probably not, isnce it would be based one a single story, all the other animators would feel like they are working towards helping that one person and get all pissy.
That's why you just need to have all the people contribute to the story together. Make a forums topic, everyone post an idea, or a word that would be included somehow, then everyone shapes the story together.
i attempted to do this with dailytoon 400 and am currently attempting to do it again with a different collab.
and i agree, NG needs more organized collabs that follow some sort of storyline or narrative even if its vague. luis seems to be the only collab organizer on here who has done anything like that. we need more collabs like "pass my flash" and less mindless music videos
tom was talking about the next mega collab being based on a totally original idea. why not a collab that follows a storyline and isn't just a series of videogame jokes that only nerds understand? i would say splitting up the workload would be the best way to make something really worthwhile. you have the best writers working on the script and storyboard, the best audio artists working on the sound effects and music, the best animators doing the artwork, etc.
that method could end up producing a really high quality short film, if you chose the right people. but in order for it to work, like mindchamber said, you'd have to have one single director orchestrating everything. i'd like to think there are at least some artists on this site who are willing to leave their egos at the door for the better of the whole, but thats probably a little too idealistic. if the staff tried to organize something like that though, i'd sure as fuck be interested.
