"Site Re-organisation + Skit 21"

First of all Happy New Year! I will start this update by letting you know about the slight re-organisation of the site that I'm planning to do gradually. It mostly involves cutting out some of the unused pages and combining all the Flash 'movies' and 'games' onto the one 'Flash' page, which allows me to have the 'movies' page for the different kind of movie, as in the filmed variety, of which I uploaded several onto YouTube in 2007, yet I did not have anywhere to link permanently to on barnoproductions. I'm also planning to (finally) upload the 'Premiere Trilogy' videos on to YouTube, but I need to convert the file types first, which may take a while, and I'm going to tidy up the art page a bit more and also link to the Atrioventricular site, the legendary guitarspank alternative rock band of which I'm involved with.

Now for news of the first Flash release of 2008, which comes in the form of a skit I did on my laptop on a car journey. It's the 21st bpX: Skit and I think it captures some of the SCPUK 'controlled randomness' in it's content. Enjoy!

It's been a while, but I've returned to find the site has had over 700,000 visits, which is always good news. Reflecting back on the year so far, I think I would've liked to have updated the site more but it has been a busy work-related year, so next year I will give it a better shot at updating it.

I have however been filming a lot more and putting stuff on YouTube, so I'll hopefully get round to making a page with links to the videos soon, including a whole series of random comedy sketches called 'Stop Talking "BS"', which makes good viewing. For the mean time you can watch the videos here.

Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

"My Little Toasticles"

Sweet Wendy Kumar! Two updates in one month! Next you'll be telling me Atrioventricular have finished their debut album. What? They almost have? Well, maybe (minor) miracles do happen, and here is one in the form of a decent length Flash movie. The last new Flash I made was back in March (the 'Mama It's The End Of The World' was posted most recently but I made it a while before), and I thought "come on Barno, surely you can muster up something to keep your site and SCPUK going?"

My answer to that somewhat rhetorical question was to start drawing some animated toast in a toaster, in what became 'My Little Toasticles'. There were times when I thought I should give up on Flash all together, because I have to much to do, but I strived on here and there, and with really quite a short time of overall work I finished a movie clocking in at over 2 minutes.

It may not be the best movie I have ever made, but it may transpire to be one of the most important in terms of the continuum of the Smoking Chimney and barnoproductions bandwagon. I hope you enjoy it.

Also, 'Stop Talking BS' numbers 4 and 5 are out now on YouTube! And a random page view total: 684,330.

"Stop Talking "BS" on YouTube"

Hello again, and although it has been a long time, I have been working on a video project titled 'Stop Talking "BS"', which basically entails myself and buddy "Spizer" filming everyday situations and sketches, which I then edit down into under 10 minute episodes for YouTube. There are currently 3 episodes, and there are links to them below. I now may make a videos page on the site to link to all the videos I have on YouTube, including the Atrioventricular music videos. I also recommend viewing the videos using the little minimizer button on the video, to make the picture smaller, yet clearer :)

Good news for any of you (very few) people who were waiting for me to do anything, dear God, anything in Flash and release it. I've been working on a little impromptu animation starring two pieces of toast, which should be released soon. I'm off to university soon, but some of the bigger projects I've had in line are still set to be produced, so hang on in there, it'll be something to look forward to.

2 months later...

After a busy exam period in June, I have returned with an update for July, albeit the last day of the month. Of the projects in the pipeline, I will try to get one done over the summer, hopefully './/uppercut ZERO', the turned-based fighting game with tongue-in-cheek moves and characters. Since the last update, Newgrounds have given me and the rest of SCPUK a nice new layout for our profile page, which I have updated. It contains lots of facts and information about our Flash releases there over the years and can be viewed here. Also I've been filming quite a bit over the summer so far, randomly but also for Atrioventricular music videos, including completing a video for a track from the 'Hidden Wonders of AV' collection, entitled 'Roadsweeper Tim'. There's a mock-umentary on the subject of Dan, Minister of Disguise in SCPUK, buying some new trousers. I hope you enjoy the 2 videos and hopefully I'll update with a skit or something before the release of './/uZ', although I'm off for a week to Norway. Until then, thanks for visiting the site, and if you're looking for something to do, 'SMASH!: Reloaded' is always a good challenge.

Oooh! You could also look on my deviantart page, which I made for no reason other than to have a place to display a few of my drawings 'n' stuff. They even let me have the username 'barno', giving me a nice URL of 'barno.deviantart.com'. Splendid. Finally, I've read the final Harry Potter book and it is the best book I've ever read, and I've read many good books. It just has everything and is an epic finale to the whole series and definitely worth a read. Don't believe any of the poncy sceptics writing reviews for newspapers who consider themselves above the books, because no one can be above a book that is so full of lessons and morals, as well as being a cracking story.
