Hi thar :)
Welcome to the DANCE! collab. It's very easy. All you have to do is make a Movie Clip of somebody dancing, and I'll put all the dancing people in various alignments and stuff to Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'(but shortened down, as it's a very long song). It'll be a similar format to my last collab,'WALK!'. Sounds simple enough? OK, now for all the rules...

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

+No sprites (see Special Parts)

+ No sticks, Madness, clocks, locks, socks, rocks or cocks.

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

+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 dances I deem the best.

+Make sure the MC will loop properly.

Specs
+24 fps
+Background colour: Doesn't matter, as I'm only taking your MC.
+Flash 8 files.
+Stage: 600x250 pixels

Special Parts
These parts are parts I only want one of. If you want any part in this list, PM me. It will be 'first come, first served, if they are good enough'.

Sprite Dance: A dancing sprite.
Menu maker: Must have to do graphics but I can do AS. May be slightly edited to fit with preloader.
Custom Preloader: Something original. Must do graphics and AS.

Deadline
I would have said 3 weeks, but I'm off doing an animation course around that time. So I'll say Saturday April 18th 2009

Thanks,
Insanimation

...Original?
And now it's a position, it feels like more of a competition.

Well, I'm up for it. Let's see if I can think of anything dance-y first.

I may end up with no ideas, but I might as well put my name down

This sounds cool. Can I use actionscript to control the animation?

A bad analogy is like a leaky screwdriver.

I didn't expect you to make a new collab THAT fast! xD
Sounds nice, but I don't know if I can actually make a dancing animation...
If it's open to suggestions, maybe a special part that isn't particularly dancing might fit in nicely (like someone singing lipsyncing with the song?). Just saying ^^;
The sprite one has to be an original sprite?

Hey, guys! I'll make some dancin' animation in a little while, so count me in.
I think it would be fun to have someone headbanging. Should I make that?
I'm doing a sugardansen dance sequence, but I can make more than one.

Put more effort into it. We want a good score. (I like the eye, though.)

Something a bit more than a simple loading bar, y'know..

And now it's a position, it feels like more of a competition.

I'm sure you'll do fine. :)

Upload your SWF and FLA files to SpamTheWeb.

Sorry, but no. It always messes around with everything.

Faster than a speeding bullet!

Sounds nice, but I don't know if I can actually make a dancing animation...

They are pretty hard..

If it's open to suggestions, maybe a special part that isn't particularly dancing might fit in nicely (like someone singing lipsyncing with the song?). Just saying ^^;

I think that'd work. Can you sync it to one of the lines where it says "I don't feel like dancing!"

The sprite one has to be an original sprite?

Well, by sprite, I mean more like pixel art. Nothing from the internet..

Good news, Flash is backwards compatible!
That means Flash MX is fine =)

Well, I always thought that, but not rly sure of it. And as I see normally ppl saying in collabs things like "It HAS to be!", and as I dont have flash 8 I had no way to see if it could read MX files, or if it was just some detail/AS/tween/tool compatibility

Ever heard of a free trial?
Anyway, some features of Flash 8 aren't fully compatible with CS3, like the filters. I had a client tell me to convert a game to AS3 and not touch any of the graphics. Guess what, all the effects were gone when I saved the file, so i had to go back and use CS3's filters instead. (Basically, I took off the filters and put on my own. Then, it worked.)

Now, for the purposes of this collab, Flash 4 is even okay. You just gotta make a short animation that loops well. Good luck.
