Thanks man, I still haven't cracked 200 subs but I got 48 in the last month thanks to Sp00nage 2 and a collab I worked on with the Frederator folk, so that was cool. Just got to keep on churning out content.

Yus!
Hey there! about your recent time lapse video, you are right, that wont ignite a flood vlog or lets play content, but it will promote a thing that has already happened before and is live action production, and there is a reason for why videos like the numa numa dance are not allowed to be hosted here anymore, even if that video has become a classic of NG and the internet.
Actually we went over a similar thing like this before when we openly discussed about speed paint videos, and the conclusion was that as long as no flood was produced it was ok to have it, mostly because they had the possibility to fall in the tutorial category, and even be annexed under the art portal.
However these time lapse videos whit a stop motion technique have the same nature but not the same problems as the unedited photographs on the art portal which are not allowed, and is because they are mostly live imagery, i don't remember what level of edition a photograph has to have sustained for it to not get banned from the art portal, but it needs to be a fairly notorious modification, and if you get a submission banned you also get unscouted, in the flash portals there is no such thing as getting unscouted so you have less pressure when uploading content, what i am trying to say is that the site (both users and the idea of page itself) is very particular about this kind of media, and only some limited exceptions may get to survive.
Since this is an isolated case i don't really think that it will get removed, but lets think about the future, what if more people decide to follow this idea and submit similar works? Even if they use an animation technique it can be argued that is not really an animation video, but just a a live action one. Following this mental exercise of a future scenario, and having into account that you don't consider YT an art friendly site, what about using Vimeo? using Newgrounds is great but until the policies change live-action is to be a very special thing here, a rarity allowed only for certain times and circumstances.
But i am not really here to discourage you (even if i mention vimeo), if you see the opportunity to generate a positive change, and you think that this kind of content can do it and improve the page, then please go ahead.

Nice little animation. Shaun did a good job with the voice acting. What programs did you use for all this i.e. Animating software, video editing software, sound editors?

Hey man, good to see your around! Shaun always does a tip top job, that was his first take as well.
It was animated entirely in flash, with just a little bit of post done in After Effects and I do all of my editing in Premier. The sound was done in Audition. Im paying for Creative Cloud so I might as well learn to use all of it. (That said i've been using Premier and After Effects for quite a few years now, ever since Final Cut turned into a steaming pile).
