[edit] Ixintro Animation Enterprises

[edit] 2006
Ixintro's first ever widely released Flash movie was produced as part of his High School Animation Team titled "A Day In The Life of the Sayre Redskin". The movie's main character was the High School's mascot and included different teachers and the Vice Principal as well.
[edit] Awards
The movie received 2nd at the 2006 Pennsylvania High School Computer Fair in the Animation Category, an amazing feat as the Sayre Flash Team was the youngest group to ever win in the Competition. The movie has been, and most likely will remain unreleased as many of the source files have been lost... And also out of Ixintro's unwillingness to show his early, primitive work.
[edit] 2007
This year marks the last year Ixintro was involved with the Sayre High School Flash Club after the failure of their second movie, "General Knowledge", a story in the vein of Pixar films such as "Cars". The movie failed to get past the regional competition and was scrapped afterwards. It has never been completed but components, such as characters and props have been incorporated into earlier episodes of "Tywo At Large".
[edit] 2008
Even though Ixintro has been animating since 2005, this year marks the first year his work has appeared in a prominent venue, particularly such portals as Newgrounds and Camp North.
[edit] Tywo At Large
2008 marks the launch of Ixintro's series Tywo At Large, a Flash-animated comedy about the life of four teenagers and their misadventures in small-town America. Throughout the year, Ixintro released 3 episodes and 1 pilot for the show and it has begun to gain a modest fanbase.
[edit] Awards
Several of the episodes have also received some accolades from the art and internet communities. Episode #1 won 2nd in the Pennsylvania High School Computer Fair in the Animation Catagory and Episode #3 won a Daily 2nd Place trophy on October 22, 2008 on Newgrounds. The series also "won" "Best Undiscovered Series" in the 2008 Newgrounds Treasure Hunt.
[edit] 2009
As of April 2009, Ixintro has released one new movie, an April Fools episode of "Tywo At Large" where he joked about retiring from animation, the episode is entitled "The Snowball Effect". His previous works are still receiving accolades. Episode #3 received a few more awards including a Gold Key award in Animation at the 2009 Twin Tiers Region Scholastics Awards and received an "American Visions Award" at that same ceremony. Currently, Ixintro is working on several projects, including Episodes #4 and #5 of "Tywo At Large", including guest voice actors such as Hans Van Harken, Jon Etheridge, and Christopher A. Guerrero. He is also planning on releasing a new-and-improved cut of Episode #3, along with a few other pet projects.
[edit] Awards
"The Brunch Bunch" the third episode Ixintro's series, "Tywo At Large" won a Gold Medal at the 2009 National Scholastics Art and Writing Awards, his highest honor as of yet. This is after qualifying for the National level after winning a "Gold Key" at the Regional level along with an "American Visions" Award.
[edit] Other work
Ixintro has participated in 3 collaborations on Newgrounds so far, only one of which has been completed. Ixintro has now also been hired as an assistant animator for the internet comedy group, Tomorrow's Nobody. He will assist in their future animated projects, yet to be disclosed.
[edit] Experience
[edit] Animation
Ixintro is most skilled in animating in a multi-tween format where characters are built out of multiple tweened graphic symbols. He has also dabbled in frame-by-frame animation but rarely does as it is too time consuming.
[edit] Writing
Ixintro writes all of the episodes of Tywo At Large, sometimes accompanied by co-writer Slackerzac (Zachary Shedd). Shedd also supplies several voices in the series, including Principal Durnst and Sergeant Peterson.
