Pfft 32 places. Your already in. But I'm worried about how good of a person I'll face on round 1
Do you win according to the round score or tallied score from all the previous rounds? And If lets say I had a shitty open round would that bring my score down affecting my chances too win?
Also could someone tell me if we go against people in our own "Division" Like last year or go against pros right away?

Is there any other good animation software out there? And also would it be worth it just to get an older version of flash like flash mx or cs4 or something I don't really know? Please let me know if you know of one.

Do a google search for Plastic animation Paper(which is free). And buy a tablet or the software is useless

Quick question

This year do you win money just for passing each round?
so you pass open get 15 dollars pass intermediate 30 etc..?

I'd say set it to 40 smoothness, the the smoothness takes out inconsistencies and makes your line cleaner, so you should set as high as you think you can with out loosing control.
Also a lot of cartoons would use the pentool. Also I believe most are done in toonboom not flash, but great results can still be achieved in flash.
Also the quicker you can draw your line the cleaner it will be.

Your advice is really good.
One thing I would add is if you want clean lines and more detail you can draw zoomed in. When I need clean lines I will zoom in like 400 pecent. But one thing about the pentool, I have a bug i think with it sometimes the line wont show you its drawing until you pick your pen up and then line finally appears it makes drawing very difficult and the line has trouble closing (I cant fill it) I've tried all sorts of setting but these problems do not end any suggestions?

(sorry for DP)

I dont mean that your a pro if you get a High end tablet but it definately gives you an edge

just wanted to clarify

Well, what some animators do is use the line tool. And also you smoothing setting need to be set to how you like it (for using the brush). Also, do you have a tablet? A tablet would help if you don't have

i like the smothness between 20 and 30. Yes, i have a tablet, a bamboo. I mean lines like proffesional cartoons, or how straight the lines look in harry patridge cartoons xD

If you want lines like professionals get a tablet that professionals use. Large/XL Intuos4/5 or a Cintiq you can get an older model for close to nothing on ebay but it will get the job done.
I use a bamboo and it is dreadful. The reason i say that is I had a intuos before and it broke so Ive tasted the greatness. I'll be upgrading to a cintiq soon and i couldnt be happier!

I'm about to bust my load im so excited!!

So, how is that some animators get those lines ? (i dont like shaping objects btw, im meaning drawing, not shaping)

Keep practicing man. There's no feeling better than drawing on paper you definitely improve faster on paper when your free from the deadly internet.
Really the only thing keeping people from becoming pro is the internet no doubt about it.

well in my opinion...

Maybe I'll do NATA next year.

Will TOFA be a part of Nata? The rounds diagram on the NATA website looks like there are 2 groups that compete and then the last standing on each side face off? I could be misguided? Could someone clear this up for me?

I use Cs3 and used to use Flash 8. Honestly I cant tell much of a difference the only one i can think of is the brushes are smaller on Cs3. However, Cs3 is a step up from flash 8 which allows you to down-save as Flash 8 files. There are a couple weird shape tools I don't use but if you do frame by frame the tools are useless, and there are newer tweens i believe but again with fbf their for the most part useless to me.
If you are Paying for cs3 dot bother there aren't enough additions to the software from flash 8.

Summed up. Not many differences if your paying for the upgrade don't bother. If its "Free" go for it, it can't hurt. :)

1. Hes a grown man in a child's closet, WATCHING the child sleep.
2. His face as the boogeyman makes it seem like he will hurt the "naughty child".
3. The music turns very dire pretty quickly and the camera panning up toward the night makes it seem like something terrible is happening.
4. He says "he he, OH YEAH, he he" (seriously, you had to have known that sounded wrong in the context right?)

Anyways, be careful about the implications of everything you use, including music, audio, the camera, even expressions.

What is with you and this rape thing? It's a little bit odd that you are obsessing over it so much. If anything it adds humor to the animation.

This isn't good at all. Take your time next time or if your better with flash use it.
The animation has a terrible lag. the clouds are moving in all directions and appear to be moving fast as well. I dont get why there's a floating.... Plant is it? The clouds look like they were shodilly painted and given a blur so you couldn't tell.
