Member of the Multi-Rounder Competition Organization
This is a 13 round animation competition that will be running for some time. It will be similar to TLTFT, except it has one basic rule: Ollie Johnson, from beyond the grave, has dictated this competition entirely.
Ollie Johnson is one of "The 9 old men" as Walt Disney called his 9 best animators on staff, working on Snow White and all those movies you fapped to. He wrote a book, along with a fellow old man, Frank Thomas, The Illusion of Life published in 1981 (I think...) to help teach aspiring animators how to handle the new art of virtual cinema. He made this "Animator's Bible" 500 or so pages with images and all, and made one simple guideline to all animators which many follow today: The 12 basic Principles of Animation. These 12 principles deal with character design, motion, and all those things you need to be mediocre.
This competition is spun around these 12 principles. From 1st to 12th will be a topic of each principle to animate 15 seconds minimum showing your skill and reflecting the principle to a high extreme, AND not misrepresenting, or badly showing the past principles experimented in this competition.

This thread is not the first round. It is a notice. The first round will begin once the TLTFT is finished so there wouldn't be two of these multirounded comps around. This thread is for planning. As you'll notice, there are 12 rounds, and in each, there are 15 seconds minimum When put together that makes 3 minutes of animation MINIMUM all focused on the quality of it. Even if you skip a few, or even a lot of rounds, the outcome will be a good duration. Of course it isn't needed, but the 13th round will be a competition of the collaborated shorts as a final, so if you plan on winning, I suggest you do the following:
-Keep all rounds' FLAs
-Plan from now, until the competition begins, how a plot, or a configuration of the final compilation would work.
-Keep an easy mindset. This will be easy. 2 weeks per round for 15 seconds. That's less than one second a day.
-Don't finalize a plan. Keep trying to improve on what you can.
-Collaborate it at the end quickly with a spiffy yet simple menu and credits.
Rules:
All forum rules, just in flash.
15 seconds duration minimum
Flash only
No Fps, Skill, Canvas size, Advertisement, or anything limits.
Must contain the animation principle in that round.
Each round is 2 weeks. It's a deadline. No extensions.
Suggestions:
-Use time wisely. Procrastination got a month late finishing grayscale....
-Learn. Get as much info as possible about animation, and use your knowledge to improve your animation.
-Remember: You don't have to do every round. You can enter for fun for a round. Just say so so we don't have to put you in for the next round. =/
-Fast credits suck
-Be a perfectionist.
