Sheez, these animations are really well done. Phillips has done an amazing job here, simply amazing.
Pity about the flash-plugin I’m using on my Mozilla. I need to get that fixed, gave me a few issues here and there. Not enough for me not to see the smooth anims and the absolutely wonderful way everything was put together.
As for the storyline, it’s a little too weird for me. I suppose, given the characters and the general project itself, it’s the kind of storyline to expect. Did have a very strange atmosphere to it, though.

It is good that someone writes articles which really matters something. Thank you for this article, it's full of knowledge which is hard to find in tons of rubbish in our famous world wide web.

Regards and good luck!

Adam Phillips continues to be one of the best animators on the internet today. Even though we were all blown away by his first hit "Prowlies at the River", he didn't slow down, finding new and exciting ways to tell his stories.

Beyond his obvious skill with the stylus, I'm increasingly impressed at how he creates and overcomes new challenges for himself. Sunlight, water, depth of field effects -- check them all off the list and find out what's next.

Adam has recently joined the Toon Boom community as well, and there's another great interview with him at toonboom.com. I look forward to witnessing his evolution with this new software.

Just staggeringly awesome.

This is how a Bone animation should look.

Absolutely gorgeous from beginning to end. Even more than his jaw-dropping water animation, my fave thing that Adam does is conveying info nonverbally. The gatherer in the river tossing a Waterlolly on the shore to show Bitey just what he’s in for is a masterstroke…a whole assload of exposition covered in one elegant bit of business. Nice.

It’ll be interesting to see what Adam’s feature project looks like…Brackenwood is definitely someplace I want to go back to, but personally, I prefer the short form. Either way…More, please!
