I can probably speak for many people out there, that when we vision well designed animation, we may not consider simple flash animations. And among the large amount of cheap animations and stick figure fights there is Brackenwood by Adam Philips. Adam is an Australian freelance animator whose main body of animation work, for which he is best known, consists of flash animation compositions published on his website Bitey Castle and on the flash portal Newgrounds (there, as of March 2010, his movies have over 14 million views and he is one of the highest ranked artists). He is the creator of the Brackenwood series.
Readers should seriously take the time to at least watch one or two of this series.
You done watching? Alright then.
I think now you can see why they're so great. Adam has taken a simple medium and elevated it to a serious production level. The story he's crafted with Bitey (see picture)
is mysterious and exciting.The music and visual aspects all come together to make a great series.
And while it costs a fee, he does offer courses in animation for those who are interested. I think some cartoons on TV currently could use some pointers from this guy.
This is such a blast from the past. I remember seeing some of his animations of the Bitey character years ago! Made me really adore flash animations and animation in general. There are some amazing things people can do with Flash.
