Because I would like 5 people on this.

That sounds sweet as all hell! I'd definitely do that. If you have a loop in mind, send it to me ^.^

I agree, 5 people would be nice for this animation.

You gotta fix it up my moving the frames around and test it so it's perfect like yours!

Heh, Mine could use some work, but thanks.

I really like the songs it's like mysterious and the drumssss

I'm glad! I tried about 20 songs before I settled on this one. The worst part of this song is that it starts with "12:50, press return." So I had to through in that mouse (and that kinda crappy lip-synch) =\

And that update is seriously nice, that explosion and missle, I can't believe you even said you weren't sure you could do explosions or something....

*get your thesauras*

Hells yeah!

Sure, I can do that for you.

Yeah, it works now, it didn't earlier..so I need you to sort it!

*Will do what he can*

I actually have fallen in love with your fbf so far, it felt plain, but then I could feel the speciality behind it and it's really original. The explosion should be good, that one you already did do was smoothness, show me!

Alright - 24fps is faster than anything I've done before, so it's blowing my mind how quickly the stuff goes....That's why I added the Sweet FBF Action button =D

Next up: drawing the blue liquid flooding out. Do you have any water splashing sound effects, by the way? I only have a couple so-so ones.

Do you need it? I can find one for ya, if it makes the flash better

Nah, don't worry about it. I have a couple ok ones from Flashkit.com already....I just miss having Half-Life 2 on my computer. It had amazing sound effects that were all importable.

I was thinking more of a name like indiscrimination, one that you can guess the meaning but isn't a common word but a cool long one.

Hmm. I'll look for some cool titles.

And my flash keeps messing up, every time I upload the music goes funny, and then also the fla file dissapeared AGAIN. If I send you the swf when it's done, you can import it and maybe sync the timing for me? Because everytime I upload it, it's just me, so I suck.

Sure, I can do that for you.

By the way, I'm another 4 hours into my flash...and only 5 seconds further. This explosion took forever...but it turned out pretty sweet, for something that's 1.5 seconds long...Next up: drawing the blue liquid flooding out. Do you have any water splashing sound effects, by the way? I only have a couple so-so ones.

I'm not actually too sazzy with buttons, but I could always read some tutorials and make some. Movie clip buttons are sweet (thinking of the ones at the end of xiaoxiao 3).

Want an intro? I was thinking we could take a little bit from each work, but a short loop on, and flash the names accross the work that is ripped from theres, and then Newgrounds on the end and the title, what title?

The title? hmm...maybe just "Amatuer FBF" or "Five shades of Amatuer" or "Sweet FBF Action Vol.1"

Maybe when we have more finished animations, we will be able to think of a title from them.

Hhmmm, well yes, my pleasure =D
Well, I guess that would be quite awesome, because it starts empty and then pow colour colour colour, yeah, I think this will work =D

*Joy*

The timing is faster than the one on flash publish? This isn't fair.

That is getting more intense, quickly. I love the movement of the buildings in the small fight scene....that makes it very intense. Also, the fireball is very smooth. *impressed*

Ok, seriously, this is your own style, and I love it, and I want you to finish it up awesome, because style style <3 <3!!!!!1

*motivation...rising...work ethic...improving!* <3

Well, it isn't just pure lines and stuff, and you have a plot, but a little more colour anyways, because sometimes you can find it a little empty, maybe write the colours in the colour they are, or do a low alpha of it? That way you get a feeling of no colour but you can understand the point.....This is my collab, but this is your entry, =D

Hmm. I was thinking that the bareness in the beginning will make it even cooler once the colors start to come - but in any case, it's a really easy thing to change. I'll write that down and check to see if it still seems too barren when more of the flash is done. Thanks fer the feedback, sir.

Sorry to triple post, but I realized that in that preview, I forgot to add a sweet FBF action button.

That's fixed here.

Also, will you be handling the menu for the collaboration, snare?

You could make a who's-the-clone game!
You would see tons of clones (and one normal person) and have to pick out the original. The clones would all have slight differences (i.e. Extra/missing limbs, change of race, strange growths, hovering above the ground, face melting slightly, etc.)

Variant - put one human and two (perfect) clones in a row. Now, cover each one up with a (big) coconut shell. Quickly rearrange the coconut shells, then make the player choose which one has the clone. Did he or she choose correctly? We'll never know! (This game brings up important moral issues with cloning, so extra credit).

Alright, here's a preview of what I've done so far:

Bam!

The Idea is that the outside world is colorless (Everything just has its color printed on it) and a bunch of crayons are going to color it up again. To do this, they'll blow the hell out of the printed color's names. The bazooka shot at the end of this preview will rocket into the gigantic "B" of the word "BLUE" and smash it open - immediatly causing blue water to gush out of the letter and start filling the sky. Repreat this process on the various colors, and after 63 seconds, we're done.

So, it ends abruptly. Let me know if there's anything you dislike or would like to see changed, and I'll do it. In fact, if you hate the idea of this flash entirely, I could scrap it and start something new. This is your collaboration, anyway :)

Bahahahaha just hurry up!

*going going going*

Sounds awesomeness I love explosions, as long as you can do explosions =D

I've tried before a little, but this should be more intense than anything I've done before. Hopefully, I can do explosions =D

Nah, I havn't seen it. But story is great, because people keep going rawr no plot zero
And your flash is great I'm sure it will be sweet!

Well, even though I have plot, people might be thinking "WTF?" after they see it... The protagonists are....well....they're crayons. =\

=D I'm getting better

Yeah you are! I'm surprised you only have one animation up on NG, it seems like you would have had to make tons more to get as good as you are.

And an award hopefully then!

I love this flash!!!1

*Very happy to be in on it*

(Progress report: BOOM! goes the bazooka)

I wanna see your skillz coz I want a blue score really bad and your awesome!

K, I'll upload it in a second, because I haven't really gotten to the awesome part yet....

II've got about 25 seconds done, and in the next 5 seconds, there'll be explosions and gushing water and whatnot.

My flash is (somewhat) story-based, and starts out mostly black and white, but will change as we go. Have you ever seen the movie "Pi"? I'm using the main them from that as music (not as intense as yours, but suits the story).

By the way, nice update, I like it already :D

We'll totally get blue, man.

Your flash is awesome, nice style, original too, yeah hopefully you will whip up something tasty =D

Thanks mans! I'm working on the new animation, and it's coming out pretty sweet. Also, pretty friggin' weird. I'll send you a preview, if you like.

Not to start a debate here, but you honestly believe that athiests are self-righteous? I don't consider myself athiest, (I don't practice religion, but I don't debate the existance of some type of paranormal life) but I feel that many religious people who decide to force religion as top priority of theirselves and others are more self-righteous and arrogant.

Athiests can be as self-righteous and pushy as the strongly religious can - forcibly saying that God doesn't exist, they're sure of it, and that anybody who believes in God is a fool.

I'm sure there are plenty of religious people who don't try to force their religion on others, and athiests who keep their opinions to themselves. It's just that both parties are capable of similar self-righteous arguments.

If I remember the book's reasoning correctly, the woman in the picture was not supposed to mean that there was actually a woman at the table - Leonardo was just being an ass to his employers by slipping in his own viewpoints. So the strict Jewish seating arrangement argument doesn't apply.

Some more fictional anti-church reading: The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. It's the first of an awesome trilogy. I prefer it over Harry Potter in the kids-as-protagonists-genre.

The anti-church themes are more subtle than those in The Da Vinci Code, at least in the first book...by the third, it's pretty clear.

Such a good book.... *tear*

Hey, I'd like to try to get in, if there's room and if you think I'm good enough. *Starts looking for music to use*

You can check out my one animation on NG....it has a little FBF in it. And perhaps I can bust out with something awesome for this...

What? Coward!

They've not ulterior motives.

I suppose you're right - the motives of the PETA aren't ulterior, but neither are those of the fur business. One wants to make money, the other wants to help the poor animals. Both will exaggerate to prove their - PETA will find the most brutal fur company to make its video about, to convert the most people as possible.

And good for them, it's working! Ugly stuff in that video.

Well, you have use black and white stones. The board is a 19x19 grid of lines, no holes. The game involves surrounding terriroty and capturing enemy pieces. If you want to throw yourself into it, Yahoo Games lets you play...it's not what I use to play online, but it works.

It's good to know that these things are remembered. It didn't work out exactly as well as I had hoped, but overall, I'd call the proclamation a success. By they way...did you like the name? Emancipation Proclamation...well, I thought it was snazzy...
