All ages and skill levels are welcome to participate. However; I will be expecting each person to do their best and be receptive to constructive criticism given by myself and the other artists in the collab. This is meant to be a collaboration with an emphasis on communication between the artists, if I or someone else feels that your piece isn’t up to snuff you will hear about it and be expected to improve it. You are also expected to give constructive criticism about the other pieces. Keep it constructive; “that sucks, redo it,” is unhelpful and inflammatory. Try to be positive when regarding other peoples pieces that you feel need improvement. Those unwilling or unable to give and receive criticism will be dropped. No whining and no complaining about it.

Frames per second: 30
Background color: white (#FFFFFF)
please create a background as it relates to your piece.
Stage size: 600 x 300 pixels.

Name all symbols uniquely, using your username or an abbreviation of your username. Example: “BmK – Ball 01”

Limited colors: All pieces must be in grey scale with one other color and all of that colors values (the dark/light slider in the color mixer). Try to be creative in your color scheme.

Sounds: no imported sounds allowed

Nudity is allowed in an artistic manner only, keep it PG-13.

Gimmick characters, video game characters and other unoriginal characters are not allowed.
Stick figures are not allowed.

Menus and credits will be designed by me.
Expect to make a 200 x 200 image for your profile page.

Most importantly; have fun. =)

The first one played it fine for me.
Hehe, Luis hates literal music videos, goes straight for the instrumentals. That being said, I will do the same for the later ones if I come up with something good. Ill post within a couple days if I decide to join. Got quite a bit of uni stuff to do but I should not let it stop me.

Also, I really like the idea for this. I think restriction breeds creativity so am all in favour of the limited colours.

Excellent, I'll put you down for both parts. =)

I really wanted to put my best foot forward with this so I thought I'd go all out with the music sample flash thing. Thanks.

Yeah, haha. Funny story... I uploaded it to .html and wrote the link, accidentally, as a .htm. I thought that I had royally fucked up and made the second post before I realized that, as I owned the site, I could just change the .html to a .htm without any problems. =P

I'd be happy to have you as any part, if you can make time for it. =D

[Starogre]

30 fps seems like a lot, 24 fps is usually for animation isn't it?

because he wanted me to bump

[Mogly]

I really wanna do a part. I'll dload the song and have a few razzes on it and decide.

[mr-womble]

id love to take parts 8 and 9, but ive been in loads of collabs and not got credit for any of them and the only thing on my account is from like 2 years ago so i dont wana join another collab where i dont get credit for it.

[mr-womble]

i tried downloading the song, but i dont have flash 8 so i couldnt open the file, do u have MSN? or could you make the parts downloadable as an mp3 or anything that i can open, thanks.

They're both multiples of 3. =)
If someones doing FBF they can animate by twos.

Luis has 8 and 9 already.

If you're talking about co-author, I would love to be able to co-author everyone who takes part, but it is only possible to co-author 4 people. When it does get down to it, I will be choosing the co-authors based on who I feel put in the best effort and participated the most. Everyone will get their own profile page and can have a link to their website, however.

Oh! Yeah, there's no reason I should have it saved as 8. I will correct that. Thanks for pointing it out.

Can do. I think I'd like to keep it at two parts per customer right now. =)
I'm uploading the library as Flash 5 now. Shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. The link will be the same as before.

[Plastic-Phantom]

I've got nothing but time, so I'll take a shot at 5 and 7.

[AdamJack]

The parts are going quickly so I'll choose one now (before any short ones are taken).
Can I have Part 11 please :)

[mr-womble]

The download should be compatable with Flash 5 + now, but if you're worried about it I can certainly e-mail you parts 5 and 7. Hang tight.

[Bunker-Hill-Studios]

[ConAir]

I'll have time to work on this this weekend - I'll take parts 12 and 13 if no one else has them.
