How exactly is the name of the character pronounced? I was previously always sure of my own interpretation, but suddenly I realise I don't think I have any way of knowing for sure...

Seeing as the name's gonna be spoken out a few times in my team's submission, I'd really appreciate any help regarding that.

I know the pronunciation was touched upon around half-was through this thread... but that wasn't very conclusive at all.

Pee-Co.

I think it's 'pee-co', but for some reason I pronounce it like 'pick-to' more often.

Cheers. I pronounced it Pick-o... and thinking about it, I wonder how any of us would actually know what was in Tom's head... I mean there's only bleeping (or whatever you call the 'speech') in his Pico productions.

Or more accurately..

Peek-o

Pick-o

That is how I say it, though I do not say it much.

Just thought I'd show anouther screenie.

Yours is the effort I'm most looking forward to. Seriously.

question!
when I'm using the brush tool sometimes it makes my stuff look very straight so I have to erase and re draw it over ,but there are times when it works fine, this bothers me a lot do you have any idea about what might be causing it?

Hmm...I did have this problem once. It seemed like I could draw completely straight without touching the SHIFT key (the shift key makes it draw striaght for you if you didn't know) and it was very confusing.

At first I thought it was my mouse but it was new. Then I tried changing the "Pencil" option from straighten to ink (I thought that was causing my brush to act the same way) but it was also happening to me in MS Paint. So in the end, I simply restarted my computer and it was fine :\

Haven't happened to me ever since...I'm not sure if I can help you much lol.

This is something ive had to put up with in flash 8... it has new algorythms and calculations for the brush/line tool and so in an attempt to 'help' you by assuming that you wanted a straight line or whatever it acts the way it does.. havent bothered to see if theres a way to shut that off or what... that smoothing meter does almost nothing to it. So my suggestion would be to go back a few versions in your flash program if you happen to have em. i miss the flash mx days.

final screenshot until its done.

How old is the Pico history?

deadline is getting closer, people are getting ready, submisions are being finished... but not mine :C, before, i was making my animation just for the prizes, but now i feel like om being part of something... something BIG...

cant wait to see other people's movies... i hope the vote panel doesnt vote for the most popular artists just because they are well-known and i hope they take in count the effort and the originality and all that stuff from every pico submission, im saying this because i have seen few of this cases in the monthly top 5 movies and games.....

crap only 2 weeks left!!!!!

AHHHHHHHH, Fuck, Shit, Crap, I...Need...a Cigarette, AHHHHHHH No, Wait, I forgot, I dont smoke *spits out cigarette* ONLY 2 Weeks left and I only hav 500 Frames with 24 FPS!!!

i got it on opage 5 but the link doesnt seem to be woeking anymore :(

Does anyone know when the winners will be announced?

I emailed tom about the late submission issue.

My email
Hey tom,
This is just quick question concerning Pico Day.

Would a submission still be eligible for the prizes if it is submitted from anywhere from a few hours to a few days late? Or does the submission need to be submitted on the 30th no if, ands, or buts?

His reply

A few hours or a few days could still be considered, but it will be more of an uphill battle - the submission would have to be hands down better than everything else. :)

-Tom

So there you have it

personally i think you do a disservice to yourself to not submit it on the day of the event. Reason being that people will likely grow tired by the next day and youll get backlash votes from people saying omg pico day was yesterday moron!! 0!

heh I'm almost sure I won't be done by april 30
