Due to problems over at Stickpage, DOT II is going to be held back due to misconception and etc. So please, hold back on your parts until further notice.

DOT II - The Sequel : Stickpage Thread

Well if you guys haven't heard, today is the due date and starting date of fast-paced compiling. You guys that didn't finish, it's alright! I'll give you guys a 3-day extension while I'm compiling so you can make some short part. If it's passed 3 days, NO MORE PARTS. Sorry but it's just how it is.

The collab progress :

Part I : Done
Part II : Done
Part III : Done
Part IV : Progress.
Part V : Not Started.
Part VI* : Maybe.

Record Broken? : Maybe. Not in parts of course, but in the longest and Largest United Collaboration in the World 2012.

Hey guys! With 4 more days until parts are due, I've been doing some early compiling. And I have to say, this collaboration is probably the biggest one I've ever made. :O

The DOT is expected to be separated into 5 parts. If not, maybe more. [ 3 minutes for each part and about 5 for the last. ] Part 1 and 2 are done while Part 3 is in session. C'mon guys! This is your last opportunity to turn something in! If you guys don't turn in by the 15th, don't worry! I will have a short 3 day extension for the late comers. But once that 3 days is done, no more accepting parts.

My style is bloody, if I can't do my style in this collab then I'm not doing it >:(

I'm sorry, but it's just how it is. :C

About 15 more days until the DOT due date! Get your parts in, guys!

Hey guys! Sorry for the double post but I just realized I didn't post what our progress is here! :O

We have reached 11 minutes on the collab! Just 1-2 more minutes and more parts then we beat the record! [ Doors 3 made the record of 12-13 minutes of over 100 parts. ]

Remember : This collab is gonna be seen around the world and me and the other hosts wants to make this collab amazing and unique in every way. I do see that you really want to be in the collab, but you have to understand that you have to do better.

It was quite good at first, but the sounds and the near end once the grey guy spawns just went horribly wrong. Plus, the dot didn't even start at the middle! You cannot have the dot start off somewhere else!

We have confirmed that we are now over the 10 minute mark of the collaboration! Just several more minutes over and we beat the Doors 3 general animation length, making the DOT collaboration the world's largest animation collaboration in art history!! :D

Well I just finished mine and it'll add another 30 seconds.
I really hope this is okay, I wasn't sure if I was aloud dialouge but I put it in anyway.
Also I reeaallly wasn't sure about how much blood I could actually have, but I found some blood splats in the libary of the template so I thought it'ld be okay to have blood splats :s

I really hope the amount of blood I put in is okay, I spent almost 3 hours doing the blood :(

Here's my entry, just tell me if the blood is okay or not before I pm you:

Yeah I forgot to remove the inner symbols that were already there because originally I made a banner with blood splat vectors. Now I see you got quite confused.

This collab is supposed to be PG rated. No excessive blood or gore. Any swear words that appear will have to be censored for child safety. For you part, I would suggest bring that violence thing WAY down. Like, make it less brutal with that dot smashing that guy repeatedly. :I

Alright! I'll get right to work :D

p.s I'm a really bad animator but I can try

Don't worry! As you make your part, you can ask me for some cnc if you would like. ^^

Sure! Just create a part and I'll see if it's substantial enough.

How much gore can we have? Is it okay to have big splats of blood or is this blood-free??

Well if you are those kind of Madness people, I suggest bringing the blood level to a minimum since I want this PG rated.

Hey guys!

Well since the due date is so long, I'm afraid most people are forgetting about the collaboration. :C Because of this, I'm moving the due date up. Like.... WAAAAAY up.

Instead of the due date being December 21st, I'm pulling it up to November 15th. I know all of you are so busy with school and all that other stuff, but I am most likely going to be even more busy and won't have any time to take care of this collaboration. So I'm sorry, but the new due date is now November 15th.

Also, if you sent me a part that got accepted but don't see your name on the list, please tell me and send me your part again.

Look at this please before I send you the FLA in a PM.

Hehe, pretty simple, but funny. ^^ You may send me the fla in PM.

Sorry for the double post but this is an announcement post.

I will be starting to compile the best NG parts for a representation for the DOT Teaser #2! If you can make it in 6 days, you will then be represented, but only ONE can be used! So if you think you have what it takes, make a part and turn it in by the 25th of September!

Not too sure what you mean. o.O

The left hand side of the screen on the flash viewing page. Will those who participate in this collab be listed there showing that they have taken part of this collaboration? You can add those people using the Project system. Also, I highly recommend you using music from the Audio Portal for this. Even if it is just for the Newgrounds version. Using copyrighted music is becoming a tad bit taboo and it might have more success if you explore your options. If you need any help with anything let me know. I might not make a part, but I have put together a lot of collabs and can offer advice if you need it.

Advice for NG music would be great for the NG version! ^^ Also, yes I will be adding people's names into the credits for coauthor. But, only those who made an entry will be listed. I won't be naming everyone who entered if they didn't make a part. For the Project System for those who made a part, yes. But, I will be needing EVERYONE who made a decent part and got accepted to give me their NG username in order to do that. :P

@Gay-Penguin

You do know that it doesn't have to be stick figures. But because that's what you want to animate, smoothen it out.

@Jomillex

Haters gon' hate. @3@

can-i-do-it?

Well you can, but I'm gonna have to change it back to 24 FPS because that is the compiling FPS. I'd recommend double framing your part so that it wouldn't look too fast in 24 FPS when you set it lower when you are working.

http://www.fileize.com/view/ac540827-890/

It's better, though I'm still unsure if the whole animation is still in polishing because it's not quite there. Like, I'd have it more impactful and more speed instead of steady and smooth mostly. It's good though. ^^

And yeah, we have a comfirmed amount of over 240 people in the collaboration. :O

@plaguemover

If you're talking about the guides, yes you can. :P

@Alphaman

Not quite up to par and you broke several rules as well.

1. No immediate BG. You must transition.
2. You have to exit as well.

lol Sorry. I read it the wrong way. xD Well, people that I have so far are making some pretty short parts like Doors 3. There are people from TheSpritas and Maplemation that make some pretty lengthy parts, which is a good thing for the collab since I'm thinking of splitting it into 3 parts, one with a different music.

Im curious to see what else you have on your movie. Maybe everyone post where they are at in their parts.

Actually, no one put down where they are from. xD

Hey, if you guys have a part that is of 3-5 seconds long, but is unfinished, please turn in what you have so far for the teaser that will be appearing on Newgrounds. If you don't have a long enough shot, don't worry! I will be creating 1 or 2 more teasers for you guys to be able to be in and get the people around the world excited! ^^

Well either way, the guy does have a point. I don't wanna sound harsh, but I do want this collaboration of high standard and quality. So please, DO your hardest. I don't want any crappy parts with mostly tweens or such.

I'm very sorry for the double post, but urgent announcement!

If many of you are CS users such as Flash CS 4, CS 5.5, or CS 6, I have now finalized my Flash CS 6 so I can now accept CS fla files! No need to export into a FLV or SWF, just give me the fla! ^^

(Sorry 4 double posting)

Very nice! Though I think you should increase the speed of Link falling and going because it seems too slow. Try to remove about 5 - 8 frames of the tweens and it would be a whole lot better! ^^

Basically anything that isn't too adult rated. ^^

Hopefully it's not too much, but can you make that thing popping out the man's finger? That way, people won't be confused or disgusted. ^^

If you feel this is to risky for the collab then ill understand and step out of the collab. Maybe if another idea comes to me that i really like ill do it. Anyways let me know and no hard feelings.

Actually, I like the idea of pulling out a man. I think you can make it comedic by have the man cover himself and just run away like a pussy. ^^
