After the success of The Mad World Collab when it was submitted back in 2005, I decided to take a break from Newgrounds altogether and concentrate on other aspects of my life..
I have occasionally submitted the odd post or what not but apart from that the time I spent on Newgrounds over the last 3 years have been minimal to say the least..
I have decided to return and come back to concentrate on flash and I feel that my absence away has made me more mature and I feel that I have grown alot since my departure from Newgrounds.
I have been thinking about making this even before Mad World was submitted and it has been one of my all time favorites though I decided against starting up a collab as I relied HEAVILY on other people with my flash works when Mad World was in the works and my leadership on Mad World was poor to say the least.
Though I feel I have learned from my experiences and am 100% committed to this project.
Now that I am back I am keen to get involved with Newgrounds projects and become a regular on the flash forum again.
But enough about my life story... lets get on to the information of the collab.
COLLAB DETAILS :
Framerate: 20 fps
Background: White
Stage Size: Default size 550 by 400
Name Symbols Originally : KJDunwoody_Background1
Due Date: September 1st - As I will be going on holiday a few days later I feel this is enough time.
No Sticks,Clocks,Locks etc;
All Parts must be put into a movieclip.
THEME:
The theme of the collab will be Serious animation, with black,white, grey colors (Other dark colours will be accepted depending on the way its animated or shown) I would like the flash to have a Noir feeling to it as the song tells a story in a way. I feel this would best show the mood of the song and it would personally in my opinion look fantastic if done right.
Apology's to anyone who doesn't agree but I shall be very selective when it come's to the collab. I will give everyone a fair chance to prove themselves if required but if i'm not happy with either the direction the piece is being taken in or the quality of the animation you will not be accepted.
(LYRICS)
1 - Introduction
2 - Round, Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel,
3 - Never ending on beginning, On an ever-spinning reel
4 - Like a snowball down a mountain, Or a carnival balloon
5 - Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon
6 - Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes on its face
7 - And the world is like an apple Spinning silently in space
8 - Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind!
9 - Like a tunnel that you follow To a tunnel of its own
10 - Down a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never shone
11 - Like a door that keeps revolving In a half-forgotten dream
12 - Like the ripples from a pebble Someone tosses in a stream.
13 - Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes on its face
14 - And the world is like an apple Spinning silently in space
15 - Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind!
16 - Keys that jingle in your pocket Words that jangle in your head
17 - Why did summer go so quickly? Was it something that I said?
18 - Lovers walk along a shore And leave their footprints in the sand
19 - Was the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand?
20 - Pictures hanging in a hallway or the fragment of a song,
21 - half-remembered names and faces but to whom do they belong?
22 - When you knew that it was over Were you suddenly aware That the autumn leaves were turning To the color of her hair?
23 - Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel
24 - Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel
25 - As the images unwind Like the circles that you find
26 - In the Windmills of your mind.
