New flash production company

[greatwh1teshark]

Recently I've started putting together a team to start a new flash production team here on NG. I've got some, but I'm currently trying to recruit members. I'm after voice actors, sound guys, animators and writers, there are many positions available, all you've got to do is get in contact and give me a brief history of your flash projects, together we can make flash history.

[PBass]

Payed positions?

(More efficient when in person)

It sounds interesting but theres just 5 things

1. cant go to NYC or Boston to work
2. What will you primarily be doing ?
3. do you already have any ideas ?
4. im a good scripter and animator but ive never had any ideas on things to do
5. when are you going to start ' deving' ?
6. is there really going to be enough income to support an office ?

[UknownXL]

You never actually answered the source of income?

First this company is going to be done on NG, while I generate the cash flow to get the office, but for the time being everything will be done here.

If your thinking about earning most of your money through flash, im sorry, but i doubt you'll get even remotely enough. Flash is really only good if you want to get a couple of bucks, and its unlikely that youll be able to make money to continue paying for your office, employees/workmates, etc. Good luck anyways.

That is where your sadly mistakened

my uncle gets around $2000 from flash every month , and hes a one man show
As long as your flash is breathtakingly good you can make a living off it
i earn around $400 a month from flash freelance stuff.
Also if you put your game/movie on at least 20 sites you can be surprised by the total income

Actually, if you know what you're doing, flash could get you a shitload of bucks! A game made in one week by a guy I know has been offered over 6000$!! (it's not released yet) Hell knows how much ad money it's going to make as well. And here it a list of some past sponsorship prices.

Sponsors pay big, real big.

You and hdxmike are both correct, sponsors pay quite a bit ($6000+), but when you think about it, its not very much for a company. A good game/movie will usually take quite a few weeks. If say you did recieve $6000 from your last game and you were running a production, that money would quickly disappear. During the months/weeks when you develop more flash, you have to pay for your employees, office, computer equipment/repair, etc. Im sure that the money would quickly disappear, and if one of your games do not recieve sponsorship thats another month without that $6000. Anyways yeah. ;D

$6000 isnt bad for an informal company

A good game/movie will usually take quite a few weeks.

More like months

If say you did recieve $6000 from your last game and you were running a production, that money would quickly disappear.

How ?

During the months/weeks when you develop more flash, you have to pay for your employees, office, computer equipment/repair, etc.

comp equip/repair ----- we have our own obviously and who says we break or comps on a monthly basis
Office -----------------------like he said we would work online until we had sufficent funds
employees --------------- 2k a month would be pretty damn good i think for such a small company

and if one of your games do not recieve sponsorship

ad revenue ?

thats another month without that $6000.

who says we need 6k a month to live ?

[bocodamondo]

why evreyone say i draw in paint ?!!!!!!!!!!!!

here a macromedia flash 8 pic!!!

i draw it *in 5 minutes!!!

[toontown1]

I can do art! lolololololol..... let me in?

[Toast]

great marketting idea. come to newgrounds to look for people for your team, and limit your choice to people who live in boston or new york. why don't you just advertise in your own area instead of newgrounds? oh yea i remember why, because you're not gonna get a flash company with an office when you're 17

[ImpendingRiot]

YO JAMROCK, IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT THIS IS THE MOST ADORABLE THREAD OF ALL TIME. ALL TIME.
