Famous Last Words Colab

[Tygerman]

Hello newgrounds

I have decided to create the "Famous Last Words" colab. In this colab will be a bunch of clips based around a list of famous last words found below.

Here's the scoop, you will choose one of the famous last words lines found in the list below and create a short, funny movie based around the line.

I would prefer to make the colab have one movie per famous last words line but we'll see how it goes.

Anyone can submit but keep in mind, not everyone will be chosen. I will be using the best of what I get so make it good.

Also, you can make as many as you want but obviously the quality will be better if you focus on one.

Here are some rules:

-It must be funny/amusing etc.
-They should be approximately 30 seconds long (give or take about 10 seconds)
-They MUST include the EXACT line that you've chosen from the famous last words list
-A character MUST die immediately after the line has been said
-No sprites, stick figure movies etc. Basically, the best quality movies will be more likely to get in so put some effort into the art.

Techno Details:

(you may notice some similarities to the sf colab guidelines, that's cuz they were really good suggestions so why wouldn't I follow their lead)
-500x400 stage and 24 FPS
-Use Flash 9 and if there is any actionscript (which I recommend you not use) make sure it's ActionScript 3.0
-put your movie inside a single movie clip on the main timeline.
-make your symbol names "username_symbol" so that there are no conflictions with other symbols that might be named the same

Submitting:

-name the file "username_movietitle.fla"
-send the whole .fla file to tyger_man_006(at)hotmail(dot)com
Don't send me questions with this e-mail, they will be ignored. Please post Any questions them in this thread I will try to answer as many as I can.
Deadline for submissions will be July 1st so you have almost exactly a month to do these. This deadline may change under certain circumstances but this is very unlikely. Do not expect this!

And of course, have fun!

Don't worry it's fireproof

what does this button do

He's probably just hibernating

You sure the power is off?

oh come on, What are the chances that'll happen

pull the pin and count to what?

It's ok, I've seen this done on TV

These are the good kind of berries right?

rat poison only kills rats

I'll get your toast out

I think it's strong enough for both of us

Does this taste weird to you?

Hey, that's not a violin

That's weird...

There's a duck?

aw shit

Pffft. I bet I can.

Relax, what could possibly go wrong

Do you think this peice was important?

[WhoknowsmeaUdiO]

Put this line in that list: "Windows did'nt let me delete it!"
From here.

[Tygerman]

Hmm, I guess I should have said before:

I won't be adding to that list, what's there is what is to be used. No suggestions please

[NukeTheWhales]

I'm actually interested, if it's alright with myself joining. My flashes are a little out dated, and I believe I have vastly improved, just haven't submitted anything in a while, ha ha.

If it's all good, I'd use "Pull the pin and count to what?"

thanks.

[swishcheese]

well i have an idea for the "he is probablly just hibernating", but i dont have my tablet yet so ill probablly wont be able to animate this with good quality. so if someone else or if you wanna animate this ill give you the idea. just PM me.

[TripleDK]

This actually seems like a funny idea for a collab, and if I come up with a good idea, I will probably try to join. Btw, when it says "Use Flash 9..." don't you mean "I got Flash 9, so you can use any Flash version except for Flash 10" ?

Lol yes, I did mean that.

And you don't have to tell me what it is you're doing. Anyone can do any of them. I would like to know whether or not people are doing one so I know this colab isn't dying. But not neccessarily what you're doing.

Isn't there a chance you'll end up with loads of people all doing the same couple of lines? :/

[CrypticPoptart]

Mmm, I'll join I suppose. Might have to drop out if school gets any tougher. Anyway, if we're picking yet I'll probably want 'It's ok, I've seen this done on TV' or 'pull the pin and count to what?' If you need examples I'll post a link to a part I did for another collab.

[vylent]

Im Tempted to join

[Cambo]

i'll snag "i'll get your toast out" if that's okay

This is definately a possibility, but I'm willing to take that risk because if someone really good comes in and wants to do a specific line but they see it's already taken then I lose that person.

If all else fails then I'll get a bunch of submissions doing the same lines which may not be a bad thing. We'll just have to see.

It might, I know the conversion from 9 to 8 doesn't work but that may only be when using actionscript in the movie. And it may not be a problem from CS4 to CS3

If I'm not mistaken I believe there is a way to export your work in a lower version of flash. If this exists and you do this just make sure that the movie still works and tell me to do this when you submit.

While I only own Flash 8, I know you can "Save As..." and then save as Flash MX 2004 document. I suspect you can do the same with CS3/4 and "Save As..." a Flash 8 Document or a Flash CS3 Document

[max15946]

ill take: "what does this button do?"

[JonBro]

I have a feeling this is a collab I'll want to join.

I'll take the I'll take the toast.

[JonBro]

Man, it looks like someone got that one.

Maybe "I think it's strong enough for both of us" then.

That doesn't matter, as I've said before, don't worry if someone has taken one already. I'm glad that you're still joining but I want to make this very clear:

You can pick a line that someone else has already picked

I don't mind if I get multiple movies with the same line. It may happen that there will be multiple versions of the same line within the colab.

Plus, I'm hoping the competition will help people try even harder to make a quality movie.

The only thing I don't want is if you see like 5 people having chosen a line, it would probably increase your chances if you choose one that has not been picked (which may be why you changed the line you chose in which case great :) )

But just for people who may think that once all the lines are chosen they can't join: that is notthe case

[Moontouched-Moogle]

Heh, that sounds fun. If I can get Flash CS4 to work properly (the timeline's been acting screwy) I'll do one for "What are the chances of that happening?"

Also, are you limited to one quote, or can you do more that one? If you can do multiple shorts, I'd also like to give "Ah shit." a try.

[vylent]

Well i think I can save it as a CS3 file so ill do
" Hey, that's not a violin "

[sasukekiller]

can i do "relax what could possibly go wrong?" I have gotten better in flash. like vastly. So im not as sucky no more.

[ForNoReason]

This sounds like a badass idea! I am here to offer my help as a voice actor if so needed! Check out my audio for demos and the like.

You can do as many quotes as you want. Although it can only be one quote per movie. Like, you can't have two quotes in the same movie.

[Insanimation]

If I can find a voice actor quickly, I'll do "Don't worry, it's fireproof!". However, I think I'll add a bit of a twist.

[Imacow]

I'll probably be whipping something up for "Pull the pin and count to what?".

[evan210]

I'm in. I'll have to finish the power of 3 thing, but yeah...

Not to discourage you or anything but this is due July 1st annnd the power of 3 thing is in 3 months. Not that you can't do both I suppose :P

[Tygerman]

shameless bump

You know just to make sure people can see it exists

(please don't hurt me :P )

[Dynaro]

I'll give the 'Elephant' quote a spin.

[Insanimation]

I did find a voice actor, the great ForNoReason. This is what I have so far. However, I'm not sure how to end it.

Here is a list of options. Please say which one you'd prefer:
+He puts on the cloth and gets burnt.
+It sorts looks like a condom. He puts it on his dick and that burns off.
+He puts it on. It is fireproof. He stands in the fire for a few secoonds. Suddenly, some random guy jumps in and stabs him.
