The Thanksgiving Collab 2014-08-20 19:13:01


Hello, and welcome to the Thanksgiving Collab!

What is this about?
The Thanksgiving Collab is a big celebration/bitter commentary about Thanksgiving! There are two parts: The Shorts and the Parade. You can contribute to one or both parts!

For a short, you can joke about the dinner, complain about the evening before Black Friday, be totally confused because you don't celebrate the holiday, whatever you want. Get creative!

For the parade, you can draw a float to be featured in it! It can be static or animated. The below image will be the background for the parade. Here's the full size versions of it (PNG/FLA

Rules & Regulations
If you're going to take part, your submission must:
1) Be related in some way to Thanksgiving if you make a short. (floats get a free pass on this.)
2) Be of a reasonable quality.
3) Not be too vulgar or inappropriate (nothing too gory or sexual) We're aiming for a T Rating.
4) If you animate your float, keep it less than 10 seconds. If it's a looping animation, no more than 5 seconds.
5) I'd say not to make your short more than a one minute and 30 seconds. If you want an exception, run it by me.

Acceptable Submission Formats:
The collab will be made at 24 frames per second, at a resolution of 960x540.
Your short can be sent as an .fla, a .swf, or an .mp4 file.

Your float can be sent as an .fla, a .swf. You may also use a series of.png images, but they must have a transparent background in place of the provided one.

If you haven't been added to the project, add your file to the dump and PM me. If you have been added, add the file to the project's file share.

I know thanksgiving's a little while away, but consider it extra time to make a quality project. Do your best, and good luck!

If there are people actually looking into doing this collab I wouldn't mind making a little something.

Okay, I'll add you to the list.

So far, there hasn't been much in the way of contributors, so consider this collab dormant. If there's not at least five contributors by November 10th, consider it dead.

I havent animated much on newgrounds, But if your willing to accept me... Im in.

@m4x12 @mrpivotfigure @hipnikdragomir @spoonfulltits

I'm curious, has anyone made any progress with this? You don't have to have made any, I'd just like to keep track.

Hey, Sorry, I will make progress once I have my computer and tablet back up again. I am extremely busy at this moment and time my man. I almost forgot about this collab haha.

Five, including me., although you and @HipnikDragomir are the only ones who responded to my last post on this thread, so possibly not more than three...

If anyone needs a voice actor please let me know. Also, did you post the parade idea in the Art Forum? You might get more artists for the parade if you post a thread there. I think that is an excellent idea and should get a lot of people involved.

Ooh, excellent. I started a Thanksgiving short last year that I think would be too short to submit on its own, so I could finish that up now and have it be part of this collab! If you'll accept it, of course ;3

Response to The Thanksgiving Collab 2014-10-28 22:46:24


Heres my idea (lol)
dont judge meh! its a good idea! (JK, JK)

Are you suggesting splitting the parade section into a separate collab? The original idea was that events like the Macy's parade are a big part of Thanksgiving Celebration, so why not include it in this collab? However, splitting them might be a good option, it would eliminate the thanksgiving deadline, and I never intended the section to be completely thanksgiving related anyway...

Response to The Thanksgiving Collab 2014-11-01 23:06:36


How many people are in this collab so far (counting me, since I'll join)?

I wasn't saying spilt it. I was just suggesting you post the idea in the art forum as well so you can get more people to create pictures for the parade part.

I'll join. I'm gonna do both a float and a short, but could you show me an example of a float? I'm not very sure how to draw it properly (the viewpoint is kinda weird for the background).

Sorry I'm so late with this, and sorry about the confusion. I made a quick drawing which should hopefully clear things up.
