Each person animates fighting (obviously) with close to moderate range melee weapons.




Each person will do a different weapon so that the collab is entertaining, and fresh throughout the whole movie.





As of right now I think the weapons should be :

Kitana -

Staff -

Warhammer (BIGass hammer)

Nunchaku

Chain/Whip

Throwing objects (shruiken, kunai,)

Spear

Duble Claws

Arrows

Scythe


Door -
Two swords maybe?



I would't expect all of these to be filled, but it would be nice to see alot of them being done.

--------------> UPDATE: School is getting out for me soon, which will give me much more time to animate. If there is a weapon not listed that you want too do, than please say so.

If you are IN, send a PM, or just say so in this thread.


The dimensions will also be decided at a later time, i would assume 550x400 and 24 FPS.

Pivot allowed? Elaborate moar.

If you need to see how experienced i am

Its a really nice idea though.

I can get my part converted in to a swf for yah, but 24 is a bit fast for pivot... Im usually around 17 fps.. but meh, ill try mah best.

Also, i thought you said this was a melee weapons collab... whereas "Shruiken" and "Spear" are potentially long range.

Heres a list i found..

too unoriginal in my mind. good luck though.

You just had a name change? :P

I dont see how pivot wouldnt be allowed if you can get it in the right format and dimensions. Perhaps your right about the some-what ranged weapons.

Uhhh... Shouldn't that be Katana instead of Kitana?

probably, i didnt look it up.

i though it was called a Katana? :D

Oh ffs, its katana... everyone knows stop repeating it and get on with the bloody collab.

If its going ahead... I'll be scythe!

I could import a pivot into flash then use a vcam to zoom to the correct pivot size i think.

Ill be staff.. Im not too awesome with swords. And a staff (Can it be like.. a wooden staff?)

Lol pivot in flash with v cam sux.
the pixels will get the sizes of tumors.

If i export the gif in regular size then it will be better quality i guess.

is this actually going ahead... because i don't really enjoy my time being wasted....
