Here's one particular short that inspires me: The Backwater Gospel

It is 3d, but it has a very 2d style to it... it is hard to explain.

Two things...

1. I intend on posting here sooner or later. I can't draw or animate, but I love animation. So I am hoping to get a discussion going on different topics.

2. If you don't want this forum dead. Why not take a look over at the Writing Forum and you know, talk to some writers. Possibly animate some of their stuff?

I agree with what you're saying Jom, but at the same time, this site is designed for things to be looked at critically, and those who contribute to most of the sites traffic, are doing to in places like the portal, and new submissions. But it's true, kinda sad there isn't more of an active community on here. But with that being said I started a new thread asking for critique on a character design/idea, since we can't go on this one forever. Check it out!

Tigers are strong, proud species.
Your tiger is short and has trouble walking. Also, that background does not suit.

This guy graduated from my school. This was his thesis, there was another thesis that was also good but I currently do not remember the name. The thesis is called Transient.

I think the problem lies in the fact that people just come here to show off their works in progress or people that are new to animating in flash.
There's not a lot of discussing about flash animation on the web because the people that do post here know nothing about it because they're newbies and the people that know a thing or two about obscure animators don't come here and are actually working on shit.

Also, there's already the collab forums so it kind of makes sense that this board is stuck in this vicious circle of the same topics.
Not a lot you can do about that sadly enough.
Maybe if it was a board with some cool features where you can integrate swf files into your posts. Yah that'd be cool.
