Walk! [a Collab]

[Insanimation]

Hey,
Welcome to the walk collab, which is just a short collab, for fun. All you have to do is animate a walk cycle. Hard, but not impossible.

Specs!
550x400 pixels (default)
White BG (DON'T make you own)
Flash 8 files, please.
24 FPS

Rules!
+Create a character, and make him walk, in a MovieClip.

+ No sticks, sprites, madness, clocks, locks, socks, rocks or cocks.

+Try to keep it clean. it's only a walk cycle, no need to add any violence or nudity.

+You can animate any way you want. This character, which has to be original (by that, it doesn't have to be an original character, ie. it can be Solid Snake, but draw him in your own style), can walk, run, crawl, or move in anyway possible.

+Make as many pieces as you want.

+No sound. It will be set to music.

+No background.

+Put it in a MovieClip on the timeline.

+Put your names in all the symbols, for example, if you symbol was called "leg1", call it "INSANI_leg1"

+I have the right to turn down anything that is not good enough. Ha.

+Co-Authors will be determined by the walk cycles I deem the best.

Deadlines!
Starts today 21st February
Ends in 2 weeks, 7th March.

Here's an example, but it has a BG. Sorry.

Have fun!

trolling aside, i will participate in this magnificent display of architectural brilliance.

i'll make a part.. yeah..

[TVK]

Hmm, I made this a couple years ago, never finished it though. I could modify it a bit if you think it'd be useful to you

[AlienDonut]

seems easy enough i say im in what version of flash?

[Magical-Zorse]

Here's my walk cycle, it was for a game I never finished.

I really like it. Just get rid of the ground line, since it counts as background, and chuck me over the FLA!

As said in previous post, Flash 8.

Nice. Looks like it would've been a good game..Kinda like Castle Crashers.

Yeah, essentially, you can, as long as it doesn't completely take away from the walking bit..I mean, if its just a car, then no, but if it's some robot with wheels in some parts, but he still has to move his feet, then its cool. Maybe gimme an idea of what it'll look like, so I can agree before you go and finish it completely..

Sweet. Really well drawn! It's a tny bit slow, but that shouldn't really matter, hopefully...

[TVK]

Hmm, I just noticed CS4 can only save as CS4 or CS3, is there anyone with CS3 that could convert it to Flash 8 if I finish it?

You should practice walk cycles before leading collab out of it... I dont think your walk cycle looks like a walk cycle at all :0

OK, I'll try another one. That was just a quick example. Since it's a collab, the quality of my walk cycles shouldn't really matter. All that matters is my ability to assemble collabs, which I can do..

Ding Ding! LINKS!
Good walk cycle tutorial
Scouting for Girls - Keep on Walking This is the background track for the collab.
Mogly's Evolution of Walk Cycles The collab will probably look something like this, hopefully.

No need for the attitude princess, I was simply stating that if I was making a run cycle collab and i was the one with the worst run cycles, I'd find it difficult to really reject anyone.
Nobody is questioning your ability to run a collab, i just think that you should lead by example.

[Toast]

stomping the ground with your feet and waving your arms in the air makes you move at a constant rate. true fact.

[TVK]

Well, actually it does, but usually that constant rate is 0m/s : )

[Heater44]

Tis a true dismal fact...
Do you need a title page if so I can make one for you. Its the only thing im good at.

OK, sorry for getting a bit worked up there..Collabs can be risky business...

So, taking Luis's advice, I've made a new one. The other one really was pretty terrible..Better!

[monkey]

im in right?

[Toblorone]

Heres some thing i made in like 2 mins

Yeah, that'd be cool, but can you just show me some examples of your work first?

Yes.

Yeah, the burger one is pretty cool. If you can just remove the stickfigure and the background, and send it over to me..Thanks :)

[Insanimation]

If anyone could make a custom preloader, that'd be great too..

[Doomsday-One]

You called? =P

I'm more than happy to do one; any ideas?
If not, I'll probably go for a blurred running man (to fit in with the collab idea), being made less blurred as the movie loads.

Example of my work in my sig.

Oh, and I may work on a cycle too. =)

[horsenwelles]

I win

give me a prize

:3

[Lycidas]

Is there still room for another one? I wanna be in too! Come on!

Awesome! That's a pretty cool idea. That, or maybe that there's a walk loop, and he gradually gets closer to the other side of the screen as it loads further. If you knew how to code that, we wouldn't even need a loading bar, as that would do..

Oh, and I may work on a cycle too. =)

Sweet!

That's actually pretty cool. Send me the FLA, please.

Course there's room. We need as many people as we can get. Get cracking!

As I said, we need lots of people to make this collab good, so if you can think of anyone who might like to do a part, either PM them yourself, or tell me and I'll PM them..

[horsenwelles]

[fruitypeebils]
