Seven ages of rock: The Collab

Yea, that's right, after the big success of 'The Pirate Collab' (Daily 2nd, Front Page and NG Collab Collection) I'm back with a new collab, Seven ages of rock! :3

So now you're wondering, Seven ages of rock, what can I animate about that.
Well, this collab only has 8 parts, an intro and the 7 'ages' of rock.

This is how it works, I'll explain it with a menu:

Intro: a small intro that gives a fast view over the 7 ages of rock.
Part 1: 'The Rock Revolution' 1963-1970:
Part 2: 'The Experimental Rock' 1966-1980:
Part 3: 'The Birth of Punk' 1973-1980:
Part 4: 'The Loudest Rock Genre, Heavy Metal' 1970-1991
Part 5: 'The Stadium Rock' 1965-1993
Part 6: 'Alternative Rock' 1980-1994
Part 7: 'The story of the British indie' 1980-2007

So, as you can see, every part has his own 'theme'.

This collab is very much inspired by the TV programme 'Seven Ages Of Rock' by the BBC. That's why I think this site could help you very much in the progress of your part:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/sevenages/

You animate a part inspired to the artist of that rock period like for example, Part 6, The alternative rock, here you can animate something about the great band Nirvana or the other great band Pearl Jam.

What can you, for example, animate about these guys? Well, go to 'Google' and search some information about them, you could animate them playing a little fragment of a great hit of them while showing some of the ideals of there rock style. Well, Pearl Jam and Nirvana are grunge, grunge is about being bored, drugs and sadness, animate that with some of their music in the BG! :D

--Specs-

550x400 pixels
24FPS
White BG Colour (But you can make your own BG on a layer.)

--Rules-

No stickman
No porn (Erotic scenes are allowed, it's about rock so ;D)
No sprites (Only if they are very good.)
HAVE FUN!

--Music and Sounds-

First of all, THIS ISN'T A NORMAL MUSIC COLLAB! This is something different, this collab has meaning, this is about the history of rock, not only of the history of 'rock music'! You'll need music of course but I want this collab to have more than only a band playing some music.
But if you want to use a song fragment, please cut the song in parts and ONLY import the part of the song you want to use and not the WHOLE song. :)
Sounds and voice acting are allowed.

--Joining-

Only join this collab if you know you have a lot of talent! Also, don't just say 'I have a lot of talent, can I join?'. No, if you think you have a lot of talent, show it to us with a small preview of your work so we can see what you've done before. (: There will also some people invited to this collab by PM.

--Coauthoring-

What a surprise, there are only 8 parts so EVERYONE gets Coauthoring who made a part. (:

--Anything else?--

VERY IMPORTANT!

This collab is about rock, rock is about revolution, about experiments, about doing something new. That's why I prefer some new style of animating, there are 7 parts, how more different animating styles how better! (: The best example of a good animation style is the animation style of Morrowdays, he has his own style of animating, that's where I'm searching for! ;D

I'll check everyone's profile for his Flash. If you don't have any Flash, I'll message you to ask for more details (have you got any experience with Flash, if so, show us! :D)

Also, if you join this collab, make sure you'll finish your part and don't just say 'I don't have time, I'll stop' after 2 months.

-

That's all I guess so where are you waiting for,

ANIMATE THAT SHIT

and keep on rockin' in a free world.

Here are some exaples of artist by part:

Part 1: From Jimi Hendrix to Bob Dylan and from The Beatles to Neil Young (<3)
Part 2: From David Bowie (<3) to Pink Floyd
Part 3: From The Sex pistols to The Ramones, from New York to London, from Pathie Smith to The Clash
Part 4: From Metallica to Iron Maiden
Part 5: From U2 to The Police
Part 6: From Nirvana to Pearl JamPart 7: From Oasis to The Smiths

You could also just go to this site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/sevenages/) and choose one yourself, every part has his own text so there are enough part to choose of! :D

And last but not least, if you have any problems with inspiration for your part, just ask me, I'm full of inspiration!<3

The sounds like a very interesting idea. I watched the seven ages of rock and I'm a very big fan of the genre so I'd be interested in joining. If was to do anything I'd like to do the Heavy Metal age. I'd like to do Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath or Metallica.

Dibs on the Rock Revolution, if I qualify.

I would like to see a preview of you work before I count you in buddy! ;D

I love clock animation and shit but that's not really what I'm searching for in this collab, if you could show me a good preview of your latest work I could maybe count you in buddy. (:

Bertn

You want to see my work:

This is something I've been working on, not finished but it's some of my most recent work.

No problem. I'll just whip up something nice for you later. For now, it's time for me to head to school.

You're style isn't as awesome as Morrows one but you still rock, I just love that kind of animating and I always wonder how it's possible to make something that good and beautiful. (:

Anyway, if you want to be in, you're welcome! ;D Say me what part you want and I'll add you but know one thing, this isn't just a music collab, this is also about the music style, so don't just make a music video! ;D

What kind of music is part 7 ?

Indie rock is an English music style, Oasis is the biggest indie band but if you google for it you'll find a lot of information about it! ;D

I think it's awesome, it's like a sort of chill rock. (:

Bertn

I think it's awesome, it's like a sort of chill rock. (:

I'll take part 7 my friend :3

I'll go with numero 3 my friend. I'll get some recent work as an example soon, please keep that part reserved plese :3

Awesome, I'll count you in. (:

Also, there are only 7 parts in this collab, every part has to be perfect! If your part isn't perfect enough I'll have to throw it out, I hope you understand that. (:

Anyway, I'm pretty sure your part will be awesome :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_rock

I think this can be used very good for your part and good luck, also, don't forget to show a preview sometimes! ;D

also, as I already said, your part has to be more than just a music video. (:

I can't reserve a part as long as I haven't seen an example of your work, I'm sorry.

Woohoo, Nirvana<3

Make sure your part is great Otto, Nirvana is one of my favorite groups ;D Anyway, go and start animating and don't forget to post previews. :3

Bertn

there's a sig comming soon :D

Hey Bertn, just got your pm. Hmmm.... I'm gonna have to think this one over. I do love rock, but on the other hand I'm kinda busy and I don't really like animating with such a high FPS (found that out with the level collab). Let me give it some thought, see how things progress with the level collab.

That part 4 slot is really tempting me.

if you normally work with 12 FPS then just use 2 frames for one frame instead of 1 frame for 1 frame. ;D I hope you get what I mean.

A lot of people want him so if you want it, you'll have to be fast my friend<3

Bertn

I loved working with you on the last collab.
So I am interested...
But I just have no idea that the hell would happen in each part.

Is each part a mini music video of that genre?

OMG D: Read the first post carefully my dear Goat-Man ;D

This isn't another average music collab, this is about rock itself, not only rock music! It's about the ideals of the different rock scenes in 7 parts. (:

Anyway, if you're in I would like to see another preview of your newest work because I want this collab to have a better quality than 'the Pirate Collab'. ;D

Bertn

Awesome collab, Bertn!

I'm sure it'll be even better than the Pirate Collab, perhaps you're going for a super DAILY FIRST?!! ;D

Oh, and Funky and HeavyDNS, GET YOUR DAMN ARSE IN MY COLLAB, YOU OWE MY PREVIEWS!! xD

Good luck, mateys, it'll be another awesome work of Bertn & Co.! :D
