Blardy, blardy, blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!

So, recently a few peopel have asked me to animate videos for them... which is nice... kinda... One of them is a YouTube partner who has over one million views so i'll be getting exposure from him. Here's the video i did for him.

I also made this one for somebody else. I cant remember what they're called...

Dont ask... they told me to!!

The new crazy chicken game is coming alsong nicely. I've finished the musical score and I'm pretty pleased with it.

Crazy Competition Time!

Hi everyone! I've just launched a competition called the Crazy Competition and I'm pretty exited about it! To enter, you have to make your own crazy chicken character up and write a description about it- Oh, just watch the video!

Yup, there you have it! Here are the details-

To enter you need to either draw and scan/photograph your own crazy chicken character or draw it on your computer and send it in to midnightanimation@gmail.com The description can be on the drawing or in the email itself, If it's on the drawing, please make sure its readable. Remember! The character must be entirely your own creation. The contest closes on the 1st of January 2012, so any entries sent in after that date wont count. If you have any questions, just message me on my YouTube!
Thankyou and good luck!

Crazy Chicken 5 + Happy Halloween!

Yup, that's right. Crazy Chicken 5 is done! Thanks to voice actors animeweather and andrewmantv.

Also, I made a halloween animation. It's based on a true story! (haha)

Crazy Chicken Stuff

Crazy Chicken 5 is on its way soon. It is a special animation for two main reasons. 1: It is my first full animation in wide screen. 2:It has my first guest voice actor in it! The mighty Anime Weather has agreed to voice the Pet Shop Owner in the new episode of Crazy Chicken.
Visit his YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/animeweather

Here is a screenshot of the first scene with animeweather in it.

Here is the video talking about animeweather:

Im also animating a logo for somebody, but I've forgotten what they're called...

Crazy Chicken 4 pt2 in done!

I've finally got round to finishig it and I'm actually pretty pleased with the result. Here it is:

I also uploaded better versions of old episodes. Here is one of them:

Another Chicken Update

First things first, I'm sorry CC 4 pt2 is taking so long. I've just been busy recently doing other stuff! Anyway, I've just finished the first lip-sync scene in the episode and I'd like to show you where I'm up to:

Yes, that IS Crazy Chicken in the background and he IS shooting a bunch of angry mushrooms!

Here is a small animated gif of some of the mouths I used in the animation:

Again, sorry about the wait, but I hope it's worth it!

CBBC's Horrible Histories Animation

WOOT! Big news everyone!
Alongside Crazy Chicken 4 pt2, I'm currently working on a short animation for the CBBC's brilliant Horrible Histories. It is one of a trio of skits I plan to make for TV and this one is about the very first Victorian cameras and how long they took to take just a single photo. This is my very first project made for TV, so it really means a lot to me!
Here's a screenshot of what I'm doing:



 I'm not up 2 da animation yet though, just da characters, props and uver arty stuff.

Yours truly, Oli

CC 4 pt2 Update

I am currently about a minute into Crazy Chicken 4 pt2 so I'm nearly a third of the way there!

Here is an in-production screenshot of where I'm up to:

  

If you play that scene back, it actually looks like this.

Crazy Chicken 4 pt1 + 3 pt2

Ok... so... I have recently completed a three and a half minute cartoon called Crazh Chicken 4 pt1. It took me two months to complete and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It is my first cartoon with a proper story to it (the others were just completely random). 

Anyway, here it is and I hope that you enjoy it!

Before I made this, I also did Crazy Chicken 3 pt2. It is a slighty bonkers episode where a combination of both flash and stop- mo techniques are used. Here it is!
