I normally scan in some key drawings, then do the rest using my tablet...

Thanks! Some good advice. I will test it out!

Frame By Frame Tips Posted July 30th, 2009 in Game Development

When you are doing a flash using FBF at 24FPS do you literally draw in every frame or do you skip 2 between every frame for some animations?

It seems like when I draw something in every frame the animation looks really manic and busy... Thoughts?

Response to: Where can I find collabs to join? Posted July 29th, 2009 in Where is / How to?

Thanks guys!


Is there a forum or a site I can use to find collabs to join up with? In the Flash forum there only seems to be a few that are already too far along in production.

Response to: The Disney Collab Posted July 29th, 2009 in Game Development

I would like to join this collab. Please click on my profile to see some samples of my work.

Thanks!


I am actually interested in seeing all the truly HORRIBLE stuff that has been blammed through the portal over the years. Is there a Newgrounds section just for the worst of the worst?


I am currently working on a project which features alot of bitmaps and such.. I am only in the beginning of the animation and its already at almost 3mb.. Should I keep them as bitmaps or should I turn them all into symbols? What is the best way to reduce file size while retaining quality? Also, what are the best ways to compress audio?

Here is what I have so far of the project in question: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v145/Goatsk ape/LordLetUsGo.swf?t=1165378620

Response to: Importing Mp3s Posted November 28th, 2006 in Game Development

This particular file is an MPEG Layer 3 Audio file

Response to: Importing Mp3s Posted November 28th, 2006 in Game Development

Ya, its .mp3.. I had the same issue a while back with a file I downloaded from iTunes.. I figured it was just an iTunes thing, but these audio files arent from iTunes.

Anyway, do you think it would help if I tried to convert it to a wav file or something?

Response to: Importing Mp3s Posted November 28th, 2006 in Game Development

Its Flash Mx. :\

Importing Mp3s Posted November 28th, 2006 in Game Development

Im trying to import an mp3 file and it keeps giving me an error "one or more files could not be imported because there were problems reading them".. I tried to troubleshoot and it said to install Quicktime, I did, still didnt work.. Any ideas?

sounds good, send a sample.

Response to: Seeking Voice Talent! Roles Inside Posted February 17th, 2006 in Game Development

Send some samples to my email.. ShaneLK@gmail.com

Response to: Seeking Voice Talent! Roles Inside Posted February 17th, 2006 in Game Development

lol.. Well, if you dont have the equipment to sample, how would you do extensive voicework?


Ok, Im starting a project and I need some voicework.. I need actors who could do the following voices:

-Jamaican Accent
-Arab Accent
-News Reporter (male or female)
-Voice of God(s)

Im working on the script right now, and will begin drawing/animating soon.. It may be awhile til it is completed, but having the voicework done in advance may aid the process... Post if interested.

Response to: Dont Stop me now collab Posted December 6th, 2005 in Game Development

Id love a part.. Im a flash novice in terms of animating, but I can draw pretty good in the program. Id like a small part.

Id like to join a collab... Posted December 6th, 2005 in Game Development

Im pretty much still a Flash noob in terms of animation. I can draw stuff in it pretty decently, and I am proficient at Photoshop. I have alot of ideas for flashtoons I want to do, but I dont want to start on them because my flash animation skills are rather weak. So Id like some practice by joining some collabs.. I figure thats a good way for me to practice.. Thats how I sortve got good with Photoshop too by doing alot of photoshop contests..

So, does anyone have any cool collabs started or starting in the future? I didnt see any on the first page of this board.

I finally have some time off from school so I want to spend the break working intensely with Flash..

BTW, Ive only done one full flash animation, and as you can tell, the animation aspects are rather weak.. Its in my profile and got through the portal.

Sense of Humor Posted July 28th, 2005 in General

Its amazing how vastly they differ from person to person..

Case in point, The Filth:
http://newgrounds.com/portal/view/253989

Its about 50/50 from the reviews of people thinking it was the most unhumorous piece of crap to other stating how they "sh1t their pants" because it was so funny!

I fell into the unhumorous piece of crap category myself (although the animation and art were very good)..

I guess sense of humor is somewhat like political ideaology..

How did this newgrounds phenomenon begin?? It is such an....odd concept for a toon..

Response to: Fade Ins / Fade Outs Posted July 17th, 2005 in Game Development

Motion Tweens always mess me up.. Anyway, thanks.

Fade Ins / Fade Outs Posted July 17th, 2005 in Game Development

How do you make it so it looks like you are fading in and out of a scene? Is it just changing the opacity of everything in the frame or is there something simpler than that?

Response to: sig rater! Posted June 8th, 2005 in General

Rate mine! Its a little plain I know, but its based on my first flashtoon.

Response to: your views on michael jackson trial Posted June 8th, 2005 in Politics

While I believe he has genuine psychological problems, so do most pedophiles. His father messed him up good.. He thinks he is Peter Pan, and I am sure sexual urges overcomes him at times, and he takes that out on his young boy-friends. I say guilty.

Response to: Mic suggestions Posted June 7th, 2005 in Game Development

Well.. I just wanted suggestions on mics that dont have alot of feedback and erroneous fuzzy sounds coming through.

Mic suggestions Posted June 7th, 2005 in Game Development

I would like to be able to do some of my own voice-acting in my movies but my headset sucks beyond belief.. Any suggestions for some good yet affordable mics and possibly some sound editting/recording software other than the crap that comes with windows?
