I'd like to suggest a different font for the credits while I'm at it. The audio sync doesn't look that bad by the way, except for maybe the credits. I doubt it'll affect the score though. Let's do it!

Lol check the "under judgement' movies. It's already uploaded.

I wish I knew what the problem was but I don't use After Effects. :/

Please reply, with any Voice Actors and Newgrounds Music submission, you used in your piece. ( Even if you have messaged me with them )

Well, the voice actress in my part wanted to be credited as "Caitlin Buckley" without the quotes and all music in my part was made by me.

Been working today on my part. Made quite a bit of progress, here's a teaser.

Haha, thanks.Your teaser is great I can't wait until this gets uploaded!

Alright, I'm done! I'll be sending you my part in a few minutes!

That's good to hear. I can't wait to see everyone's part. Toon Boom literally crashed mid-way through exporting and that's what taking me so long, haha.

Ok, After I add background music in my part and export it as an mp4 file I'll send it to you. Toon Boom just has a long export time. Hopefully I can make it in time.

Adding sound to flash is easy, just drag and drop your sound into your library, then on the frame you want your audio to start you'll look at the "properties" window and it'll say "Sound" just select the sound file that you imported, then change "event" to "stream" to sync up your animation.

My way of doing it-

Make the audio file in Audacity, import voice files, then sort them accordingly. Add sound effects and music, and voila' I have a sound file to animate over. If I need to make any changes, I just update my sound file and re-export/import.

Awesome, I guess I'll be using mp4 because I use 3 layers of sound in my projects. Voice acting, sound effects, and background music. They each aren't three big files either so that's why I can't just use Audacity to combine them. They are initially in small sound files. After this project I'm going to learn how to put them all in one layer so I can import it into flash easily using the method you mentioned.

But truly I did some good progress on my part and I'm so sad of not being able to complete it. Hopefully, when I recover few days later I will finish it and post it so that you can enjoy it. Again I'm so sorry for letting you down, it was beyond me :(

Sorry to hear that and I hope you feel better.

This is my first time ever incorporating sound with flash and I'm completely lost there lol. I usually use Sony vegas for my editing. So, my question is if the fla. file our only option for exporting or can we send mp4, mov, or something else? If it's flash only I'll try to look up a quick tutorial and go through a crash course on adding sound in flash haha. As for my part, I'm on my last scene so I'll be done very soon. If not tonight definitely tomorrow.

I'm almost done. Only 10 camera shots remain.

Ah, crap... I just noticed I reached the 2 minute limit. And judging from how much I have left to do in my script my part might be a little longer than 3 minutes. I must have gotten the time limit confused with another collab as I was writing the script. If I continue working on it I'll have it done by the due date though, I'm a fast animator. Do you mind if my part reaches 3 minutes or do I need to compromise?

Edit: False alarm, I just reached 1 minute lmao. I'm not used to working with 24 frames per second so I mistook 1440 frames as 2 minutes when its actually 1 minute. Gah, I'm so slow lol!

Oh cool. She wanted to use her name so I'll pm it when you need it for the credits.

Oh! About the voice actors, do you want us to give you their name for the credits or to have them make a newgrounds account for credit. I don't know why I waited until now to bring this up, haha.

The arms on the girl look a little off, I think it may be the top part ( biceps ) being too long. Her elbows should come just above where her belly button should be. The total length I think looks "about" right, just that top part I think.

Ah ok, I'll try adjusting the length of her arm. Thanks for the feedback.

Another update. I'm still working on my part. In my next update, I"ll try to upload a small part of my animation so you can see a scene in action.

I still may be primitive compared to the rest of the examples that I have seen but I am very excited even more than what I saw this collab being announced. I have more ideas and work to do tomorrow and start recording what I can monday.

VIVA LA FRANCE

That's good to hear. The more contributions to the collab the better, right?

Either there needs to be part of her on the wall, or the angle of the arm shadow is off. But otherwise it looks really good. Great use of hard shadows, I could never get that effect down well. I'll attempt some this time around for fun.

Oh! Yes, the angle of the shadow was facing the wrong way lol. Thanks for pointing that out.

I made big progress during this week but still nowhere near the half-way mark. Just an update to let you all know I'm still working on my part.

Alright, tomorrow I will resume working on my part for this collab. Just wanted to let you all know I'm still working on it, haha.

Alright I'm done! I sent my fla file to TheMAM.

Ah, cool. This last part was taking long than I anticipated, haha. I was going to pull an all-nighter to get it done. I'll still do it even with the extended deadline. I can't wait, I'm almost done with my part.

Ok I'm working on the final action scene. The run time seems like it will go over 20 seconds but as much as my last year's entry. 480 frames equals 20 seconds and my entry will go up to 490 frames. If you want me to cut 10 frames away I'll do that before I'm finished with my part.

So yeah, I'll have my part done on August 31st and I'll send you the fla file then.

Gonna try to pump it out tonight if I can

Oh I export it from Toonboom into a swf file and then I import it into Flash to make a fla file. It seemed to work last year so I'm trying it again. Haha nice it seems you can work well under the pressure of a deadline. I can't wait to see your part.

your doing urs in toonboom? Starting mine now ( in flash) lol

I'm finally breaking out of toonboom (background-wise). I can't even make fully detailed backgrounds without it glitching up on me lol. So yea, I'm using toonboom for animations and photoshop for backgrounds.

Wait... you're just starting? O_o

I'm more than half-way done. Sometime next week I'll upload a small teaser. I won't show my entire part because I want it to be a surprise :D. I'm doing better about fighting off my procrastination lol.

Ah... I'm having the 'slow down' problem again. I'm guessing there's a little too much going on. I'll figure out how to fix it before my next update. Here's my progress so far.

One assassin down, four more to go :)

Heh, I think its cool. A girl waking from a pleasant dream and finds herself inside a white room. It leaves the audience to speculate whether she was kidnapped or not. Really nice.
