View Profile Must throw Javelin
Make an animation where a Blue figure comes in from the left, preferably falling, things happen of your choice, then the blue figure exits on the right, must be throw.
Video Editor/Compiler: Lithium
Due date: None currently :/
Open to suggestions
How to make your animation better?
May I recommend you guys don't all animate the same thing? Sure it's cool to animate a stickman killing another stickman with a javelin, but spice it up a bit. Add originality, the stickm an could do a dance with the javelin or do acrobatic tricks with it.
Also add effects, it'll make the collab in general much more pleasing to watch. Trails, blood etc are all simple effects you could use
RULES:
[SIZE=3]
FPS: preferably set to 16.
Dimensions: Width: 640, Height: 360 (For youtube HQ)
Remember to Sign your animation.
No background rules.
Blue figure MUST be thrown out the rightside at the end of the animation.
ENTRANTS: No set amount. [/SIZE]

View Profile Okay if you're going to be compiling pivot animations it doesn't matter what framerate people animate at.

View Profile This is new, definitely new (at least to our current community)
Haven't seen a pivot collab in quite awhile, not since dark demon.

There has been a Pivot collab overtime. There's been a few back in FA, one was finished (thanks to SDanimations). Here, there has been many failed ones. So a Pivot collab is not so new.

View Profile New in the context that the community now hasn't really seen one of these in awhile; FA's pivot collabs are irrelevant in this case.

View Profile But still, it won't be much of a success due to past Pivot collabs. I doubt that it's going to grow unless there are pivoters that are willingly determined to finish their parts before the due date (if there is one), or if there are supporters that wants to advertise the collab to gain more support. Besides, the majority of those who joins the Pivot collab are going to be mostly beginners. The reason that there hasn't been many Pivot collabs because there are prone to be less successful. Trust me, I have seen them before.
Not trying to offend Javelin or anything, it's nice to see that you're trying to make a successful one, but try not to let this die like previous collabs, that is if you are determined enough to carry it along, as well for those who joins this.

View Profile Just saying, if you guys make the dimensions 640x360 I'd be able to better render the animations in HQ, because those dimensions stretch to fit youtubes HQ ratio :p
Up to you guys though, 640x360 would be better dimensions however. Also I'm up to joint with someone :) Might get Sharpshooter and some other people from DD to try and enter something small too!

View Profile I've been waiting for StickPage to make something like this. I can't really say if I have enough time to make an entry, since I'm already signed up for a bunch of other projects, but I might be able to get something done. Idk if you want to sign me up for it, but either way I'll see what I can do.
@Xero: I think what your trying to say is that the stickpage pivot community is not active enough for these to become successful. Which could be true, but you'll never know until you try.
@Shadowkirby: There has been plenty of pivot collabs, but the reason some of them turn out un-succesful is because most people who are supposed to make an entry don't because they're too lazy, or if that's not the problem, then it's because the organizer of the collab can't find a flasher willing to put all the animations into a video. A lot of the successful collabs have been organized over at DarkDemon so you may not have taken notice to them. I haven't seen many stickpage pivot collabs though, so I know where your coming from.
