I can now submit this collab.

I may take up to a few days or so because I really want to make sure there are NO bugs in this flash. I will be replaying and analyzing for a while.

When it is submitted, I will post the link straight here!

Do what you gotta do man! it's always good to make sure everything is top-notch and running smoothly

I'm about to submit the collab and BAM! Feuse and Studio-Nightbird have not added me as flash portal buddies. I added them and contacted them to accept my buddy request.

Should I submit now, anyway, and when the request is accepted, I'll add them to the Flash co-author list?

Maybe, maybe not. It's not over yet. As for awards, honestly, I don't care. What we made still rocks even if it doesn't get anything. Anyway, 5 and 10 from me. Finally, the day has come, and I am seriously impressed with how this all came out.

Awesome work, guys.

Cheers. Still, it would be nice to get a Daily Feature. A years wait really deserves Daily Feature in my opinion and all the hard work into this.

Granted, if we were active constantly, we probably would have finished this within 4 months, but still..

Eh, dude, don't sweat it. Scores jump all over the place during the first few hours after submission. I had a submission that went from 2.82 to 3.40 over time. Besides, if we all like how it came out, isn't that enough? I think we did a pretty damn decent job.

Anyway, the thing that kind of irks me is why people are reviewing poorly because there was no story (since when was there supposed to be one?) or because everyone animated their own ideas for their parts. Just doesn't seem right to vote low on that basis alone.

I think it would be hard to be included in daily feature. But you will never know your luck.

Sweet. Glad it's finally in the portal!!!!

Just voted on it.

Voted 5 with my 5.69 voting power.
3.85 / 5.00 (+ 0.0087)

I think we'll get Daily Feature, at least I hope so. It would be nice, but even if it doesn't make it I'm glad we finally got it in the portal.

And yah, the reviews about the story don't make sense to me either. They're things to keep in mind though for future collabs. I guess what people wanted was something with a common theme, but hey, I like how we did it.

I'm glad I was able to work with everyone involved in this collab, and I would gladly work with all of you again in the future. If any of you ever start a collab just let me know. I would love to join. Especially you ShortMonkey. You did a fantastic job organizing this.

we're not going to get daily feature it looks like.
there's too much competition. There are a couple other flash's with scores over 4.00.
but that's okay. I think any award would be awesome. We put together something amazing.

Our common theme was to make something disturbing. Maybe that's what the reviewers don't understand.

It's fine I guess, We'll get an award, that's for sure. In the end the final product is something we can all be satisfied about. It was an honor working with you all, If SM ever decides to do another collab I will most certainly join.

I'm glad you're all happy with Daily 3rd. At first I was thinking you would be dissappointed, but YoinK's right, we had some rough competition.

Congratulations, everyone! Maybe next time we will achieve something better and then we can get more success.

I know the wrong decisions I made that brought downsides to this collab but everyone else here achieved more than I could ask for. Thank you, everyone!

Seeing as this is over now, I will have a break before starting my next music video collab. Until then, I encourage you to participate in the Mini-Game Collab 2. A success for the future but going through the stage we used to be at where it could really use some help. I strongly encourage everyone to participate there.

And I also encourage you to join Holiday Collab, a collab recently revived and lead by a great Flasher, a participant of HAND and a supporter of Prayer.

I hope to work with you guys again! I will most probably be starting up another collab later on and, as you would expect, I will not make the mistakes I made with this one and bring more success to the hard-working animators and collaboraters of Newgrounds. You guys deserve the best NG can give.

Thank you, everyone!

It's funny how the people who give shitty reviews don't even have a single flash submission.

I don't mind poor reviews as long as they give some actual insight and guidance by pointing out what was wrong, what they liked/disliked, and what they think should have been changed to help the authors get better. I have seen many collabs do exactly the same thing as we did, get great scores, and yet that was okay. Since when did people feel song collabs have to have a story behind them, or must be in sync with the song? Anyway, we did great, Daily 3rd is still quite impressive. Remember the compliments, and screw the insults.

As for not having Flash submissions, I can't totally blame them. Flash is expensive, and it cost me quite a bit for even just the education version.

RazorHawk's right, who gives a shit what some 13 year old who never has tried animation thinks.

Anyway, we did very well. Especially seeing that this is not a very popular song and many people don't like it.

For my next collab (which will be started in a while), I'm thinking of doing an inspirational ballad. I've done the pop/rock mainstream song, Have a Nice Day. I've done a reasonably heavy disturbing (well, the animations made it disturbing), Prayer.

I'm thinking of doing Iris by Goo Goo Dolls. What do you guys think?

And I'll say again, I won't be starting up a new one for a while.

Awesome pick for a song, but its 5:45 long. That's a pretty long time.

If I did a song collab, I would do Fort Minor - Right Now and have people stick to the lyrics while giving it a very urban/inner city kind of theme. Only thing is I'm not sure if I meet the requirements to host a collab.

It is quite long but on the Youtube it's longer because there's about a minute of crap after the song. It's around 4:00.

You have a BA of 3.87 - you can easily start up a collab on NG. I'll check out the song later on.

stats of our collab show that it was definitely a successful collab.
over 10,000 views already.
90 reviews with an average review score of 8.3/10

Other collabs that i've been in still never reached 10,000 views yet. heh
Overall very successful collab. :)
