Something that might help the readers gain some interest is to make your claim sound more legitimate.

Here's a few questions I though of that might help people jump on board this.

Do you have a website?
How long have you been in music?
What's some of your background?
What are the frame rate specifications?
Where's a link to the song that we are animating to?
What does the animator get in return? Money? Credits?

No, I won't drop out, I know how it feels to have someone do that.

And I believe I told you what my idea is on AIM.

All is well.

I just sent a routine PM message just as a reminder to EVERYBODY so yeah no worries.

PART UPDATE!

A PM will go out to every single participant in this collab about the status of their part. I will also ask if they are even still interested in the collab anymore.

People who aren't on the accepted list have either not shown me an example of their art and animation skill or haven't told me if they are going to participate for sure.

A collab signature was nice last year and it would be cool if you someone could make one. It helps attract more people to this project and will help get things flowing. Front page posts about this would be nice as well. ;)

Also, if you know people who are somewhat decent at animating, wanna try to get involved, by all means forward this thread to them cause Im gonna guess that there will be some drop outs in this collab.

Finally, for your part to be considered finished, I need a copy of your .fla file.
Just a reminder for everybody.

Instead of tweening the note down, you could have santa pick it up and read it, then show the text and have it end the way it does.

Nice concept!

I cant wait till Winter Flash off!
It's my favorite contest all year!

and if it is something you have seen on tv or in another source it would probably be better if you try and stay way. Try to be creative with what youve got.

Well Toki911 already drew and started to animate this amazing looking Grinch, so I gave it the ok.

Well the hands go up is a place, but i think the prostitute is one that definitely need a more energetic entrance, especially since it is the punchline.

At 11/17/09 12:30 AM, Fautzo wrote: thanks man!

Well the real reason i'm rushing is because very soon i'm going to get overloaded with projects very soon.

seriously we're already almost done with second quarter because we started school in July.

no worries.
If you could just fix the few things though, that'd be nice. ;)

At 11/17/09 12:10 AM, Fautzo wrote: here we go

http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1258432315

Im gonna remove the title card btw.
Also, the blur tool with pixels looks really bad so if you could fix that, that would be swell.

Also also, I was hoping youd use abit more frame by frame action there so if that could be added to fix up some of your tweens, that would also be swell.

Also also also, you got plenty of time, so you don't needa rush things. ;)

pretty good though!

At 11/16/09 11:04 PM, Fautzo wrote: okay, i'm done, i just need to put my name graphic in.

One problem, does anyone know how the put your name graphic on without the v-cam effecting it? Putting it in another layer doesn't work.

Im just gonna do names for everybody like last year.
Last year, it worked alot easier to just put the name in the first few seconds of the part.

At 11/16/09 07:13 PM, Daneximuz wrote: Hey everyone.

I just noticed the deadline.... lol

I might not make it, but I LOVE the pressure when it comes to turning in something on time.

Hey, if you need a few extra days, take em.
Idk If I can make this collab w/o one of your parts. :3

I still haven't done anything but I promise that in less than 5 days I post something up. :D

Remember, I never post anything more than a screenie Mexifry.

Right.
If you could post the # of frames finished to give us an idea of HOW finished you are, that would help alot.

PS. Plz make my name with a capital D.

ok. :)

Fawx already joined btw.

At 11/16/09 03:34 PM, Fautzo wrote: can i do the icon?

Also, does it have to be a special custom one, or just a still from the movie?

It can be either, but from past experiences the custom icons tend to turn out MUCH more interesting than the stills.

Also, I'm gonna do it like i did previous years and throw an Icon contest for whoever makes the best icon gets one of the coauthor spots.

Part Update

Seeing as the parts might get rearranged and all that for timing and such, I decided to drop part #s.
UNLESS YOU HAVE A PART THAT SPECIFICALLY NEEDS TO BE IN A SPOT, DONT REQUEST A #!

I also made a new blog in the same part style.
You can view it here.

not much progress, just reminding you all I exist.

I think you get the part for sure now. :)

At 11/15/09 06:23 PM, Logidude wrote: Can I be part of the collab. You still haven't answered me.

The animation, although nice, is really slow up the frame rate abit.

Really I all i need to know is if you can draw or not os if you can give me a quick drawing sample, that'd be nice.

At 11/15/09 06:23 PM, Logidude wrote: Can I be part of the collab. You still haven't answered me.

Sorry!
I am busy so I got alot to do.
Lemme talk to Eman and we'll get back to you asap.

This is a sad day.
The day that I have to first bump the topic.

Cmon guys! Don't you have people to invite to help on this/have any progress to show?

Ok I am back so my job now is to look at all the shit and tell you how much you suck or not.

jk
But seriously, it's a lot of shit to read and im tired so I might end up sounding mean or whatever.

Also, I haven't started any animation cause Im jammed up on alot of shit like school and other stuff, but I'll try to get some work shown on my part asap.

At 11/14/09 05:07 PM, Fautzo wrote: oh and also mexi this means I'm in right?

If it does part 14 plz.

And sorry i didn't make it spritey like EDPR, i'm not very good with sprites.

Make a little more and Ill give you the part.
I just want a more solid ground of animation besides the rotation which was nice.
It would help also if you could give me a general idea of what direction your part is going.

It feels really stagnant, like it feels slow. The water itself is nice, but all the platforms its on are not that fun.

Compare to last year's design.

I discussed with Mex that I intend to make it a little similar but with some changes. Like when video games went from 8-bit to 16-bit while still maintaining pixel goodness. 8D

The "P" is gonna be in the shape in the reindeer.

Also lookin shiggty shiggty shweet.

TBH i don't feel that Night-Mare deserved Daily 2nd cause his game was just stuffed with stupid memes and was really basic and boring.

It's not like this thread is even remotely dead.
We're at that point where we got most of our member and people are beginning to work on their parts;
it's nice to see progress though.

Also on the blood, I'd fix that up a bit.
Look weird.
