I'm very sorry for the double post, but urgent announcement!

If many of you are CS users such as Flash CS 4, CS 5.5, or CS 6, I have now finalized my Flash CS 6 so I can now accept CS fla files! No need to export into a FLV or SWF, just give me the fla! ^^

Can i just say, with out trying to sound like an ass or some kinda hot shot animator. Its more like constructive criticism. I think you could do a lot better on this. Really there is no animation going on, only tweening. The sprites enter and leave with out changing poses. I can't imagine this took you no more then a half hour if that. The sprites feel a bit small as well and everything moves far to slowly.

If your going to allow stick figures and sprites they should be of the highest quality since they are easier to make i think. If your part only took you an hour or two to make (unless its actually very funny) you more then likely could improve the quality on your movie ten fold. I understand getting excited about being in a collab and wanting to make many parts and get the collab done as soon as possible. But if we truly want this collab to do well we really REALLY need to work on its quality. I haven't participated in to many collabs. The last one i did was marios castle collab. It was run by Travis. And though at times he could come off a little mean in his selection process he was very keen on only accepting high quality parts. And in doing so the collab did very well when it was released. I think you the leader of this collab should hold a high standard for parts, specially since the concept is very simple. Again im not trying to sound like a jerk here, just put in a lot more effort in your pieces so we can make this collab the best it can be. Think outside the box. The dot doesn't need to stay in one place the whole movie, or even be on the screen just as long as it starts and ends there. Think of what exactly the dot can be, a cork plugging something, some kinda portal, and so on. If we flood this collab full of sprites fighting the dot or sticks cart wheeling around it i am sure it will not do so well. But if we have some genuine ideas in there full of creativity and hard work this collab could have a good chance of getting on the front page. Just saying...

Please allow me to reply. I have a huge script with the dot and reading your critisiscm most of it is in the storyboard. That was just to show that i am working. I do not wish to reveal my script as it will spoil it. But i do thank you for your concern about this collab. I want it to be great, too.

so was that a demo of what your planning on doing or part of the real thing?

Part of the real thing. (About 1/128 of it). It was just to show that i wasn't "dead."

Well either way, the guy does have a point. I don't wanna sound harsh, but I do want this collaboration of high standard and quality. So please, DO your hardest. I don't want any crappy parts with mostly tweens or such.

Hey, if you guys have a part that is of 3-5 seconds long, but is unfinished, please turn in what you have so far for the teaser that will be appearing on Newgrounds. If you don't have a long enough shot, don't worry! I will be creating 1 or 2 more teasers for you guys to be able to be in and get the people around the world excited! ^^

Uh, mine's is more. But that is a REALLY great idea. It'll make the collab original!

Im curious to see what else you have on your movie. Maybe everyone post where they are at in their parts.

I meant show progress not where they live

lol Sorry. I read it the wrong way. xD Well, people that I have so far are making some pretty short parts like Doors 3. There are people from TheSpritas and Maplemation that make some pretty lengthy parts, which is a good thing for the collab since I'm thinking of splitting it into 3 parts, one with a different music.

I'm not really a spriter, but I wanted to be in.

@plaguemover

If you're talking about the guides, yes you can. :P

@Alphaman

Not quite up to par and you broke several rules as well.

1. No immediate BG. You must transition.
2. You have to exit as well.

I have no idea what your saying (Not the I did everything type of way.)

You do realize that you don't have to use sprites if you don't want to, right?

Anyways, update coming by tommorow!

Can you post a list of all the members that have been confirmed for this collab? How many people do you have that are doing this collab?

Sorry 4 double posting guys, but here's my update! I have to get the sfx straightned out and add a few, but other than that tell me what you think. It's about 1/5 or 1/4 of it.

It's better, though I'm still unsure if the whole animation is still in polishing because it's not quite there. Like, I'd have it more impactful and more speed instead of steady and smooth mostly. It's good though. ^^

And yeah, we have a comfirmed amount of over 240 people in the collaboration. :O

Well you can, but I'm gonna have to change it back to 24 FPS because that is the compiling FPS. I'd recommend double framing your part so that it wouldn't look too fast in 24 FPS when you set it lower when you are working.

Any chance for a an aspiring animator to still join? :D

Not too sure what you mean. o.O

@Gay-Penguin

You do know that it doesn't have to be stick figures. But because that's what you want to animate, smoothen it out.
