alright first off BEGINNERS ONLY BUT NOT SUPER SUPER FIRST BEGINNER BUT OK

Heres how its going down

Terms: No frame limit, must use all 8 characters in piv animation,

you must use their powers suggested below on zeds 2nd sumbit,

it will be due Wednesday next week, and it must be at a sensable level

of blood and or gore, No limit to frames per second, and dimensions

will be 500 by 200.

Extra Details: The animation is your character vs the 7 other characters

fighting in this comp, and you must use their powers the best you can(examples are good)

and if any more questions feel free to ask.

This is the PM I was going to send you before you posted, but I was too slow typing:

Right, there's a few things you need to get right about this to avoid getting flamed. Lots of people will read the AA section and if the competition isn't up to scratch they won't like it.

Firstly, make sure you say that it's for Pivot in the title. Put "[Pivot]" at the start and then continue the title.

Second, make it known that it's for beginners, otherwise we'll all be ****ed over by the likes of PF0.

Third, needs more specifications. Set a canvas size (standard is about 300x600ish I think but try some stuff out and see what looks right). Also, I really don't think "Spartens" will go down well. It's too similar to the collab that CJ is running and we'll look like flash wannabes. It's also near impossible in Pivot. A fight is fine and will still allow you to use yours, but make it along the lines of two guys on the same team killing a load of others.

Fourth, give a reasonable time limit. Most of these things go over a week or more - hours just doesn't give time for people who aren't logged in. A week will be fine for this.

Make sure you check out the stickies in the AA section to see if I missed anything.


Give me a second and I'll rephrase what you've written to make it clearer.

Edit: oh yeah, and I'm in.

Zed the noob educator is here!

Oh, and If he obeys you I'm in with the name of krome.
Also My weapon is a double sided spear with detachable blades. (easy no?)

Also, make the deadline longer.

ok im in. my character doesnt have a weapon but his special power is time- stopping (represented by a color-reversing effect) i think everyone should post a short anim showing what their character can do and what they look like. and PLEASE make the deadline longer or i'll quit, i just cant get it done by thursday.

Curses. My standard favourite weapon would normally be juggling balls but I can't ask you guys to animate that if you don't know how to juggle. Or how to use the things as weapons for that matter.

It's best not to triple post. There's an edit button in the bottom left.

Heres an example of my work:

I'd have done something with a relevant power but I'm temporarily denied access to the computer with Pivot on it.

I'll be on again tommorow and I'll have a good five hours to work with. It's just being used by a small child with homework tonight so I'm confined to the old slow computer with no programmes.

Couldn't find him on minecraft and he's not actually active here so I don't know where he'll be. The beauty of having a longer time limit is that it doesn't matter. He'll find this thread with pleanty of time to spare before the deadline, don't worry.

404 error with yours, teh animator.

And five days is fine - he's good and active.
