Would a claymation submission be accepted if it was high quality, low file size, and funny? I'm not that great at flash yet.

WOW! how old are you?

Well my biggest flaw is the ability to procrastinate everything.

School work, making movies, waking up etc. I'm getting better though haha.

When I make a thread, I don't care about the number of posts, but the quality. When I get a bunch of noobs saying random shit it's pretty frustrating.

Well first of all, you don't need to spend 700 dollars to get the program. Here are 2 ways to get it cheap and legally too.

1. go to a website that sells to students. You can get the program for somewhere around 100 bucks I think

2. search around ebay for a good deal. You probably won't find the latest version of the program for cheap but oh well. I'm sure cs3 is cheap now compared to CS4 and there are really no variations.

Good Luck!!!

Also you said he hit your camera, but didn't say if it was intentionally or not. Please elaborate on that part

I can upload a video to youtube because it unfroze now but it keeps freezing. The video file actually has him hitting the camera.

Ok, if he intentionally hit the camera and made you drop it, even if he meant to make you drop it or not he should still pay for it. If he denies it then make backup copies of the tape right now, and show him the tape.

Like I said though, breaking something of his won't get your camera payed for. The guy will also probably tell people what you did out of retaliation and they will take his side. You should take this opportunity to earn some cool points.

Also when you're talking to him stay calm, if he doesn't stay calm and gets all pissed and starts yelling with you speaking calmly, he will look like a major douche.

How shall I punish him!

I say don't punish him. Yeah I know I would be extremely pissed off if someone broke something of mine, but it doesn't help anything by breaking something of his. Acting like a crazy person is just not cool. I'm not saying hey just forget about it and let him not have any consequences. Just act adult about it. try looking up something online to see if you can fix it.

I guess that would be useful for a bet or something/

Not racist at all. I think Obama can take a joke anyways.

Congratulations dude, now you can sneak into a church and pretend to be a priest yay!!!!

No not insurance, a repair manual silly. Try again

My sisters 2004 saturn ion's window is now stuck down. This wouldn't be so much of a problem if we didn't live in Michigan, and she didn't have to travel a long distance tomorrow. Do you guys know of any good sites ( or prior knowledge )that could give me in depth details on how to fix it. We already checked the fuses, and I have all the tools necessary to fix a car at my house. If it's the motor though then I don't have the parts. Thanks and Merry Christmas, Happy holidays etc/

Now I feel like im missing out, I never imagined anything on my head.

Actually videos with just people in it, no real animation at all, are against the rules.

Some people like the aforementioned knox get away with it though because they are big contributors to the site. Nothin wrong with that.

It's his first post so I wouldn't worry.

That's a terrible base pic btw.

I like the middle one, I bet the study is going to say most people like the fat chick on the right though. I would still hit it but I prefer the girl in the middle.

well what do you mean by what kind? like the genre?

It will be a funny short. I don't think cat enthusiasts will like it however.

actually that's just the angle the pic was taken at, and the position her arms were in. Her left arm was back and further away from the camera than her right arm which was forward a bit and closer to the camera.

Here's a close up of the face, I still have a bit of cleaning up to do on the figure but he's pretty much complete.

Well thank you very much. I finished the boy character. The smile is just temporary until I get all of the mouths done.

Yes that would be nice. Chicken Run was a big inspiration in my life. I never really saw Wallace and Gromit until I was older. I actually want to go to Falmouth university for their animation program and to work for aardman.

I find it amazing how much work they do on their claymations.

oh yeah it takes shit tons of patience. They have a lot of little mess ups though. After you've been animating for a long time you notice all the little things. Wallace for example if you watch his face when they're animating him the top of his head will change a lot. His torso will never change though because it's made out of hard clay. They do a really good job over all though.

Robot Chicken messes up way too much though. It looks like a kid animated it sometimes. For example a character will be standing next to something, and you will keep seeing the object next to them move. I really hate being able to see all of those little mistakes sometimes.

Well it's short for comfortable so it's actually comfy. I don't think I own skinny jeans or want to.

here's the boy character i'll be done with later tonight. I still have to add eyes, feet, hair, etc. The face details are hard. In the picture you can slightly see that he is going to have puffy, chubby cheeks that pop out. i'm then going to rub a little bit of clay on the cheeks to give it a redish tint. Wish me luck.

Remember that females tend to have larger hips and thighs, while men tend to have broader shoulders and a wider torso.

Really good source of female body drawing.

thanks for the link. I also like how you outlined the body like that. I will probably actually use that as a tool when I'm sculpting a body and want to see if it looks good. So for the next video more tits and ass, just for you Newgrounds.

well the guy was obviously very flexible. From the start I figured that he had some kind of pull strings on the inside. The end proved it though when I saw the strings dangling. The part that baffled me was when he extended the middle piece, im guessing it was just him pulling some strings that raise it up also.

well I'm sure some of us here are smarter because there are so many users. We use a lot of grammar that has to do with movies here and the internet. If I think about it though i'm always the first to get all of the vocab worksheets done in my class and way before anyone else.

Well the key to failure is trying to please everyone. I do appreciate your feedback though. I'll keep this in mind for one of my future shorts.

yet it still looks better than all the claymation films on newgrounds thus far

Well I would hope so after 5 years on and off of doing this shit hehe. Remember it's clay not foam rubber mold shit like on robot chicken. That stuff be expensive.....

well I guess she could be a bisexual...........

Anyone can be a bisexual if they are drunk enough.

wishful thinking.

I don't need to hear about your prom date dude.
