MY EYES ARE ON THE PROWL! SEEKING TALENT!

Posted by SpikeVallentine Jul. 11, 2008 @ 8:14 AM EDT

I am only seeking animators and painters. Specifically frame by frame.
(Flash, 3D, Photoshop, 3d max, whatever).
Please save time for both of us, no beginners. Sorry!

Please email spike@snowsnowforlucy.com if interested.

Right now I just wanna meet/know some talent.
Soon, I'm gonna need a strong loyal team.
Email me your best works, we'll see if we can kick ass together.

-Andrew

I'm not asgood as you, and my biggest problem is that I kinda have no time to finish something... PS, are you really 79?


Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:00 AM squeakytoad says:

What do people get? Or do you just want a team of talented people who will gain nothing but perform your every task at your call willing to do your every command?

Haha, we'd all like one. But just expecting people to send in a portfolio eager to work under you without any offer of reward is somewhat snooty.

Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:22 AM SpikeVallentine responds:

It's as simple as wanting to meet other people who share the same passions.
There's no reason for anyone to get anything.
In this world there are billions of talented people,
I'm not gonna sit down all day browsing.

I ain't expecting anyone to do anything.
That is why I said "If you are interested, contact me"

"We'd all like one."
You're right, eventually I would like a nice team.
Normally when I want something, I usually go for it.

"Send in a portfolio eager to work under you without any offer of reward"
No one said anything about working for anybody for anything, otherwise I would have mentioned rewards.

Heh, don't worry, I don't plan to recruit you. ;)

Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:22 AM Unknown-Inc says:

Ah, your post and The Super Flash Bros front page post are just gettting me more pumped for the potential of Flash (and for me to get up and actually start one, I'm too low for my own standards so far, mainly in actually drawing the character models and such, got any tips?). I need to get started so I can join your ranks in the fullness of time!


Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:31 AM JonBro says:

WUT DA HEK IZ FALSH??!11

Heh, I think I'm a decent animator, but I don't think I'm quite awesome enough to meet your expectations here.


Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:41 AM robodude88 says:

heh, your anime style reminds me of elfen lied...sry i can't help tho


Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:43 AM squeakytoad says:

Haha, alright. Don't worry, I didn't plan on applying. I would hate to shatter that wonderful little world where some slightly decent animation without talented writing or creativity is all that it takes to make a film. ;)

Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:49 AM SpikeVallentine responds:

Your comment is funny.

I still need lots of practice.
ahhaha, and yeah...one reason why I'd like to work with others,
cuase my animation is not too great, you know?

Most of my stuff online is all practice btw,
but I guess it's healthy to have the practice treated as a serious project.

ive posted some in the bbs but i cant be fucked finding em


Jul. 11, 2008 | 9:55 AM squeakytoad says:

Never said you weren't a good animator. But every time I suggest something (like the time I commented on the writing) or when I speak about an issue like lazy animating (submitting half-finished stuff in the form of "practice animation" and getting pissed at those who thought that was lame), you get all pretentious and arrogant in your replies.

My apologies if I misinterpreted your request. But your knack for slipping in the arrogant bull and turning every remark around as if the one making it is in the wrong- that certainly doesn't give me a good impression of your humility and innocence.

Regardless, I'm not commenting anymore. Really don't want to stir up retarded drama here.

Jul. 11, 2008 | 10:05 AM SpikeVallentine responds:

Oh man that's verrry interesting.

Online communication is an easy place for miscommunication.
I barely get pissed, and especially on and over new ground stuff.
Pretentious and arrogant, that's very interesting, I haven't noticed anything like that.

Yes, drama is lame.

I'm sorry for any miscommunication, thank you for your honesty.

hi


Jul. 11, 2008 | 12:51 PM Bubbowrap says:

I totally have to admit that this interested me a great deal, since I feel like we have a lot of the same interests -- animation-wise, anyway.

How often would we have to be in contact?


Jul. 11, 2008 | 1:12 PM killingtree says:

wait so what do you plan on doing with this team?


Jul. 11, 2008 | 1:50 PM Flatthead says:

I'm decent but can't meet your standards so therefore will not join and I don't really have patience for flash.

I sent ya an email ^^


Jul. 12, 2008 | 12:22 AM zer1 says:

I'd love to help but, I'm really only good on putting after effects on images that are basically done... except for the final effects. Tried doing something from scratch that took about 45 minutes in Photoshop Cs2 and well it was ok but yeah...

I also own can make music (You don't need to include me in your team for this, but just shout out a theme your thinking of and I'll try making a piece).

That's about it :/


Jul. 12, 2008 | 1:19 AM Five-Iron says:

Hey,

I sent you an email. Hope you like the stuff I sent. I'm a pretty awesome guy.

-Drew


Jul. 12, 2008 | 1:37 AM Five-Iron says:

Haha, I'm surprise there are so many animators on here with low self-esteem. The majority of posts on here have been nothing but "I don't think I'm as good as you, so I'm not going to apply."

Have some confidence in your work guys! You can always just call your work "Unique" or even at it's worst "Different".


Jul. 12, 2008 | 4:14 AM WolfBlitz2 says:

Im stuffed


Jul. 12, 2008 | 2:08 PM TimFrommeyer says:

i could


Jul. 12, 2008 | 3:15 PM DannyJay says:

your name is Andrew?! *gasp* lol. thought it was spike.

I dont have the animation software at my house, only at my friends and in school. *which im good at 0-0*
Though I good design, Example: Draw a person, background,place.


Jul. 12, 2008 | 4:46 PM TechFlash says:

If you need stop-motion work, then I'm your man. I'll send you an e-mail, but if you're not interested in stop-motion stuff then its okay :).

-Tech


Jul. 12, 2008 | 4:54 PM TechFlash says:

Oh yeah, I forgot to say. If I were recruited on your team I WOULD be able to do work, but I'd also need time to work on projects of my own ;).


Jul. 12, 2008 | 5:20 PM The-Swain says:

Squeaky, you shouldn't talk to this month's King of the Portal that way ;)


Jul. 12, 2008 | 6:43 PM RubberNinja says:

Squeaky, just shut up.

I like your stuff dude, but sadly I've got my own shit to worry about right now.


Jul. 12, 2008 | 8:42 PM Vortex00 says:

communication effectiveness = 80% visual~


Jul. 13, 2008 | 12:51 AM badfurrykitty says:

since when do we have talent?


Jul. 13, 2008 | 2:32 AM Zwickel says:

Man, WTF with squeakytoad. Just to say, Spike you know you have some of NG's finest animators on your side, you are an awesome storyteller and a very promising animator. Send me the some keys to inbetween DAMN IT :p


Jul. 14, 2008 | 5:11 PM Chdonga says:

Congratulations on being king of the portal.


Jul. 14, 2008 | 5:32 PM RWA says:

I'd love to apply,but I believe you're too far out of my league. I actually think you are a great animator,and that you could really go pro. Good luck on it,I'd apply if I had a chance. Peace :D

Can't wait for your next project


Jul. 14, 2008 | 6:14 PM Murad136 says:

BTW You are King Of The portal, well done man! Congrats!

I'd be on the team as wingman but that's useless, but I guess that is all I could do.


Jul. 17, 2008 | 2:41 AM King-slasher says:

YOU ARE NOT THE KING OF THE PORTAL..... StrawberryClock Pwns you.

darn i wish i wasnt such a noob at flash D: dang must practice!!!!


Jul. 22, 2008 | 7:11 PM Oddler says:

Question for Andrew the bounty hunter. How did you create the nice texturing you have in your Flashes with Flash? Your profile pic has lots of tiny details that are kinda unusual to see in Flash projects. Was it made in Flash or what?

Jul. 22, 2008 | 8:36 PM SpikeVallentine responds:

I made the backgrounds with photoshop.
No flash was involved


Jul. 23, 2008 | 12:49 PM dtnfdt says:

Good Luck Finding A Good Team !


Jul. 24, 2008 | 6:13 PM HeavyDNY86 says:

Hi, I'm a pretty good FBF animator. Here's a sample of my work:

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/06070 8/44676_Fluid_Combat_Clip.php

The problem is that I get bored kinda easily. I started the above animation over a year ago, I only planned for it to be about a minute long, and I'm still only about 30 seconds in. I dunno if I'd ever join a crew if you assemble one, but I guess it'd be nice to get to know some other animators a little better. I dunno, w/e

I joined a brand new crew once before, it fell apart. Not because of me, I supprisingly stayed in to the very end and participated alot. Maybe that's what I need, someone pushing me. But anyway, the crew I was in said I had good direction and writing skills as well. My real downfall is voice acting and technical audio stuff.

So that's pretty much it, I'm out there and I'm saying "hey".


Jul. 25, 2008 | 2:22 PM loogiesquared says:

you are the best NG animator EVER.


Jul. 26, 2008 | 1:13 PM Noxx11 says:

Hey, I'm really a huge fan, I love your animations, and I would love the chance to be able to work with you at all, but don't look at my portfolio. It doesn't really show my best work. If I finish something long enough and good enough that represents my talent, I'll send it to you. And I'm mostly fbf, with a tween here and there.


Jul. 27, 2008 | 2:42 PM KillstixCHix says:

Aww I'm sorry, but I'm totally new to Photoshop, I edit all my stuff in Paint. I've never made a flash, [would love to learn] but I have made 3 shorts in Windows Movie Maker, just a few stills with effects [Nothing special]. I figure you're probably sick of people leaving comments that are completely useless to your talent search, and I was hesitant to even comment. It makes me sad to not be able to help out this months 'King of the Portal' ^^' sorry
[If you're interested at just seeing my short videos, just message me]


Jul. 28, 2008 | 3:17 PM badfurrykitty says:

Isn't it harder in collabs than solo mr. spike?


Jul. 29, 2008 | 11:08 PM danicos says:
