Sorry, I don't intend for the Internet public to see this Flash, so those who aren't in the club might think "Wtf is this? It makes no sense." However, I do want to share this with the friends I know, and I don't know how else to post this (I failed with swf~>avi), so please don't mind me ==;

IF you are not from my school's anime club, please heed my warning (because you probably won't... like it), so don't hate me for wasting I-don't-know-how-many minutes of your life.

------

Two dedicated graduating Anime club members, Carole (me) and Jacqueline, decided to create a Flash animation for their club before they leave High School. So, they asked everyone who was in the club meeting that day with this question, "What is your dream cosplay?"

Unfortunately, because I am so crap at drawing on Flash, the outcome is that each character in the animation represents a member in our club, supposedly "cosplaying".

Thorough Explanation:
It is the funeral of our club head, Paul. Every member of the club had gathered for this unfortunate event. Everything was fine until Kagetora (Jacqueline), discovered that Carole (cosplaying as Light from Death Note), was, in fact, using a real Death Note, disguising it as a Guest Book for the funeral. Light had already written every graduating club members into this Death Note (and Paul was possibly killed by her too *cough*).

Upon this discovery, Jason, our club's co-head cosplaying as Simon, pushed Light into Paul's grave to prevent her from killing the other club members, thus causing Light to die in this event as well. Peace was restored and the story abruptly ended, with Credits starting to roll.

In the small screen, every graduating members who were killed by Death Note was shown one by one (Paul is left out) in Heaven. Archer (George) is a graduating member doing a victory lap (returning to High School), so he was pushed out of Heaven, because it is not his time to die yet.

Note: Thomas (as Joseph) was last year's club head. Truman (as Harima Kenji) was a dedicated member. They graduated last year and still visited us this year.

This was originally our Computer Art class's final project (to create an animation that flows with the music). Jacqueline and I thought of all these weird ideas after the "official" ending (after the coffin was put into the earth), and here is the outcome, an animation which made no sense at all.

We were short on time to hand in the project (and to show it to our club before the last day of school), which was why our work is so rushed and didn't look very fancy. XD

I was responsible for the character design/drawing and Jacqueline was responsible for practically everything else (colouring, setting, etc). We both had our share on the tweening/animation. We sometimes switched our jobs for some minor stuff.

Sorry if you didn't understand the first time around, the pace was rather fast.
Even with all these "deaths" I'm talking about, the animation looks more stupid/silly than violent =_=;
And, if you are wondering why Light had a girly scream, it was because I am a girl cosplaying/crossdressing as Light. :P

To be honest, I don't know how to copyright this (never figured out how to credit stuff). Every character belongs to their respective Anime/Manga/Game company. You will see which characters are from where in the Credits of the Flash. The sound effects are from a couple MMORPGs (I seriously don't remember which ones. I went through over 2,000 sound effects that day), and twitched them a bit in a program so it would fit into our Flash. Both BGMs are from Pheonix Wright.

Akemi Kimura - Reminiscence ~ Steel Samurai's Ballad (Song from Funeral)
Magical Trick Society - Won the Case (Song from Credits)

The weird laughing when the coffin was being lowered, was Hosaka's trademark laugh, from the anime "Minami-ke". Our club head likes that laugh a lot :P

Another problem I had was that the music flowed with the Flash perfectly on my laptop, but the Flash is lagging on my older computer, so I don't know if I should extend the music or leave it alone. But uh, enjoy!
