official viral distribution concepts thread

[psi43]

maybe

aka no

way to ruin the tension, it was supposed to be a surprise.

[psi43]

btw what is this collab for? The dimensions are too big for newgrounds and too weird for youtube.

[MRat]

the collab is for f. f is to toast. toast is burnf. burnf is to morbid as butter is to a cycling graphic of a guy jerking off onto toast, eating it, shitting it out, jerking off onto it again, eating it againf...


will newgrounds not allow me to upload it at those dimensions or does too weird actually mean too weird and nothing else? if so I don't see why we all can't just make a friendly challenge out of this and declare that the voting criteria be as follows:

/100
Relevance to the Tribulations and Woes, Worthy of those Befallen Unto Job by the Merciful and Generous Hand of the One True Lord, of Burnt Toast: /5
Artistic Technique, Insight and Personality: /5
Ability to make use of the insane aspect ratio in a manner which develops a meaningful connection between the observer and the observed: /90

[psi43]

newgrounds will not allow you to upload it with those dimensions. At least not last time I checked, I think anything above 1000px is too much, may even be less than that.

I just remember trying to upload this: DJ BJ - Jungle Job (SMD) which was originally 1920x1080 and Newgrounds said "nope, those dimensions are too big".

As for youtube, it'd be weird because the player is 16:9, which means that the video would have black bars.

[MRat]

Well I'm fine with it being letter-boxed on youtube. i could also scale it down while maintaining the aspect ratio.

lets just put it on a bunch of vhs tapes and drop them off at various addresses with a little note that says 'do not watch' they will probably end up on the news the next day

Not a bad idea. It's a way to get noticed, I suppose. That is of course, assuming anyone would even regard them because VHS players aren't too common these days.

Could be worse. It could be super 8. I dont know anyone besides me with a super 8 player.

[MRat]

Could do it on columns, each frame on its own column. Then as you ride by on your house the passing columns and images create a zoetrope style effect.

[Flash]

we could scatter the individual frames as pamphlets throughout the city and glue them to bus stops, café doors, subway walls and human statues. with each page numbered and a proper spine, one could easily make his own flipbook out of our work. for if you think about it, what's better, the burnt toast you can buy anywhere, or the one that you make with your own sweat?

[Tardigrade]

That could work, but which city are we talking about?

Anyway, in all seriousness, I am actually somewhat interested in this project, but unfortunately I don't think I'll have the time to produce anything worthwhile. Oh well.

[zwimmy]

More like... BURNT TOAST.

I think the crazy plans for distribution are much more fun. Lets just do that.

[rtil]

[funzop]

finished my part

LeetStreet Boys - Yuri The Only One

[MRat]

sincerely,
that dirty idealist,
the rat

[bd648]

what if we had a bunch of cars and we had them go in a line through a city and each of them had a picture of a single frame on them.

[rtil]

i don't understand

[redmongoose]

if we did that, rtil would have to step down as CEO of thebackalleys and then this website would change its logo to just three letters and start streaming episodes of totally spies and greenlighting new seasons of johnny test & I would rather that didnt happen personally
