Flash-Animated Features
Animation is often a singular pursuit. 
It’s you, the pencil, the paper and the idea - battling away for hours on end.
But a feature? On your own? Bill Plympton is superhuman - painting 30,000 cels by himself. Nobody else would try this, right? Wrong.
With the help of Flash, it’s happening. There are at least two such projects currently WELL underway - ‘Minushi’ and ‘The Chosen One.’ Tyler Gibb and Chris Lackey, respectively, have almost single-handedly produced feature films.
According to the producers, ‘The Chosen One’ “uses ensemble comedy and comic book action to weave a tale about competitive gods, bizarre cults and one ‘average’ guy’s road trip to save the world.”
‘Minushi’ is described as an animated 
Understandably, Chris is looking for help to finish his film. And no freebies - he’s willing to pay animators to help him. If you’re interested, please send your info Chris.

I wish the animation for “The Chosen One” was better. It would make it more interesting to watch. Btw, Aaron, I emailed you something very interesting.

“The Chosen One” is considerably more inventive than anything Adult Swim has spit up lately. The Chosen One hitting on the female jogger is a laugh. I agree the animation is sparse but it doesn’t detract because the voice talent and script are solid. I see way too much eye candy that moves beautifully but doesn’t involve or engage. I enjoyed “The Chosen One” and look forward to future clips.

my hats off to anyone with balls enuff to produce their own ideas on a larger scale and see them thru to completion. these are extremely ambitious projects and I can’t knock them no matter how much they don’t work for me stylistically. what’s more important to me is that it’s evident the creators believe in their projects and made honest and sincere attempts to produce them the best way they could…great animation, style, or not.
I can’t predict what the monetary benefits will be for either project, but, in terms of success, in my opinion, the sheer fact that they’ve actually “produced” films already makes successful.
Continued success to both of them and all other assertive independent creators making dreams a reality.

Hey, thanks for all the submissions for help. I hired a guy only days after the post and he’s working out swell. I got a LOT of really amazing people who submited samples and wish I had enough dough to hire them all.
I wish I was a better animator myself, but you just do the best you can and hope that people dig it. Thanks for the encouraging words Ian and Ree!
Thanks for the support!
