I concur. I am also using the V-Cam in my Video. It is a really useful tool that was created. I am very thankful for it. Stretching and making all the background to the size you want it was annoying =P

the what tool?

yeah, vcam always comes in handy here and there

left hook

Yo, here's a clip of my part for Pico Day. It's only 12 seconds, but it's going to be around 9 minutes long. But trust me when I say I've already done, much, MUCH more then this.

just the fact that it had the word madness in the url made me not want to click on it :\

I haven't seen one decent madness animation like..ever.

but anyways. it was interesting enough to keep me from exiting the window (not to be mean.)

But if you want to have any kind of chance in this contest, you're going to need some kind of storyline. Something to make it worthwhile, so if all else fails (graphics, action) the story might hook more viewers.

worried eyes: omfg

I've been asked to clarify whether or not you can use copyrighted music in your Pico Day submissions...

I would say that if you have already done it and your entire movie is animated to go with a song, then there isn't much you can do at this point...

However, I STRONGLY ADVISE using music from the Audio Portal or another source that has given you permission. I really, really, really, do hate it when people use copyrighted music in their Flash and your submission will be much more favored if you make use of music from the Audio Portal or a friend or relative (or yourself). I probably should have stated this clearly from the beginning to avoid anyone from going down the wrong path, but if you still have an option, definitely avoid using copyrighted music.

Aha! Just call me wormtongue! Thats right i is the one controlling the shots around here

hmm.

Some of my music is audio portal. Some of it is the original pico music (which I assume wouldn't be a problem)

One part uses a snippet from an old 80's band that no one knows about because I couldn't find any audio portal stuff to fit : /

Also the ending credits use a short loop that I've had on my computer for ages... not sure if it's copyrighted or not.

but it's mostly AP. so it should be ok..

awww yeah... the puppetmaster

lol, looks like no-one noticed the small print. I use V-cam aswell, but easier than tweening everything. Makes the animation look more professional I think. I'll post some more screenies later, only 10 days left! better finish my hidden scene.

damn... i used SMALL portions of a song... and i dont think anyone will know what song it is ... and i used the song from the OST of pico's school (lol, ost)... just like some other people around... i know its wrong but im too far now...

it wouldnt be too correct, but you could make a new account OR use a friends' account to submit your movie...

if all of this fails you would have no choice but submit it on may 1st (by the way, no illegal or legal mexicans will go to work that day, and nobody here in mexico will buy american products that day... its just to proove to America that latin-american illegal inmigants are a BIG part of USA's economy :D)
