can you do a little more to it? it's very static with the robot.. He is kinda standing there... perhaps have him looking around more and moving around the room turning as he is looking.
It's good but you can make it more interesting to watch. everyone else is making them as dynamic as possible.
I just want every piece to be super awesome.
I'm sorry guys, but I feel I need to drop out of this collaberation for several reasons.
For a start, JackSmack said I wasn't a definate anyway - I still had to wow him with something. And I really can't see that happening. I'm currently halfway through moving house, and I'm finding it very hard to find time for flash at the moment. Also, I have 5 pieces of coursework to finish to take back to school by september. I didn't realise just how strapped for time I am, and considering the due date and the quality of everyone elses flash, it would probably take me 'til christmas to get something good enough. Although I think I can best my own previous flash work, I don't think I would be able to compare with the likes of everyone in this collab. I've watched what people have so far and everyone's is awesome. I feel way out of my league here.
So I'm giving up my space in the hopes that somebody more talented and/or with more time on their hands will take up the challenge. My apologies, but I'm certain I won't be missed once the space is filled.
On a last note, good luck with the collab and I hope it does well on NG!
Cheerio from RabbiTomro.

Added some flavor to the robot scene, and some 'splosions.
I understand that. I've been known to bite off more than I can chew as well... I'm surprized I've found time to work on this collab myself.

Ya.... I know this is gonna be disappointing (or not) but I'm definatly dropping out. I don't have the time.
I'm still in the Beyond Gaming 2 collab and the Endless Challenge Collab, and on top of that I have my OWN collab to take care of. I'm sorry but I just can't fit this collab into it too! well, cya.
sorry i haven't posted in ages, just letting everyone know i'm still working on my part.
as for sanchie... good riddance.
wogoat, great animatic can't wait to see it's final product.
ramses, like it (but like jack said)
as for me i'm juggling this collab, and mine and it's hard but i'm taking a break from other work and working on this one as much as i can today.
everyone's part is looking great just keep up the great work and really try your hardest so we can wow jack.
I made progress! I got a lot of work done this mornimg. Heres what I have so far. Its not finished I just didn't put in the backgrounds, change the design of the bot, make the face meaner, add diff effects, and do the camera zoom inz yet. I got more to do but just please comment . http://img381.images..mage=animatic4ji.swf
Jack, if you've given half of mine and Aztecs part away, can I have a go at 20?
Aztec dissapeared and I'm like on my own...
Well whatever, if something works out for the double then I'm still up for it but can I have a go at part 20 or anything else?
Tystarr, looking good, but for your run cycle in the beginning, you should keep him in the mid./same spot of the screen the whole time. Don't tween him across. Make the bg scroll behind him in the beginning so you see the running animation.
As for mine, I picked it back up a bit and did another small part of the guy's animation. And I also darkened the buildings on the top view of guy running part.
the events are merely fictional, written, directed, and acted out by all who create them

I don't kno how to make a good looking scrollin background. Can you help me with that?
starogre, no offense, but just as constructive criticism, it seems really out of proportion when the guy is running on the buildings. First of all, his foot is like the size of the window. And also, by having him jump a building with each footstep, it creates the impression that the buildings are like 6 feet wide. Just something to think about... But besides that it looks great. I especially like the water explosion at the beginning, very sexy.

Thanks for the review. A couple things about what you said though. The foot, measured in flash is really about a third of the size of the window. Second, I don't see how running really fast (or taking big steps) couldn't get you two steps per building. That's not even as inhuman as running on the building in the first place. Also, if the guy is six feet tall, and the building is much wider than him, I can imagine the building being more than six feet. And it's not water, its the laser's explosion :D
And Tystarr, sure i'll help, just make it loopable, stuff flying past really fast, almost randomly if he's running real fast, and if you have AIM, you can contact me at starogre as username.

KK, I'm "ENTIRELY" confused at the cigarette scene, as you animate him liting up the fig, then you also have tweened arms lighting it up at the same time, and then the camera also moves during that relative time frame.
Are you deciding on which one of lit up animations to use or something?

nah there the guide arms, i left 'em on for the mo' because i havent finished that bit yet, gunna take them off for the finished thing tho.
when the robot changes, add something in the background and have him do something more.
for example have fire burn up in the background and tint the original landscape red while the fire flows, and make the robot clench his fists and you see his chest get muscely(?).
comments on mine aswell plz (about 4 posts up)

thanks for the comments, yeah i haven't even started backgrounds yet but i was planning on making more effects when he changes anyway. i'd make his fists clench (...if he had fists)
Mogly's and Animatorjones are great so far!
Tystarr, yes that bg is loopable. Make your buildings one big movieclip and email it to me in an fla if you don't get the following instructions, so I could do it for you, easily.
Well, first, make the buildings one movie clip. Then copy and paste another set of buildings, (the same MC you just made) and move it right next/to the left of your first set of buildings. Third, highlight both of those mc's and make that yet another big MC. Then make it yet ANOTHER movie clip called Scrolling BG or something. Then go into the movie clip and turn on onion skin. Make sure one set of buildings is showing on the stage, then insert a key frame on frame 10. Insert a motion tween from frame one to ten, then drag your onion skin from frame ten alllllll the way back to frame 1. Now, on frame 10, just move your building set to the right so that the building set to the left ends up on the building set to the right from frame 1 using your onion skin. This should make it so that the buildings scroll to the right, if your guy is running to the left. Now to make the loop look better, insert a keyframe on frame 9 and drag it to frame 10. This will clear up some pausing in your loop.
Hope that helped, if not, I'll do it for you if you email me an .fla with your buildings in it.
Email btw... starogreATstarogreDOTcom, link is in my profile.

nice to see you are back. Don't go calling people names... Anyway. Can you clean up the part where the guy looks up? It's pretty rough.
Tweaked with the timing on some of the lasers/explosions so that it looks a bit more like they're actually firing. Oh, and finished a very shoddy animatic.

can we have the robot moving around the room and turning and looking more like a robot than a statue with lights on it. I'm not saying this cause it's bad I'm just saying it cause it could be better.
The robot is just kinda sitting there and not really something that seems like it would be hard to escape from. I just think it would be more intense if the robot was more of a creature.
sorry for the double post... -snare- take part 15 and have an animatic that kicks ass and you can get back in.
Well I need to make the first and second scene transition better, hoping a fade effect will work. And I also need to finish the last scene, ganna have him running forward and cutting a corner behind a cargo-crate or something.
After that, its off to colorization then the creation of backgrounds that should resemble the first one.
