Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

At last, I will soon have a new flash to release to Newgrounds. I've been at college for the past 16 weeks, and I haven't had a moment to flash in a very long time. I realize every washed up NG animator says this, but I miss the days when I could spend all the time I wanted flashin' away. I miss blowing off my homework to finish Super Mario Land II :( Those were great times, but I know that now is the time to get serious and concentrate on my studies.

Fortunately, I've been doing well in college. It's great there at New Paltz, but I've decided to transfer after the spring semester ends to pursue a degree in Meteorology. It's a rediculous change of paths (I was studying graphic design at Paltz), but I've always been fascinated by tornadoes and shit. I also made the NCAA volleyball team, which will really fire up in the coming weeks. It's only division three, so it's not like I'll be on ESPN like those division one football players, but I'll have a great time nonetheless.

As far as the new flash goes, it's basically a parody of those cutscenes in Super Mario World, where Mario dynamites the castle. The flash itself is a hyper blooper reel - something that I've incorporated into many of my flashes (especially the SML series), but have yet to publish singularly. This means that there's minimal build-up; just skit after skit of Mario Bros. antics. Currently, I have 17 skits completely with a runtime of about 75 seconds. I'm aiming for around 25 skits total, so this baby's almost done. Expect to see "Mario's Castle Calamity" in the portal within the first week of the new year.

Good to hear from you again. I got to ask you, what falsh software do you use? For once in my life I've come across some money that I'e gotten to keep and I wanted to put it towards making flash animation. You have some great animation, and I was just wondering what you use. I'm asking all my favorite flash artists this because I'm trying to learn from the best. Please respond soon.

Right now I use Flash CS3, although I used Flash 8 a while ago and that's also a great program. I'd recommend either of them.

I've been messing around with flash for about 3 years, hard to come up with original shit and every time you release something I'm like, why the hell couldn't I think of that D:! I want to make Super Mario World flashes for newgrounds someday, got any tips you wanna share with a noob let me know btw x_x;

But yes, I love your flashes always original and funny xD I wish I had your pro skill D:!

Jan. 6, 2009 | 7:25 PM Koopa-Dude94 says:

-watches it- Ah, Jeremy... I'm pretty sure that I took you off my favorites list...Why did I do that? -favorites you and the movie-

Jan. 7, 2009 | 11:09 AM SlntCobra1 says:

When are you on AIM? I want to so badly do a collab with you, I'm pretty sure we could figure something out. Maybe some Super Mario Sunshine sprite movies, you never know. To be honest, you and Hadouken_Dude are my top flash animators, you guys are hilarious. I'm not really sure how to animate in flash at all, the only way I know how to is to convert a windows movie into flash, I just don't really get flash. T_T Would you mind helping me? Please?

FUNNY AS HELL! every time i see it, it's still funny xp

Jan. 9, 2009 | 9:08 PM Sheimi-Manafi says:

I'm working on over 9000 skits for mario, with numerous songs ready. Now all I need is a flasher, so I guess my dad might help me there... or give me a few thousand pages of the book "Multimedia- Flash for morons, dummies, and computer geeks". Sigh, just so funny. Why didn't you add him dynamiting the castle, but nothing happens?

Jan. 10, 2009 | 11:11 PM AlexJS says:

As a SMW hacker, seeing any of this in a real SMW hack would be awesome.

...maybe I should ask around.

What's next? A blooper reel of Mario using all of his known powerups?

Actually, some of the last ones were blank. But that makes up for those tricks in between (Shy Guy, Bom-Omb, and Baseball guy)
