READ THE WHOLE FIRST POST BEFORE EVEN STARTING TO TYPE A REPLY.
Okay, this collab will hopefully be epic and I'm only letting in good animators so if I don't recognize you you'll have to post an example of the quality of your work.
And yes, it will work, because it's well organised and if you **** up then there will be penalites.
Collab Type:
This collab will be done in the pass-it-on fashion, and is for DarkDemon's Modded Version of Pivot ONLY. Yes, I changed it, because of .stk figure requirements. T_T
Animators will be passed the .piv in the order that they joined unless requested to have an open spot specifically.
The Story:
It will be an actual story in the end, so animation parts MUST MAKE SENSE. However, there is no set storyline; you can create it as you go. Only three rules here: You must not destroy the planet and/or all life on it (remember, someone has to continue the animation after you; give them something to work with), you must NOT start an entirely new story, EVER, and you are NOT permitted to edit other people's parts.
How it will work:
I will start the collab, then pass the .piv on to the next user, who animates their bit and passes it to the next, and so on, until it is passed back to me, where I will finish it and then post it. THE ANIMATIONS MUST NOT BE POSTED, SEND IT THROUGH A PM OR IM. ANYONE WHO POSTS THE ANIMATION WILL BE ****ING DECAPITATED (or given many warnings, if I can get a moderator to endorse this, otherwise just hated by the legion of good animators that may join manthu has endorsed the claim of warning of doom, BE AFRAID).
.Stk Figures:
You are permitted to use background .stks and props etc, but no high quality guns because they don't match the theme. Be sensible with your backgrounds too, please. Everything should match the theme, but you can change the theme depending on events if you want. I will demonstrate such a change in my part at some point. All characters in the animation will be default sticks. If you use text in your animation use the default "alphabet" .stks that come with pivot 2.2.5. I will upload these at some point for people who don't have 2.2.5 as well as DD Hack 3 beta.
Required Skill Level:
You should be able to animate smoothly and skilfully, with high levels of accuracy and detail, with a background. If you know you can not do this, do not bother trying to enter.
Here are the first few frames (thirty or so) of the animation, animated by me, to give you an idea of what you're dealing with:

Quote from the JawzOkay, NEW RULE.
EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO JOIN MUST POST AN EXAMPLE OF THEIR WORK. (unless you're already in, then don't bother)
Tagging:
When making your animations, be sure to remember to include a name tag/signature. This defines who made what part and I REALLY don't want to have to go around adding tags for you. Any animator that does not tag their part will not be included in the credits. Instead, I'll just put a ??? even if it's obvious. I don't care, it's your own ****ing fault. Don't complain.
Eventual Presentation:
When I have finished the ending, I will flash it, and add music, and sound effects, a loading bar, menu, credits, etc. All animators will be credited.
Anything Else:
If you want to be in, just post, I will consider everyone who posts here, but please don't waste my time. If you suck at pivot, and you know it, don't bother.
However, if you don't get in, and still want to contribute, feel free to post ideas for events that could happen in the story. You never know, someone might just add it in somewhere.
Animators in (in order of animating):
There will be fifteen parts, and I will be doing the first and last. So there are thirteen available places.
