In the NEWS!!!

Posted by TommYVF Apr. 29, 2008 @ 1:46 AM EDT

First, me and my twin brother were in the local newspaper lately! (See the picture below). It was an interview with us about Flash, Art and UKM. We also mentioned Newgrounds in the article.

UKM is a culture arrangement for the youth, where you can sing, dance, perform and show your art or movies, which we did. We sent in 5 of our movies! It was showed in the local arrangement, and the jury thought it was so good that the movies were on to the county arrangement. And guess what, all of the five movies got picked out as the best movies, and are going to be part of the land arrangement in Trondheim, the grand final of Norway! We were so surprised. So wish us the best of luck, and we may have a chance to win the whole thing! :)

The Pico Day Skate Collab is suibmitted! So what are you waiting for? CHECK IT, FOLKS! :D

ALSO, WE'VE SUBMITTED A NEW MOVIE!!!
It was originally for our confirmation, but we submitting it anyway: The Bible!
Yes, it's a movie of the bible. It's not meant to be a parody or something, but it's humorous. Watch it! :D
Check it out: THE BIBLE

Under is a picture of the interview... The headline reads "Twins with talent".

What do you mean by that?

Apr. 29, 2008 | 9:09 AM GlowingMonkey says:

Good luck in the UKM! :D

Apr. 29, 2008 | 12:18 PM TommYVF responds:

Lucky? Being in the news? Haha, not at all. They heard about us through the UKM, and that's not lucky... Or is it? :O

We're the same because we're twins, lol! :D

Apr. 29, 2008 | 11:45 AM K111 says:

congrats guys

Apr. 29, 2008 | 12:19 PM TommYVF responds:

lol i'd win 4 sure your grahpics r pur but yor winning cuz u have the resssourses of soundfx...without your no beteer then me when i wuz a noob

Apr. 29, 2008 | 2:32 PM TommYVF responds:

You've misunderstood. The Bible movie wasn't one of the five movies we sent to UKM, it was made for our confirmation, if you read that...

Also, we didn't focus on the animation in the Bible movie, because it's going to be showed to family and friends, not animators. So the plot, the story and the humor is the main aspects.

Apr. 29, 2008 | 3:09 PM q13qew says:

Ya and creating

Apr. 30, 2008 | 1:21 AM TommYVF responds:

That rocks! :P

Apr. 29, 2008 | 4:50 PM LordZeebmork says:

how the fuck can anyone stand animating on an eMac? I have one, and it can barely run Flash without fucking up.

Apr. 30, 2008 | 1:23 AM TommYVF responds:

Well, how old is it?
We have an extra ram "chip" in these, though... And we have an external harddisk for all our Flash files...
I'm going to buy an iMac pretty soon, I can barely stand this anymore, it's so laggy, and I can't play ANY good games... :(

Apr. 29, 2008 | 6:26 PM Griffonzo67 says:

Awesome! That's cool, it's either the newspaper had no other news or you guys are just talented....jk. Yeah, i just was at a student competition and got a 1st in web design in the state of Florida (the U.S mind you). Also created an animation which got top 10. Im getting there :D

Apr. 30, 2008 | 1:25 AM TommYVF responds:

The interviewers said it could be a double paged article, but I guess it came up more events to write about. :)
You're in web design? Cool... Are you making your own site, then?

You're always happy and you're cool and... Nice. :D

Well, are you my fan? I guess I don't have any good series yet. Just TwinTrash, but that's with Marcy. Anyways, I'm going to make a series. I'm storyboarding now. :3

May. 8, 2008 | 10:56 AM helang7 says:

May. 8, 2008 | 11:18 AM TommYVF responds:

Yay, a fan!! :D
Others aren't as happy as you are, many people ask me for Flash advice, but you're always optimistic. ^^

Yes, it's my guitar. Cool?

May. 9, 2008 | 6:55 AM helang7 says:

Yeshh awesome guitar :D behind Marcy :DDDD
and what's optimistic?? :O

May. 9, 2008 | 9:04 AM TommYVF responds:

Thanks... :]
Optimistic?
The dictionary sais: "hopeful and confident about the future"
I say: being happy all the time and hoping for the best! :D

May. 9, 2008 | 9:27 PM Goat-Man says:

I'm liking the new user icon, and main picture thing.
You user icon finally matches up with Marcy's, so that looks pretty sweet.

How is TT: 005 coming along?

May. 10, 2008 | 2:19 AM TommYVF responds:

Thank you. :)

We're always animating at some TwinTrash idea, and the one who gets finished first becomes TT: 005! :D
I'm animating on a music video right now. :3

May. 10, 2008 | 4:00 PM Goat-Man says:

Sounds much better than forcing yourself to do them in a specific order

May. 11, 2008 | 1:41 AM TommYVF responds:

Yeah, it's slack and cool. Dude. :P

May. 11, 2008 | 12:51 AM helang7 says:

What are u doing in TT now??

May. 11, 2008 | 1:40 AM TommYVF responds:

TT: 005 is a music video of a song... I say no more. :)

May. 11, 2008 | 1:59 AM helang7 says:

May. 11, 2008 | 3:34 AM TommYVF responds:

May. 12, 2008 | 10:47 AM TommYVF responds:

Sure, what do you want to do?

May. 11, 2008 | 4:17 PM Tolin says:

Cool, I'm from Norway too! Nice to have some good animators up here in north. :]
Haven't seen that article before, so I guess we are not from the same area.

Good luck!

May. 12, 2008 | 10:47 AM TommYVF responds:

Thanks! I live in Tønsberg, it's from "Tønsbergs Blad" :)

Maybe you'll see me in Dagbladet, VG or Aftenposten some time when I'm in Trondheim for the country arrangement? (Landsmønstringen...)

May. 13, 2008 | 8:12 AM helang7 says:

erm.. i dunoooo :3
you choose i gursse

May. 13, 2008 | 9:17 AM TommYVF responds:

Ideas?

May. 14, 2008 | 6:42 AM helang7 says:

huh??? =o=

May. 14, 2008 | 11:45 AM TommYVF responds:

What?

May. 15, 2008 | 7:01 AM helang7 says:

i thoght u start teh ideas??

May. 15, 2008 | 9:22 AM TommYVF responds:

We think it's quite stupid when people ask us to have them as a guest when they don't know what to animate. It's like bored animators that just want to hang on to a submittion to reach the front page...

May. 15, 2008 | 8:15 PM smaker45 says:

gog you guys rock i wish i was like you im only 12 so...... and im geting flash on b-day .. thats great you guys got in the new paper. total awsome. check out my post;. peace out guys.
