Ok, I'm back had to work most of today. I'm hard to get a hold of on the week ends cause I'm also a bouncer. I'll go through the posts and look over the people who want to be in, right after I sort out the music thing... I guess I should give it more structure so it's not to crazy.
I'll post a list and email everyone who is interested.
Will post again soon.
First to answer questions...
-Aztec-:
Yes I have you on the list. Nice flash.
craze3:
Yes you are on the list.
Astropuff:
"1. Does everyone get a particular segment of the song to animate to?"
Yes, I'm going to be posting the parts you can choose from in my next post.
"2. Are the animated pieces interconnecting, as in ARTIST 2 carries off from where Artist 1 ended? Or is it more of "do whatever you want within the guidelines", so that everything is similar?"
Basicly you can do whatever you like within the guidelines but try to make it fit the music. There are some slower spots and faster spots in the music.
Think of it as everyone is inspired by the same thing but not telling the exact same story.
dusty_h: "is there a shot of me getting one of the co-author spots?"
Co-author on the NG post will be filled by people who show up on the collab in a big way. Great flash and Great help to other people on the collab.
If you just make your flash and it is kick ass you can get a Co-Author spot... or if you make your Flash and it is good and you work hard to make it better you might get a CO-author spot.
I can't just go by first come first serve but I will be fair and balanced.
Tystarr: See dusty_h's answer.
Blitz515: Rock on you are on the list.
Starogre: Same.
sshafty1: "May I join?"
I need to see some of your work first... even if it is just a second or two.
Tystarr: "Whats goin on with this collab? I already started working on it but i dont see any updates. Is this still on, cuz this is real interesting."
I had to work... and on the way home I ran out of gas... sorry, I also have to work tonight so I will be offline until 2-3 am. I work in a bar... so late nights.
Mogly: "I would like to join."
Sure, just one thing if you could put a little color in there for the colab it would be great, but even if you don't welcome. You are on the list.
Starogre: "If you post any music parts for people, sign me up for one. I will be gone for a week, and I am very interested in this and I really want a part. Please allow me to get one reserved so no one takes it. Thanks."
I'm going to be posting the music soon. again the music has changed.
paoloproduction: "hey can i b part of it?THANKS!:D"
Yes but no video, if you are going to submit it will need to be flash vector based mainly. If you can swing that welcome on board.
That was alot of questions... but I think I got them all... I'll be sending out emails to everyone with the details so we are all on the same page.

Music has changed! I did some fishing and found some music that is a little less used on the portal...
Helix - Overkill
Download the whole song here to listen to it and get a feel for it...

Then you can choose the part you would like to do. Post here which part you have dibs on and start animation.
JUST SO YOU KNOW!!! The parts are in order for the song. I.E Part1... Part2... Part3... The second part of the file name is the amound of time the clip lasts roughly... so Part5_15 means it is 15 seconds long... pretty simple.

I like the music and took some time to find it and edit it so please if you don't like the music try to tell me in as nice a way as you can.
The reason I changed it is because the other one is over used... StarOgre is right on that one.
I'm off to bed... at 8:am... I need some help with this nocturnal thing I have going on... anyway. I'll be on again in about 6 hours or so... if not I'll be back early tomorrow.
just pick one please. If there is any space left or if everyone wants to do more go ahead but I can only promise the one spot.
Sounds good... i'm busy but ii'll try to make something quick
i have a pretty good idea

Hey Stasis, can you send me an email so I have your address? also I need to see some work before I can give you the go ahead on this.
If you already showed me some I forgot... sorry.
anyway... I'm turning off the computer for now... If anyone wants to call a number and get started go ahead. Just spend a little while on it though and let me see it or some of your work and I'll tell you if you are on the list or not.
Thanks everyone!
part 8 please.
question about the song : i think the clips are probably to short, for instance in mine i could do a pretty good peice but its still quite short. maybe have people doing two right next to each other, because you clearly dont want this turning into a newbie collab. just a suggestion but please think about it.
Ok so I lied... I am going after this post though... I just have one thing to ask of the artist for this collab.
If you could do an anamatic of what your animation is going to look like for me it would be great. That way I can see how things will flow.
And to show my good faith here is my crappily drawn anamatic that will help me get all my timing down.
It is a good practice to do an animatic so please ablidge me if you can.

If you want to colaborate with the people on either side of you that is fine. Again that is kinda the reason I was wanting to have some anamatics from each person. so they have thier timing down. and we can slap together a rough cut of the colab so that everyone will know what they are working toward.
I can't decide whether I want pt.4 or 5 so...hmm...Yeah I'll take 4. I really love animating those kinds of music parts where it speeds up the beat dramatically and whatever. I'll get started on my animatic right away. If we end up taking two parts each or something I got dibs on 5 also.
parts one through three seem like they should all be on part.. or, at least parts one and two. I would like to take part one and if I could, two, because I think the very first part of this should be the guy walking along and all of the sudden he sees the robot, and the robot suggests that he's gonna try and get the guy, and then the guys will start running, and that's where part 1 and 2 would end and whoever gets part three can take it from there, do their own thing or continue from where i left off. Anyway my email address is dustoe@gmail.com or iluvtacoz@yahoo.com. Thaaanks and I'll get started on my little idea I posted above.

Ehh...I believe your dimensions are off...heh...
I want everyone to listen to part 20.
thats the part im taking. So im going to be at the end . At what I wanna do that syncs up with the music, is have the human hiding behind a crate or something, facing the screen, brised up & breathing really heavily, and you can see the robot in the background walking around and looking for him. And at the end of part20 u can here sounds kind of like a giant robot walking, and it fades away.
So yah..you guys say i should do that...or its okay to do that?
I just finished the animatic for mine. Took a while but it shows pretty well what i'm doing. Only thing is I might make the robot shooting at him while he's in the air or something. (thought of that after it was finished and didnt want to go back and put it in).
Please tell me what you think of my idea and such...
looks alright. I'll start my animatic as soon as i get a response on whether or not i can do 1 and 2 (they really do need to be combined i think..)

Just pick one. If you would like to animate yours with part 1 first then later do an Optional Part 2 that is fine... I might be able to work the extra clip into the finalle.
but for now dusty, just pick one. cause if I combine part 1 and 2 that is almost 40 seconds of screen time up front. if you don't show up in a HUGE way we will lose people's intrest quickly. That is why I cut it so short.
If you want to go above and beyond the call then great! It will be rewarded.
For now let me see an animatic for the part you choose.

If I missed anyone I'm sorry, I think I got everyone that called a slot.
Here are the other people in the collab who haven't called a slot:
paoloproduction
True_Darkness
Blitz515
-neeko-
Again anyone I told that they were on the list and I missed them here I'm sorry.
I have to go to work and I don't have time to double check I will fix the problem later.
i TOTALLY have part 15! definatly, its perfect for what I invision.
hey i want to join and if i am allowed i can do two parts. i am willing to do no. #15 and 21 if they are up for grabs. i do have a flash on newgrounds but i have progressed beyond that which is on newgronds.
Yay! I'm able to post on this Mac in ohio. So i'll be able to post :/ but not do an animatic/animation type thing...
Ya, Parts one and two do look like one part. But I don't think one person should get two parts if they are seperate from each other. maybe if two parts are real short and flow together, (and are next to each other), one GOOD animator can have them.
Jack, nice animatic, and to who said the dimensions are off, well it's just an animatic. He's not coloring that and saying that's his submission. But good catch anyways.

Well, I am willing to do my best on those two parts if I can. otherwise, I can just do the first one if that's all that's called for. I have my animatic done for the first.
ANIMATIC
Tell me what ya think.
I'm so doing this collab!!! This is gonna be good!
