(If anyone is laughing, it's gonna be me)


Hello all, and welcome to the place where I brag about things that I do with my time. 


So, this week, got some good stuff going on. The Average Joe movie is coming along very, very, nicely with some amazing animation done by our talented, (and in Emily's case, very good looking) crew of animators. (I would compliment the dudes, but that would just be weird.)


Also, this week Andy has informed me that he inadvertently advertised for us in a documentary he was a part of. Mostly because I don't remember all the details, and because I'm lazy, I'm going to say, long story short, Andy gets the last line of the film and the caption states that he now composes music for NR-Animation Studios.


AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!


Also, we started animation on the christmas special this year. It's going to be a good one (mostly because I wrote it) but also because it looks HAMAZING so far. So be sure to look out for that and as always, thanks for watching!!!




 (Still from the Christmas special. Look for it December 12th! )

(It is here that awesomeness is made, in convenient cartoon form!)


Mine eyes hath seen the glory of NR animation's first feature length film, AVERAGE JOE'S GREAT ESCAPE!!! it is not only the best thing we've ever done, but the best thing anyone has ever done EVER!!! Two words, Terminator Teacher, that scene is just HAMAZING!! I just saw James' animation on it and I am more than blown away, I am FIRE AND ICED'd by how amazing this movie is turning out to be.


Also, this week, we finished up Average Joe commentary and Andy pitched me an HAMAZING idea for a short film. Needless to say we need extras. We need people to play dead bodies on a beach/battlefield. It would be a day of filming at the beach and everyone involved could say they were in a short film from NR Animation studios. Which is basically the highest honor anyone can ever receive (besides a congressional medal of awesomeness) but I will say that anyone who comes to the filming will be given a medal in the subsequent newsletter. EACH AND EVERY PERSON. So, you should all come then, I CAN GIVE OUT THIRTY METALS!!


Wow, that would be fun.


We also finished the commentaries for the Average Joe episodes. I think we're thinking about having them as down-loadable videos. We're also probably going to be selling a limited number of DVD's of the series. Hehe, thanks as always guys for watching and keep on waiting patiently for the movie, it will be worth the wait!!!

Week of 11/20/09


(Animators...the people who stand high upon the shoulders of writers.)


Okay so let's start off by dedicating this week's WEEKLY NRAWESOMENESS to our animators, James, Andy and the new guy.


These dude's spend A LOT of time just sitting at computers, clicking, dragging, lip syncing, all kinds of stuff with big words for names. And despite all their schedules, they still manage to take something great (my scripts for example) and bring it to life just as it was intended. People like these guys don't come along more than once (except in Pixar's case, but I'm convinced they're all just robots) so we need to make sure they know how much we appreciate them and all they do. Awesome job guys; here's to another five years!


Great, now that the sentimental stuff is finished, we can GET YOU, THE FANS (I hope) UPDATED!!! So this week, got a lot of work done on the Average Joe movie. I was able to critique and finalize the teacher's character models. James as always was great about changing little things here and there. I also continued working on the script for the Fifth Floor sequel, so that's going to be great. I do believe we're scheduled to start working on the Christmas special as well here soon.


On another note, we also continued recording commentaries this week. We have some great tracks for each of the Average Joe episodes on the DVD. Trust me, when you buy that, you will be BLOWN AWAY by all the awesome special features. And then you'll crawl back, beaten broken and scarred only to be BLOWN AWAY AGAIN by the actual series. It will be painful but remember, the pain makes you stronger...or something like that.

So, another productive week, thanks again to everyone who watches and Allan, Bi Bi, and Matt, I'm calling you out! Chris Moore watched all the Average Joe episodes in ONE NIGHT. I want you to beat that, BEAT IT!!!!

(I MAKE DEM'S ONLINE PICTURE SHOWS!!!)


The N, stands for Nethery, the R...really it stands for Ramsey but for the sake of this joke, IT STANDS FOR AWESOME. And the animation/productions, stands for THE STUFF WE CREATE!!!! *cue epic music* Now, you are afforded a glance into the world of NETHERY-AWESOME (Ramsey) Animation! WHAT WILL YOU DO!!!


Random Kid: "I'm gonna go to disney world!"


WRONG!!! FIRE, ICE, GOOOSH!!!!! YEAAAAaaaahhhh.........okay so we didn't meet this week alright? I used filler there to start off this week's segment because I don't have a lot to say. We're busy people, (especially me) we have homework, and work work (and newsletters) and we're just busy. But I didn't say our time was WASTED!!! DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN


Yeah, we got us a new animator. Someone Andy contacted who is pretty good from what I can tell.


James has also been sending me character models for the characters in our movie, AVERAGE JOE'S GREAT ESCAPE which are looking hamazing. (after I tell him to start from scratch and use the description I gave him that is.) But yeah so that's moving along nicely. If you haven't already done so, AND I KNOW YOU HAVE, check out our latest short film "The Animation Process."


Here, I'll even give you the link.

But yeah, and then I also started working on a new script this week for RETURN TO THE FIFTH FLOOR, a sequel to our blockbuster (sort of) hit, THE FIFTH FLOOR from a couple years back. I'm taking that idea, making it AWESOME and then making it MORE AWESOME. (because that's what I do) it's also part of our animation process so it works. But yeah, keep an eye out for new stuff guys and thanks for watching!

Yes, that's right, the animation process, NR-ANIMATION STYLE!!! Soooo good. Yes, we have all been busy this week but Andy, James, Emily, and I managed to find time to film that yesterday. I walked into the house, Andy Pitched the idea, and magic happened. Lots, and Lots, of magic. Really though that's how we animate stuff. And if you didn't know what happens when you combine fire and ice, well now you do.

In other news, the Average Joe movie has been coming along nicely, and since we're awesome, it's also gotten another sneak peek/preview. Check it:
