I really enjoy Waterlollies by Adam Phillips. I have watched his work grow on the website www.newgrounds.com for years now. To believe that animation like this is created in flash is outstanding. Most flash artists are not capable of putting this much detail into flash to the extent where it looks like it was actually drawn on paper and coloured in. His impressive blending methods, and the accurate line structures within the characters is what makes him stand out from the rest. He is the God of newgrounds.
Basic Information:
Adam Phillips (born January 1971) is an Australian freelance animator whose online alias is Chluaid (pronounced 'Clyde'). His recent work, for which he is best known, has consisted of flash animation compositions published on his website Bitey Castle and on the flash portal Newgrounds (there, as of May 21, 2009, his movies have over 12 million views and he is one of the highest ranked artists). He is the creator of the Brackenwood series.
Adam Phillips was a featured artist at the Adobe Design Center for the month of December, 2006. The alternate soundtrack for the YuYu in that link was composed by Lee Miller.
Pinhole camera:
A pinhole camera is a very simple camera. Instead of having a lens, it has a whole to project the image through onto paper. For our camera we used a beer can. We created this camera using the sources of a can, black card and some tape. In order to create this image we must expose the hole when in contact with your chosen landscape for around 8 seconds. From here we developed the pictures inside, some were successful and some weren't. Most of them weren't! HA!
Advantages:
- Its quick and simple.
- Its a quick process (unlike a shop were you have to develop it).
Disadvantages:
-It can damage easily.
-The pictures dont always develop well like a professional camera.
-Your not able to see through a lens what your capturing.
