View Profile I can't promise an animation but I'll do my best to join in and spread the word.

a) What is the Great Stickpage Animation Project?
This is a collective of animations that is aimed towards breaking out of the stilted restrictions of stickfights, technical pretension and joyless animations. The only rule here is that you be creative and post whatever you want. Every round, I pick a theme, and we all make a cartoon based on that broad theme. The more innovative the interpretation, the more fun it is for everyone.
b) Oops, I'm late. Can I still join?
Absolutely. You can join whenever you want.
c) I want to animate, but I'm not sure I have the time. I might not do it even if I say I will. Is that ok?
Yes. No commitments here. You post if you want to, and if you have time. No one is holding anyone responsible for animating here.
d) Can we give CnC?
I am allowing discussion but not criticism. This is NOT a place where you get to play 'Animation master' and tell other people what they need to do to make their animations better UNLESS they specifically request it. This is a place where we're all having a bit of fun, and we're trying to expand our creative horizons. But feel free to discuss any of the animations that you've seen. We can talk about it openly. The only CnC that I want to avoid are the types that totally disregard imagination or creativity and focus just on the technical side of the animations.
e) How long does each round last?
It really depends on how soon everyone feels they can do theirs. We'll keep it open for now and see how many entries we get. Take your time. As long as enough people let me know that they are working on it, I have no problem for keeping it open for as long as required. We might even opt to start the new Round while still keeping the old round open. I'll just make separate spoilers for both rounds on the front page if that ever happens.
f) Is there a limit to how long/short animations can be?
No. Whether it is 2 seconds or 2 hours, go ahead and do it.
g) Can we go joint project and collabs?
Go ahead. Do ANYTHING you want.
h) What software do I use for my animation?
You can use anything. I don't care if you use stop motion on toilet paper to tell a story or convey a creative thought.
i) Can we make multiple parts?
Yes, you can do WHATEVER you want.
Note: I'm putting this up here cause the first post was too long as I added entries. This way, I can keep it all here and just link this post to the first one.

View Profile Hah, I'm so in this, and I'm going to drag everyone I know who can animate (who are active-enough SP members) into this

View Profile Well I think when the general mods come on they'll probably move it to the community projects section either way, since it kinda does belong there. But it being in general for now is fine, since it is an idea that spawned from a Chat Thread discussion
And this way maybe it'll attract peole that would otherwise overlook it

Haha easytoon. I really loved that shit but I had no patience for it. Would be great to see it back in action. I remember a troll-pornographic toon that you did of Soroku getting fucked, but it was removed for being obscene. I'm not even sure if you remember it, but we almost died laughing.

You can do it on anything whatsoever. Would even love to see you do animated 10 second excerpts of your written work, provided it fits into the overall theme of that week/month.
Interesting indeed
Lets get some of that sprite action into this.

That's a pretty neat idea actually. I think I'll do that.
I think that I'll end up downloading Pencil and exporting the animation as a .gif or whatever works rather than getting flash though. I found that I uninstalled it ;-;

Pencil sounds good, we need a lot of variety.
But yeah this is the kind of experimentation I'm talking about, with the excerpts from your story. I want it to be an animation collective with NO rules where no one is scared to post anything and willing to break (or enforce) any rules that they want.

View Profile Alright, this is nice idea. The whole "no commitment stipulation" is also a plus, I would definitely be in.
