weebl's stuffEntry #2
Sometimes doing commissioned work can be a lot of fun. Zekey and I are doing 6 Weebl and Bob film parodies featuring Cadbury Creme Eggs and we've just had the 3rd one signed off so I'm relaxing a bit and can think for a moment without freaking out at the amount of work we've got ahead.
The good thing about doing jobs like this is having to work with certain ground rules. This may seem the opposite of fun but it forces you to spend a lot more time thinking about what you're doing and I think it's helping me become a better writer. All good experience for later on.
Being paid to do something also seems to have a psychological effect on you as well. I've found myself putting a lot more care into the sound design and music on these than I would normally and while I'm talking about the music, trying to make something in the style of the films we're doing is a great musical skills workout. I'm definitely going to make the soundtrack for the 3rd film available for download.
The other obvious benefit is that we can afford to keep paying people like Zekey, Peabo and Sexual Lobster to make animations for us, for a while. This makes me happy as they are all good people and deserve to be paid for what they do.

Thinking about what you're doing is one of the biggest problems in making anything

Have any advertising companies contacted you? I swear, your ability to make catchy, effective, and especially original earworms would be something an advertising agency would love to have.

I love all of these, as well as almost everything you have ever done! However, I was wondering if it would be possible to get recordings of every single song in the credits? Thanks!

Yes, but where the hell is 8-Bit Pwny Club 4?
All you need to do is record a couch, put on a Samus Recolor, an Alien invader sprite, and a handmade one, put some jokes (Seriously you've uploaded about 4-6 flashes this year), and you have something to put on newgrounds that'll be in the top 100 at the first week or so.

I like getting paid for things. I wish that I could be paid for a lot of things, but most of all, SCHOOL! School would be great if it had a bit of incentive... besides being successful... lol more on this topic to come, for now, I like your post.

Good luck with your future endeavours, I wish you all the best for the future and I'm glad you've got a creative thinking space within the rigid rules of advertisement. Makes toons much more interesting.
