bertn, hmm, Im trying to think of how you can help out... you could... well, I guess you could help us all brain storm. What do you think needs to be in a Dad n Me skate part? (since thats what I'm doing) Other than Dad or his son of course :P

HEY GUYYYYS! :D What's going on?? A new collab?? Morrowdays's making a collab?? What's the plot?? PLease, tell me what's happening? :D:D:D:D:D

Pico Day skate collab! Use a character from the ones that tom fulp said were allowed, THEY ARE:

Pico, Nene, Darryl,
A-Bot, G-Bot, P-Bot, other bots I've forgotton,
the Tankmen,
and Dad'n'Me characters.

the rest of the specs are around the bottom of the last page, but if you click on my posts you'll find them there too :)
Hope you can join! :)

I think its a flower, btw. not a sheep. NOT A SHEEP >:(

I'll do a part with... Pico? :)

>T

awesome! can't wait!

thanks bertn! you'll get there :) learning animation does take time. cool picture, thanks for the support :)

hmm... so I saw the pico day preloader and I was like, DDAAYYUMM, because its really awesome, so I wanted to do something for pico day, so I thought of doing a Dad'n'Me skate animation, which I'll do regardless of the take-up of this idea, ANYWAYS,

We have 10 days. Who wants to make a pico day skate collab? doesnt have to be long, but I think it would be fun to animate the bots or pico or tankmen or whoever on skateboards.

For any of you who want to take part, here are the specs:

-24 FPS
--600x375
-Any of the allowed characters, Pico and friends, Tankmen, the bots, Dad'n'Me, any of them.
--Minimum... I guess 10 seconds. Feel free to include long tweens of scenery if you're short on skating animation. ;)
-I'll do menu and credits, and a dad'n'me part so you guys dont have to worry about that extra stuff.

I really hope some of you are up for this, I think it could be really fun.

First of all im a girl.
Ye ima bitch.

You guys are all like all flashed up and shit, im trying.
Ill give your 'point' system a go.

haha, the point system is mostly a joke, its nothing serious :)

even if you use pivot, we just want to see what you can do with a skater, so that Jestar can make his almighty leader of everything decision. :P

congrats!

Allright dude.
1] You have to make a trial flash before you can join the club.

but jestar! he doesnt have any "flash animation programs"! oh noes!

2] We know what skateboarding is. We know how to ollie.
3] It doesnt matter if you skate.
4] If you haven't watched many skate flashes, please go watch some.

-={Jestar}=-

I think not knowing that flash is the only flash animation program counts for minus 5 points, so peanut guy, your current balance is -5, and you need a score of 10 to join, as well as that trial animation, even if you do use pivot. so keep posting and I'll keep scoring you :)

If you fall below -20, you're out.

this could be fun.

LIES.

line fbf is an excellent place to start, its where I did. JMTB02 did some fun simple stuff with line FBF, and once you get the physics of it down you can start to do more complicated stuff. I was doing line FBF for probably two or three months before I even new how to motion tween, and a lot of really talented NG animators say FBF animation if far superior to tweened work. All it takes is practice.

If you cant think of anything to animate lines doing, then just make them spin around in circles while slowing down and speeding up, smoothly of course. And lastly, work with 20/24 frames per second to start, if you start with 12, switching to 24 will be too big a jump, and 24 is the standard that pretty much everyone uses. Some people say 30 is better, but even though its smoother, it takes a fair bit longer to animate a minute using 30 instead of 24, and the difference is not even that noticeable.

Check out my earliest stuff, Greymation, The Wall, and Colors if you're still stuck for ideas.

good luck :)

good preview kyle, well synced and animated. You'll get take up on this, but dont bump your thread too much, otherwise you wont because people wont take you as seriously.

Good idea for a collab, but I wont be joining, as syncing to music isnt something I'm good at, and also because Im canadian :)

good luck!

nice work guys, have a five! :)

3.63 to 3.65 / 5.00 (+ 0.022) all of it was really nice, lord of the crayons especially. keep it up, good luck on an award.

bertn, it looks as though you're nollieing while riding in the opposite direction that you were when you ollied. End of confusion.

lmao GFD, epic win :)

um, I answered your question.

ITS OVER 9000!!!!

awesome biskitz, good to have you back! ;)

awesome. so we've got vincoid as the mayor, ziwon as the beauty queen, nick as some crazy long title about coffee and the world, and I think we'll have to kick biskitz out because glasgow is definitely NOT cardboard city. and Kyle as the town idiot.

sorry biskitz, the tribe has spoken.

P

umm.... yeah. I think I'll be the Minister of Arts or something like that :D

good stuff kyle, I still dont like how he fades away though. try making a new layer below the hill and then copying him from the above hill layer to the below hill layer and tweening him down from there. I had to do something like that in 'drear/happy infestation', its simple, but it involves an extra layer or two. Its the part where he goes along the three hills.

^ best picture ever.

sistem, lochie answered this ALREADY, IF YOU MAKE A PART WE LIKE, IT'LL BE IN THE COLLAB. end of story.

looking good, I dont think the buildings need to be blurred though, and when the guy walks down the hill he gets way too small and then just disappears. its looking nice though, I like the doctor seuss like trees. :)

Jake, your fla. It doesnt make any sense! on the stage it just shows the big "sky" rectangle with a blue tint, and in the library all the symbols are there, and when you export it as an SWF it runs fine, but when I put it into the master file it just shows that blue rectangle for sky, because you dont have the movie nested in that movieclip or anything. so I dont know whats going on there and I think it'd be simplest to just use the one without the animated birds. You did everything right, but at some point something got a little weird.

The strangest thing is that when you watch it in a SWF its fine, so I dont know whats up at ALL.

People of cardboard city, we are making progress. Haha, in the credits, everyone should have like, a different municipal job, like for example, "Mayor: Vincoid", "Director of Parks and Recreation: Handsome Jake" etc. etc.

I dunno, good idea? bad idea?

I dont think we do it here, no. although I'll come to norway just for mine so I can get lots of presents :)

confirmation? like, becoming an adult or something? thats the only thing I could think of :P

Where is my mind, pixies (beatsynced)

haha, you used my guy, awesome! I think Im going to use him in some stuff too.

moro co-cap

yays! <3

One of us needs to be a mod just so we can kick people from this thread and such. :P

I seriously doubt both of your companions left you for no reason [as in, you probably did something wrong].
I hate to be the asshole here but... I mean...
I have horrible clinical depression and I deal with it. I mean, I'm sick almost every day it gets so bad.
I'm sorry you feel so shitty but you gotta fix it yourself and stop moping around. Its called being adult.
Also, I don't want that q1314312313 guy in here anymore. He just leads us off-track.
Please, current members, don't invite friends or whatever without checking with us first. And if we say no, tough luck. I mean this club has really gotten retarded.
I wanted to create a club where people could simply share flash with eachother, and that hardly ever happens anymore.

AMEN.

I share your opinions thoroughly. I'd like to make something with you, but I can't right now cos Im sort of busy, but yeah, definitely some time soon. <3

howz it goin sfc??

Im not really sure... I could hardly understand what q12asdf said, bertn is sad, i think, someone new is joining, marcy can't speak properly, tommy was teaching people about streaming, and g-f-d has a pet skunk that he sold a fifth of to some kid for $45. xD

that is all.

so jake, you want me to leave the sky in for now and see how it looks with audio? Can do!

marcy, in the first post, we mentioned that nick and I are going to add sky textures in the background of anyone's part left white, but now it seems as though the sky in my part just there is to busy so depending on how it sounds with audio, I might change it to another pattern.

ya kyle, theres room. welcome aboard :)

I love you so much right now it's unreal!

<3

Ok, maybe not that much, but still, looks a lot better right now ;)

</3

haha, glad you liked it, thanks for the tips :)

thanks guys, I lightened the sky and slowed it down a bit and made it so it goes perfectly straight instead of slightly down, and vincoid, I removed the brown/white poles and replaced them with ordinary cardboard poles, I agree with you now, it does work better. :)

good, good.

this is something I've been working on, what do you guys think? if it feels too busy I might take out the cars or change the lightness/darkness of different objects and such. I dunno, I like it. its a simple masking technique, but in this context I think it works pretty well.

thanks cronic.
