I wanted to test out my narration voice so I have a go at recording Invictus by William Ernest Henley.

(If you need a similar voice for your project send me a pm/email)

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Hi NG,

The latest Half Full video is now on the Youtubes, i've decided to break down the release over there then collect them in an "Omnibus" edition for the main video here once they're all finished.

I've had a go at playing around with After Effects for this episode, i'm quite pleased with some of the resulting fx shots (Mostly fire stuff and the epic Earth shot at the end)

Huge thanks to RobSoundtrack for the music and to the voice cast for this part -
Adoxographist, Alkaizer and Twisted4000.

(Next Half Full related video to pop up here will be a short for the Newgrounds Holiday Collab)

*Edit to add: Well that and I decided to upload the 2010 Christmas special the other day*

Until the next time
Tom

Hi NG,

I've been playing around more with motion tweens recently. I know a lot of peeps out there are staunchly anti computer motion but they do help speed up the process quite a bit (I'd probably still be on Episode 2 of Half Full without them)

Also having sexy looking FBF animation is nice but I usually try and focus on the plot and stuff (Cue cries of "Plot!? What Plot!?) Well that and I still need way more practice with FBF.

Anyway here's an animation test with Tweens on the Half Full 9 villain (Voiced by Adoxographist) : ===Link here===

I haven't completely abandoned Frame by Frame, here's a short Walk Cycle I made about a week ago

I've no idea when Half Full Episode 9 will be out but watch this space.

Oh and also - Like me, pretty please? My feeling of self worth as a human-being and my number of Newgrounds fans are directly connected.

Tom

I'm quite pleased with how this turned out:

Made with a mixture of tweens and frame by frame.

Hi NG,

I've got one character left to cast for the next couple of episodes of Half Full. The role isn't huge in episode 9, but is much larger in Episodes 10 and 11.

The character is in her early 20's and is quite happy and carefree (At first anyway, as the story develops she'll lose her marbles and become more unhinged/villainous)

Sample lines (Normal)
"This is the first time I've visited London"
"It's not your fault, it's the society we live in. Maybe one day we'll find a place where people will accept our love"

Sample lines (Unhinged)
"FOOLS! You didn't think it would be that easy did you!?"
"Very well, you leave me no choice. Cower in terror at my SEAL OF APPROVAL!"

If you interested i'm contactable via pm or email

End date: 5th November 2012

RobSoundtrack has uploaded his brilliant/rocking theme for Half Full onto Newgrounds.

Also Episode 8 is here if you missed it before

Tom

Just wanted to spotlight the Half Full theme tune by RobSoundtrack (Check out his other awesome music on his page)

Also in case you missed it, Episode 8 popped up online the day before yesterday (Gained a daily 3rd :D)

Tom

Hi,

Latest episode of Half Full is up: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/597109

Thanks to everyone who contributed voices/music to it for me. I think I might have a short break before jumping into Episode 9 (I have a sketch idea I'd like to try animating)

Anyway hope you like it

Tom

Just a quick update on Half Full Episode 8, it should hopefully be finished for Sunday night/Monday.

There's a couple more shots to put together but from looking at a rough cut of the episode I'm pretty pleased with it. It's quite possibly one of the most wonderfully deranged things I've ever made and the cast are brilliant in it.

I was getting a bit fatigued with Half Full and ready to rest it for a bit, but getting so close to the end of this project has refuelled my enthusiasm for the show. The aim is to produce episodes about 5 minutes long in the future, I like cliff hangers but they do tend to alienate some viewers...

Hope all's well on your end.

Tom

Last Episode:

Chapter 2 of Oddball is online! (By kreid.newgrounds.com)

I voiced the guard/judge in this animation :D Check it out, It's all animated and stuff.

*Update: Another episode of Oddball has popped up on Newgrounds*: Vote 5!

Parts 1-3 should be popping up as a complete movie once Chapter 3 is complete.
