There is no particular theme, just animate what you think would go well with the song and anyone can join; just remember if your part(s) aren't up to par, they'll be rejected. You may choose up to 3 parts at a time. No auditions, just say "I'll take *insert part here*" and get to work.

Any questions? Good, let's get rocking! I'm gonna take part 24 for a start.

im with you

[AniMetal]

I would do this but unfourantly for both of us, I suck bad at animating.

[ShortMonkey]

Rofl that's three in a row. Are there any Disturbed fans out there that are GOOD at animating? :P

[23450]

I say do it on The Night. A new song people can be excited about. : )

Only thing is that song has no real point, its one of those whacky songs that is interpreted differently from each person's viewpoint.

Although that song was amazing.

That would be me, fortunately for you, this is my favourite song by them. I'll take part 17 for sure, and probably 27. So is this going to be like black and white, or do you actually want color?

Thanks but I like this song better (don't get me wrong, The Night is a great song too). Are you going to join? :D

Yo. You can colour it however you want, as long as it looks rad.

Question: How does a 3:55 long song have 42 parts and how long is each part? :o

Also I want a link when its finished. XD

[Blackfang]

4 - 6 second parts = 42 parts for a 3:55 song. Watch my Have A Nice Day collab and you'll see my style.

Also I want a link when its finished. XD

Sure.

You need to get better taste in their music.

[ShortMonkey]

YoinK, maybe if this collab is succesful, I may start another one with Stricken. But I have to take one step at a time and I've chosen this song. ;)

To everyone that has asked if they can have a part, the answer is YES. Looking forward to seeing your work!

[TITROTU]

I'll take part 9 and part 12 for now. These parts are so short I may take a third one later. :)

I don't want a part of just lipsyncing unless graphics are bloody good. And I looked at your userpage and your WIP doesn't look very good animation wise. I know the graphics aren't final so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You may choose ONE part, but don't be surprised if it's not up to par and is rejected. Good luck. :)

[dadancinman]

Is it okay if i have a stick man (drawn with line tool) with those sleek red eyes, playing a kramer, and lipsyncin, then in the background meteors falling from the sky?

ya ya. i love lip syncing.

As long as it's done well.

sorry ur post wasnt there until i posted my post.

[ShortMonkey]

Dancinman, you may take part 13 and if I like it, you may do the next two. Think of it as an audition but if your audition passes, it'll be in the collab.

okay im working on it. i dunno im having MY doubts, cause ive never done anything with a serious mood.

Im just doing the lip sync now.

i might change up my mouth mcs so they dont look as cartoony.

[dadancinman]

done the lip sync, obivously needs some touch ups, and like i said im gonna edit the mouth mcs so they dont look so cartoony.

this is JUST the lip sync. nothing more.

First time EVER animating in anything higher than 24 fps.
