No, that's fine.

No, that's fine.

I've only succeeded in putting an ad up one time. I just tried it and it screwed up my animation. I put another file without the ad. One day someone needs to explain to me how those things work.

wow so many animations!!! and so much variety of styles ! its so awesome

It is terribly unfinished as I bit off much more than I could chew. I plan on finishing this very soon, but for now, it will have to do in its current state.

Laughed. GJ

Here it is...I'm a little late to the game because Flash kept crashing on me, and Google Chrome kept crashing on me when I was trying to upload.

My god. And I was wondering if we would get 32. The cuts are going to be brutal this year, I'm kind of worried.

I shall try to watch all of them.

Man i'm excited :D Good luck to everyone!

NATA think you can copy paste all the entries that made it in in one post ?

Yeah, that's a verifiable crapload. I guess the tournament's gained its fair share of popularity in the past few years. Heck, a few more entries and they could've allowed for a bracket of 64.

Frick, I'm nervous mine's gonna get cut.

If you get cut, I will literally cut myself.

Oh, and in response to my personal faves...

Im so annoyed.. i had this week to work my ass off and finish everything... and then a shit storm happened and now i don't even have a computer... I am at school using the school computers.... :( I can't even watch submissions cause school blocks that :(

Brilliant entries so far really enjoying looking through them all, just one question. I have looked through the NATA 2012 guidlines but can't see anywhere the rules on copyright music submission. ?

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/595314 heres my entry, hope everyone enjoys it.

p.s. worried about the music, I have looked everywhere but can't find anything on newgrounds about using copyright music ?

i dont where have you looked. But in the first post there is clear rule point.

* Absolutely NO copyright material is allowed without permission. If you use copyrighted music or other material in your animation, you MUST get the permission of the original creator of that material.

That was Hilarious! I can't wait to see that one finished.
The tournaments off to a great start, there are so many entries! I thought we'd barely get 32!
Well, time to go and watch them all now.

i hope i at least make it in xD

Judgement day! There has really been some great animators and storytellers in this contest, I would hate to have to cut some of them away if I were judge. Last year, I only learned about TOFA during some of the final rounds, but it's been a great expirience to follow it from the very start this time.

On behalf of me and myself, I just want to say thanks to all those who've entered, for all the amazing stories that I've gotten the chance to witness :)

I really liked your animation :D

Hmmm, given what I've seen out of the 53 entries, I might not make it. Oh well...

WTF so many entries in one day? I think this hour will be long.

Anyways, good luck for everyone, too bad I am a lazy ass and I've animated like ONE scene...Oh well

Well, thank you! I feel so bad that it is so unfinished, but I've put so much time and energy into it (I have voices, sound effects and music all figured out, but didn't have time to put those in for the entry round) that it would be a real waste not to complete it. I'm gonna take a few days off as a little break for myself, though.

Catoblepas, I really liked your entry. I love weird shit like that. I enjoy your style a lot, and your colors are always awesome (I remember seeing your Goatse entry a few years back).

CatFat, I hope you finish yours, man! It looks incredible so far. I'm glad you decided to upload into into the dumping grounds after all, because I feel you've got a pretty developed story (and it's easy to see that your artwork and animation are superb as well).

So many entries.. lots of GREAT ones at that. The judges are going to each have to set aside a couple hours to get through them!

Results for the open round will be posted once all judges have their votes in. We've received one judge, will likely have 3 more by tonight. Not sure about the 5th.

The deadline for judging is Sunday at 10 PM Eastern Time

awesome : ) i was going to ask the same thing hahaha

So Tom accidently deleted my entry, because he didn't see my message that I gave him later telling him that I got permission for the music and not to delete it.
So I guess I'll resubmit it...
Can you please not mark me down for late submission?

Ok I resubmitted it...please enter me back into the compettion:

Well, this is what it would have looked like if I submitted it by the deadline: Glorified storyboard. It was the right thing to drop out.

Well now I know for next year not to overestimate my time. 30 seconds is much easier to finish than 2 minutes.
I'll finish it after I take this test I'm studying for in July. So, it'll get up eventually.

When you are entered into the contest, I save a copy of every file and re-host it on the NATA Open Round page. Your entry is safe.
