When someone comes along to replace Lambinvoker, I'll set another deadline. :P
Could you guys post updates/demos as to where your part is at?

This looks like an awesome collab, and it looks like you guys need extra animators? Where do I sign?

I hope they let you in this collab. Your animating skills are insane!

Right at the bottom of this paper, in your blood.
So you want to join? :D! If you do, you'll be taking 1:30-1:45 - Father-Of-Death. Here's what Lambinvoker came up with before he dropped out.

All right! That piece of music is already giving me inspiration! I'll start working on this right away!

I glad you guys were able to replace me without too much trouble. I wish you all luck.

How many parts are done?

I'm starting to like this collab. Here's my piece. What do y'all think?

First time I've ever done lip synching.

Looks cool! I don't know if you've heard about this, but we're really trying to tie all the pieces together with cool transitions that blend together, like rising up through the ground from hell to street level and running through an explosion and all that. Talk to the people on either side of you so you can discuss some creative methods :)

yeah, it's cool. Who's got the parts before/after you, for transitions?

Let's see. BritishMoose before me and Shortmonkey after.

Does anybody know what's BritishMoose's part like? And Shortmonkey, what kind of transition should I make in the end of my part?

I'm doing a really good job procrastinating the last half second of my toon! I still have yet to touch it since my last post. Regardless, I'll have it done by tonight :P

Also, I believe whirl guy is transitioning from my part for the end? Just letting you know, I plan on doing a white fade out, so you can have yours fade in from white... as for who ever is before me, I plan on fading in from black, but if you have an idea that will transition better just let me know.

Yeah, Im done too.

hehe, dont get confused. Im the ender in the song, the starter in the animation. You should talk to BlazingGamer to discuss your ending:3

Wow guys, looks like we're getting close to finishing this! =D
Im getting impatient, I wanna get to work again! >_<

Hey Quarl, I started my piece with a kick. If you want, look at my part and see if you can work with that. If not, I can change the beginning of my part to just the POW part hanging. Is that kool with you?

ATTN: TOXIC >:C

Have you done the ground? if so can I see it :3

Finished sort of.

There's still a few things I want to clean up, but it's done for the most part. Who's ever in front of/ before me, note the transitions. The intro is a black fade in and the outro is a white fade out. It's simple, but very effective. So I'm guessing brit moose is gonna want the fla. eventually?

Yeah, nice dude. And here, I think this would fit to the transition of your video to mine.

turn that pow into a shape or a symbol and have it zoom in from a really small magnification at a really quick rate. for added sexyness, tween it larger and smaller as if recoiling from the whiplash of an instant stop... of course it doesn't have to do that, but it would make me happy :)

Also, you might hate me for saying this, but you might want to clean your portion of the toon up a little bit. Sometimes simplicity is more important than detail. Over complicating things tends to lead the viewer confused. An example of that would be the blimp at the end. I had trouble reading it because it was moving a bit too much. You should save your fla as a new title now and experiment with some of your details a little. If you don't like the changes, you can always just use the original file.

It's kool. I could do that. And yeah, I thought the blimp thing would be a little hard to read and such. But, if I laid it still, it would look... well... normal. And I was aiming for something unique. Let's see what I can manage up.

And here is what I came up with Quarl, what da ya think? I kinda don't get what you mean when you said "clean your portion of the toon up a little bit."

I CANNOT MAKE MY ENDING WITHOUT KNOWING HOW I AM MAKING THE TRANSITION >:C

I would seriously just rather making him go into the "Heaven" portal and making it fade to white.

starting to look better. You might not get what I mean when I say "clean up" because you might see your segment as perfect, but from where I'm looking, it looks a little dirty... I think you're aiming for a vinnie veritas vibe, which is by all means a dirty gritty style, but in some instances, the perspectives are off and the proportions are messy.

That one shot where the guy is in that block room and there's the "ctsg" collab graffiti on the wall is exactly what I'm talking about. Try eliminating the background's vanishing point and have just a wall instead of a three wall +ground and ceiling perspective. You can keep the graffiti on the wall if you think it's necessary, but I'd mush rather see some cracks in the wall then sub par graffiti. If you keep the ctsg graffiti, elaborate it a bit and make it look like real good graffiti. I have a huge respect for good graffiti artists and seeing graffiti that bad makes me feel a little sick. No offense, just commenting.

Also, in the shot almost right after where he does that colorful little power blast thing... take the circular lines off the walls. I'm not sure what you're doing with those, but they don't help the perspective out. For all the frame by frame lines... touch those up and make them solid or something. Being able to see the brushstrokes isn't a good thing... unless your going for a pseudo impressionist flash style.

That fade with the red circular gradient is another thing that doesn't look right to me. you might want to make a frame by frame transition... or just a cleaner looking shape to tween. Dunno... do you know how to fade shapes and symbols? Because fading to a white screen then fading out into that black and white facial shot might be effective. A general rule of thumb that tends to work for me is to fade in and out, all the time, lol.

Also, I'm sorry if this feels like a hard bit of feedback. Understand that I'm a university art student, and that critiques are a part of all my assignments and projects. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, I'm just trying to help :)

Seems as if people only respond to updates..

HERES A FUCKING UPDATE

Do you want a crit or something? What type of response are you looking for? Is this good enough for you? I'm sorry, but I missed the last page and I'm too lethargic to press the page button at the top of the screen to read up on what you were looking for... seriously though. That would require so much work on my behalf...

Link me to the previous page/ scratch my balls for me?
