A new News Post?!

Posted by BlueHippo - December 3rd, 2007


[DUE TO REQUEST ALL WORK RELATED PROJECT LINKS AND PARAGRAPHS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM BOTH BLOG ENTRIES, FOR THE MOST PART. PLEASE UNDERSTAND]

Hmmm, well it seems I've been getting a lot of complaints about making a new blog post, and I suppose the fact that every time I want to read a new comment I have to wait forever for it to load.

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON BOYS AND GIRL.

Let's march forward into the life of the hippo once again.

Work at *OOPS CENSORED* has been good, so much has happened since my last update, it feels stupid to not have updated ages ago. Right now what we're working on is a showcase DVD reel of everything it is we do at *OMG CENSORED!!*. I guess now would be a good time to say what it is we do as I have a grasp of it all right now :P We do trailers for video games, x-box 360, ps2, wii, ds, computer... whatever. We have all sorts of recording devices that allow us to capture game play, neat stuff. I really like the device that hooks up to the DS, looks crazy... I should bring in a camera and jazz this blog post up... (oh wait I went back and did that! Pics can be seen below). We do live action commercials and splice in gameplay, do short films, motion graphics and movie editing and all that jazz... I also have a coworker who just sits around and creates bad ass audio all day for whatever :D We do print ads, rich media, banner ads (moi), and websites (also me) for games, but have done some other sites too. I probably forgot something, but we do a lot over there at *FFFCENSOREDOKAY* ;D

Here's some kickin'rad pics of the juice headquarters:
[NOPE NOT ANY MORE]

If you looked at those pictures you'll see that I have a nice microphone and an audio room, so I'd like to officially announce myself open for voice acting. Listen to a horrible sample of what I could crap out for you. Just give me something to shoot for, and I'll do what I can for ya ;)

Moving on past that giant wall of text you didn't just read, we can look at some of some of the "juice" I've been working on.

[REMOVED]

After you've taken the time to look at all that crap, all those dumb sites, and silly banner ads, you can see some other emails I'm working on that showcases *WHO???*'s work.

(oh yeah I didn't really... make that whole email, a lot of the stuff was already there for me, like the basic layout and obviously the assets from other games and stuff)

[REMOVED]

Now if somehow I still manage to have your attention, we can move onto the good stuff... the animation. Yes, making websites and ads gets boring, but it's very time consuming. I've been trying to get back into animation. Luckily, for the DVD, I was asked to make a flash intro involving a little idea bulb thought bubble... thing... to simulate an idea. They lie dead in the bottom of the jar with X's for eyes. The camera zooms out and we see a conveyor belt wrapped around the jar extending into a door on an infinite white background. A hand reaches in and picks up a dead idea from the jar and drops it on the convener belt and it POOFs and the bulb springs to life, and he floats on over the convener belt through the doors, in which my coworker takes over and the Mediajuice logo spins in all 3D like and whatnot and the ideabulb floats by and it unmasks "Where ideas come to life".

Mmmm. That's almost done, my coworker is whipping up some music and sound effects for it now. You guys can see it when the DVD is all done, hehe :P [EDIT: I GUESS NOT ANY MORE] I've also joined a collab with a very sinister friend of mine, of the music video sort. I gotta make my part... will get that done one day... hopefully soon. I mean, I only have one submission for 2007, and it's not even that great :P I gotta get some other stuff in. I've been more active on the CC forums lately, will try to join a clock collab. Shout out to all the B heads. Also something 11 times swell will be coming soon for those of you swell enough to know what I'm talking about ;)

For the couple of you who have been reading all my comments on my old blog you'll know that I was waiting for a while to upload some pics... which... finally I did. Well I typed this up a while ago and in between the time I wrote this and now, I was asked to be an emergency fill in for someone on DailyToon 400. With only 2 days I managed to crap something out. Was my way of animating, under extreme pressure... no rest... just, animating! My part turned out alright I suppose considering the conditions, would have liked more than 2 days though :P Watch Part 1 or the part with my piece... <Link to part 2 will be here when it hits the portal>. Hope you guys had a happy daily day, all spam aside I think #400 turned out great, c'mon guys... right?

My website still sucks, I'd really like to find someone who is a PHP god to help me finish that... I have a lot of plans, it won't be an easy task, but I have a good plan in my head that's been there for ages. If you know someone who loves to do PHP point them over yonder ;3

Oh god it keeps going. I almost forgot, since my last news post I have become review modded. If you have any questions about... well whatever NG related, preferably review related questions, just leave me a comment or PM me, and I'll answer you the best I can :)

For the 6 of you who have managed to make it down this far, congrats, here is your candy. No, this does not count not reading all of this, but seeing the word candy, and reading this paragraph. I know how you Newgrounders are scared of walls of text.

let the gayorgyfest of comments begin!

A new News Post?!


Comments

FIRST COMMENT HA!

A quick one you are :0

what happening with the Hippo Collab mister Hippo?

That's a good question, I've contacted you for further information :)

Damn, yoshi, you posted within 60 seconds of his news post.

BTW, that first post almost crashed my computer, so I'm glad you made a new one. :)

Lmao, sorry about that :( and yoshi was awfully quick :0

NWN 2 will be awesome!

Heh yeah some cool stuff there :3

Now this is the kind of "artist news" I love to see!

It sounds like you're getting a lot of great experience at your job and forming relationships that could help you over the years. If they ever need a website for all those ads you're making, you can always recommend NGclubs. :)

I guess the T in DLT stands for 'Tom' now?

LIKE 8TH COMMENT OR SOMETHING DO I GET LIKE

A PRIZZE OR SOMETHING

a smoked crack baby.

amazing... you made a new news post! TIS A RED LETTER DAY! (lol but all sarcasm aside, you made a new news post... wow)

nu uh i dun beleev u

You have the same monitor as me.

Isn't that just great?

Also I'm tempted to make an animation for that audio.

lmao that would be horrible :X

those dell monitors are pretty swank

yoshi77777 has someone on the inside! :O

...maybe. :P

Well, Mediajuice sounds like a great place to work. It all seems rather laid back, and you seem to be enjoying yourself. I hope to leave school at the end of this session and go to university to study computer game design. I've heard there's a lot to be made in the business.

Keep up the good work. :D

Oh thank you sir, yes tis good 'round these parts. Perhaps you can spot yoshi's mole... perhaps he has a bot crawling NG at all times!

new post? this is impossible...... my....... head can't understand.

Don't make me clean up your brain stains :(

FIRST COMMENT XD

EPIC WIN LULZ SHOOP DA WHOOP

15th comment! (colon three)

Can i live in the Game capture room? I'll bring friends!

I dunno playing video games and getting paid to do it is hard work.

i have never read all of your news posts, i just skim the massive wll of text. i am a sick bastard.

No you're just an average Newgrounder ;P

Man, I want to work there.

ALSO< DID I SEE DANCING PINEAPPLE GUY?! O:

lmao one of my doodles around the office has been spotted :0 CUM WURK HURR DEN!

I know your doing this for your learning experience, but are you getting paid?
Seems like your doing a lot.

ehhh the pay is the worst part about the job ;P

About time you made a new one. Last new post caused a lot of lag on my machine. Only a matter of time until this news post does the same. That light bulb is seriously tripping me out.

And in the Open Office 2 picture, who drew that pineapple?

Heh, sorry buddy ;P

Oh you know it was me. Often there will be a hippo or a muffin or something drawn by me on one of those boards :P

yoshi77777 sucks.

P.S. Nice picture. :)

Hahahaha he owned everyone :(

23 comments already, you should be scared.

PISSIN MAH PANTALOONS!

You're a very handsome young lad. Glad to see you're doing well.
