Flash Battles:
Round 1
Round 2

It's been many years since I've last seen one of these...

Good time for participants. This forum needs more activity.

How This Works:

There will be no groups, tournaments, or any mandatory battles. This is for those who have the time to participate and want a little practice or for those who want to test their flash abilities against other animators. You MUST have flash to participate.

Basically, you leave a post with any given topic (such as Alphabetical, Stick Figure, Parody, etc.) and how much time you wish to work on it. From there another artist will respond and state whether they accept the challenge. You arrange a deadline (like 30 minutes, 3 hours, 24 hours, etc.) and expected to post your flash within 15 minutes of the given time.

Just have fun and enjoy yourselfs. Please keep flaming and spam to a minimum and respect eachothers work. If you have any questions or seek any feedback regarding your flash, please, feel free to ask.

Anyone is welcome to join.

This thread will only be for fun; hence the title "freestyle". No competitions will be held and no prizes will be given. (This had been a major flaw of the previous threads).

Hosts:
Deviantart
Mega-SWF
Imageshack
SWF Upload

Knock yourselves out.

I forgot to add:
Once your flash movies have been posted, other posters will vote among the competing flash movies with a score of 1-5 (1/5,2/5,3/5,4/5,5/5) within 30 minutes after the deadline. The flash with the highest score will be the winner.

Just tally up the points (x) from [(x)/5].

I'll be coming back to this thread after some people post some challenges. This could be a lot of fun.

Would be nice if someone could construct a 'theme generator'. The origional one lost its domain.
Anyways, I'll challenge someone later yoday. Just to get this started.

Yeah totally, just need to get more support here. Wouldn't think this could get much done with only a few animators here.
Then again, im up for a challenge.

IMO, An easy way to keep track or accept challenges could be with the new PM system and news pages. Since before I remember people using things like MSN/AIM which can still be quite helpful but shouldn't be needed as much anymore. Lets see this get started.

Altough If you are willing to start that 30 min stuff, I sure could give it a try (: Just set up a theme.

If you are talking to me, then i'm game.

Also yes, a third party choice of a topic would be good, as long as it isn't too...eccentric.

And by eccentric i mean unfunny and that jazz.

You know what would be 'neat' is to have a simple storyline and just base each of our things on the perspective of the guy. So like the topic is something like crazed guy goes to the gun shop to buy a gun. and so like in your version of it youd tell it from the story of the guy buying the gun and maybe in my version i tell it from the point of view of the shopkeep. And so as a set, itd be like a nice collection of the same story being told from both of the parties involved. I dunno im just thinking out loud

awesome, maybe it could be between an inanimate object and some sort of animal or human.
Example: guy watches tv and says how boring it is and then watches some dumb infomercial. then from the point of view from the TV remote, he is just sitting on the coffee table when the hand touches his buttons. then it transitions to the TV remote, in court, pointing to the doll where the hand touched him, and the hand yells "YOU LIAR!"
