Looking to interview Flash artists

[cptyossarian]

Hey folks,

I'm looking to interview Newgrounds artists who have worked on at least one Flash collab or group project. Stories I'd love to hear from you include...

- How you got involved with Flash and Newgrounds
- Your experiences working on collabs
- What's fun and what's hard about working on collabs
- Etc.

Why am I doing these interviews? Good question. My name is Kurt Luther and I'm a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). My group builds tools to help people work together online. By talking with people like you, we'll get a better idea of what problems we might be able to solve.

If you're interested, please visit our website. It has more information and an email address where you can contact me.

One more thing: this study has been approved by Newgrounds admins (Denvish), and I've already interviewed a number of artists from the Flash forum. However, I'm still looking to talk to more people, so please contact me if you're interested.

Again, if you're interested, please contact me through our website. That's the best way to reach me. Thanks!

Woah, like deja-vu.

Regs; it's a really easy interview, I did it through e-mail.

I encourage you all to do the interview if you can.

Kindly shut up.

It's a legitimate thread. Let him interview the forum users. If you got Goatse then you probably have a virus or spyware on your computer.

Actually, I don't think I've heard of any submissions from you.

On topic: I think I might have a go.

Yhtomit, you're going to have to remove the referral link in your sig, those are not permitted any longer. Thanks.

That was probably from me. :) The project has been ongoing for awhile because we're trying to talk with a wide variety of people.

wait... so you must actually physicly TALK to us? I would've said yes but... I live in canada... so phone/meet is kinda out of the question... why wouldn't email or instant chat work?

[Splurda]

Thanks for your interest! In fact, I'm quite happy to call you at my expense. Most of the people I've interviewed have been international. If you're worried about time zones, I don't mind being the one to stay up late/wake up early.

It doesn't have to be a phone/Skype interview, but I strongly prefer it. In my experience, people talk about ten times more over the phone than they do via email or IM.

[Onion-fusioN]

I'd do it but I'm not into collab pieces. Most of them are like KK. =/

[Gorilla-Studios]

I wouldn't mind being interviewed. I've contributed in a few collaborations including Valentine 29', NG Sketchbook Tour 07', Don't Panic Collaboration, Ball Collaboration and a few others.

Hell yeah! I did this interview with the same guy but a while ago so there is really no need in doing it again but I'd recommend for all users to take it... especially those who managed a collaboration (and if the collaboration won an award (not turd of the week) definitely take the chance)!

I have been the organizer of one collab which ended up getting Daily 3rd(to my surprise), so I'm thinking of taking this interview.

The reason I'm doubting is the fact that I'm not quite as comfortable talking as writing in English, it shouldn't be any major problems though :)

It's all through e-mail, you should have no problems.

Ok, he mentioned above he prefers phone/skype, but I guess that e-mail would be better for both ours sakes in my case :)

[cptyossarian]

I believe I've contacted everyone in this thread who has shown an interest in the study. If not, please send me an email and we can get a conversation going.
