Nope! This is the perfect collab for beginners :)
thank you Ive been thinking about animation for so long, I mean I did animate before but I stopped
Artist please check out my art, and musician please check out my music.
... oh yeah, we've opened the past Sketch Collab Discord server. It's not required, but feel free to join if you want to!
Welcome to me replying to questions, round two!

OpenToonz, Krita, LibreSprite (open-source version of Aseprite, *yes* pixel animation is allowed), Blender, and past versions of Adobe Flash/Animate are pretty good!

Nope! For this collab, if you're wondering, you don't need to sign up; make an entry, check it follows the rules listed on this post and the form, then submit it!

Long as it doesn't break any rules, go ahead! Genuinely have no idea how that's going to work but I'm now curious.

Any and all color in the entries will be desaturated (or, simply put, turned to grayscale) so keep that in mind!

My apologies for that latter part. We've since decided to allow people to upload their entries anywhere, provided they included either the Sketch Collab 2023 watermark or the endcard. We're also gonna be doing this thing going forward!

There are no standards at all, I promise you.
@midgetsausage it appears I read the information wrong and included the watermark in my submission. Will this not be an issue or am I in the green to make a second submission/edit my submission to fix the error?
Reading this gives you infinite luck. You'e welcome.
I just remembered I forgot to include a watermark to my submission, and I already submitted it.
AHHHHH!
past versions of Adobe Flash/Animate are pretty good!
Should've said that before I cracked open Flash 3 lol

DO NOT PUT THE WATERMARK IN YOUR FINAL SUBMISSION!!! The watermark is ONLY for when posting it ELSEWHERE online.
I just checked some of the entries, why does nobody READ THAT PART
If you've realized this fact long after you've submitted your entry, such as what happened here,

Simply submit again, and I'll delete the old one.
I've also begun deleting some entries that clearly did not follow the rules. Who agrees to "My animation is 5-10 seconds long" and posts a one second animation?

Then when you delete the submissions that don't follow the simple rules they will get pissed and whine to you for not using their 1 second animations

Hi Midgetsausage
Just submitted an animation! I hope you guys like it!

I'm considering participating this year. Hopefully I can think of something nice. And yes, I'm doing the pencil to paper approach again.
Words are just sometimes better with pictures
I should ask. Can we put our own watermarks in our entries before submitting them to the collab?

PLEASE DO NOT!!!!! We forgot to mention that we will be putting your usernames on the bottom left corner as with last year and last-last-year's Sketch Collab.
Something of note: some people put the SC2023 watermark on their entries when I said it was specifically for when you're posting it PUBLICLY and some people have also written their names on their entries too, I'll be messaging these guys by the end of the week to send in a version WITHOUT the watermarks!

You will never know. Muahahahahaha >:D
Jokes aside, the Sketch Collab has a very low bar for entry, we only really keep out the entries that flat-out don't follow the rules. (One of you NERDS submitted a 1 minute and 11 second TWEENED entry, you know who you are, we're not putting that in.) So don't be too anxious that you're not getting in the final cut.
As for project invites, we'll begin sending them once we've edited at least a big portion of the final collab, which might take us a little over a month (we are incredibly busy people) so I only ask for everyone's patience on that regard!
I don't know what "tweening" is, but the fact that I don't know what it is probably means I shouldn't have to worry if I broke the "no tweening" rule

To my knowledges it's moving a picture without animating it.
I'm not 100% sure but I think the Muse Dash title screens for example are made by tweening.

are black backgrounds allowed for 1 or 2 impact frames?

We're bringing back the Sketch Collab for another year, again, or so help us God! Hosting a really big collab last year changes a man or two.
What's the Sketch Collab? Well, it used to be about making a short animation showing what it would look like if your doodles started moving, but these days you can just animate anything for the collab, as long as it follows the rules below! If you're having trouble looking for ideas, consider watching some of the past Sketch Collabs. [<< hyperlink, Sketch Collab collection on NG]
MEET THE COLLAB HOSTS!
@midgetsausage really agreed to host this year's collab despite being under heavy academic workload! Why would he do that? Because he thought it'd be funny if he did exactly that.
@Ozone is, once again, in the middle of something (this time he's moving out of the country, evading authorities) while being a host of a Sketch Collab for the third time in a row! Why would he do that? We will absolutely never know.
Collab Requirements
(They're kind of the same as last time!)
1) As the name implies, this is the Sketch Collab.
2) The animation must be 5-10 seconds long. (If you want to go longer, please ask us very nicely)
3) Try to keep it a Teen (T) rating on NG.
4) No tracing/rotoscoping.
5.) Sound effects are somewhat allowed
VIDEO SPECS:
16:9 resolution, must be AT THE VERY LEAST 1280x720.
File type: MP4 w/ some sound effects
White background, no color (!!!!!)
For the deadline, we're aiming for November 20th, 2023.
While we prefer you wait for the collab to come out before posting your entry, you CAN post your entry anywhere
PROVIDED YOU INCLUDE THE SC2023 END CARD AND/OR WATERMARK!!!

I’m down for this! I’ll try to cook up something.
All my alright animations have colour, well a crappy two second loop of a waving bunny is good enough… yesh
