Fuck yes!
Bar Brawl 2nd!
Awesome work Nogfish, Anigen and RedMongoose. I've watched this about 30 times since it past judgment, and it's just as awesome as the last time.
So much more interesting when you watch something that has a bit of style and uniqueness to it, just like MindChamber's submission. Instead of something that has so many tweens/symbols in it that it's hard to even call it an animation :|
Man I'm so glad you guys got something out of this.
YUS!

Haha, awesome preloader.

Lookin good.

Dual Monitors! :3

I scored myself that chair which I found sitting on the side of the road. May look pretty dodge, but fuck it's comfy ;D

A sexy design eh? :p

Hehe, I didn't see your post before I made mine; the hint was that this could be made a collab ;)

Haha, it would have to be the best damn collab ever.
Absolutely perfect.

Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense! D:

But that was cool ;)

Gotta agree with patu1 here.

There will always be shitty movies. Get the fuck over it.
This thread has no other purpose than providing a place to bitch and moan about pointless shit.

:/

Hrmm, I know this got started like a while ago, but I'm gonna submit this anyway. It only took me a night so it's not as if I used more than a week to finish it.

Bam!

Hope you're still accepting them! :O

Posted in the SPW thread.

People are submitting absolutely anything these days. Every day, You're guarenteed to see a file below 500kb. I even say a 5kb file a few days back. People are even submitting demos 5 minutes before the finished project is released, with the games sucking anyway. Flash noobs just seem to be so full of themselves these days.
(My flash in no way represents my current ability)

File size is pretty irrelevant with the quality of a flash man. I'd rather watch a ridiculously funny animated short that goes for like 10 seconds, then an average animation or game that takes 3 minutes to load. As I'm sure most of us do.
But, seriously, even if they are a little new to flash or are extremely excited to show the world their stuff that they feel the need to release a demo, let them. Pretty sure it doesn't really affect us, and it's what this site is all about man; everything, by everyone.
If it's spam...just ignore it :/
Remember, we were all flash noobs once, and back then, the things we made were awesome... Well, at least we thought they were :p

My uni semester has almost finished, giving me a 5-7 week break between semesters. I can't wait, I have some pretty big things planned. Especially a certain collaborative project with some awesome animators.

But over this break, I really want to try out some new styles and techniques in animation. Going to be trying out some more experimental frame by frame stuff. Hopefully it turns out to be a fun experience, I'm definitely hanging for it.

Guess I'll just see how things pan out.

Thank you!
Now the flash forum will become awesome again!

I don't think any of the new rules are too harsh.
Showing you have commitment and can deal with your own shit, before managing others is must.

Well done modz.

:O

Happy Birthday mate.
Haha, I was actually in the middle of drawing a moose with the British flag behind him, just for you...but i was too late :<

Thanks ReNaeNae! Mine was never gonna look as good as that anyway haha. :P

Woah dude that's pretty slick. Love the quick movements, angles and pro animation.
Now I really all I suggest is that you go over it, clean it up, colour it, add a background, and it could be even more fucking awesome. :P

Heh, well done Dep, great collab :)

All the authors and co-authors should be proud, everyone did a great job. Massive projects like this always take time and never run on schedule, and I think you've handled the job quite well Dep, so what if it was a tad late :P

Awesome tutorials all round and something Newgrounds will keep coming back to.

I have the exact same problem dude.

It sucks, because I don't think Flash is the greatest for exporting to quicktime.
I think it's probably easier to assess the animation using video because of the ability to scrub through the animation and play back any part you want, rather than having a coded timeline scroll bar in a .swf.

But yeah, my uni uses macs because apparently, according to most of the lecturers there, it's the best for design based projects, such as animation, music, video, art etc. :/
We export to Quicktime as well since i guess it is THE mac media player.

But I haven't been too successful with keeping my projects as a crisp and smooth quicktime video.
I know Flash CS3 has some better options with exporting it as a .mov, but I only have Flash 8 at home :S and I use a pc.

Maybe there's some awesome ".swf to .mov file converter" out there somewhere. I guess google is your friend there.

Such a fucking awesome band to see live.
I saw them in January this year here in Sydney, the crowd gets so pumped. Was such an awesome night, even though me and my friends got seat tickets.

The tickets to their show was sold out in like 5 minutes, unlucky to those that had to buy tickets on ebay after that...they were sellin for around 5 times the original price.

The floor crowd got pretty rowdy, looked pretty fun down there though.

:O

Gone for a couple of weeks and this thing picks up! Awesome to see there are lots of entries this time :P

I hope this is in before the deadline, I tried to work as fast as I can in the last few hours.
I had this little sneaky idea ;P

Shazam!

PMd the .fla to ya Rudy :)

Longest song in my iTunes library is Cassandra Gemini - 31:42

This contains the parts from Week 1 - 3.
I will submit it sometime tomorrow during the day since there is more traffic on the site than. ;)

Nice and simple, good work. :)

I think you should add in some dividing frames between each week with the title if ya get me.
Just to make the split of each category a little more obvious.

But yeah, its cool, submit it! :P

I'm pretty sure you can't bold the topic title... :D, but i can pm you when it comes out each week?
Maybe i should make a list if more people want that.

That's a good idea man.

And we need to get more animators in on this!

Well good luck man. I'm sure you got a better deal from that website, with someone who will actually be dedicated to finish this for you. It seems the more appropriate place to offer animation work.

It's just we get a hell of a lot of threads with people asking ask to make a flash out of their ideas, for sometimes nothing, sometimes $10 >_> and in other cases large sums of money such as this one.
It gets a little frustrating sorting out the legitimate ones from the random ones.

But anyway, good luck with this, I hope it turns out well for you.

... if i could animate which i cant i would do this in a heartbeat.

Then you couldn't possibly understand.
It's a fair offer, though the desired length is a bit of a task, by which I mean a huge task.
There's no real other incentives for taking a project like this except for some cash.

Right now this site is home to many animators that mainly like to submit their own work, which they did all by themselves. It's a site with everything by everyone, not a place of freelance professional animators.
I'd say there are very few animators who would be willing to risk wasting months of work working on someone elses idea rather than their own.

Of course, hundreds of dollars is a pretty nice incentive for doing something that you love, although it just doesn't always work out that to be so great when it becomes a job and starts to feel like a chore. Especially when this thing is for personal amusement, and isn't really going anywhere.
If I was to pick something up like this, I'd make sure I was pretty keen on the script.

Not trying to ruin anything here, just my opinion.

Yeah I digged the colours that DarkRedemption used for his fbf explosion just above. Played around with them and got it to work for me. Thanks man.

Hey fellas.

After a screwing around with this explosion I think I got it pretty right. Took a lot of ctrl+z'ing :P

Boom!

This one took a bit of effort. :P
PM'd the .fla to you Rudy :)

Happy b'day Delta!

The explosion was cool, and good use of sound effects, although I don't think you got the blur on the grenade right.
When something is falling the blur should be vertical ie on the y axis of the object.

Fix that up and it should look a little more realistic :)
