101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007


While we were making a list of ‘101 signs that you do too much flash’ in Tthis thread the idea came up to make it a collab. The response was very positive so here we are :)

This collab isn’t open for everybody, but if you want to join there still is a chance. Keep on reading..

First of all we are going to decide which ones on that list that is going to be in collab. I will post the original list right after this, on that I have removed the ‘signs’ that didn’t fit for animating and rated the ones still left on the list (the more plusses, the better I think it would be for animating).

I’m not really sure where we go from there, but I think that it would be best if you look through the list and make suggestions. I will then take your suggestions in consideration when choosing.

After that I will ask the users who came up with those ‘signs” if they want to join the collab. This is where those of you who wants to be in the collab have your chance! If he doesn’t want to join there is a spot open, and if you have been active in helping me choose which ones who should be in you have a bigger chance of getting that spot.

I don’t know how many ‘signs’ there should be in the movie, but I’m thinking of maybe 10-20. I will decide this later.

The requirements:
FPS: 24
Dimensions: 550x400(default)
Length: 10-30 sec

Btw, I’m going to make the first sign that I came up with in case you wonder why it’s not on the list.

Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

This is my first try on a collab so bear with me ;)

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007

if someone else takes that one I'll gladly steal number 63

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007

I wish to do so so bad..

Can I have 92

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007


id love to do 19.


root of all evil.

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007


I'll take 53. That was my suggestion, and I imagined an animation for it in my head already. =]

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007


Sorry for the double post, but can I also do #39?

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007


Hey this looks cool :D
So we pick a number and animate the 'sign your using flash to much?'

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 17, 2007


Ive never participated in a collab before, so how would i send my peice to you?


root of all evil.

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 18, 2007


So I have rethinked the idea a little, I have now simply taken those that I think is best and they will be in the collab. I have contacted those who came up with the ideas and they now have two days to answer before I give them to someone else:

# Author Status
1. DreamworX Accepted
20. edit-undo No answer
35. Fion No answer
41. Vengeance No answer
52. Vengeance No answer

If any of these decline or don't answer for two days the spot will become available for someone else to take.

I'm now gonna give everybody else who wants to join the chance to take any of the remaining numbers. However, to keep a somewhat high standard to this collab I have some 'demands':

1. Tell me in general what you are gonna make.
2. You need at least one flash on the portal with a score of 2.50+
3. You can make a maximum of two parts.

That's all for now :)

The easiest is probably to send the swf by email or msn. But since this is my first collab too I'm not sure ^ ^

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 18, 2007


Woot i coallify.
I have 2 flashes both over 2.50

For my peice #101 it'l have like a home movie effect where the camera focasses then the guy will be like
Guy: OK.... um.... Beyonce, (counts on finger) SuperFlash Br... CRAP!!, um...James Farr....

JF made xombie

The list will go on for about 7 seconds then the camera falls and the screen goes into static

I've also have to say the people won't be as bad graphics as my previous flashes cause I've been practicing for about 2 months and finally understand hair, shading and crap like that

And for 63 it will be basically what it is You complain in Art class that your pencil doesn't have smoothing. It can't get much simpler than that.

Hope that's all you need to know

Um i think you need the .fla so you can put it together Also I'm pretty sure we need someone to make us a menu :3

Ok, you're in :)

I have been thinking of a deadline for this, but I'm pretty swamped at school now and I also have another project in flash going on so it might take a while before I have time to make my part and putting together the collab. I will come back to this later.

Also, another thing.. It is ok with violence, adult themes and so on as long as I wont be having to rate this for adults only when I submit it.

I tried importing a. swf into flash and it seems as it becomes a mc. So I don't think the .fla is needed, but everybody in the collab should be ready to send it to me just in case.
I was thinking of making the menu myself, but as I said in my last post I'm pretty swamped. I will see later if I have the time to make it.

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 18, 2007


I'd love to do number 25!

I will send you a private message with my idea for this, in order to keep it between you and me. Seems like a swell idea, this collab and I'd love to be in it. I meet all the requirements, I've got two flashes with a minimum score of 2.5. Thanks in advance.

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 18, 2007


I haven't decided yet if Mushaboom can join the collab, but I asked him for a preview in the next couple of days and then we will see. Number 25 is reserved for him until then.

I didn't see that Vengeance already claimed one of his suggestions. I still wait for an answer regarding the other one, until then:

Hope the list looks a little bit better now :P

I just need to find myself a voice actor.

That's probably something most of us will need in this collab, so if any voice actors sees this you are welcome to help out ;)

Response to 101 signs.. Collab! Mar 18, 2007


Hmm, first screenshot of the background, gimme some feedback/things to add. I don't want to make it too busy, though.

101 signs.. Collab!

Also, I think my ones were:

16.When you're bored with no computer access, you start coding little tidbits with pencil and paper.++

[although feel free to correct me if I'm wrong]

I'll take 14 and 20 if I'm allowed to, k? Although I'm currently very busy so if I'm not going to be able to complete it I'll let you guys know. When is the deadline? Also I'm a crap animator but I wont let that stop me...

That's excellent :) Please tell me what ideas you have for the animation, you can do so in a PM if you want. I am too very busy at the moment, so I haven't set a definitive deadline, I will come to that later when I know when I can make my part ;)

I'm not that good at animating either, but I will do my best ^ ^
