» MEDIA (2) A screenshot from my animation My main submission to the \"Crank That S#!T Up!\" Contest

This is my real submission to the Nvidia / FiringSquad "Crank That S#!T Up" contest.

Animated with: Adobe Flash Pro CS4
Voiceovers recorded and edited with: Adobe Soundbooth CS4


I knew as soon as I saw the contest, this would give me an excuse to get into animating again, so I picked up my Wacom Pen Tablet and my Flash program and got to drawing. I figured an animated skit like this would stand out amongst the other entries as a lot of them contain either home-made footage, copyrighted songs, or In-game footage.

Though I did submit a small edited video earlier for this same contest illustrating the use of the PhysX engine with the GTX 480, it was only a side project when compared to this project; as this animation took the most work, dedication and time.

There was originally a lot more dialogue planned for this skit, but it had to be omitted due to the 60 second limitation.

And in case you may ask, yes I do have a life. I managed to get these entries created while maintaining a full-time job, working 40+ hours a week.

P.S. Another way you can Crank That S#!T Up is with GPU accelerated Flash Animations and Movies! Be sure to visit the SWF Flash version by visiting the external link. The subject link takes you straight to the youtube version, the only difference between the two is the the newgrounds version has a preloader.

Please comment and let me know what you think of this animation! I'll be sure to get it into the Matrix here as soon as I can!
