Yeah, Adam is a decent character animator, and a mediocre director.

What he's great at is environment. Staging. EFFECTS. Character innovation. He is a brilliant man with flash. A great artist.


But his character animation lacks definition in terms of acting, and its choppy.



Still, he is pretty darn great for a guy who posts on NewGrounds.

Flash 10 - Higher NG scores with less effort!

[rtil]

for anyone that thinks adam phillips is a crappy character animator, i'd suggest you watch his '30 shorts in 30 days'. some of the best character animation i have seen in flash by an individual.

anyway, the kinematics thing is pretty damn cool and will add a lot of functionality to the software, but it also makes the program more accessible to 12 year old boys who have the hots for mario. oh well, maybe they'll make it harder to crack.

just watched the flash next video again. Man, they're overreacting on everything. "Look, the video plays on stage!" "WOOOOOOOOH WOOAH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

I will do that now

I hope they don't make it harder to crack, I hope 12 year old boys with the hots for mario won't be able to use it due to a lack of understanding of the software. I need cracks man

Ehh they are just excited nerds, and they are acting more excited than they normally would because it's a big convention thing. If they weren't there and had just seen the video on youtube like us they would just smirk and go "thats cool" or something not "HOLY FUCKGIGNDSKLGJLKASF YAAAA WOOOOOO!!!!!!!" like they did.

Seen em all. I was there when he started it, I followed it all the way through. And it's better than anything I've seen in NewGrounds probably, but people like Pascal Campion still do a far better job in flash.

well it would always be hard to say who is the best. i just think that people get the wrong idea from his brackenwood stuff. i dunno why he leaves it so choppy on that when it's so much better in the 30 days/shorts thing. probably because he was so tired from drawing and animating all the backgrounds/sfx

how do you animate a sound effect LOL

[sQueef]

lol taylor. Yeah alright his characters are pretty good in the 30 days 30 shorts thing too and also I'm pretty amazed that he could sit down and actually make a short toon everyday for a whole month and maintain the quality like he did. But what can you expect from a 37 year old professionally trained animator and artist?

I went and watched all of them, in a lot of them he's got the pretty visuals he always has and the characters move choppy but there are a good handful where the characters move really good, like in "Brisk Walk" and some others I can't recall.

Sooo basically he's just really talented and good, and has a good sense of humor so he's just a cool guy in general no need to arguE!

[MRat]

Let me put it this way, I'd still drink a cup of his jizz.

[rtil]

we're not arguing, squeef. also mrat that made me want to puke THANKS

[sQueef]

rtil- I know I worded that wrong, I just didn't want my post to turn it into arguing. I hope you can understand my cryptic messages they are really deep I swear!!! Also rtil wtf I haven't seen you on MSN or whatever in days and I've really been wanting to apologize for being annoying and argumentative even if I don't have to i fEEL IT IS NECESSARY oh wait I just ruined that surprise didn't I.

@mrat that is hot and also I agree with your stance. I think Adam is a pretty cool guy, in real life too I mean. He probably is, I'm just guessing here.

What a piece of shit. The product is so poorly designed that it can't even figure out I'm on the owner account.

Its microsoft. What the fuck did you expect?

[W.A.C.]

I expected to be able to get it to work. Only Microsoft can fuck that up.
