Sprites aren't allowed. As for the claymation thing, when we see the finished part we can all make a decision whether to include it, based on it's quality.

feel free to tell your friends about it, the more the merrier!

yeah, just watch out for the file size shooting up. The last collab was 10.9mb so we just made the size limit, so as long as the file size isn't too high I don't see why not.

The 5 Hour Collab V thread will be posted on Wednesday (22nd July) at 7pm (UK time) 2pm (Eastern Daylight time - which is the time Newgrounds runs on). The theme will be posted and participants will have 5 hours to animate a flash in that time and then send it into to me and I'll compile them all into one big collab!

Hope to see you on the main thread on Wednesday. (Also, if you want me to PM you when the thread is starting, to remind you, tell me here and I'll PM you when I post the thread.)

Here's is a run down of the previous 5 Hour Collabs:
The 5 Hour Collab
The 5 Hour Collab II
The 5 Hour Collab III (won a daily 3rd)
The 5 Hour Collab IV (won a daily 4th)

already there myself. When I get to level 30 i'm going to stop depositing though.

Howcome NG pay's more than Mochiads, and how do you know this?

Mochiads
Newgrounds Pass Impressions: 92,379, Earnings: $55.11 (that was before I switched to NG ads)

NG ads
Newgrounds Pass 2 Impressions: 126,008, Earnings: $129.24
Newgrounds Pass 3 Impressions: 130,131, Earngins: $125.78

he's getting old, you know

one thing to note is that NG ads makes you more money than Mochiads. Also, for people wanted to get payed quickly, you only need to make $50 on NG ads to get payed as opposed to Mochiads, where you need to make at least $100 to get payed. So keep that in mind guys.

The Clock Crew is a classic NG group, they aren't classified as a spam group. Plus they even have their own collection, they have their own day and they've made some pretty decent movies as well. Some submissions are spammy, but on the whole, they are alright.

yeah, of course. I wouldn't get hung up on that play button thing. The whole point of the preloader was to have a smooth transition between the loading and the icons forming the the scene selection, this effect could only be achievement without the use of a play button.

Exactly, normal collabs are good on the flash forum, but they take so long to finish and by the end, you sometimes lose interest. I love time trial collabs because it's done quickly, while everyone's still interested in it and no time's wasted.

By the way, in response to other people's recent posts, the head's up thread and PM's will be send 1 week before the main thread is posted to give you even more time to prepare and plan stuff!

When does the next one of these start?

I believe in July. Then August.

Yeah, I'll give you more accurate dates closer to the time, but you're all invited to the other 5 Hour Collabs to make parts.

Yeah, that bit of your part would not have been emphasized if it was in full. Cutting it down paid off.

Yeah, you should have seen my and 8:59PM, I had uploaded the file onto NG and everything, but because the file was 10.8mb, it took to long to upload and it went past 9PM :(

Anyway, we can still win a daily feature today.

He doesn't post as often as he did before, that's for sure.

I was meaning to talk to you about that. There was a big co-author glitch, which is why Techno was co'd twice and such. Anyway, sorry you there was over 10 parts and you just missed out on getting co'd, your part was still awesome mind.

Yeah, well, in amongst all the panic of submitting it on time, flash crashed, so I've only really got the swf. now and a not very well updated FLA.

You're going to get co-authored. I'm trying to co-author you and Mattster, but it won't updated properly. There's some glitch going on.

The part i cut out was the part with the vcam, that's why I took it out. I was either that or the whole part. It's the whole vcam thing which has messed things up. You've got to understand why i did it. I wanted to keep the whole part, but I couldn't

At 6/23/09 09:48 PM, DrClay wrote: ...why...
why did you edit out the final part of my cartoon...

sorry man, I had to make drastic cuts on bits with vcams, in order to get the awesome scene select to work. It's nothing personal buddy, It's for the best.

Anyway, i'm trying to add Techno and Mattster to co-authors but a glitch is stopping me from doing so, i'll try and find a way out of it.
