No worries.

If it wasn't obvious, I've been taking a break at the reccomendation of a few peers. Despite a lotta things that've happened since the "production" of this thing started, I absolutely plan on finishing it. I have enough motivation and drive at the very least and want to finish what I start. By Christmas vacation I'll be starting on the animation process of Part 2. I'll probably be revising some parts of the script that I simply don't find funny anymore, but for the most part the movie will remain as is. Stick with me, folks.

Kay-Me-Ohz!

So among the additional voices in all of -Part 1-'s complete runtime were a few special guests here and there. Here's a couple of 'em that might interest you guys:

Jonathan C. Osbourne - Voice of Gaimon & Shojo in the FUNimation dub of One Piece, played Tron villain "Sark" in the tail end of scene 2. Funnily enough, my Dad (who previously played Lord Zedd on the phone in GGPR2) was the voice of the Master Control Program.

Martin Billany - Better known as LittleKuriboh, creator of "Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series", going along with his joke of Dan Green being one of the minions of Ivan Ooze (which he wasn't, but anyway...) and thus I designed one of the Rats with Yugi's crazy hair.

Joey Blanchette - Also known as LegendaryFrog, one of Newgrounds' old school animators from things like "One Ring To Rule Them All" lent his voice to the talking Gnarwal sword. He ended up using a voice like Homsar from Homestarrunner, hence why it's drawn that way.

Part 1 : Episode 1

Go! Go! Parody Rangers: THE MOVIE - Part 1 "You Splooge You Lose"
[Episode 1-1 - Runtime: 5 Minutes 49 Seconds]

Our heroes are back in action and kick off their summer with some TOTALLY EXTREME sports in their spare time...but as usual, all is not well. Lord Zet and his sinister crew have a new secret weapon, uncovered in the midst of a chance explosion that gives the villains a huge advantage! The Rangers must face what could be their most powerful and certainly most disgusting foe yet, but this time their powers alone may not be enough.


The entirety of Parody Rangers: THE MOVIE -Part 1- is about 14 minutes in length and will be split into three seperate pieces for submission to Newgrounds. Part 1's animation process began in May of 2008 and was continued and finished in early September, all the while sharpening my overal animation skill and ability. This movie is completely traditionally animated by myself and was made for Newgrounds promotion. This film is NOT for kids and contains plenty of innapropriate (not to mention, immature) humor. If this sort of thing isn't up your alley or if you are offended by such content in any way, please feel free to give it a pass. Otherwise, to the fans who've followed along with Parody Rangers previously, I hope you enjoy it for what it is and have some fun!


Thanks everyone who tried to help with the submission problem: Marc Levy, Dave Smith and Bryon Beaubien, as well as my incredible voice cast and special guests for the movie, Kira for mastering the audio and several friends of mine for testing and giving feedback on this project. GO!

Patience is a virtue.

We're workin' on it. This past week has mostly been dedicated to the tech side of things and getting all five scenes that make up Part 1 to work in a way that it can be submitted to Newgrounds. Much of this I owe to Marc Levy, otherwise known as "God of Chaos" who has the patience of a saint, helping me out with his video and general tech knowledge to get this thing done for you guys. Just bear with us for a little more and it should be completed soon. Sorry for the delays.

We're in business.

The animation process of Part 1 is now officially complete. The final steps to be taken are the audio mastering and then compiling. If everything goes smoothly, Part 1 should be up for what I hope will be your viewing pleasure within the next week. Here's hoping...
