When I was 18 years old, I bought a program i thought would bring my ideas to life. It was called Anime Studio Pro 6. I saw some videos on youtube liked what I saw. I thought it was really good.....I was DEAD WRONG. For one the drawing tool is AWFUL! When you draw something, a bunch of dots appear on the screen and there is no way to get them off. Secondly, literally everything you do needs a layer! You can't animate by keyframes, you have to draw one thing, go into another layer, draw something else, go into another and the cycle continues. Somebody made an action script tool where you could use keyframe animation, but even then that was a pain. I had never touched that program all throughout 2010.....SO WHY DID I INSTALL IT ON MY COMPUTER AGAIN!? Well there is a very talented animator who uses sprites. You might have heard of him, his youtube name is ifureadthisdie. He wanted to combine 2D with 3D elements so he tried to make a background in Anime studio Pro 7. He said the program has WAY TOO MANY glitches. They messed up his sound, his background, or as he put it "the video entirely" was messed up. He got so angry he didn't even thank his viewers. While he hated the video I actually thought it was pretty legit. So i tried out the 3D feature in there, and it was actually kind of cool. I told my friend John, a stop motion animator, and he told me that Anime Studio has way too many things missing in it.......Oh man. I might try and make a background in it one day. But for now, time to finish up this fight scene on my Mario project. I'm out!

Hey waddup! This is TheGreeNate! Okay so far the script is already done and right now i'm working on character designs and storyboarding. I've got one voice actor who said she's up for it. She's known as Vero-Chan. I heard her demo and she's really good! She's gonna be doing a couple of voices. She hasn't seen the script yet but i plan on sending it out this week. With all the work going into this project it may take a while for me to complete but hopefully I can get it done by the end of the school semester. I've already got a lot of people as well as two art professors who want to see the conclusion and that is driving me to complete it. I hope ya'll are looking forward to it.

Now for the next topic, THE ROCK HAS RETURNED TO RAW! No, i'm not kidding. My sister had an avatar of him on her facebook profile and told me he returned. I didn't believe it. So I went on youtube and looked it up and there were a lot of videos with titles of his return to raw. i thought it was one of those fake edited WWE videos that most people have made. Then I clicked on one of them. Sure enough, the rumors were true! To no one's surprise, he still has that electrifying aura that has always been with him throughout all of his years in the WWF/WWE. When you hear "IF YA SMELL!" the crowd still goes insane and shits their pants, and to tell you the truth, I'm one of those fans. I was literally abusing the replay button on that video I saw. On top of all that, on top of all that he has a new theme arrangement AND I'M DIGGIN IT! Man not havin cable sucks right now Oh well I'm sure somebody will upload Wrestlemania on youtube like always. One more thing, why did people think Justin Bieber was gonnna host Wrestlemania? LOL I'm out! Will coninue with more updates on the project!

Yes this is the final installment to my Blue Vs. Green series. Right now i'm doing what i did for the second part of the series,which is study other animations and cartoons. While i'm happy with how my second installment came out I feel like since this will be the final installment it really needs to be good! I also am going to be going around looking for voice actors fir this project. I feel like since i voiced the characters, voice acting will be expected in this new project. I'll need a fighting announcer and crowd spectators. I'll give voice acting another shot by voicing blue and green again. anyone interested? feel free to hit me up! Til then i'm out!

First off I hope everyone had a good Christmas and are looking forward to the new year.
Well as you can tell by the title of this post, I really need voice actors.....bad. I recorded some lines for my new project and I absolutely SUCK!!!!! I'm flat out horrible! Picture Castlevania Symphony of the Night, but with ten times the cheese. I'm that bad! Please if there is anyone out there who thinks they are good, or just has a microphone and are interested in getting in on some of my projects possibly this upcoming one, pm me and I'll send you some lines. Until then ya'll take care, PEACE!!

WADDUP NEWGROUNDS!
Well I announced before. that I'm working on a project in toon boom. But I have to do it since it was an assignment from my professr at West LA. And get this, he's my painting professor! I have to finish this by tuesday! Here is how it happened:

I'm In class. I had no painting tools so I busted out with the laptop, the tablet and booted up Toon Boom. Everyone saw what I was doing and had a good laugh. Then my professor saw it.

Professor: Wow! That looks really good. *laughs*
Me: Thanks man! I really-
Profesor: Finish it and bring it back tuesday. That's your assignment. I wanna see how it turns out.
Me:....

Man this isn't even an animation class and I have to complete this by tuesday! Well one scene is done and that's good news. So keep an eye out for my animation. Oh boy, I hope this turns out decent.

Well I might have already mentioned but I do have Toon Boom Studio and I have just been messing around with it over the past few months. Also I have been looking at alkot of animations and cartoon shows for reference and stuff like that. Expect something from me by the end of this year, or by the beginning of next year. With that being said, PEACE!

I've got a lot of ideas once I learn how to use this program, I promise I will be bringing all of my ideas to life. Well, take care, keep helping this site kick ass, I'm out!

This is TheGreeNate how is everyone doin? Now this may be old news to me but I had no Idea that they were making a new Mortal Kombat movie. I saw the seven minute trailer on youtube and they have Jax Briggs being played Miachael Jai White. Now he's a cool actor so I don't really mind this much. However when you see the trailer, you might be in for massive AND I MEAN MASSIVE crap.

Which brings me to the next subject. There are rumors going around that a Metroid movie is in the works. And it is being directed by Uwe Boll......and the actress that is rumored to be playing Samus Aran is....get ready folks....

*drum roll*

*dramatic silence*

JESSICA SIMPSON!!!!!!!!

Now Nintendo knows what happened with Super Mario Bros (dear God) so why would they make a Metroid movie? Now remember this is a rumor but I have a direct quote from Go Fanboy. Here is what it said: "Ms Simpson feels the plot is too complex and would like to move the plot closer to it's core story of love and adventure."

I think I'll stop right there....

HELLO NEWGROUNDS!
I am Nate Brooks and I have been a fan of this site and it's awesome flash animations for quite sometime. A friend of mine showed me some of it's video game parodies (typical ain't it) This site really kicks ass and I wanna help it kick even more ass! How? BY MAKING MY OWN ANIMATIONS! Now I have been doing a lot of research and looking up videos on Toon Boom Studio. I found out that alot of animation companies use it and it looks really powerful. I've seen very few animations of it on Youtube. Some good, some bad. What I wanna do is use this software to bring my ideas to life. I have a trial version of it and I'm just gonna mess around in it for a while. For right now though expect some of my artwork up here. Til' then guys,

PEACE!
