I'm thinking of starting up "Collections" again, but a lot less shitty. "Coolboyman Collections: The Next Generation". Hopefully there's some people here who still do flash who go here that would like to contribute something.
So here's how I'm thinking of doing these:
- I will pick a theme and you can do whatever you want in your flash as long as it fits the theme. It won't be a TV show or a celebrity this time, just a theme. You know, it'll encourage originality instead of making abysmal parodies.
- 24FPS, 800x450, Black background
- Length doesn't matter. 2 seconds or 2 minutes, whatever.
- A lot less gay sex.
I'm hoping this will encourage people to practice in flash. Just wing the whole thing and HAVE FUN. If it turns out shitty just learn from your mistakes and make your next flash less shitty.
Let me know if you're interested. Go ahead and suggest a theme, as of now I'm just trying to see if anyone would actually do something for this. I enjoyed making collections back in the day, and putting together a collection with actual fucking effort would be a lot more enjoyable. I'm hoping this will be fun for me and several other people!
i have no idea for a theme, but i would do something short and sweet for this just to do a little animation practice and make something hopefully cool to look at for a tiny bit.
I would like to join whatever this is/will be.
Awww but I loved the ones with the gay sex. They still make me laugh.
But I'd totally be up for something. I need to get back into animating.
I'm up for it. Gimme a theme and I'll we'll see what happens.
Wow I'm getting a lot more than I anticipated! I'll come up with a theme and a deadline sometime this week. I can already tell this collab will be great.

Haha. Gay sex isn't banned, if you want it to be based around gay sex humor, go for it. I just don't want the collection to be solely limited to gay sex humor like the original ones were. I still find some of the original collections amusing as well.
you must be at least 800 years old to watch this flash movie
if i have time i might crank a thing out in a day.
not sure on a theme other than puppies with socks trying to put on shoes so that they can go to work but they're puppies so they can't hold a pen to write down the important things at the job that they cant even do.
I am up for whatever this thing is.
theme: fat asian preteen having her first period
theme: everything falling apart literally
theme: everyone was doing this so I followed suit
theme: 420 smoke weed everyday
lol So many great suggestions, I don't know which one to choose from! :D
theme: a thread dying before it gets anywhere

I'll contribute to this, sounds fun and little animation snips are easy to get done :)
WHATS THE THEME MAN?
cool man baby
Alright we have a theme and deadline.

The Yoga Pants Collection
Flashes are due May 20th. Plenty of time.
No fucking rules or limits except your imagination... and the fact that it has to do something with Yoga Pants... and the FPS and dimensions of the movie. THAT'S IT!
I'm thinking we can make these collections monthly.
this sounds like a fun theme to work with. ill start on mine once i get back from school on the 16th.
I think I'll have it be my dad going to yoga doing something horrible to the women or something.
When you say 'black background', do you mean it's got to start and end on something with a black background, or that the entire clip has to take place in a void.

When you say 'black background', do you mean it's got to start and end on something with a black background, or that the entire clip has to take place in a void.
it just means that you need to use a black stage-background. This isn't too important, unless you want to have parts of your flash without any background whatsoever - if you want to do that you would have to use a white rectangle as a background because otherwise it would just be black.
also I'll see what i can do, I've been rather productive lately.

are bad loops acceptable
Oh so that's what's going on in this thread. Cool, I had a positive effect in the making. *pats self on the back*
this is a good idea we should do this
we are doing it
Count me in
I'm also working on my flash movie (a short one that starts as a throwback to my older collections but then does its own thing), and a spiffy menu.
I got an idea for this now, just a question, should I finish first, can I upload it to my YouTube channel or do I have to wait 'til release?

Go for it, it's your movie, do what you want with it.
I got one entry so far, how's everyone else doing? Does anyone need an extension?
If theres an extension, I may be able to do it. I finish school tomorrow
Quote from: CoolDrMoney on May 15, 2012 11:55 PM

How about May 30th. Would that work for you?
Maybe! I am moving June 1st so towards the end it will be a clusterfuck! All Im saying is if its by the 20th theres no way but if its by the 30th maybe!
I've made some progress, an extension would be nice though, been busy.
How would June 10th work for both of you?
It'd work for me since I lost everything I just did!
Ok new official deadline June 10th.
Sounds good.

What a truly beautiful and moving flash.
But it has nothing to do with Yoga Pants so it's disqualified.
have u seen what the apple is wearing UMMMM M
thankfully, my daily exposition to creepy things on the internet has desensitized me to this awful shit
oh, and 2:20. watermelons grow on trees, kids!!
Hows everyone doing on their flash movies?
i've got my idea now, it's just gonna be a short loop. got the roughs it'll be done on time
Got a good idea for what I want to do, but just got a lot of work to do, I'll try and get it out in time.
No idea if mine will be done on time, probably not. I've got the idea down, but it a little beyond my ability and experience, which is none.
Animating is a lot harder than I thought lolololsob
a lot of the time people just submitted still frames or things just tweening around. you really don't have to put a lot of effort into it. these collabs were notorious for being "spammy".. so i wouldn't worry about the quality tbh

I think you get a message in your inbox that you want to be a collaborator or something. I'll try it out now.
So yeah everyone who's contributing tell me your Newgrounds name. Or if you don't want to be co-authored that's totally cool with me too. Whatever works.
My name is Kooh on newgrounds.

Just log into your newgrounds account and check your private messages. You should see an invite, click and approve that. That's all there is too it.
Also a new NG account, cool. Want me to co-author that or your nonzop account?
Edit: Apparently the thing is glitched and wont let me add Dinky to the list.
Why did Newgrounds have to make this more complicated than it needed to be?
why is it because there's a dash in his name or somethign

I am definitely interested in doing this again.
Also, if the collab invite still won't go through, it's cool if you want to post it anyway, since it took so long to get this finished. I'll probably just post my bit on my Youtube channel later anyway.

holy shit it takes forever for a flash to get out of judgement now
Your experience gave you a voting power of 4.82 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 4% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 5.01 votes!

flash is a dead format
newgrounds must die with it
flash is far from dead, >99% of machines connected to the internet have flash installed, and youtube's default format is flash player.
however, major developers are in the long, long process of trying to kill flash. once html5 becomes standard, flash will eventually die.
i hear ng is trying to expand the file formats they take so people can upload movs and mp4s and other shit so itll be just like youtube except without everything that makes youtube successful
also throwing out ideas
the farm animal collection
the batman collection
the steve jobs collection
the rocket power collection
the breakfast collection
the egypt collection
the family circus collection
the obesity collection
the danny devito collection
the school bus collection

in the past people have submitted video files inside of swf's that were featured. now they can submit them in their native file format, which is better for the video and the viewer because flash is horrible at compressing video. i'm assuming they are generally looking for cartoons animated in flash with post work done outside of flash, but they're probably so desperate for content they'll take anything at this point.

Well, the first two I saw was one by Harry Partridge, in which his story was that the .swf file was too big. I couldn't watch it it lagged so much. The second was edited in part by after effects, and I'd already seen it on youtube. I've seen others but I've had to wait for them to load for so long it wasn't worth it. They all play in the highest quality they can, so most have been in 1080p, and there is no way to change that. I think every single animation using the player is rather on Vimeo or YouTube.*
Tom said he wants only animation , but as rtil said, he's desperate. I believe he's been contacting students and basically asking them to put their shit on NG.
*edit: The exception being LUCKY DAY FOREVER (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/596083)

Infomercial sounds good.

Not my doing, I swear
So...
...is anyone up for a collaboration now?
My only suggestion so far is a days of the week collab. Everyone could pic a day or maybe do a whole week or something. But that's not a simple (ADJECTIVE) NOUN prompt so it could be confusing.
i mean i'd love to, but it requires someone to organize it and be competent at actually organizing a collab. i personally can't do that right now, but if someone else will take the banner i will contribute.

Hey all.
I didn't know people were still interested in making more of these. If we choose a new subject and people participate this time, we can have a new collection.
