This Collab Requires day to day Activity on Stickpage.com!
Hey guys well Welcome to the "Up Smash" collab thread. To get started the collab was basically something i thought up for just my clan members to do, but i figured it would be more fun to make this a big thing with at least 15 people joining if there is more then that would be Fantastic!
This collab was inspired by the " Wombo combo" video Lol
So lets get started.
The Animation explanation :
http://www.fileize.com/view/460bd765-dcb/
So if the animation wasnt enough to explain, no problem, that's my fault for not explaining more and i apologize, but basically this collab is a giant Joint!
sounds like fun huh, well it will be. All it is, is just for you and your animator comrades to animate an animation, no less than 5 seconds and no longer than 25 seconds, that will entail you in keeping a body in the air.
Ill Q and A it for more detail
How will it It start?
The collab template will be provided on Friday March 1st, for two reasons,
1st - its March 1st and that sounds cool
2nd - It is Friday which means last day of the week for school and you guys can animate all you like on the weekend and friday night (though the collab is not due until a far ways away)
Also it will start out very basic, a single stick figure standing in a white background area.
** the catch to the start off is - THE First Person To Say They Are In The collab in the thread comments will be the first to start off -
How will this collab work?
Well after the first person downloads the template, **PM the collab instructor (Cozen) that you have gotten the template. DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT FORGET THIS! As soon as you get the template tell me and i will be tracking your days.
Tracking my days! What?!
Well once the first animator has gotten the template and PMed the collab instructor, that animator has a maximum of three days to animate his/her part and sending it to the next animator on the list. So once the First animator is completed, and if you complete the animation before the 3 days Thats Perfect! no worries, you do not have to send me a PM that you have completed your part, but i need you to send the next person on the list a PM with your finished animation Template and Remind him to PM me in the PM as well (the template will also have reminders)
Once you are done sending it to the next person it is out of your hands and in the others now. The next person to receive the FLA. Tell me that you have receivedthe file in a PM and i will start tracking your days now ( Do not worry i am extreamly active at every point in the day and will know whats going on)
Im not understand this pass on thing How do i know who to send it to?
Well thats the beauty of being active, i will be going through the thread each and everyday to see who is in
For example: if some one were to comment " OH boy great collab im in!"
and i see the comment below that say " nice im in" the i will personally track that next comment to be the person that will go after the previous commenter.
What if i want a certain somebody after me?
No problem just just say the person that you want in the collab to be after you and i will also need you to confirm on that person. SO if you comment :
"Hey i want zinx3rd as the person after me" i will leave an empty space under your name and you have two days to talk to Zinx3rd and get a confirmation by editing you post saying "He said yes" i will change that empty spot to the person that you asked to be there ** Keep in mind you cannot change your positions at all during the collab**
How do i choose my weapon and how do you keep track of things?
As i said before i am Really active! in you post when you say your in the collab select you choice of weapon or object and i will place it next to your name and also place it in the " Weapons taken " Bin and also to keep it fair i will give you up to three tries to change your weapon, because you will be only using one during the collab.
Keep in mind if you are making multiple parts you can only use the weapon you have selected or a weapon or object that is not in the "Weapon Taken Bin"
I will be constantly keeping track of this
Can i joint with someone?
yeah, just say it in the post and confirm with the other person. Joint people will have 4 days. just PM me that you guys have the file and all is good
If i joint with someone can i make another animation by myself?
Yeah, just make make another post
What about your inbox, wont it get full?
I have no life, ill be deleting messages don't worry
Can i use my RHG character?
yeah, just post his thread information and ill record the weapon he has specifically
Can i have powers?
yeah sure, just put it in your post and i record it
Can we have blood?
yeah just don't leave it on the floor or anywhere, make it fall off or disappear whatever you want, just don't leave it
How long do we have to animate?
3 days after you PM me for single animators
4 days after you PM me for joint animators
If you finish early, Awesome pass it on to the next person and PM me that your done and the next person will be tracked after you have PM'd me
If we want to make multiple parts how will you record that?
just post it and i will change the color of your first name one the list and place you agian on the list under thae last person that joined and a #2 or #3 next to your name
How many entries can we make?
up to 3
Can we make cinematic parts?
You have to have made at least 2 "Quality" parts and PM me just the SWF. of those parts so i can look at them i will get back to you immediately with the answer. I will not be the only one judging those parts others will too, once we judge them I will PM you and I've you the okay to animate your cinematic entry.
There will be a close off date for the collab to give the cinematic contestants time to animate there parts and get it into me, because the contestants have to work off the last collab entry.
What about Flash types?
Now that is the problem!
Th type should be no higher than ***Flash 8*** It another animator cannot get the file this is where i cannot help, i will try but it will be between you fellow comrades to help each other out.
Talk to me if you cant get flash 8 and ill see what i can do, most likley i try my hardest to get you up and running, if not, well... :(
