I figured a deadline was something I'd come up with if people actually replied to this, which I doubted would happen.
Let's say March 20th.

why burned toast?
why not something politically relevant, a satire if you wish, or even something comedic? what about a short story with meaning, depth and value?
why fucking BREAD?
sinitron bread is great what do you have against bread

Compromise: how about a short story with meaning, depth and value, that just happens to involve toast?
goddam i just realized how much this forum has really changed like how many people who frequent this place nowadays even animate

i like the burnt toasty idea btw
i'm down
why does the toast have to be burnt? its so morbid.
mmmm maybe I'll do something
btw what is this collab for? The dimensions are too big for newgrounds and too weird for youtube.
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
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) (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/593739) 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.
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.
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.
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?
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.

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

can we get this thread retitled? can I do it? let's make this the official viral distribution concepts thread.
just say the word
finished my part
LeetStreet Boys - Yuri The Only One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=189QSTKC5no#)
k lets do it. maybe we could even create a viral distribution firm!
sincerely,
that dirty idealist,
the rat
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.
i don't understand ;_;
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
lets put it on a reel of 16 millimeter film and cut it up into 15 frames each then put the separate strips into numbered glass bottles with corks and tie the corks to little strings and the strings to the backs of commercial fishing boats that end up on that show 'the deadliest catch' and wait to see if those guys collect all of them and put them together in between getting killed to catch crabs
Let's make each segment 365 frames long and dress up as monsters and ghosts and etc and sneak into peoples' closets and wait until the middle of the night when they're trying to go to sleep and slowly creep out and whisper the description of a frame into their ears while they try not to turn around and look because they know it's in their heads if they don't look it will go away it's not real it's not real it's not real it's not real
we could just make this collaboration about mario and sonic, that'd get viral pretty much on its own.
But all joking aside, I actually liked redm's first idea that spawned this discussion the best. Especially because of the VHS tapes. Since it's such an out-dated format, people would get curious and it would be taken less light-hearted. The reason for it being taken a little more serious (with more potential of news shows picking up on it) is that putting that shit on a VHS tape is more effort than what people would expect, hence the curiosity. If it was just a DVD people would be like "well that was interesting time to throw it away now".
Just saying, if we do end up making this collab, the VHS idea is the best one imho and if we are doing that, then I definitely want to be part of it, regardless of the collab's topic. I'd also love to see some creepy-ass-visuals being added in post-production to make the VHS seem like it's very old and been seen a lot.
at the very end of the collab it should say "7 days" or something btw just to make people freak out and us laughing our asses off, if it does get somewhat big.
How about a bunch of really short, really creepy collabs, like 30-60 seconds max. Release a whole slew of them, spam them everywhere.
We could make an audiobook and release 15 seconds of it on a cassette and then wait to see who finds the cassette and then spam them with numbered cassettes with only 15 seconds of audio each so they just show up on a pile on their door.
i like that audio book idea too mostly because i like the idea of just chucking cassette tapes at someones door
we could throw old nintendo 64 cartridge packages at random houses and people would be all excited to see why someone is giving away their tony hawk's pro skater 2 or mario 64 or rayman 2 and then they'd open that shit up thinking either to play it or sell it on ebay but turns out it's just anthrax inside
in purgatory we would be handing out mysterious pamphlets which could criptically reveal the location of a secret projection room if read by the savviest of savvy animation enthusiasts, where they would show everyone in the afterlife that was smart enough to figure that shit out a vast amount of alternative flash cult films
in the middle of said collection would be a near-impossible to find easter egg (you'd have to click on m bison's dick) and that would finally take you to the spam collab we made (called 'comedy to die for' ironically) and i get the feeling that this whole ordeal would generate a lot of #buzz for us and make #networking much, much easier #entrepreneurship
it's gotta be final hentai 7
we should produce a staggering amount of material but never actually show it to anyone and let it just rot in our hard drives for our own enjoyment, (this is what i actually do and take it from me, it works wonders)
how about we go to a book store and but hentai in bibles.

AND PS MAYBE PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY LISTEN.

We could form cells in our individual cities. Us BackAlleyans make all this shit, blah blah. Each of us could have our own particular distribution methods according to the various peculiar distribution media with which we can work; tapes, homebrew 64 carts, vhs, false crime scenes with encrypted urls embedded in the dna of the blood left at the scene (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_B%C3%B6k#The_Xenotext_experiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_B%C3%B6k#The_Xenotext_experiment)), homebrew GameBoy carts, homebrew dereamcast discs.... etc etc. Once we have products en masse, we just get our friends together and do insane citywide mobs hitting every building possible with as many insane things as possible...
rather than do an actual stupid collab about burnt toast though, we make mindboggling creepy shit embedded with as many fucking subliminal images, ideas blahdy blhady blah as possible which will convey nothing but pure positivity. fight club but with an anarchy of peace.
this is what i get for getting excited about burnt toast
