OH YEAH! Congrats guys!

Ooooh cool! Nice shirt!

Sorry pal, read the NEW collab rules, you've got to have a batting average above a 3.5 and you don't even have a submission over 3.5. Gain some more experience, submit more flashes, work on your technique, then come back this summer and take your chances with a collab.

Yeah plus it's a stupid idea

Fuck that, newgrounds has always been like this. Get used to it. There'll be waves of shitty stuff when all the little kids have a ton of free time, but there'll be gold in there as well. You gotta dig around, you've always had to.

Wait is that it? It wouldn't be much of a "twist" if you had no background information or emotional connection to the main character.

Yeah I know, there's not a lot to it.

Idea: "I'm Guilty"

A guy is sitting in a court room with his head down, the judge asks him if he has anything to say for himself. The guy slowly gets up from his chair, straightens out his tie and proceeds with statement - with a slight warble in his voice and eyes getting progressively more teary as time passes, he proclaims with some dignity as if he's finally realized he has to live up to his mistakes "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...I'm guilty."

Cut to a wide shot of a set of the courtroom with the director sitting in a chair and the crew milling about, the audience hears "Ok you've got the role, we'll contact you in a week about the show." End on a tight frame of the "guilty" actor beaming. Credits.

Shit, fucked that up.

What do you have size 18 feet or something? ARE YOU A GIANT?

I'm all about the classics man.

No matter what, true animation will always be instantly recognizable. There's no faking that, no matter how many new tools are included in CS4 and beyond.

I was almost perfect with circles and finding 90 degree lines, but triangles were pretty bad for me.

I think the code still needs some tweaking? The alignment is a little off.

BOOM!

I thought this TV commercial was really well made and thought it'd be worth sharing. You can check out the making-of right here too.

Happy birthday Jbot!

I'd say one of the scariest flashes I can remember is F E A R

HELL YEAH!!!

That reminds me of some stuff I saw for the game Heavy Rain, doesn't look as good as the other mo-cap stuff posted...but I think they can get a little further with video tech than they can with game tech right now (at least for current consoles).

I've found that I really wasn't ready to handle "The Big Ones". I had a pretty epic Western lined up at about 4 minutes or so with tons of cool shots and an interesting story, but it outgrew even me and I couldn't wrap my head around it. The key is to only make a flash that's a length that can hold your interest. Most of my movies are about a minute or two at the most, and the sort of mundane but funny ideas I have suit that length extremely well. That's what kind of got me back up to speed, just work on stuff that will be fun and can hold your attention the entire time you're working on it.

I'll rise to the occasion...but I DO admire Kirk for his dedication. What's it been? A good 3 or 4 years?

He always links to some good stuff (homogeneous matrices, lol), but I really liked this one.

I won't spoil it for anyone...

Yeah I kind of brushed it off when I saw the news post, but that has got to be some of the most inspiring shit I've ever seen. Really a "life changing" type of thing, I mean this is a guy who's seen it all and the one thing that CAN get you noticed is just taking some self-initiative. What's so cool about it though is while we might not be physically sitting next to each other, a good chunk of people from NG are doing just what he said as we speak.

You'll probably have better luck over at the Where is/How to? Forum, I'd be surprised if anyone over here paid attention to this and actually answered your question. That being said, I'd try to include a little more info to refresh people's memories - art style, anything you can remember about how the character(s) looked, anything at all really (I've found it's usually the small stuff that helps people remember).

Damn, nobody looked at it in time and it got pushed into deletion after the mysterious 10th page...a shame too, it was really a good one.

I know it's kind of frowned upon linking to 4chan, especially /b/, but this is too hilarious too pass up. I've always found inanimate objects with faces to be pretty hilarious at times, but some of these are the best i've ever seen - prepare to lol if you like this kinda stuff.

Yeah, according to the rules of what not to do (A "BIG ONE" at that) -
"Bumping any old topic without a good reason and new information."
It's usually alts and bored kids looking to see what they can get away with.

One other thing, I thought of a random idea for a collab (not making it, just an idea) to make a collab of flash ad's) thoughts?

Explain...sounds kind of boring/pointless when you say it like that, because who wants to watch a collab if it's all ads? If the ads were a joke or something then I could see where you're coming from.
