On his site. Not Newgrounds yet.

To be honest, it looked amazing, but not quite as amazing as I thought it would be. :/ I think I still prefer the Yuyu.

It was pretty good

i was a bit dissapointed, myself. It was better than The Yuyu, imo, not as good as Prowlies at the River.

Still the best flash animator when it comes to skill and professionalism i've ever seen.

P.S. how did you find that?? I browsed his site and it doesn't look like he's updated his blog with this news, or the forum or anywhere else. I couldn't find a link on his site to the movie.

that was unreal. how does he make those water effects?

i had a stomache ache before watching this it didnt help very much

amazing, although i thought the ending was slightly stiff seriously though the backgrounds were a visual pleasure far beyond anything any other cartoon really could measure to

Someone mentioned that it was already uploaded, so I just went to his site, added "waterlollies.html" and there it was, heh.

But yeah, it was still freaking amazing. It was also a lot longer than the Yuyu, (which I personally liked for the fast-pacedness of it,) but this one might become my new favorite. When I have high expectations for something I just tend over analyze it to a ridiculous level.

Sure his backgrounds and special effects are godly, but I think his character animation is where his "mortality" shows. Sometimes it just looks kinda zippy, and when it's not the movements are rather bland and uninteresting.

EDIT: You know what? I just realized I've been watching this on medium quality. It's MUCH better on high. Dayum.
EDIT again: It keeps switching back to medium anyway. I'm just crazy.

the preloader is a 3D effect similar or could be the exact same software called Paint Effects, which is found in Maya. all you do is hold down a button and it makes vines for you. it's one of the thousands of presets

anyway onto the cartoon

if anyone thinks this is worse than the yuyu you're crazy. this one had much more content, way better animation and was a much more solid piece. this is by far his best work and definitely the highlight of the brackenwood series. i'm sure he'll get more than plenty recognition for this one. and he's one of the very, very few who deserves it

it was totally beautiful and the highlights were definitely his effects animation, no surprise there but it was fun to look at /watch

and that's all that matters really. i don't care if the story is lacking if the cartoon is actually good/entertaining. suffice to say this brackenwood had the strongest story of all

The more I watch it the more I love it... way better than the Yuyu now.

Sheesh it's animation like this that only makes me realize how ridiculously far I have to go.

rtil · November 2, 2007 06:30 PM

just remember the guy is an ex-disney animator in his late 30's. he's got more experience on us than anyone in the flash world

W.A.C. · November 2, 2007 11:58 PM

I wish my PC wasn't so shitty. I had trouble viewing that on low quality. :/ Excellent flash though.

zomfgbie · November 3, 2007 12:31 AM

adam phillips is probably the best flash animator ive seen.

when i say that though, i mean his art and animation skills are godly. but tbh his flash fails to keep me interested
im not disrespecting him in anyway, the effort and expertise put into his work is amazing, but he should work more on the entertainment value too. like littlefoot. thats my favourite by him, cause it made me laugh, i followed the story and it was generally awesome.

rtil,
me and zekey have been doing flash for like 5 years now and have progressed at a slow, steady pace

Yet somehow you've only been doing it for like 2 years and your animation (especially project freetown) is beginning to rival Phillips himself, if i daresay so.

How do you do it?? I'm jealous.

Well, unkike Zekey, Rtil has motivation and a lot to live for. Zekey couldn't be bothered to make anything. We'll be lucky if Polypepticide even comes out.

I also imagine that losing out to a sprite movie must be pretty crushing

That flash was great. For once, it was a story line that wasn't really too boring. The water effects are great but it looks like he got lazy towards the end (the crawling cycle of bitey has like 6 frames or something and doesn't look very smooth).

I'm glad I have your support.
Thanks. It really helps to know what you fuckers think.

in retrospect i would like to add one more thing

rtil goes to digipen, a school run by nintendo, where they work him like a dog. youre an idiot if you say that zekey doesnt compare to him because of his lack of motivation or lack of reasons to live
