I saw a couple of messages saying that Flashbound thinks I have contributed enough for this collab.

My questions:
1. Am I going to be included in the bio page and if so are my 'questions' different or do I just make smart ass remarks :-)
2. About the image request... what dimensions / colour scheme would you like?
3. Since I haven't used flash in about 10 years... and don't own an editor, what alternate file type would you like (it would be made in photoshop so basically any image type would be fair game)
4. In keeping with Flashbounds concerns, does anybody need me to redo any of my own voice work?

Its good to be back and I gather things are coming together swimmingly.

Yes! Please send me your bio, it'd be both rude and unfair + you deserve getting a bio page apartf form a mention in the credits. As for the image on the rock, if you'd like to try out drawing somrthing feel free, but if you want me to draw your face or something to place on the rock, i'll make a little exception and do it for you ;p

TO EVERYONE: the artowrk'd better be linework, pref. with a fine brush :)

Guys, if you could also send me a piece of artwork from one of your animations in FLA format, please do so i'll put it on the rock in the bios page under your name. If you'd like to draw your own face or something, then feel free to do so. Doing this will rly help me in finishing up on time :)

My email's 'thebomblu@hotmail.com' you can also send the bios info if you already havent :)

Can we pretty pretty pretty please use teh old one without the questions people didn't enjoy :)?

come on, that list is so ....standard..

Well, i must STRONGLY agree with flashbound18 on this one. The animation screen is quite small, and the new questions fit EXACTLY into the page, so i think we'll better keep it simple this time.

Here's a sample of the author bios. Our NG Alias and image will be seen on the rock, engraved style.

yes sure guys, send me the bios asap :)

Thanks mate :)

@ Everyone:

Could you possibly post in some of your bios please, basic age, gender, years animating, what you like and dont lke abut 40k, and how you feel that the collab has helped you in animating, etc.

Your help in writing this stuff will help me a LOT as no1, i dont know this stuff about you, no2, the menu will be complete faster and no3, well...i said so so you have to obey :P

Please :)

Well, i think we all assume you'll be copiling the whole collb as you're leader :P

DW i'll try fix all those things, but please remember i'm spending between 6 to 10 hrs a day at work, which doesnt help in my mood when coming back to animate some stuff. I'll do my utmost to try and complete everything in 6 days :)

At 6/21/09 03:07 PM, flashbound18 wrote: bomblu, I the menu is great, but the marine in the opening art's thighs are rather obese woman-ish, and I'm not liking that there isn't any transition between pages. also, the play button isn't blatantly obvious. I think you could fix it by making it glow

for a transition, try doing something similar to my transition from one titan walking his dog to the next, if you can't think of anything else

Well, i dont see anything not obvious about PLAY being written, i can change it to 'INITIATE' or 'BEGIN' or 'START' or 'COMMENCE', but i find the word 'play' being a bit more easy to understand as newgrounds gets views from ppl who dont know how to speek decent english. I think play is the simplest word we can use.

His tghis, possibly, they might be a tad chubby, will see how it looks when there'll be all the characters and tweek that if i've got enough time.

Oh as for the transitions, i do have an idea how to work that out, but i'd need at least another 2 weeks to complete all my stuff by animating a camera movement. However, time is of the essence and so is file size, so the more artwork and animation i load into this collab, the more you're going to complain on how big my stuff is (no pun intended) :P

Here is the design for the medal logos, hopefully they're not too hard to understand :P

Also i need some voice acting and sound fx for my part

Menu's almost complete. Waiting for the written bios and other data, whoever has it :)
The only problem i've got with it is that the song i used is taking up a shitload of memory (surprise) so we'd need a loop :P Here you go :

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/210609/6 7372_Warhammer_40K_Collab_Menu_AS3.php

Please note: In the scene selection, i only included the animations from the most recent list, and i know some are left out. They are also in a random order, i think Flashbound18 will decide how they'll be placed.

Sorry i've been gone for a while, work, gf, sleepyness and all :P crap 7days to complete :P DW though, i'll work my ass off this week. I'll start off with the menu, as it's the most troublesome bit to be quite honest, the artwork takes quite some time to make :P Then, i will continue by completing i kisses a spawn and, time permitting, i'll hopefully manage to have time to tweak all the other animations.

For now, just pray i wont be working till late so i'll have time to complete the stuff till next sunday :P

wow that looks great! please please please get it done and uploaded!

update on my front:
I'm quite proud of my current style, and after having a great deal of trouble with my power thirst esqu animation, have decided to drop all parts save for the recent 'terminator' and 'power sword' parts, as well as my first part, 'compensating.' before we wrap this up, I will make one more part about titans. I think it will be better if my style is consistent in the collab, and since I like the style constant in the movies I've picked to keep, I have chosen them over the others.

Hmm...could we put in your other animations as eastereggs for medals, memory permitting? (seriously, i love the other style, very original :P)

Popped in before i leave for work :) Now that FB18's animation's ready, shall we compile some animations and send them to Tom Fulp for the giving of medals? It's been quite a while since he pm'd me, dont want him to think the collab broke down :P

Also, apologies for not being too active lately, but recently i'm at wortk for 6 to 10 hrs, which doesnt give me too much time to come onto the forums and post (even though i read the stuff at work :3) Though i'm making some progress with i kissed a spawn :)

Also, if you think the sound isnt too good for IKAS, Pawn007, you can try out singing it for me as i think your mic and voice acting skills are better than mine, way better :P

At 6/16/09 05:55 AM, Pawn007 wrote: My opinion is an instrumental would be plenty for the credits.

Didnt quie get that... Instrumental's good or bad?

Ok then. I'll finish off IKAS, and touch up the other animtions :) If i put an instrumental piece from the song in the credits is good? To keep the same song, just bein an extension?

I Like this man's thinking! That's never been done before, dunno how long it'd take just to load the pre loader though.., we'd have to try it out

I dont mind any idea till now. I'll work the one decided upon if yo want though :) As for me finishing off the animation, as i said, it's more than ok for me. However, remember we have quite a few things to write in the credits - from all the music we have taken to the artists and voice actors to other stuff we'd have to mention. Our screen size isnt tooo big, so they might look crammed. Just an opinion :)

Ok, just a very random idea. I like the bullet-shot effect of the anime and i think it can be done. However, what if - for the sake of the parrody - we break the rule of collabs having credits at the end - and have them 'ala the old star trek' series. We can make our own into parody for it, same music, just changed text to fit wh40k?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdjL8WXjl GI&feature=PlayList&p=F3A521D7473328D4&i ndex=9

It's not a problem for me, all i'd need is some more time please :)

So, am i getting this right? I'll finish off all the audio from the 'chaos we are so magical' to 'and i liked it' as an animation. After that, with a different song or just the same music but instrumental, there'll be the credits?

Fixing the credits. IF you want me to change any stuff please tell me, i wont continue working on it till i get the ok from flashbound :)

Thanks a LOT for the comments, flash. You pointed out stuff which i didnt see. I'll fix them once i get the I Kisses a Spawn all done, at the moment i'm filling in the gaps and fixing the AS3 for the credits :)

PS. One mistake, the Emperor animation is mine, but i wont be finishing it as it would have taken too long :(

Wow, we've got 20+ animations! Good work Pawn007, seriously, it needed someone like you to compile all the animations we've got till now.

As for waiting for medals, yes Flashbound, it would be folly not to wait for that animation to show to Fulp :P I'm having some problems with coding the credit effects though i'll hopefully fix it soon ;p

Keep up the good work guys! A place in the front page is waiting for us :)

Sending this from work so i have to be brief.

Post the animations please. They'll be seen by Fulp himself and possibly all the NG team for medals.

I also learnt how to make some v.cheesy effects for the collab, make it more unique. Epecially for the credits.

Thanks

Yeas i know, Forbid liked the idea of me making a joke about being catholic therfore no sex :P

Also the idea is for it to be funny, after all, it is a warhammer 40k collab, and seriously when was the last time u saw a black space marine?

My frind's brothers has one black space marine, to make him stand out :P He painted him quite nicely i must add :)

BTW, please, get those animations up so i can send the samples to Fulp.
Thanks

Name
Andrea

Location?
Malta, Europe

Sex
Never (i'm catholic and i'm not married)

ok the bullshit is out of the way now for the real shit!

Why do you think there arn't any black space marines?
They exist. We just dont see them. It's too dark out there.

Who do you feel in the WH40k universe shares your physical attributes and why?
There aint no sexi guys with sexi short beards in 40K...

If you could be in the shoes of one chaos God for a whole day, what sick/funny mutations would you give the deamons?
Give them flashlights so i can see those darned black space marines.

What makes this Collab more awesome than the street fighter collab?
Tom Fulp aint' in it :)

Do you think the fact we don't have The-Swain, Johnny Utah....Egoraptor...Tom Fulp affects our ability to get to front page?
Answered above :P On a more serious note, having a big name to back your stuff up always helps, but the collab has talent and dedication; so no, it doesn't affect much ( hopefully, you're reading this cos you saw the collab on the front page :3 )

Is there anything you'd like to say about anything, go on, this is your last chance?
No.

Popping in again to say, even though i'm not the collab leader, i'm proud to be part of this collab as it's shaping up nicely :)

I also fixed the basics of AS3 so what i'm doing now is designing the author bios, fallen page, medals page etc. I'm hoping to complete the entire menu by the end of the week so next sat we'll send the samples embedded in the menu to Tom Fulp.

Like the idea Flashbound18?

My Intuos3 (A4) works fine in flash CS3. There was a time, when i installed CS4, that the program didnt read the tablet at all. If i were you i'd email the wacom company and thay should be with you in no time :)

I decided to go with christian bale quotes from the trailer, but I left the rest the same save for echo effects.

:O

:O :O

:O :O :O :O

MY...GOD!!
Brilliant, abolutely, BRILLIANT! The idea's brilliantly twisted for the 40K universe! I must say, i am looping this thing continuously :P

If you dont mind, though, one small critique. The animation's brilliant, just that the last piece where the necron head shoots green lazer things, looks just a bit bit strange. That's all.

Apart from that, i <3's :)

:...also FlashBound did a few chaos ones, and I did a chaos-ish one

I've got a chaos song :P

Woohoo...collab seems to be moving fast again.

Yes, we can have up to 50pts for medals so now we need to send a sample to Tom Fulp. I dont think we'll have a problems in being allowed to put in medals, the stuff we've got is good.

We also seem to be having lots of 'trailer or advert' paraodies. Why dont we nick an idea from monty pyton and make an 'intermission sequence' where, in the middle of the collab, we make in INTERMISSION sign and get all the ads?

Might be a bit funny :p I have the 'learn english', there's the 'drive a tank' one by don which i managed to rip off spamtheweb so we've still got that animation, and so on.

Like?

for stopping in AS3, make a new layer and make the last frame a single frame (F6) and press F9 to open the Action's pannel. Type:

stop();

and you're done :)
