Woohoo!

I've finally done a new game/interactive thingy. I started doing it before Mum's birthday, and put it aside because there were bugs and errors. Now, after painful testing and de-bugging, I've got it done. It's called An Insight Into 'The Teddy Times'.

It includes:
A beginner's attempt at lip sync (matching a voice-over to the animation),
photos,
a lot of effort,
George,
and... more effort! (Lol)
There are 6 different things to click on, especially the magazine - click anywhere on the front page to open it, then click again to close.

Turn up your sound, and Enjoy!

oh, and I must stress that it is a 6mb file, so please be patient and wait for it to load.

Dawn of the Giants

is the name of my upcoming animation. It should be done within 5 days (yes, animating takes a lot of time).

Here's a couple of screenshots that I took.

The main character

The title and play button

Notice the nice glowy effects on "The title and play button"? Well, those are called filters.

No, not the kind of air filter that Darth Vader uses, or a parental control website filter, that's not what I mean.

Look:

Filters are special effects that you can use. All the pro animators on Newgrounds use them.
Newgrounds is a massive site where loads of Flash users go to upload their flashes. It's the original, and the biggest.
I'm going to host my animation on there, so when I make it I'll just link to it, OK?
When you host flashes on NG, you run the risk of it getting BLAMMED. Basically that just means that your flash gets deleted on NG. Ouch. I doubt mine will get blammed, seen as I'm putting a lot of effort into it.

I'm hungry, so I'll explain the plot of Dawn of the Giants later (maybe). MMMmmm, chicken fajitas again today for me! Mum makes the perfect fajita - she's probably got a photo of one on her blog. *drools*
