:and ZombieLincon, I really cant wait for yours.

This update is pretty small...about 1 more second of animation. It took an embarrassing amount of time to make (about 6 hours), and I'm not very happy with it at all. I think I need to extend it....

I might change the explosion so all the elements go at 12 fps (just adding one frame to each keyframe)...

There's no tweening at all....the longest part might have been the smoke (with it's shadows) or the dozens of tiny pieces of flame...and the flame around each chunk...Gah. I'm not sure why it doesn't look hardcore to me.

The Sweet FBF Action button now brings you directly to the new explosion, so you can check out the semi-glory =\

I am excited about the next scene....the green won't pour out as a liquid like the blue did =)

PS - I will fix up the file size in the final version.

It's coming, it's coming...I'm not actually too happy with the explosion so far...But it's getting spiced up. Snare's is coming along awesomely.

My Flash program is screwed, so I have to re-install it

ho - hum, >_<

Hope you didn't lose any files?

LOL at the little chick that comes out of the egg! *flips a jig and a half*

This better than the other crappy on, like the one with the boom blob?

I definitely think so, I can watch this over and over, so freaking much going on...very hardcore, very extreme!

Hurry up for your update >=) I love it.

*work work work*

=D This is going really sweet, lalalala.

SO awesome! I lke the explosion that's all different colors, the stick figure tweaking out, the red line bouncing along on the bottom....And you synched the lines in the air with the music PERFECTLY! I watched it about eight times, then went through frame by frame...it's awesome, man, awesome!

I should have an update soon...this explosion is taking forever. Hopefully it will look worthwhile =)

Keep us posted with previews, either here, on the FBF forums, or in the chat - I like to see what you're coming up with =)

Apis was not that good either, it was just tweens and lines basically, but I dunno it felt less empty than BBQ for me. The opening piano and the bunny was the only good bits for bbq.

Well, I'd agree about the emptiness. Hmm... BBQ's character designs remind me of Dan Paladin's. They're both pretty glorious.

ABH let me host on his site, snare.abhpro.com It's not done yet but I can make a layout, and you can do some awesome fbf graphics and so can I and we can have a cool site!! It's like not gonna be quick but when we get a rep for good flash we could get loads of members =D

Coolcool! Having FBF integrated into the site will be sweet =D

Yeah, meh......JeStar said he did loads of his, so me, you, misfit, JeStar, and then someone else, maveric, comic...somebody...

It seemed like everyone said they would be doing most of theirs over this weekend...Maybe previews will start popping up.

I love doing that stuff, I open every movie I do now with some alpha stuff and fbf motion, I'll turn the auto low off, it's just I get scared it will mess up all the sound like last time, even though I streamed it.....

With streamed music, the music will stay smooth the whole way (in my experience) but if the animation is intense, it will get extra choppy and skip frames to keep up with the music. That's one of the advantages of using a loop like Krinkles does. So setting it to automatic low quality isn't a bad idea.

Boooooo, what ya cooking?

Don't know yet! We meet and find out the ingredient we have to base our recipes around, and have one hour to find a recipe and buy all the ingredients, then 2 hours to cook it. A panel of judges will rate each team's meal at the end.

*This could be the last post, we'll be starting soon*

It is cool, because you can see how simple line 1 was ok, then he get's more and more pro, I can't wait for simple line 8. The houses are really sweet, and the car goes vrrmmm. The aeroplane is really cool, that blood just pops out I love that bit.

I think BBQ let down simple line 7, no where near as good as the rest, pretty plain and not really smooth or graphic smooth.

Well, I actually liked API's submission the least. BBQ was pretty plain, but the opening character on the piano and that pig were both hilarious. He could've done better, though, you're right. A Simple Line 8 will be a gorgeous beast.

Yeah, I don't think I'm that good either yet to do something like that, it's really awesome though because it's like 3 cool styles in one =D

=D I hope those forums get popular!

I meant I agree, but I dunno if anyone would do that, but I agree. Not no one would do that. Bleh

haha, it is pretty unlikely. Nobody else is talking...

3 seconds of hard action, that took ages, I had to make the quality auto low for that, change the quality to low at the preloader, does it lag too much?
I add loads of lowe alphas and stuff over the top, reckon I should do more stuff like that?

it runs very smooth for me, little or no lag at all. That low alpha stuff was beautiful, you should see if you kind find other ways to use it. Man, it was cool...

Hey, maybe I could try some of that with my explosion! Hmm....I have to stop working in about 5 minutes, I'm in a cooking competition >.<

Yeah, Oro is really smooth and I love his stuff, they're just a little empty, Tox is all full up and awesome and all of it is style, TFC is just plain cool and got skillz.

Yeah it's not hard to do some of the stuff Tox does, like circles and lines, but it's just something about it when he does it, it's really smooth and high quality.

*agreement about Tox* I like Being able to see Oro get better through each of his animations, it's an inspiration. I think the best part of his animation from Simple line 7 was either the houses being created n the beginning, or the stick at the end...both fit very well with the musics.

I love it even more. I really like the water flinging back to the last F, that was skill.

<3 I lied about it having smoke in it, now that I look back. I like watching the little chunks of rock get blown out of the big one...but it's hard to see. I'll get better at timing with practice =)

Don't think anyone would wanna do that, but yeah I guess, some people from here could just organise them selves into another group maybe if they want to.

Fair enough, it was just a thought.

Yeah, I gonna redo it from the blob jumping out from the box, or the whole thing, I wanna keep the song because it's a challenge.

The opening bit is awesome, I'd be excited if you could top it!

At 4/4/05 04:14 PM, -snare- wrote:

I know, everyone loves TFC and it's obvious why because it is awesome, but I think Tox has a lot more skill in his entry, I wanna do random stuff like that, but it's hard because there so original ideas and simple, with really good animation. It's hard not to copy things like that.

TFC doesn't do too many explosions or water effects, but he's awesome at drawing those characters and movements FBF. He just has crazy talent for drawing people...Tox has some tecniques that can be copied just with a little patience. *loves them both*

<3 yeah can you upload the banner to somewhere because it don't show up on the forum anymore....

BANNER BANNER

Yup, I think it would work, we can try it, or if we can tell which 5 people should be together like because it's so obvious, then yeah.....

It might work out so that five authors voluntarily think they should be in the second animation =)

I might try sticking some stuff together, -Indiscrimination- Went really well, and I watched it, it's not that good and I've got a lot better, so I'm gonna start doing adventorous stuff XD

Awesome, man! Can't wait to see it =D

Yeah, they are, I was gonna do something like that, or another fight, but like it would be too much like that....I wanna do something like Toxicbomb, really cool music video, he manages too have loads of still images or slow stuff and blank screens and it still is awesome. It's awesome.

Yup, I was watching some more simple line, and his stuff is definitely a highlight. So much glory... In a simple line 7, he does some amazing stuff with all the elements of FBF: Explosions (when that stick figure takes off, when rocks get hit by that line..), Goop (the opening sequence and when the buildings shoot at the clouds), and Smoke (when the stick figure takes off, when the cloud is DEFEATED, when the rocket is falling to the earth.

I kind of tried to use those three things in the banner for our forums, actually. Anyway, he has awesome style, I agree!

We could open the votes to everyone, but make it so they write the order in which they think the best are, 1-10, and then we onl count the votes from people who I know are being serious, 1 is good, 10 is not, and then the top 5 lowest are first group, rest second.

If we make them rank every movie, then less people will vote....but wait, they SHOULD be watching every movie before they vote! So, yes, I agree...they should rank each film. We'll get serious voters, then. I'm happy with this.

Yeah it sucks, I was watching artificial high 3 again, I'm like gona try less of the crappy backgrounds and more of the cool fbf.

I've been watching Synj vs Horrid over and over. Pausing and going through frame by frame. I've figure out his secrets....He has some explosions that I'd love to try to emulate. They're so...so beautiful...

I'm on another forum, Knoxs one, maybe, or we could have like votes on NG, votes there, votes everywhere?

I guess if we got votes from all voer, we'd get a more well-rounded opinion on the flashes. That might be the way to go.. People one Knox's forum use newgrounds too, yeah? As long as the people who vote are people who visit newgrounds, it would be a good way to figure out which animations would do well.

At 4/4/05 01:59 PM, -snare- wrote:

Meh, I'm gonna add loads of stuff aswell, or start again, I got inspiration now

Cool. It's impressive stuff, like your fbf always is, but it isn't too cohesive yet. Can't wait to see your inspiration =)

Lol, yeah, We gould have 100x400 each, and then slide the buttons over the top?

We could do parts from our movie or like a whole proper character or something of ourself personal thing show off, and then the buttons slide over so the intro is the menu aswell just without the buttons?

That is a wicked cool idea, If I understand correctly! So we could have our little introanimations play, one at a time, across the page, maybe just 4 or 5 seconds each, and maybe loops or has some sort of ending...And when the viewer watches a movie and goes back to the main menu, we can skip the one-at-a-time part and have them all ready to play.

I'm going to try to figure out what I could do for mine (and work some more on the actual animation)...I have until about 5pm to work.

Yeah, who should we get to vote?

We could open it up to anyone on the forums? Or we could have each author cast 3 votes (voting for yourself not allowed)? I'm not sure...

At 4/4/05 10:49 AM, -snare- wrote: http://www.zippyvideos.com/37753093148255.html

Update, and should we do a joint intro?

Nice update, that is some smooth tank action. I am in favor of the joint intro idea if we can actually pull it together...it would be cool, just each make a little movie clip of our characters running across or something, so we see all the styles right away...You could handle the NG Tank, snare =D

The people so far is me, Z, Misfit definately, there are enough more people to have a second group aswell, we could have a vote for each group...

The vote seems like a good idea to me.

Then you live with a bunch of pricks. You've put up fruit, you've been talking to them, and they wont forgive you for one measely extended alarm.

Damn straight. Joking aside, somebody on my hall anonymously put up little signs on the hall doors saying "Could everyone PLEASE remember to turn off their alarms in the morning?!" And others wrote little "yes PLEASE" and "Hell yes" messages underneath. They stayed up for a long, awkward month.

Once I got woken up after a few hours sleep because my brother never turned off his alarm. I never got annoyed with him, I just asked him to make sure he turns it off before leaving to work.

Assertiveness > agressiveness. When will people learn ? :'(

*inspired*
I'm going to tell them that my forum buddies forgave me, so so should they!

You make it sound like they put fruit baskets in your crapper.

Actually, I'm the only one who does that. I once left my alarm on all the way through breakfast, and I'm trying to heal things between myself and the other members of the hall. I also sometimes nail plaques with religious sayings (generally "Forgive thy Neighbor") onto their doors.

Still, nobody's talking to me.

Like every other student on my hall. I have the fortune to be on the "Gamer's Hall," meaning that the smells are especially ripe and juicy. I drink the sweet scent like honey.

I might be interested in doing something with your script, but if we work together, we might need to go back and edit the hell out of your script...unless it's 57 pages of genius. When you get back on AIM, my sn is Zombied Lincoln

Yes - I'm going to tell them. It will give them the childhood trauma that will make all their posts on the BBS full of depth and dark humor!

Don't let classes slow you down! Instead of listening to the teachers, doodle concepts for your flash. Ask to go to the bathroom 30 minutes before school ends, and run home to animate. if you're lucky eonugh to have any class that uses computer, that's flash time aplenty. And never do homework.

I left the original background in, so you can see what i'm doing. I think it's called rotoscoping, where you draw over frames of a live action film. Anyways, i hope you like it when it's done.

http://www.dynamicmediastudios.com/Test/jump.JPG

*excitement*

I've wanted to try rotoscoping for a while....The shame of not having a completely hand-done animation is surpassed by the sweetness of a fluid, detailed flash. If you maintain the level of detail in that screenshot over the whole animation, it will be amazing!

Very smooth, man! The transition worked well, and that blob exploding was pretty satisfying.

I haven't made any progress on my animation today - I found out that a friend has a birthday tomorrow, so I'm spending all today making him a (piece of crap) animation. I'll get loads done tomorrow =D

*Hardly-known user with few posts and coming in late on this topic*

I won't blame you if you skip over me :)

I realized that most of the time when I wanted to say that something was "Cool," that something would be drugs. So now, to save time, I just call cool things drugs.

"Did you see the new Madness animation?"
"Hells yeah. It was drugs!"

"She did that to you for free? That's freaking drugs!"
