-READ THE HISTORY AT THE LOADING SCREEN-

This collab is relatively different from most collabs, it basically is ONE story line divided into 5 sections, and each section created by a different artist through their own artistic opinion on how it might have been.


i was very lucky to find the animators i found for the collab, i like em all because their styles are so different, and i think that in a collaboration project its always nice to bring different styles together and see how one thing can be viewed through different perspectives. But, now speaking of the animators i have to honestly admit that i am extremely thrilled to have someone aboard the project like Luis, i remember back when i was just starting Flash, my brother and i used his "Grime vs. Squeezy" bit as a good example of a flash animation for a long time. so it's funny to end up in the same boat now.


...This collab was first started off by a good friend of mine, i was only an animator making a part in his collab. but a few things got in his way and he didn't have time to get it all done, so he handed the project to me. and due to technical complications with members of the collab and information about this and that, i decided to completely redesign it and start from scratch.


since i already have SO many projects I'm working on i at first thought about accepting to lead this collab, but i think this idea was really interesting and would allow me and other animators to experiment with their more serious side. plus, i always wanted to make a Noire movie, or something along those lines for Newgrounds, and i thought this was the perfect opportunity.


anyways, this is the "Valentine '29" collaboration project, my first collab, maybe my last... but who knows. i hope you all ENJOY...

That was great! I loved how you took possibly the most famous Valentine's Day related thing ever to animated. My favorite was AlmightyHans. It was easily the funniest. Oh yeah, this was before Bugs Bunny. I loved how it formed a coherent plot.

It seems like we rarely have stuff here based on true stories. Well, some of it was exaggerated. I just loved the style. Everything is so easy to follow. It's just very organized.

st.valentine's day massacre back in 1920's Chicago on feb.14

oh my god

there should be a sequal

AlmightyHans responds:

this is based on a historical event. no sequels

I love it!

I also love how in the massacare scene you used the hitman theme song. AGENT 47 FTW!
