Beginning my new life; starting new cartoons!

Let me just be blunt. I wont be submitting anything for awhile. For two main reasons:

1. I'm going to college.

2. All my ideas are big, and will require time.

Okay, so first off; headin' to college, it's pretty crazy to think about. It seems like just yesterday I was a freshmen in high school who barely new anything about flash, and now I'm off to go major in animation! Crazy how time flies. But I'm not here to bore you with my real life, just letting you know how it's going to affect my Newgrounds viewers.

Well, to be honest, you aren't going to see anything major from me for awhile. Maybe a Jim and Pals Short here or there, but what I really want to work on, is the epic sequal to TV Rules the Nation, currently entitled: "I am the Brainwasher." This one will use Daft Punk music as well. One neat thing about the song, and I hate to build hype so early on about this, but it's 10 minutes long, and I intend to make the flash that long. I have this all planned out, and I'm very aware of how big of a project that will be, but I'm confident that I can complete it. Don't get too excited though, I'm currently only done with about 30 seconds of it, and some of that still isn't done, but so far it looks and is animated at least 10 times better than TV Rules the Nation was. Here's a few screenshots from it.

City at Night

Skyscraper

Omnipresent Screen

I wish I could show you the movie, but I hate doing that, it just seems to detract from a flash when you finally watch it.

Anyway, one major change that I'm doing with this cartoon, is I'm making it entirely in Flash CS3 rather than KoolMoves (which is what I used for TV Rules the Nation). Also, I'm doing this on my laptop I got from my college, which is a Mac with lots of RAM and Gigahertz and stuff... yeah...

Anyway, keep checking for updates I am the Brainwasher isn't the only flash I'm working on... ;)

By the way, for any of you that think that I'm stealing Celarent's style or ripping him off or something, I talked to him about it, and he said it was fine.

I..I..I didn't think I cared....

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 01:41:02

But you realized in the end that you did. That's so sweet. =)

Good luck at college ^^

I can understand your situation, 'cause I'm off to University this year

one question: Are you going for 3 or 4 years, or is it one of those weird 21 month courses?

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 01:44:02

It's one of those weird 21 month ma-bobs. Or as I call it, 2 year college.

Rammer 2008-08-17 02:40:50

did you intend to totally rip off the style from Future, or what?

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 02:40:50

Depends how you look at it. I loved his style, and I'm trying to emulate it and apply it to my own work.

ThePigeonMaster 2008-08-17 03:16:05

Yay! another daft punk related flash!!
:D!

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 03:16:05

Someone's excited, lol

Reaperyami 2008-08-17 08:03:39

So how will you pay off college? Loan, Scholarship, work, or are you that damn smexy?... I mean rich.

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 08:03:39

Basically loans, loans and financial aid.

JonBro 2008-08-17 08:47:33

Heh, you really do like FUTURE, don't you? =P

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 08:47:33

I like it a LOT.

SimonG 2008-08-17 14:28:38

Why are you always creating those jim things, I don't like it...

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 14:28:38

It's not for everyone. If you don't like it don't watch it.

Vegitinism 2008-08-17 20:55:26

o well, i cant wait for the new flashes... they look awesome and stuff.
Good luick at college :3

Jimtopia 2008-08-17 20:55:26

Thanks, I hope I do well.

DWT-Productions 2008-08-19 08:15:15

Awesome stuff! I hope everything goes well in college, im have thoughts that when im older i might go to an animation college when im older..the only trouble is that me and probably my parents kinda think that getting a well paid job when i come out will be difficult...
Infact, if you can, could PM me on your thought upon this (like if you think finding work will be hard or somthing) cause that will be much appreciated!! :D

Also, You're "10 Minute!!" animation looks pretty good

Jimtopia 2008-08-23 01:43:19

uria96 2008-08-29 23:23:19

Jimtopia 2008-08-29 23:23:19
