directions (open to change or interpretation):
character animators must:
- post a picture of their character for approval before animating
- use animation that at least partially mimics the real world and an urban environment
- time the animation to the song and try to match its mood
- at the end of their part, include a transition from the real world to the inside of the character's mind.
- work together with their mind animator and animators of other parts to keep things somewhat consistent.
mind animators must:
- use animation that is experimental, i.e. not directly mimicking the real world, to visually interpret the thoughts of the characters
- time the animation to the song and try to match its mood
- at the end of their part, include a transition from inside of the character's mind to the real world
- work together with their character animator and animators of other parts to keep things somewhat consistent
animators of both must:
- download and use both the character and mind MP3s in their part
- follow all other directions above
even though i'm now assigning parts, we're keeping the flash tag idea because sending things back and forth between animators produces interesting results. basically this will be a joint effort, lots of passing of FLAs. for instance, after im done with the character sequence for part 1, i will send that file to the mind animator. he will then send it back to me, ill give him suggestions, and when we've put the finishing touches on it, we'll send all of part 1 to the animators of part 2, who will then animate a transition from our character to theirs. repeat this process for all 12 parts and we'll be finished. except for the opening and closing sequences, which we'll do last
this is a lot to absorb and nothing is set in stone, so for now just pick your parts!
I really like the 2nd character sequence.
id like the character and mind sequences for part two but i suppose i should draw my character first
wait bcube claimed it first nevermind
I could pick another if you want kian
I think you have more priority than me cuz youre more experimental and such
I'd do with character sequence 5 if anything!!
give me any mind part
Quote from: B-CubeI could pick another if you want kian
I think you have more priority than me cuz youre more experimental and such

thanks but
i havent even checked out all the parts yet
and im not even sure about my character
i will do these things later and then i can decide which part i want
part 8 is really interesting because the mind sequence gets cut off right in the middle
when i listen to it, i imagine it showing someone's inner thoughts when all of a sudden a knife stabs or a bullet tears through the screen and you see that the character was just killed. this could be a good way to show what death looks like inside a characters head, as well as a good way to transition to a criminal character
I would like mind sequence number three, please.

You can sign me up for Mind part01 and Character part12. Id upload a picture of my character for it but i think im going to take a bunch of photos of myself and the town around me and do some vector work based on them.

Quote from: ZeeOh, haha crap. Sorry about that, Ryan. I'll take Character 9 then.
aww i just chose that for MY second part
its ok you can have it just so long as it involves character 9 murdering character 8 and/or cutting their mind sequence short
Okay I made my choice for character animation
Set me up for part 4 Character

Quote from: GRINACEfod im still gonna do this.

Wait Rtil and Zeke dropped out?
Quote from: RyanLeReipschlägerWait Rtil and Zeke dropped out?
yes is this a problem for you
ok im starting to actually think about my part for probably the first time and ive got a neat little idea for what i want to do
so since noone has mind 4 yet i will start on my mind 5 and collab with mrat (gee what a surprise) to keep it somewhat consistent, etc.
this means i dont need to post a character
wait, a quick question
do we just work on our parts on our own or do we discuss with our partner
or do we just animate and kinda hope they relate?
you and whoever comes before/after you has to work together its a series of spontaneous mini-collabs in one big collab
this way you keep some semblance of you know coherence
oh wow, me and f0d
didn't notice that
ooh thats nice Im teamin up with Mrat for one!
But which lucky chap am I gonna be teamin up wit for the other
choos mind 4 and go with me im a sure thing to win
i guess i'll take part 11. i have my own idea for my mind part but if someone wants to team up its cool
Quote from: CoolDrMoneyooh thats nice Im teamin up with Mrat for one!
But which lucky chap am I gonna be teamin up wit for the other
Ye we gonna rock dis shit
Quote from: foodeetinlmfao sorry for some reason i thought you meant you wanted it like that in the actual collab
i want it in both lmfao
sent character concept
i have my idea all planned out but i don't think my bg will be good enough to supplement the idea
that and i feel a bit rusty animation-wise, someone give me some animation exercises or some shit
I still want char. three. When I see how the abstract mind see is I might do one.
grinace just isnt the same without his wonderful avatar
my part is finally done!
http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=t...ssaroundbd9.swf (http://img209.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tbaflashpassaroundbd9.swf)
gerkinman do you have aim? i can send you the FLA so you can start working on the mind sequence
i like the way it zooms in as people pass by
i wish i could come up with nice scene transition ideas like that
even if its a basic technique or whatever i dont fucken know
maskin
no i meant like
the idea
of how it was set up
i wouldnt have thought to have it zoom in after people pass by is what im sayin
f
Guillermo Del Toro is obsessed with that technique. Everyone of his transitions is a cut behind something practically.
I loved it by the way, Danny boy.
part 11 and 12
I still don't really get the whole idea cause no one ever summarized it in a single post and I am too lazy to read but sign me up, I guess.
any part
Quote from: Psi43I still don't really get the whole idea cause no one ever summarized it in a single post and I am too lazy to read but sign me up, I guess.
any part
once everyone has chosen a part, ill edit the official thread so it has a nicer summary
Quote from: RyanLeReipschlägerGuillermo Del Toro is obsessed with that technique. Everyone of his transitions is a cut behind something practically.
yea you're right, in fact i think i was subconsciously imitating pan's labyrinth
Quote from: notoriouspart 11 and 12
mind for both?
also, wps, newshape, and mishkamash are the only ones who havent chosen a part yet
since theres now only 1 part left, i guess we'll have to drop 2 of them. wps hasnt been online in ages so i take it hes out. mishka hasnt posted in here since the planning thread so i take it hes out too. that leaves newshape, who is busy until a few weeks from now
id give up my parts for wps
if he signs on soon
wps is away in france but uh I forgot when hes coming back!!
I am busy with driving school sorry, next 2 weeks
then I will have a gay ass part time job and get 5€ per hour, 8 hours a day, I can work up to 7 days a week.
lots of money
let me have character sequence number 10 plz
oh and anigen is my partner ohboy
um wow i just animated somethin' for the first time in close to 6 or 7 months and it felt kinda good to get that monkey off my back
but i still feellike my inbetweens have no real liveliness to them
anybody got any ideas for practicing inbetweens or something, COME ON I NEED THIS SHIT NOWWWW
ok all parts filled
hmm anyone willing to make room for wps and/or newshape by dropping a part?
Quote from: foodeetinhmm anyone willing to make room for wps and/or newshape by dropping a part?
If there are any parts left near the end that anyone didnt finish or whatever, I will do it. I'm slightly busy finishing off a small project currently.
btw goodjob on the beggar intro.
yeah I can drop a part, I don't know if I was supposed to start yet, so I haven't, I've been doing another little thing with a friend anyway.
So if Newshape wants a part, he can PM me with which one he wants. or yeah. ballsack

thanks buddy!
yeh so i guess mrat will give up a part, how bout part 9 mind?
if you guys want to start, go right ahead. just keep in mind that what you're making will be based on what the people before you have made. so you can draw your character and animate some of the mind stuff right now, but you won't connect it to the part before yours until the FLA is passed to you
also gerkinman, its all set i can send it to you whenevr
ill give up one of my parts for wps
or both if he wants
Alright f0d, send her to me email
muverearfcomicsaustralia@hotmail.com
I eagerly await it =D
Quote from: GerkinmanAlright f0d, send her to me email
muverearfcomicsaustralia@hotmail.com
I eagerly await it =D
fuck! i tried but the FLA is too big to send thru email :(
hmm ok new strategy
gerk make a new FLA with 467 frames and the audio clip for mind sequence 1. start animating with this frame:
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7508/stillnk4.jpg (http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7508/stillnk4.jpg)
and animate your mind sequence from there, zooming inside of his eye or whatever and showing whatever is goin on in that hobo brain of his.
when you're done send me that FLA
bcube you can start doing this same thing. only leave out the first few frames of yours for transitional purposes. mm i cant wait to animate mind sequence 2, i think ill be using a mix of flash and claymation
Just so im not going threw all the previous pages looking for it.
Dimensions and Frame Rate plz
550x400
30fps
Flash 8
White BG
No worries
http://sendspace.com (http://sendspace.com) ????? eva heard of summa daT???????????
zip it up, load it up, send it out
guess whos back
back again
shadys back
tell a friend

it would be pointless
why pass around an FLA that progressively increases in filesize with each new part? by the end it will be like 300+MB, no use in trying to send something that big
all my life i was very deprived i aint had a woman in years my palms are too hairy to hide
this way works as well since we aren't starting off from a detailed city just from a little eyeball etc.
or shit
So wait
If we all gotta wait on the guy before us
Doesnt that mean like none of us can start cept gerkin?
Quote from: CoolDrMoneySo wait
If we all gotta wait on the guy before us
Doesnt that mean like none of us can start cept gerkin?
all the character animators can start their part whenever they want. they just need to leave a few blank frames at the beginning for transitional purposes
the mind animators can start experimenting but they should talk with their character animators to make sure their mind material fits the character
hey uhm i believe i said dat i would maybe join dis or somethin
but
da truth is
dat i got loads of flash projects atm (2!!!!!!!!!!!)
and um
im a lazy shitcollector
what do i wait until since i got two consecutive parts?
question:
I'm starting my part but uh
in f0ds animation it looks like its day time(imo, atleast) but in mine it's night time. Do I have to edit it around so that its day time or is this okay?
Quote from: wpshey uhm i believe i said dat i would maybe join dis or somethin

lmfao
Quote from: unconditionallyguarANTeedwhat do i wait until since i got two consecutive parts?
leave a few seconds at the beginning of your character part
other than that, you're good to go
Quote from: B-Cubequestion:

i didnt mean for it to look like day actually, i meant for it to look like night. maybe i need to darken things a little
so yeah everyone should make their character parts at night
also, clouds or mist are good cuz they match the song's mood. if you want to add video static effects and such to go along with the scratchy parts in the song, that would be great as well
