That's awesome, especially the last scene. I love how the Americas appear in time with the music. Great job.

Explosion will be expanded, all hand-drawings will be dumped.

Looking good everyone.
I traveled away for the new years so I do not have any access to flash.
But I might still do some more storyboards, hahahah.
I feel so bad for not finishing yet.


Sketchbook_NG_1.0 Also, i'm a dick sometimes, get used to it.

Okay, so I messed around with the filters a little and this was what I got

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/4308/852 84_4ur-part.php

All that's missing is the explosion...

So.. I honestly can't tell if this is good, bad or really bad.... There isn't much to do or draw when your destroying the sun...

Any suggestions? Especially on the explosion part?

Response to The Universe Collab 2008-12-30 18:00:18


-Stream your music!
-An explosion is one swift action, not a series of strange transformations. Try to use some bright light beams (like on this picture http://www.delvarworld.com/wallpapers/go ld2NH.jpg)

Great job, guys!

Especially OxSox and MarsYam.

Anyone who's done, send the .fla to me, either by spamtheweb.com or by email (archon68@gmail.com)

Well I think this about does it for me:

http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/040109/6 3245_Prehistoric-ClassicalOXSOX1.php

What do ya'll think? Personally, I think it's ok. I'm still not 100% happy with the Native American's walk nor the Sphinx (even after redrawing) but I'm having trouble improving on what I have. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts about anything in the movie? If not I'll post the .fla.

I liked all the parts that everyone else was working this could shape up to be quite the little collab.

Also what's the deal with the music? Should I fade it in/out? It's going to be a bit jarring if we keep switching songs with no fades. Even with fades changing every 30 seconds could get tiresome for the viewer.

Great work!

And I think it's better if the music fades out (and in).

I'm thinking of adding a background of a cityscape. Have some hints on improving? I don't take satisfaction with "It's good enough"

Zelldoom is doing that part, but I never saw him on this forum or saw any of his work in progress.
You should get that part!

It's great...

Maybe you can change the part where you zoom out from the bombs, because they do seem to fall a little bit slow... :)

You can try and change it with the following:
Let the bombs fall much faster when zoomed out, when they hit the ground show a mushroom cloud. Then let the ground/camera shake. After that, you let the explosion reach the father and his child.

I would definitely put background and clouds or something. Right now when the bomb is dropping it looks to me more like the bombs are stationary except for the obvious, psuedo-falling, back in forth movement, because there's no background. Besides I think when you look at the great artist on newgrounds they always have exceptional backgrounds. Little or no background looks lazy to me whether it was the artist's intent or not. Also when the finger hits the button your going to animate that explosion, right? If you want I have a stock explosion and a stock city background you can have, either to use or use as inspiration. I really like what you have done though, especially your artwork.

Well, I think that's great so far. Obviously, you've still got to animate the white blobs. I agree with what the other person said about the nuclear explosion effect instead of it just going to white.

I just sent a PM out to those who haven't sent me a file yet to see if they are still in. If you posted on this page, I didn't send you a PM, though.

I forgot to mention, please make sure to credit the song I'm using:

Also when do you think you'll know who gets co-authorship?

Response to The Universe Collab 2009-01-06 02:15:07


Ok another question about my part. Do I have to draw the sun? Or is it good enough as a blurred gradient as I posted above?

And the explosion, I'll just try make a beam of light come out suddenly, then another, then three more, then the screen fades out and explosion... Any other suggestions?

And it's a good thing I took this piece, cuz I can't draw much, and there isn't much to draw here...or is there?

You don't have to draw it in detail... just add a little more detail to the sun and you'll be fine :-)

And for the explosion, you should do the rays of light thing, but when it explodes, don't have it instantly go to white, have it start from a small ray of light going across the center to fullscreen. But, it has to happen quickly (in like 3-4 frames)

Response to The Universe Collab 2009-01-06 08:32:49


Well I was just gonna make a white screen over everything, give it alpha, then motion tween it in 5 frames to alpha 100...

I don't understand ur center thing.

And Munz dropped out, so if anyone wants his part they can have it.
