Thats right. I'm sure most of you that visit this site are into animation and have at least played around with Flash. Because of this, I'm sure you're a regular at the most popular Flash-animation site on the web, NewGrounds.com. And because of this, I'm sure you're familiar with the crazy-awesome Madness series and Madness Day that NewGrounds hosts every September 22nd. Last year I decided to participate in Madness Day for the hell of it. I had a somewhat original idea of Madness-tizing a few of the NewGrounds staff and throwing them into the cartoon. It turned out terrrible great. It landed in 13th place and I won $250.00 and a NewGrounds t-shirt. Not bad.
Well, Madness Day is slowly approaching again this year, and I'm really looking forward to entering. I was going to work on finishing Madness - Cupcake and submit that for the competition, but because of Rid's nagging about how he wanted to do a sequel to HQ Madness 1, I gave in and we started work on it. So Madness - Cupcake is returned to the depths of my harddrive, to take another long break. (I will finish that one day, lol, I swear.)
I feel great about HQ Madness 2. I don't want to give much away, but you can probably tell this from the poster above alone- the basic plot is about a confrontation with Wade (the lone survivor of HQ Madness 1) and the lead zombie that killed his brother, Tom. That's all I'll tell you. The rest you'll have to wait for.
While I'm doing all of the Flash work, Rid is working behind the scenes as the movie's Writer and Director. He's about half way done with the script right now and I have to say, I love how this movie is turning out. It's a really great plot that's not too difficult for me to actually bring into reality with Flash.
As for myself, just yesterday I finished up the main menu (which looks like virtual sex, imo). I also began work on the animatic (animated storyboard) of the script so far. I've never done one of these, but many of the professionals do it, so I figure it can't hurt. It'll probably help me pace myself, aswell.
Alright... I think that's about all I can write about this as of right now... As we progress with the movie we'll both post a little more here and there, probably along with screenshots of what we have finished. Hope you enjoyed this post. Now go comment on what you guys think

Happy Monday
