Obtainment of the fresh new Zords.

Glad to say I'm already keeping myself on schedule to doing one scene per week, so Scene 2's all finished. Here's a few screencaps yet again:

The Rangers make their way towards the Monolith in true Naruto style...by jumping through endless backgrounds of trees. Always works!


But dangers lurk within Planet Buut2dahed's deadly forests, the greatest of which awaits them at the site of the Monolith!


The Rangers are a bit shaken up...


But their fearless leader's ready to go!


...and their new Zords await them at the end of their quest! With their giant merchandise-worthy vehicles now obtained, it's time to head back to Earth for the final showdown!

"Alpha, shit's goin' down." + "Aye-yai-yai-yai-YAI!!"

Zordon of Eltar & Alpha 5 - Okay so for obvious reasons I'm only gonna briefly touch on these guys. Similiar to my lack of care towards Flyguy, it's hard to get attached to these two, because they're literally NOT characters of my creation. The Rangers are throwbacks to the original five Mighty Morphin' team, but for the most part they're characters I put my own artistic ability into. Not to say I didn't try to do anything funny with my "versions" Zordon or Alpha, but there's a lack of enthusiasm on my part.

Their characters are essentially set, but were magnified, also similiar to Flyguy, by Egoraptor's take on their voices. Zordon's whole deal, especially at the very beginning with Parody Rangers 1, was based on the "Zordon's Dilemma" clip that Arin recorded years ago. I heard his Alpha impression at some point as well and by the time the inspiration had set in from his clips, it was a perfect chance to animate his characterizations of the two. They end up having kind of an abusive relationship as seen throughout the series, which is damn impressive considering it was Ego literally going back and forth talking to himself between all three voices seamlessly.

So with their characters basically already existant, for the Movie I wanted to utilize them for a different purpose throughout the long and arduous animation process. With Zordon I focused mainly on using interesting facial features and expressions, due to his lack of a body (or particular body, as you'll see in PART 2) and how I had drawn him slightly more intricately for the Movie, I had fun coming up with crazy drawings for his rants and..."gasps". Meanwhile with Alpha, he became much funner to animate than in the series, as I've realized the way I illustrate him in flash is a bunch of McDonalds food. His arms and lower body look like fries, his dome-head looks like a burger, his little arm-claw thingies look like onion rings or something...or possibly the two golden arches along with his torso that makes up the Happy Meal bag. Good lord.

Towards the phallic symbol.

We're back! Sorry for the long delay. Part 3 of the Parody Rangers Feature, the grand finale, is in the works at long last. One of eight scenes has been finished thus far and I expect to have the full thing done in early to mid-July. Here's a few screencaps for ya.


Splooge, still accompanied by Renaldo, Flyguy and Morty as his lackies, at the Orgasmotron construction site.


Can the Juniors do anything to save their parents being forced to work manual labor!?


Meanwhile our heroes ponder over the shape of the monolith where the Powerful Power of Powerfulness lies.


...while Zet and Nekoneko have an awkward afterglow.


...and Alpha gets Cable! What's on the News?

More to come! Movie completion percentage is currently: 13%

Rough times...

Yeah, a billion things have come up. Some bad, some good, but essentially all of it is getting in the way of this project. We'll have to see how it goes, but again, I DO plan on finishing up this movie one way or another.

HM-HMMM~!

It's the Supah Crazy-Ass Renaldo Rangers!

A commission for good 'ol Psyguy. This is a spin-off starring Go! Go! Parody Rangers villain, Renaldo! It takes place between the 2nd and upcoming 3rd Part of the Parody Rangers Feature Movie and was co-written by Psy and myself. Renaldo always dreamed of having his own team of Power Rangers, so thanks to the power of friendship and cold hard cash, his wet dream come horribly true! Hopefully you'll excuse the corner-cutting animation for this one, I had to get it done quicker, so you'll notice stock heads and mouthflaps. Regardless, hope you get as much of a laugh out of it as Psy and I did, enjoy!

Sorry for the delay on this one folks, still really busy with lots of other crap. I'll be editing the audio for Part 3 of the Movie soon, so hopefully I can get the next part finished sometime over the summer. Renaldo can tie you guys over for a little bit, HM-HMM!

Slight hitch.

There'll probably be a NG blog post about this that I'll put up later, but I figured I may as well put it here too.

Now, there's no "drama" or any crap like that behind this, only business stuff. Long story short, the remaining parts of the Parody Rangers Feature can no longer be sponsored my funding from Newgrounds. There may be more details on that specifically in the near future, whenever the folks on the NG staff feel comfortable with mentioning more about it, but as far as it affecting me, there may not be any money involved on the project from here on out unless something drastic changes.

However, when I wrote the original script with the others back in '07, I went into this with no idea of Newgrounds sponsorships even being prevalent in the flash animation community. Tomamoto, who had been getting more involved with the project even after we recorded his lines for Evan Splooge, made the suggestion to me since he knew it wasn't gonna be an average flash movie considering the amount of time that would be going into it. Tom Fulp was gracious enough to allow me sponsorship for Parts 1 & 2 as well as the $00pah NiN10Doh! collaboration. Point is, my goal is still to finish this project to the very end and cap off the Parody Rangers "franchise" as it were, regardless of money issues.

For the time being, I'm focusing on a few other projects I have in the works, one of which being the Renaldo Rangers one-shot which obviously is more directly related to the Movie, as it takes place between Parts 2 & 3. My student film will be out on May 1st, Brawl Taunts 3 will be out on May 7th and I have a concept I may be trying out later during that month. Renaldo Rangers has no release date as of now, but it won't take too long to finish up, I just haven't had a whole lot of drive to work in general the past couple weeks. I'll get goin' with it, no worries.

More than likely I'll be working on Part 3 over the summer if things don't get incredibly busy for me. I'd imagine it won't take incredibly long to do this part since it's a bit shorter than the others. Part 4 (yes it's going to be 4 now) may take a little longer, but god damn I'll finish this thing if it kills me.

HMM HMM

Sorry for the lack of updates, been incredibly busy with other animation-related stuff and school is nearly done so the pressure's been building. Part 3 is on hold for the time being, but once the summer starts I'll be gettin' back into it again. In the meantime however, you can look forward to a little spin-off coming out relatively soon ;]
