I would love to join this collab. Now i'd like to ask a few things:
I don't have time to read whole thread now, so i'd appreciate you to tell me what is the due date and are there any parts left (if yes, write numbers). I could take a few, i would make some decent animation.
Please send me all information through PM system and please add thread's link, so i can check it out more fairly and download parts when i'm back home.

On behalf of ShortMonkey, I am sorry to inform you that all available parts have been taken, and the collaboration is nearing completion. If a part becomes free, you will be the first to know.

I join, yus? :3
What parts are still availible?

I'm not sure if this collab is still "cut-throat" or if current unfinished parts will be available... but we could definitely notify people when this awesome collab reaches the newgrounds flash portal. :D

Ok, i'll be checking Newgrounds daily if someone decides to give up on their part. when i get assignment i can finish it within 1-3 days. my pm bos is open ;)

Isn't there still a collab fight for best part? because I cant find anywhere where it stated we still aren't having a "Best Part Wins".

"If there are two names, it means they are competing for the part. Also, this is cutthroat. If you want a part that is already taken, you may compete for the part. May the best animator win."

yes true. But I think we would much rather see a completed collab than competition of parts that are already completed.

Yeah but what about the unfinished parts? I mean wouldn't that speed up the process if we just let the people work on them, instead of them having to wait for the part to be open?

Compete for unfinished, I think that's fair. And yeah, it would get it done faster, but I think whoever gets it done first should get priority, unless the other person has a better-looking part.

Disturbed is godly, but i suck at animation sadly.

I think that's a good idea. where did shortmonkey go? hmm? I think my next solo project might be out before this collab. :D

Sorry for being so inactive! I used up my download limit so Newgrounds wasn't loading fast enough.

As of now, this collab is NOT cutthroat.

Master-Samus, finish your parts!

Masterchef Australia is getting gooood!

Does Master-Samus know that we're nearly there???

Of course. I think he's just been pretty busy. Things have changed since this collab started many months ago... and Newgrounds will change once this collab is submitted!

That's good to know. And yea I agree that this collab has changed over the time frame of it's existence. We have so many talented contributors. It might just be one of those collabs that sets the standards higher for an official newgrounds collab.

That would be awesome if it did that. I'm just happy that I was able to get involved with many talented animators. I can't wait until this is finished and I really do hope it sets collab standards higher for everyone here on Newgrounds. Shortmonkey has really done a good job setting a good example on how a collab should be run. I'm not trying to suck up either, I truly believe that.

hey guys hows things going?

things are going smoothly =)

A little rough, it took me quite a bit of time to figure out what I wanted to do. I've gotten past that part, its just a matter of time. That, and I've been a sucker for detail.

PIE IM HOME

I've noticed this collab has been at a stand still for some time. If there are any parts that are free I'll take up another part.

Nice song, amigo. 5ed.

I'll give an honest rundown of all the ideas I've shuffled through, started, and then switched to something else. Also, keep in mind the line I'm working on has "Living my life isn't hard enough."

I started with the idea of a guy in a Dodge Viper getting chased by the cops, but in his attempt to evade the police, he hits a guardrail and goes flying off a cliff. I had a decent outline for the Viper, but ultimately, I decided to scrap the idea because I felt the end result wasn't going to be nearly as good as the other two lines I've done. I'd rather not downgrade and deviate from what I've done already.

The next idea was to have a teenage girl get stranded on a city rooftop at gunpoint from terrorists. She'd then become a Phoenix, and then incinerate the whole lot of them, but I didn't get too far with that.

After that, I decided to go for a "War never changes" idea that first starts off with a wounded knight sitting against a building as the rest of his army charges through a town using warhorses and chariots. The knight would then fade into an American Civil War soldier, and the same would happen with the rest of the army, the chariots becoming wagons and canons. Then the Civil War soldiers would fade into modern day USMC marines, the canons and warhorses would fade into M1A1 tanks and Bradley Linebackers, and so on. I scrapped that because I knew that would take me forever to do, and I didn't get very far with trying to draw the knight with armor.

On top of all that, I've been busy as hell. Its not a matter of having Writer's Block, but probably exactly the opposite, having too many ideas and not being able to commit to one. What I'm working now is futuristic post-apocalyptic battle where modern day military vehicles have gotten a futuristic makeover. The main focus will be on the gunner of a Hind-D helicopter that has become more like a futuristic hovercraft gunship. Originally, I was going to make it a mech, but it didn't come out that great. I might still have mechs in the final animation, but they won't be the main focus. Still, I'm sticking with this idea, the outline for the gunship came out great and I know everything else should be smoothly done after that.

I am definitely working on this and not giving up, but I've hit a few snags. I hate the idea that I had a whole month and don't have much to show for it, but that's probably not too far off from the truth. Like Coldreaver, I want this last part of mine to be better than the other two I've done, and I finally think I've got the stuff to do that.

Still, thanks for being patient.

The asshole in me says that you should've gone with a Supra targa top, but the friend in me says, I agree with you, you should take your time to complete your prayer part so that it is intricately made.
Good luck, RazorHawk.

The Supra is a damn nice car, won't argue with that.

But yeah, thanks for the support. This will get done and it will look good.

At 7/12/09 09:21 PM, RazorHawk wrote: many ideas here

All of those ideas sound fantastic. The soldiers through time idea sounds amazing and hard, but if you decide to animate that one I think it would turn out fantastic. I wish you the best of luck on that.

However, don't rush your ideas. Good luck deciding on an idea and good luck animating it. I can't wait to see it.

Those are nice ideas but very hard to animate. I would probably go with some guy struggling to do homework but then he turns on the TV and there's a massacre on the news with dead bodies everywhere.

I think you could really animate anything for that part. Someone dying in some tragic way.... maybe a homeless person on a street... or animate a person getting fired...anything really.

Yeah, I agree with yoink, whatever you come up with I'm sure it'll be great

BUMP
