🥕 Other Jazz Jackrabbit fansites

Sucka_Tube · Jul 17, 2006, 07:31 PM

Hello my dearest of forum goons. Today is the day that I create a thread in Loricentral (which incidently happens to be this very site !) about that quazi-mysterious enegma of a man, the creator of Lori.

Way back in the day, I'd say a few ~~days~~...~~weeks~~... ~~months~~ years ago, he had his very own website within which we, as a community, were free to bask in his very, very official database of his work, a lot of which, JJ2-related. My question to you -- dear friends, enemies, flamers, spazes and people who have generally no command of the English language -- what was his past? And what is he doing now?

This is a ~~very, very~~ semi-serious topic, folks, so get those buzzer fingers ready, because the first one to answer gets a...~~brand new car~~...~~mound of African diamonds~~...~~meeting with the real, live Lori Jackrabbit~~...~~great big hug~~...huge amount of appreciative recognition from me.

Yours Truly,
-Suck-a-Tube

Last I heard he started working really hard on his movie. So hard he decided to let all his sites fall down. You can still see the website if you hunt around internet archives.

NovaStar · Jul 18, 2006, 12:39 AM

From what I Googled two days ago he withdrew from all online activity in around 2002/2003. He still can be rarely seen on the Animation Nation Forum. The last time he was there was in January this year confirming that he is still working on his film, "Elysian Tail" and that there "is a few more years ahead before it's completed". There is 20 minutes of the film completed. I found some screenies too, and a clip.

I'll get the clip in a min.

Whoa. It must be hard working on a professional full-length movie all by yourself.

It's not solo. Spring is working on it too.

I always heard that there were people who create the illusion of moving pictures by drawing and colouring many thousands of pictures and placing them in sequence, but never thought that they would actually go into this much detail to be working for so many years for a single motion picture. Gee, I hope he doesn't run out of ~~sanity~~ money, or anything...

Thanky. It was just co-incedental that I was looking for Noogy stuff myself.

Noogy · Jul 28, 2006, 05:00 AM

Hi all, thanks for the interest

Yep, I'm still around, although I've been busy working on my film. It's coming along well.

Interestingly enough I just reuploaded the teaser site for Elysian Tail. The current url http://www.noogy.com will take you there. Not a whole lot of stuff yet, but it'll fill out in time!

You know what would be better looking out? Finding the post in an animation forum where Noogy breaks down step by step his animation process.

Before I leave to find it, Hey Noogy.

Erik · Jul 28, 2006, 06:42 AM

Lookin' good so far!

DoubleGJ · Jul 28, 2006, 07:46 AM

Everytime I'm being reminded of Elysian Tail, I wish someday I could be capable of doing something like that...

If you want to know where to get started, I suggest playing around with a Flash trial for a while.

Actually what dean does is start with a blank 8x11 sheet of paper. He then draws his frames traditionally, but also includes shading lines.
When he's Coloring the frames in photoshop, he adds a layer in which he colors in the shaded areas and changes that layer's opacity.

So really, he'd be better off making flipbooks and toying around with opacity sliders in graphic programs.

EDIT- I FOOOUUUNDD IIIIT! Scroll down to the pencil sketch and there it is! "How-to-Elysian-tail"!

Erik · Jul 30, 2006, 01:44 AM

Looks like Michel Gagne is posting there too. Very cool.

I'm tired of people never caring about Nick Stadler.

Doubble Dutch · Jul 31, 2006, 12:14 AM

Yea; that guy was the first, he gave Jazz form. And he's still up and animating if I remember right.

This way when I'm done coloring the artwork, I can scale it to 50% for the final comp, and it'll make all the lines nice and anti-aliased.

Hey, that's how I always do! =D

Idea is different from form.

It was CliffyB who gave Jazz form though, even if JJ1 used Nick's. There were after all different Jazz sprites in the JJ1 beta, and I wouldn't be surprised if those were Cliff's.

Strato · Aug 1, 2006, 08:25 AM

Bear in mind another impressive figure. Dean is working at two times the highest HD-TV resolution. So those drawings are actually massive compared to how they turn out.

Edit : Well, that was back in 2003. I'm not sure what constitutes highest now.

Only so he can scale down to antialias.

He gave Jazz *a* form, not the form we assocaite with him today [Jazz 1 wise] I've seen those sprites, and it really wouldn't surprise me, it really wouldn't.

FreeLance · Aug 5, 2006, 07:22 PM

I've always been a big fan of Dean's style, but I really do like how Nick saw Jazz - it was more edgy and such. Now if they'd just compare size..

Iam Canadian · Aug 5, 2006, 10:52 PM

Wow. Those pictures of Noogy's are extremely impressive. While I'm not sure his style is the best one for Jazz, I can't deny that he's an excellent artist in his own right.

Doubble Dutch · Aug 9, 2006, 09:46 PM

Well then, work and practice toward your goal, and one day you just might.

Besides, we'll need your help with Jazz 3 when its released.

Xobim · Aug 10, 2006, 02:23 AM

IF it ever gets released...

Doubble Dutch · Aug 10, 2006, 09:40 PM

It will, the question is whether it'll be official or not. I mean even Commander Keen is having a fan movie made, so there's hope yet!

Xobim · Aug 11, 2006, 03:50 AM

The new game surely will be released, but at that time most fans probably have lost interest...

n00b · Aug 11, 2006, 07:23 PM

Stop comparing JJ3's realese date to the war in Iraq's conclusion.

Doubble Dutch · Aug 12, 2006, 04:01 AM

Yeah! Bush is a Jazz fan!

At this point, it seems Duke Nukem Forever will be released before Jazz 3. We must be doing something wrong here.

I disagree entirely. IM me sometime, I'll give you a rundown of how to do everything.

Doubble Dutch · Aug 18, 2006, 08:11 PM

Indeed; its UI may be a bit tetchy at times; but once you know a few basics you can go out there and flash people!
