^ Will do.

Are we still using 24 fps? (that's what I've been doing) I seem to remember there was a change, but that might have been on a different collab, because I can't find anything throughout this thread...

Done a little bit ^_^

Yes, you have a long way to go but it looks nice. ^_^ It's very smoothie and the pirate is very good. ;D
Keep up the good work and I'm seeing forward to your next preview! :3

I took out the "Sea sounds"
But i'd like to keep the ones I still have. I think they'll have to the movie without taking away from it.

My part is probably just over half done. Maybe even closer to 3/4s done. We'll see how much more I get.

Ok, the sounds you used here are PERFECT. ^_^ And it also looks really good. :3
Can't wait to see your next update. ;D

You heard me folks.

After optimising all my drawings I realised the drastic changes. It made the file size almsost a third smaller and made the lines look much smoother and easier on the eye. So OPTIMISE EVERYTING.

I'll explain what it is here:
It's simply smoothing lines out by removing jagged edges etc. So to do this, highlight all paint brush and fill work, Modify > Shape > Optimise.
Slide the bar about a third of the way up, this way it cleans it up without changing the previous image much at all.

Do it. Now, looks better, lowers file size.

Yes, good idea ^_^ It only has positive points so. :3 Please everybody, do this. :)
Btw, StickyWicky is also a leader of this Collab.! He helped me a lot and is very active so please, also listen to his ideas and suggestions. :)

--GENERAL POST!--

My Laptop will be fixed soon and I'm getting a backup of my FLA. menu file so everything will be ok again. And I'm sorry to say Goat-Man, matey, but you did a lot of this for nothing. <_< But we still gonna use the light effect on the letters so. ^_^ (And cuz of this you are CO-author for sure now xD)

That's all for now,

Keep updating your previews and be active, like always. ;D

AHHHRRR!

Possibly needless reminder.

Optimise. Read post on last page.

Alright, i'll give it a try. I've done it before to make it look neater, but i never knew it lowered file size. Cool!

Hm. That kinda sucks. But doesn't matter. Atleast the lettering wasn't a waste. Haha

I love it! BUT
1. optimisation
2. the speech-synch at the end? Is it just me or does it not fit perfectly...well, not very well.

I hate to say stuff like this, because it's so awesome but it must reach the front page or you shall all suffer an eternety in the flash obitiuaries.

I can't do it, I can't find the button! And what does it do, anyway?

Oh, it just happenms when I export it. It's not out of sunc in the fla.-file. So I can't do anything. When Bertn is exporting the full collab, it's not out of sync.

Hopefully...

Lol, just use google.

top toolbar - Modify > Shape > Optimise

Easy, just play around with it.

What's top toolbar?
What is optimising?
What is optimising good for?

At 2/12/08 02:39 PM, TommYVF wrote: What's top toolbar?

just go to the file, select all and press modify, then shape, then optimise at the top.

smoothing it out

Nice. Only problem I could see were
1) One guy doesn't look very piratey
2) The gun appears over the ship, when from persepctive, it seems like it should be below
3) The lip synching at the end

But, I guess looks aren't that important, the gun thing isn't that noticeable, and you already tallked about the synching.
So i think itis good to go then! Sweet!

Nice explosion BTW, it was really well done

Is part 15 still free?

If so, can I take it? But would you mind PMing me if Im not active - Im not amazing at comign back to threads ;D

I can post an animation sample if needed?

Hi mates!

Sorry for the ultra-long delay.
Yes, i already have 4 characters done, and i have a general idea, but i just don't feel like posting it yet...
I'm thinking of posting the characters (there are 5 of them) when the 5th one is done.

As for now, i'll go and finish my pirate ship! It's gonna be pretty big, and i'm probably going to need a camera... If Bertn doesn't mind, though!

Okay, i have to go pretty fast now, but i'll update you a few hours later!

Nope, I'm sorry . . But I think there will be a part open again soon cuz Powergames is a little bit mad. I hope I'll get an awnser of him soon, I'll PM you when the part is open or not. :)

restart it and use the brush tool.

why use the brush tool? haven't used that in years!
looks a bit messy. (at least whenever i try it)

Because when the pencil tool is used in a bad way, it looks horrible. I'm not sure, maybe it's the animation. Try and draw Chibi pirates or something, they're easier and look better.

Go for something funny too? Random endings = not funny.
