try flashkit sounds section or the freesound project?

if your thinking of short story sort of thing, i would use Todorov's narrative theory which comes in 5 stages:

1) a state of happiness / equilibruim
2) a disruption in the equilibrium
3) a recognition of the disruption
4) an attempt to restore the equilibrium
5) a return to the first state

also, i often make ones that are just creative bursts when i want to animate, e.g. Gravity's Just A Theory

hope this helps

hehe cool design! and i think if you want the guy to move really fast, the current ones should be fine, you could do fbf for the smoothest outcome, or you could simply move the character in the right direction without actualy changing the shape if you know what i mean, as in the images take 2 frames each, but movement is in every frame. but yea, adam phillips often uses one position for a while when in the air and things. could you make a bigger picture? or maybe post a swf of how it looks just like that? that might help. The bit in the air i would just tween, maybe a bit of stretching/squashing? but if you're really up for it, and want to make a masterpiece, i would try fbf, hope this helps :D

ah, welcome Greensinge, seen you about on the GTA collab forum, of which i made the sig :D thanks for expressing an interest! let me know if you decide on a part you want, and thanks again ^^

ofcourse you can! just checked out that weird lil cartoon, it's brilliant, if you can make something of that quality then go for it! :D and yes, you can have part 1

hehe, yea, there doesn't seem to be much going on here tbh :D

stick that in if you want

i'm working on a new cartoon at the moment but i am still accepting new people and parts, so send away!

*insert high pitched yelp* the mountains tremble with the insanely high yet bassy note emerging from the depths of my favourite vocal chords. I would like to help! I can lay down some phat beats and bass riffs with the use of my second face :) i may be able to get you a labelled record too, i'm not sure what label to put on it yet, i might just do a smiley face, now to find a record....

Hi guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but i need some voices for a remake of an old cartoon i did, check it out to see what sort of voices i mean, see if you have any recommendations or reckon you could do it, i don't want the voices exactly like that just quite posh and comical like a normal narrator. All the characters' voices are available too, the lines will all be the same. I may add a few others in. If there's another website or topic i should go to please let me know :)

very DMC, me likes!

yea, Paint is really difficult to use, i find if you button bush and things pop up it helps you to learn the basics, i think you should leave us all in anticipation and release it a year eariler. Also, try and use 4 dimensions, that's always interesting, the song should probably have a good smell too, maybe get one off amazon? just a few suggestions, good luck! I look backward to hearing it!

Art-Saint's part is now complete. And all is well in the land of Og. If you want to do a second part then check it with me first, i'm going to say atleast a BA of 3 if you want to do a second part :)

Hey I'v got a bit more freetime, I don't mind doing another part... (8 or 9)

sure go for it! btw, did you send me the fla? i can't seem to find it :S

hip hop glados is now on the audio portal, rate it highly, it might get it more listens, hense, more people joining the collab :3

kk, good stuff, looking forward to it.

awesome! :D are you going to do a background?

awesome! you're very good at drawing characters :) i can do objects and things fine, people, i'm rubbish at, that's why Gravity's Just A Theory was my most successful, i didn't have to draw any people :D

but yea, it looks very good, keep it up!

Looks pretty aight. Maybe add some colours (or colors) at the second scene, you know at the background with the lines or machine.

should i take another part :o hmmm

It's a free forum. Maybe let some other people join

kk, thanks

i would be Gordon Freeman in half-life 2, aaaah, the possibilities

But if you move that onto the main timeline wont it just repete over and over again?

or if it doens't necessarily have to be a mc, convert it to a graphic and select play once.

what about a portal collab? hmm, what a good idea. yes, yes it is...

*see forum signature* ^^

ooo, sounds awesome :D and yes, a minigame is probably quite excessive, but if you want to, go for it! :D thanks again, and firefox is awesome! better than IE :D anyway, bit of a nooby question but i've never done this before, do i need to add people as friends or something on NG to add them as coauthors, or can i just type the names in? if you know what i mean :S

Ah, curse the Firefox!

nice work again souled, how's the menu doing? if it looks anything like the sig i will be very impressed

Very well, plus it's interactive. :)
Should I make a mini-game in the preloader of some sort or is that too excessive?

Hey I'm 13 years old from Manchester, I talk badass over the internet to sound cool.
If anyone's the virgin it's you sir.

Plus you're a Manc, just shut the hell up and deal with the rules, it's really not that hard, all you have to do is submit one more flash to the portal with a score like your last flash got, if you're really that good at animation, then you would abide to the rules and instead of arguing be working on one more flash. No one's making this hard for you, everyone has followed the rules in terms of collabs in the Flash forum, what would make you so special?

You give Northeners a bad name.

yo, i'm from Manchester, and that was out of order!!! :3

yea, he's realised that his BA was too low, even tho he does good animation, he's quite annoyed, nuff said :) now lets all stop poo flinging and have a civil conversation. Mugabe for president! *ahem*
