Basically i want to fill pico's locker with a bunch of random things so if you have a logo or some cool little flash symbol that could easily be worked into this scene let me know. I think it would be a neat way to show that even tho its a competition everyone is more or less on the same side type of deal.
msg me if it interests u

-L

That sounds really cool, yeah would it be like a logo like this taped onto the back of the locker?

That's the most professional way to do it!

I can't wait for Pico Day, so many movies I want to see. I hope people like my entry^^

However, I STRONGLY ADVISE using music from the Audio Portal or another source that has given you permission...

Damn, I've used copyright music in mine. A lot of music by Disturbed.
Since I have animated the entire song (and then some) It'll be really hard to change it due to the song actually being part of the movie.

lol, looks like no-one noticed the small print. I use V-cam aswell, but easier than tweening everything. Makes the animation look more professional I think. I'll post some more screenies later, only 10 days left! better finish my hidden scene.

Now all I need is when is the best time GMT or EST, as it's a sunday when pico day is on there will be less people due to schoo but obviously since it's pico day there will be a lot of people online for this.

Any predictions?

I'm submitting 8 or 9am GMT, about 3 or 4 for EST I think (daylight saving confuse my brain) so I can get votes from early brits online and then get more votes for american when they come on. :D

Thanks for the support. I hope I win something, but it'll probably be a little something like 9th or 10th at best.

The people's mario and dumbass mario are the best mario parodies I've seen in a while.

And thanks for getting Bullet Bill into the 'popular submission of the week' part ^^

There isn't really a storyline as such ^^;;

It's just a huge fight scene between the uberkids

and cassandra

I'm gonna post a screenshot from the hidden scene rather than the actual movie this time.

Ah. Makes sense. :p

Hey I was just wondering, does this export as swf? Or just gifs?

Before it was renamed to flash it exports spl's. but it lets you export to .avi and animated .gifs

How choose who don't beleive it's flash 1

Look at how sexy the HCI is.

Ever wonder what flash one actually looked like (for those to young to remember)?

Well I just found FutureSlaph Animator later to be bought and re-named to flash, download here.

The normal 30 day trail thing still applied back then.

Just thought I'd show anouther screenie.

I think it's 'pee-co', but for some reason I pronounce it like 'pick-to' more often.

Considering I've finished it, yes.

Are pico flashes elligable for the monthy awards as well as the $2000 competition?

If you're lucky you hit front page with your first game but that doesn't happen often

*cough*

I'd say about a month or two for games if you know the basic actionscript. Movies take longer to get better at though.

That reminds me, does anyone want to use the title: "A Gothic Resolution"
cause tha will be mine. just seeing if anyone else is using it.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about aswell, people choosing the same name.

I noticed there was a pico's last stnad trailer released in 2003 but the actual movie wasn't, so I think it's safe to use the name.

- the trailer

Also, I'm liking that screenshot, nice job!

I'm just not server updating so I still have my active X, yay for me.

And yeha, I noticed the servers down, damn tome zones.

Thanks guys for the daily 3rd! I'm glad Bullet Bill got an award let alone front page. But right now I am really enjoying Cubrius.

rofl, don't worry. It was triggered by your reveiw but it's something that been on my mind since Power Star 1 was released and people were bashing it even though it had over 500 custom sprites.

Don't worry, it's all good.

In order to have animation that really stands out, you'ld need to do use frame-by-frame....which you can't do with pre-made sprites.

I've seen some people use FBF sprites. The Power Star series is one of them.

Here is something that's been on my mind for a while. Sprite haters, obviously hate sprites, and they're entitled to there opinion. Most of them say 'they require no skill' or 'the poses are already made for you', now I was wondering. Say a sprite artist made a sprite movie, with every single sprite being 100% custom, making every pose himself from scratch. Would they/you still hate it, or like it?
