the only reason fulp is giving the challenge with such a high reward is because he knows it's impossible... especially since most animations now are 3D, and flash isn't 3D. sorry to burst everyone's bubble. but i do agree that if anyone could, it would be adam phillips.

Making an Oscar-nominatable flash doesn't sound too hard.

After developing the hard parts (plot, scripting, storyboarding, etc.) you could film it all in real-time, then trace each frame individually and use Adobe Illustrator's mesh tool to photorealistically render the frame. Then it's just a matter of importing the frames into, and running them together in flash, plus adding voiceovers and soundtracks.

It would look great, but it would have to be 24 fps, and it would take a team of 100 people 216 days to make a 30-minute film.

So really, all you need is the manpower, necessary supplies, and the time.

It's dependent on being around like minded individuals who feel the same passions as you do.

There will be a flash that will win an Oscar someday. Hopefully from Newgrounds.
To those who think its impossible, it will never be you.

The idea will really be the main part of the short film. Adam Philips is an artistic genius but he may not even come close just due to the "idea" aspect.

Also just as a last note, whoever DOES want to create a short animated film, that would mean the animation has to be in between around 30 to max 40 minutes in length.

I met the Walrus was 5 minutes, including titles and credits. The main problem with getting the Flash document into a nomination would be that you have to put it on film.

An Oscar nomination for a Flash Movie would be incredible, and possibly move the digital age farther along in the film world. That would be great!

you have no chance if you have never done flash before

yh the learning curve is pretty damn steep

see how that was 1 month and 1 day ago? LOLIRULE

oh??!?
whats that you say!!??????
oh.
ok then.
yes! this is a really good idea!
i think it gives a whole new edge to competitive flash submitting and stuff!
this way, the increase incompetetion will cause for better flash animations!
w00tness

I so fucking wanted on of those.

you like being rich...don't you...

what about an animated short
