New Cartoon - Play!

Posted by RiverJordan - December 14th, 2010

Hey guys! Recently i made a video using flash, after effects and photoshop called "Play" and it's time for all you crazy crackers on newgrounds to get a taste!

You can watch ~Play~ here!

It was a huge learning experience for me, and I'm totally gonna do Exile in this way too now, that's still a ways off, but it's gonna be SO cool :D

I also had a devblog while making it, you can read the "Making of Play" here.

------------
In other news, inD interviewed Jimp, the creator of Sushi Cat, Penguinz and ZOMGies. You can read it here

That was amazing, props to you bro! :D

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:05:47

Thanks dude!

razorbladesigh 2010-12-14 15:18:27

I liked it. The project was just any media project? No restrictions?

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:18:27

Aye Cap'n

molkman 2010-12-14 15:24:29

Cool, but 20MBAREYOUCRAZYYYYYY.

Also, the music could have been a bit more in the foreground and more actionish.

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:24:29 (Updated 2010-12-14 15:38:40)

Yeah, it sucks, but whatever mang :D

I agree with the music, it was thrown in very last minute as the deadline approached. Most of my time was focusing on the animation itself

dirtshake 2010-12-14 15:32:10

Sweet stuff man! Any chance you can do a tutorial on how the hell you did this in After Effects? I can't seem to figure that program out.

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:32:10

Yeah! I'll do one over the holidays for you guys!

LewToons 2010-12-14 15:35:19

i second what dirtshake said - i making of in this video would be super cool!

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:35:19

I may have to now!

VidGameDude 2010-12-14 15:43:18

ffffffffffff update required

danicos 2010-12-14 15:45:42

Shit, it takes forever to load though!

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:45:42

Sure does, whatever though :P

MindChamber 2010-12-14 15:52:58

nice work,

after effects is awesome!

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:52:58

Thanks! It totally is

TheMastermario22 2010-12-14 15:54:37

very very nice. I thought it was well made and subtle. It was very interesting how you combined all three programs into one big but short movie. Good job man!

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 15:54:37

And they're only gonna get bigger! Thanks for the comment man, glad you liked it!

SwordStriker 2010-12-14 16:55:33

Awesome :D

SystemOfAtte 2010-12-14 17:20:27

There is a god! ...of animation.

PS: Did you use Flash or some other program?
PPS: FUCK THE SIZE
PPPS: mmm pie, it's good

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 17:20:27 (Updated 2010-12-14 17:59:07)

I used flash, photoshop, and after effects. i wrote all about it on my devblog.

10JD 2010-12-14 18:05:14

How can you be independent, and sponsored?

RiverJordan 2010-12-14 18:05:14

Because i can have as many sponsors as i want, and i am not employed directly by any 1 sponsor, they'd pay me for my services yes. However I don't work for them, as i don't ever have to work with them again if i didn't want to.

lenkalamari 2010-12-15 00:34:36

the wood golem guy has a cool design

Doomsday-One 2010-12-15 14:00:15

Wow! Incredible piece of work.
Only small thing that made me go "Huh?" was how the scratchmarks in the tree disappeared. Still didn't detract from my enjoyment of the piece though.
Now I'm really looking to the new Exile! Any estimated time of arrival?

JonBro 2010-12-20 11:52:02

The choppy frame-by-frame in Play seemed so incredibly out of place with the smooth tweens, and the black lines of the characters seemed to constantly change thickness.

But that's all the animation. I liked the story and characters pretty well.
