Today's guest if you haven't figured it out by the video above already is none other than that twisted man himself. His works include that of Edd vs Pie: Random (2004), The Dudette Next Door, - Tribute -, Hammer & Fail, and recently Hammer & Fail 2. These crazed characters can only come from a mind just as crazy, none other than Edd Gould a.k.a. as @eddsworld.
Q: How did you find Newgrounds and why did you join?
A: I found Newgrounds, if i remember correctly, after being linked to fellow stickmen animators stuff being judged within the portal. From there i discovered the Assassin area of which i spent many hours on (mainly killing telletubbies if i remember rightly) before finally realising i could submit my own flash content! But the first animation/game i watched off the front page was 'Osamagotchi' (search for it!)
Q: Your first flash submission would be entitled Edd (2003). An interesting little music video what is this flash about and looking back on it are you still proud of it to this day?
A: Can't say i'm too proud of it.. I didn't even know how to stream the audio back then! But it is impressive how i managed to synch up certain parts of the movie regardless. It does however please me to watch back to see how much my life has changed since i have made that animation. Maybe a second sequel is overdue.
Q: We begin our trip into Eddsworld with Edd vs Pie: Random (2004). You say it's random, but even something random can draw inspiration from somewhere. Where did yours come from for this?
A: Oh god, i honestly just did a few animation tests and thought it would be fun to synch it to some music. O Fortuna was the first thing that came to mind and of course we all know how popular pie is with animators (Weebl and LegendaryFrog come to mind) this was simply a ess of bits i had previously made with a pie sub-story added, haha.
Q: Edd vs Tom (2004) is an important flash to you is it not? When and how did you meet TomSka and how did the collaboration go on making this in other words how did the ideas form the flash?
A: If i recall correctly, me and Tom met on another stick animating site formally known as StickSuicide.com (now known as Explosm) where they had a similar animation portal to Newgrounds, but one day Tom added me simply as a fan wanting to talk. Then eventually we thought it would be fun to do a joint animation and it seemed best to start with a simple fight where we passed the baton back and forth. But boy did it get complicated! It was originally set to go on longer but we had to stop it where we did due to the file being too big to send back and forth!
Q: The Dudette Next Door would be a hilarious flash movie that would have a hilarious plot twist at the end. What can you tell us about the idea of this flash and how it came together? Also what's it like to work with Rina-Chan?
