EDIT: ok this wasn't working so it's dead now, just a heads up to anyone who sees this topic and thinks about making a partOK i think the last thing we did was the movie lines thing but it took a while to actually get out so lets try and be more organized
courtesy of shaun blordowski mcglinn we're starting a new one!
if you're gonna make a part plz don't be a baby and drop out!! also dont say you're going to do it and then not do it at all
THEME
According to the mayans or whatever, the world is going to end next year. Animate what you think is gonna happen! We're generally going for a comedy theme but if you want to do a short 'serious' one for say the intro or credits sequence, let me know
SPECS
640 by 360
24 fps
Use whatever version of flash you want
Name your symbols sensibly, preferably with your username in front of them
eg. "psi43_leg", "rtil_volcano", "joeybang_clouds" this helps so much when compiling
Blordow is gonna be compiling this collab, once your part is absolutely properly done, send it to shaunmcglinn@gmail.com

-if you have an idea already then post it, this'll stop people from doing the same sketch/segment as you (or something too similar)
-concept art and ideas are always welcome so send em to the wonderful backalleys dump
-be funny and take your time dont just have a giant dick splurt on the earth or something
-name suggestions would be nice
-if you wanna be involved just say so unless its like a week before we compile
-if you say you're gonna make a part and you don't make a part u. r. gay
dibs on the preloader
awesOME, june sounds good. how many co authors can you do on NG these days?
max no. of authors is 10 i think
An edit here: I've already got an idea of making a silly segment where the end of the world is depicted as some stupid video game.
I already have an animated idea here: http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/12...79X8y_quetz.swf (http://www.thebackalleys.com/dump/files/1217/579X8y_quetz.swf)
whats the format gonna be? like the previous tba collabs where its jus a movie wit a sketch or is it gonna be a menu collab?
i think it'd be better as a full movie
i wanna make something like in 2012 god comes down the earth and talks to the ppl
fun assured
um i wanna do one
Definitely willing to contribute some voice work~
the posse expands, awesome
rtil could you sticky this so nobody forgets about it pretty please
I really want to, but I stuck at [animating] people, so if I can think of a good idea that doesn't have that much of that, then I'll enter. Put me on standby I guess, I'll know in a week or so.
(I'm not that terrible)
maybe ill make a part once someone finishes something
How long would we have? Because I might be interested
yeah lenko should make the preloader we dont want people clicking x before the movie loads
Im booked pretty solid right now, but if I get some freetime yea Id be up for this.
My idea is that God comes down and clarifies that it would only be the end of the world as we know it and transforms the world into a bad flash there.
im gonna go with meteorite
This looks fun! I'll do a piece.
Quote from: mexifry895How long would we have?
read da post noobie
i can contribute vocals and singing if desired :]
Ill work on mine one of these days during my spring break cuz im not gonna have time to do anything after that
in fact, If I have not submitted a part 7 days from now that means I wont make it.
idea for my part: a 50 year old man is about to lose his virginity just moments before the world ends
Quote from: CoolDrMoneyIm booked pretty solid right now, but if I get some freetime yea Id be up for this.

aside from the god coming down to earth part (which i think we'll be seeing several times) this isn't even close to what i have in mind so that's cool + it sounds like fun!
calling dibs on the olympics before anyone else can
please lets all have unique parts for the love of...

Ok i am definitely in
Im in
Lizard People, I hear they run the government.
i was thinking of a short part where nothing really happens it would be like a few secs or something, some dude wit a beerbelly watchin tv
sounds awesome sign me up
video games and 14 year-olds destroy life as we know it
i hope that other australian guy joins in, i forget his name i think it was cambo or something? his parts were clever in the brawl collab we did
i was actually thinking about him, that dude is long gone
Quote from: W.A.S.I.M.that dude is long gone
he speaks the truth
Yeah, whatever happened to Cambo?
he hasnt been around since 09 so who knows!!
who's gonna be first to post something?!?!?!?!
ill see if i can do something this week
wasim i like your idea, i was thinking of something similar but it was too complex and involved new years eve
BP yours is good too although ive never seen an animation by you
um, all i can offer is my "scientific expertise" (and maybe some easter egg art if that's an option)
I'll be too busy
my idea is a man just chillin while watching the world get destroyed by meteors before his very eyes
one of the mayan calendars ends in 2012 but considering how it was made like 4000 years ago or something i think they just got lazy and didn't bother making it go any further
I believe at it ends at 2012 but its supposed to just start over from the beginning, it is after all, a solar calendar, not a yearly calendar. Its only whack jobs that think anythings going to happen, based mostly on the ideas of people who aren't all that disimilar to L. Ron Hubbard, promising an age of spiritual enlightenment and whatnot.
the sky will turn red with the blood of infidels being drained from the land
and then fuck all will happen
Daran and I were brainstorming and I was gonna do one where the monolith from 2001 Space Odyssey comes and everyone turns into fetuses in space and they're like 'well this sucks'
Or something like that
My idea for a part was to have Biden tell Obama that the Polar Ice Caps are melting and that the world will end so Obama's solution to keep the icecap from melting is to put all the world's air conditioners at the North Pole to keep it from melting. Idk where to go from there.

But it uses a shit ton of power so all the factories working harder and are belching out more smoke which makes it worse anyway? Uuh

Its not like its going to be a serious part. lol
i have just done the voice track for a part im doing, now to start animating HHEHEHEE
anyone started anything or at least got some ideas running through their big ol' heads?
I have a vague idea as well, but I probably won't be able to really start much until mid-march or so
Quote from: vegetaBP yours is good too although ive never seen an animation by you
thats because im learning flash this semester
this'd be my first legit animation
Quote from: Fleemy idea has to do with hank hill and japanese monster movies
the world has not honored propane
Cockpocalypse
cock pox
chicken pox on your cocks
from now on i wont be able to make something up until late may due to my finals. hollahollahollaholla
if we run out of time we can extend the date, let's not rush ourselves if we don't make the deadline.

BTW lenko you can put me as the compiler on the main page, i got flash cs5 my computer handles stuff pretty well and i don't mind downloading and compiling it all.
you can send the FLA files (when part is absolutely done) to shaunmcglinn@gmail.com or just try and catch me on AIM: blordow if i am on.
I wanna join in too!
I can offer voice and any audio mixing.
My idea would have been similar to Joey's I guess. I would have a couple/ two best friends going up to the roof of their apartment complex with lawn chairs and some brews. They sit down and knock their drinks back in silence. Then, in the distance, there is the sound of an enormous explosion, followed by a growing ball of light on the horizon. The two companions put down their drinks, don shades and hold hands. As the wave of brilliant destruction disintegrates the world before their eyes, one of the two is seen mouthing, "wow", their words drowned out by the noise of the apocalypse before they too are reduced to nothing.
But, I can't animate. Je suis triste.
hehe is there any sort of punchline 99? or they just die and that's it?
isn't the punchline the fact they were looking forward to the apocalypse/being really casual about it
There is no punchline. It's just what I would have done if I was faced with an unstoppable demise.
Quote from: SapphireI wanna join in too!

i would gladly accept some help with that!
here's my idea, or what i've got so far, it will probably change a bit
2012 comes along and everyone on earth finds themselves in a huge room with god infront of them and a whiteboard behind god. God tries to sort out who's gonna go to heaven, who's gonna go to hell and who's just gonna stay in limbo for eternity. Then he realizes that there are way too many humans and bitches about the reproduction rate of our race, he says "fuck it" and everything goes back to normal.
thats just the very basic outline, of course, i will make it more interesting than that.
edit:
here's what i had in mind
i want to make a short about everyone being in heaven with god infront of them and god is trying to sort out people who go to hell and those who go to heaven
then there will be stuff like "Would i go to hell if i had sex with an infant?" "Yes" "But what if i was forced to do that by someone who said he would kill the infant and then me?" "Then you were forced to do so and go to heaven" "but what if i.. enjoyed it?" "hell"
in the course of the short, god will send every person who had something to do with abortion to hell and towards the end, decides that there are too many people to judge and just uses that flashlight thing from man in black and returns everyone back to earth. God is really really upset about humanities reproduction rate. At the end of the flash it says "one year later" and you see god watching the news on his TV and the news anchor says something like "ever since the incident last year that made every person on earth who had something to do with abortions disappear, and us deciding that we won't allow abortions anymore, the birth rate on earth has trippled" and then god just flipping the shit
it'll be kinda long but there won't be too much animation and not too good art, so i can get it done.
sounds good man! looking forward to seeing it.
one of my parts will consist of a bunch of gang members ganging up on a young boy, demanding he hand over money otherwise he will get his ass beat, but the boy has no money so the gang have no choice but to pummel him. but the 2012 mass awakening event strikes and all of a sudden the boy realises it's all in his head and he can literally do whatever he wants without being afraid anymore AND that's all i am going to say for now cause i don't want to really spoil it all
sorta a rough idea
i thought about the story to mine a bit more:
an intense firefight takes place in the middle of an abandoned chicago- the main character does his best to avoid enemies and kills a couple of the remnant enemies as the troops are dwindled down to just 2 people- he and the enemy, and the enemy fires a single round at the main character. time slows down as the enemy's bullet grows closer and closer to his skull- he knows he's done for. while the bullet approaches, he looks back on what happened in the previous year that led to humankind's demise
2 supercomputers developed to become the ultimate chess machine had challenged each other, the 2 computers were renamed in each country to counter their opponent- Korea's g0D and Japan's D3v1L. The supercomputers made a strain of consistent stalemates, and soon, the bots grew smart enough. They were through being the pawns of a bigger game- they took control over individual countries and their information, each taking half of the world's population with them, as they combat each other to the bitter end.
"aaaaaand here we are at the bitter end. I can't help but see this as some of my own fault........I... I was the first one to actually suggest that this might happen on g0d's stupid fan forum."
screen displays message post-
"LMAO what if they took control and went all skynet on our asses rofl xD"
zooms out to a million people at their computers around the world chanting in random formation "LOL"
screen switches back to the action- bullet is almost there
"I am an idiot."
main character dies, the enemy jumps around like a typical CoD player and brags about him being the last man on earth- and dies to a martyrdom dropped by the main character
NEXT ROUND STARTS IN:
9999999999999999999999999 years
Ive storyboarded a faux 50's sci fi movie trailer about a giant pineapple.
i wish i actually had a good idea for this

didnt you said this was your first animation.... ever? it is what it is but idk if you are able to make it happen
^
no offense but that is ridiculously ambitious for a first flash
Quote from: vegeta^

if he doesn't try to do it all serious and the story delivers well he can pull it off
just give him a chance
its not terribly ambitious imo, especially with the time available
i was thinking i could cram that all into about 90 seconds
maybe less
Ill be uploading some character designs tonight when I get home from work.
And here they are.

awesome you going to have voices for these guys or wha?
Quote from: Blordowawesome you going to have voices for these guys or wha?
Yeah, I will be needing voices. Its really only 2 or 3 lines all up.
ok the theme is officially changed to scuba diving muslims
http://www.demotix.com/news/608896/muslim-...rays-underwater (http://www.demotix.com/news/608896/muslim-scuba-diver-malawi-prays-underwater)
I have an idea for mine but I can't think of the punch line...
Basically the cartoon is montage of a ton of things getting destroyed and a huge skeleton Death splits open the clouds and rains fire down and all this chaos is going on and one dude is dodging everything, jumping over cars, using people like shields and running for his life...then gets home and makes a sigh of relief goes to his room and kisses his "---" because its still in one piece. I was going to put his anime sex doll but I'm not sure if that's a good joke...what's something else that's retarded that he could be kissing??
His computer monitor with his facebook open.
cvg if you want that punchline to really work (the unexpected awful object), you should have him constantly protecting it throughout the cartoon, in a box or something so the audience wonders what it is. maybe just carrying it with him, but sometimes putting it at a higher priority than his own safety
is this still going? cuz its almost june and nobody really did anything yet
ye well Ill do somethin when I have time but I dont have time rite now ok??????
hah I can't get motivated to start my piece, there's a few things I need to learn how to draw D:
I'm on standby

i think you're on the wrong website
Quote from: sevQuote from: W.A.S.I.M.is this still going? cuz its almost june and nobody really did anything yet

haha true indeed
i thought starting a collab would motivate me to animate, boy was i wrong loloLlolOLololOlLO :[
Poor Blordow, dont be sad. Actually I AM working on my part its just not enough to show off yet :]
Got a Tablet at work now so Im starting my animatic. Will probably need some voices soon.
dinky-dau sent me his part. it's good!
i shall be extending the deadline. if you make something, make sure you post it here that you have, as well as emailing the fla. even if you want to show people what you've made to help others get inspired (i think that helped alot with previous collabs) plus we can get a general consensus which parts are shit and which will make the cut CARRY ON
also forgot to mention about fonts: if you're going to use them, please flatten them down in their symbols ( ctrl + B ) or send me the font files attached with your .fla, THENKS!
Sounds good Blordow! Btw I'm still working on mine! I think I'm going to make it once the guys runs through the chaos he gets to his anime collection and proceeds to make out with it.
i got an idea
essentially obama wakes up one morning brushes his teeth gets dressed eats breakfast sits down at his desk and presses the big red button of armegeddon which causes the white house to fly off the face of the earth as everything gets bombed to shit
he then pilots the white house to a new earth and goes to bed
I'm just sayin, if you guys are takin more people, I may do a part if I can think of anything
This BETTER not be cancelled >:C I'm working in my part already errr
if it does, you can always upload your parts individually.
if people want to make parts i'll take em
i promise i wont do a shitty job putting it together this time
DrRumack what is your old name if you have won? all these peoples name changes got me all confused when i came back
won? wtf i mean one
mrscriblam
is this still ongoing or nah
nope
this shit is DEAD
don't peep ixintro, I can see you
rest in peace, may as well de sticky
I'm so disappointed
