i can make backgrounds... lmao

Quoted For Truth.

Why are we having uniform shit with same building blocks? That takes away from the entire concept of showcasing other people's abilities and tastes in animation, and puts them at a stage where they can't exercise full creativity.

So what I think is this.

I like the castle idea, and I don't think we should do a pass along collab, in my experience they never turn out as good as they could have been. So, run in from the left side through a door, kill some bitches, run out the right side.
And regarding weapons, each animator should just make it so if their stick has a weapon they lose it before they exit the room. Whether it's just tossing it to the side, or it breaks or gets stuck in a wall, just make sure they don't have it with them when they leave.

I mean i can make a fixed bg for everyone. Like, I'll be the person to make the bgs..... just tell me what to make.

While that'd look good, I don't think that'd be the best idea, since everyone's parts will look similar and not sure variety.

I dropped out of the SPP contest. Can I still enter?

Ive been gone for 8 hours and already Tman is trying to steal my thread? jk
:3

Im updating the first post.
I should do the castle idea right?


And btw, I just want to say that having 3 different characters would be a pretty bad idea. I mean, unless you're going to have them all running through the castle at once, which just seems... kinda... well, hard to animate, for one, and at the same time it'd be a 3 on 1 against the bad guys, so it wouldnt seem so daring.
And if you just switch them, then it'd look really dumb, because if that guy was hiding in the castle, he couldve just gone and killed te king himself- why does he need to wait for another guy to come and find him first?
Hm.

And also, regarding backgrounds... couldn't we just do our own? I mean, if you're really that bad at it, then sure just do a line background (not as in a straight line, but a black and white kinda thing, you know what i mean, like in shock) and then maybe Tman will go over it later. Its just, if you cant do a good background that means that you cant break the background either, because if Tman DOES do yours then he shouldnt have to animate all the debris for you.


final point-
Is it a fortress or a castle? And how will it start? On top of the castle or coming in from the drawbridge? Because if we did it right, a cinematic drawbridge coming down would look very very good.


Oh, and we also need music suggestions, right?

Exilement said he could make some music for the collab. amirite.

I'll make a part if someone tells me what I need to do or notifies me when this planning out stuff is finished...I would like to make my own background though.

Soez... Do you forbid full body?

lol, I was just kidding about this collab. But video games sound alright. There was a contest on it, how bout a collab? Each person could do a different game.

I can join right? I was in the first Contest but dropped out.

that would be alight lol. mainly since i didn't ever finish my spp contest one on devil may cry, and could just use parts from that.

I don't think so, because the theme is different.

Not medieval music. Believe me, my style wouldn't fit with a castle siege animation at all.

A song that popped into my mind for an "epic castle siege" theme would be Planet Hell by Nightwish. I'm assuming the very beginning of the song would be trying to get into the castle, and then it'll go straight into fighting, and the intro for that song fits the mood for that perfectly.

The vocals don't really fit though, so I could cut the song to retain the instrumental parts and just loop those if you guys want.

Although its agood music suggestion, we dont want to limit ourself to theme music.

I don't recall saying we should, I'm just making a suggestion that I think can actually fit in with the animation's overall style, given that these types of animations are usually criticized for having generic music.

If you guys want to put in Slayer or Slipknot or any other generic thrash metal song in the background, go ahead.
