to stop being the Corporate Slave by Day and Animator by night. I want to be the animator by day and a sleeper at night and make a living on my own characters, dreams and STORIES!!!! I appreciate all the replies on my project as this keeps me encouraged. Quote
