PAL FPS

I'd like to confirm with , PAL framerate is aorund 23 or so correct!?

Not 25 as Nero has it(fucking retarded Nero, cna't even make VCD's correctly)

Flash in Cinema

How long till the 1st flash feature length movie gets into cinemas? we already have tv shows, adverts, dvds and such that are in flash...

one thing about flahs in the cinema would be the big screen possibly showing the rough edges of drawings and such..... also lack of surround sound ( flahs done'st do surround does it?) unles they have a seperate remasterd surround sound version of the sountrack playing seperatly...

who knows (aqua teen hunger force movie in flash?)

I doubt it will ever happen. Most feature-length cartoons are 3d nowadays, and when they arent, theyre made by some super-duper $1m programs. Sure we have adverts and cartoons made in it, but Flash just isnt made for the Feature-length end of the market :P

I thought I'd share this fantastic short animation I came across the other day.

How Long it Takes
This has just been on my mind for a while. I'm currently working on my best flash in graphics, smoothness, jsut about everything. I've done about 500 frames out of my ~3500 total (It's a music video btw.) I've been working on it for about 4 days now. I expected to have done more, but real life gets in the way. :P

My question to you regs is, what's the longest amount of time you have worked on a flash?

If you're in a major city it shouldn't matter. As long as you LOOK old enough. I don't go to the city too often but if I did I'd probably know a few places that don't care. Boston is probably the same way.

RE:Flash in cinema

Well, I'm afraid that aint gona happen....yet.
But I think that when newer versions of Flash come out, new features will be available and....well, who knows. Maybe we will be enjoying some stylish cartoon made in Flash in a cinema after a couple (decades?) years. Castle 3 has been quite damn cinematic already.

But I bet that it will be owned by the power of 3D.

This is why England is so much better. The only places that will reffuse crappily mae photocopied passports with the date obviously changed, as ID is big supermarkets. With the smallest shops, anyone can buy alcohol.

1 year. Coming out next month.

(but lol... only 3months was spent working on it)

RE: Flash in Cinema

Flash won't be in theaters for a long time because of how fucking hard it is to manage .fla's that are two-hour-long movies. as for advertisements, it's a possibility i guess. i haven't seen an animated advertisement in a theater in a while, though, excluding previews.

RE: Flash in Cinema

Well, with classic animation dissapearing fast, Flash maybe the only alternative to non-computer animation. People are starting to resort to Flash for many T.V. shows. It'll only be a matter of time before Flash abundantly hits the big screen.

RE: Sobriety
I'm still enjoying being 99% teetotal. And though I remember pointing out the pure financial benefits of teetotality, it's still a personal "I hate the taste of alcohol" thing for me. That and alcohol really needs to be drunk in groups of people (drinking on your own is a BAD sign in my books), and I hardly know anyone bar my coworkers up here.

RE: MX is teh bestest upgrade evar
I'm going to agree with Lu that MX is possibly the single greatest upgrade of Flash I've ever seen. The difference between versions five and six has totally been worth the upgrade fees - although in the long scheme of things I think the upgrade from Flash 4 to 5 was more important. Wasn't that the upgrade where they introduced variables and that whole actionscript thing?

Still. I'm happy with my Eight. And probably won't upgrade to nine for a while.

Oh, and I got my broadband installed today. So I'm back online.

RE: Flash in Theatres
My guess is never, maybe at most 1 or 2 from Flash. Flash is a web-based rich media platform, and was truly never first designed to be a professional studio animation program (it's buddy Shockwave was there for that). However, Flash became the more popular media, but is still not as well equipped computationally to handle heavy loads as shockwave is.

My guess is that if anyone was seriously hardcore enough to want to make an animation for the theatres, they can learn the tools that will get them into the spotlight. And seriously, I bet a lot of Newgrounds folks would have that ability.

From Wiki:
Motion pictures are typically shot on film at 24 frames per second. When telecined and played back at PAL's standard of 25 frames per second, films run 4.2% faster. [1] Unlike NTSC's telecine system, which uses 3:2 pulldown to convert the 24 frames per second to the NTSC frame rate, PAL results in the telecined video running 4.2% shorter than the original film as well as the equivalent NTSC telecined video. Depending on the sound system in use, it also increases the pitch of the soundtrack by 70.67 cent — ⅔ of a semitone, which only the minority of people with absolute pitch will notice.

However, some movie enthusiasts prefer PAL speed-up over NTSC's 3:2 pulldown, because the latter results in telecine judder, a visual distortion not present in PAL sped-up video. [3] This is not an issue on modern upconverting DVD players and PCs, as they play back 23.97fps-encoded video at its true frame rate, without 3:2 pulldown.

Software which corrects the speed-up is available for those viewing PAL DVD films on their computers, WinDVD's "PAL TruSpeed" being the most ubiquitous. This method results in a slight decrease in audio quality.

having a file at 23.97fps, nero converts this to 25, and inthe procress fucks upt he file horrificly ( instead of changing the speed, the sound appears to to stay in the oriognal fps and the imagery alters, thus causing the final product to go out of sync.)

Anyway, don't matter now :P

mianly cuz i got a work aorund way :P

Feature length Flash

forgot about this :P

Ethnicity in Flash
This rises out of the Kenney Game that just released, do you think this game is racist at all? A game with a drunk Irishman is no big deal anytime time of the year, but a game with someone from Mexico/Spain fuels angry comments. I am not really inclined to say there is any stereotypes in there, and I think people are getting worked up because they want to. Remember that racist language is not allowed on the BBS before making a reply.

Didn't just one person pick up on it being racist then others branch off? It's about as racist as it is fun.

There's a bigger deal here and that's when will Kenney stop making these stupid little sellout games. What really annoys me is he could probably make something decent just isn't, and I wish he would. Read his interview on BWS and he says how he loves video games. Well what, where the hell is that? Stop making these silly little things kenney and make something you really wanna please :(. I used to have WebCam dress up on my favorites when he was Altera.

Re:Feature length flash

That was very cool Snox, or Hashbrown. That'd be such a bitch to do all that, I wonder what the reception and all was like after, blatantly it isn't gunna beat a Disney movie, yet the guy spent ages on it alone.

Kenney the sell out
Yeah, I've noticed a lack in his effort, I mean that mexican game was pretty fun and all, but its the kind of game I make, he should work on some really cool side scrolling shooter game or another turret defence game.

And ya know what might be fun? Having the reg meet in Toronto! C'mon here in Canada we got lots of beer... so c'mon dudes!

I don't think anyone actually claimed it was racist. Looking through the reviews, it seems like one guy said it was racist as a joke.

After that, it's just folk saying, "waa?!! racist?!! NO IT ISN@T!".
So I personally think maybe Kenney's simply courting that sentiment for the sake of a laugh or whatever.

Ethnicity in Flash

Wow, that's really dumb. When I go to my local mexican restaurant, you know who I see working there? Mexicans. And when I go to my local chinese restaurant? Chinese people. So if Kenney wants to make a mexican food minigame, what character should it feature? Wait I know, let's make it an african american jewish woman. That's PC, right?

That depends totally on whether or not she's in a wheel chair and is a lesbian.

Racist

If a black guy makes fun of black epople, thats not racist... if someone makes a racist comment about british or americans, thats not racist..

it's only if whites make fun of chinese or blacks it seems to be a big racist outrage..

how nonsencical.

Meh, I saw some reviews yesterday about someone's wife being a Mexican and how he was upset, I don't see it there anymore.

Racist

Why was it so racist just because it was mexican. Everybody uses white people for every other flash, that seems a little racist too then! But seriously, everyone can walk over white people, but if a white person so much as draws a mexican eating a burito, look out!

Hell no. You'd get hit for anti-Semetism. Somehow the Zealous Order of The Politically Correct will find you and GET you.

On a serious note, the racism thing's already effected how I want to scriptwrite my series I'm working on. It's hard to have discrimination of any type in a creative piece (for storys sake and done with taste to prove a point) without SOMEONE being offended by the treatment of a character (which should be the point, if they didn't entirely miss it).

But I think I've got a workarround that'll make everyone happy...

lol, imo someitmes they do, omG racist comment!

I dont think that flash what racist, it was crap, its about a mexican catching mexican food, i dont find it offensive, and mexican ussually make fun of ourselves anyway, why would people think it is racist, because it has typic clothes? he had ot point out it was mexican with some culture stuff, didnt he? anyway the game concept was unoriginal, the same as that oen in which yoshi had to eaat the cookies and a fox had to catch chicken eggs i had on my gameboycolor, in the end, you can find racism everywhere, and that doesnt mean it was meant to offend, like all those commercials with blue-eyed babys.... i guess people make a bigger riot when it is a mexican or a blck, etc than when it is an -irish- to say something, because as far as i know white people have never eben discriminated (its supposed) and latinos have.

omG another racist comment shoot me!

I'm from Mexico, and i played the game, i didn't feel offended, there's not a reason to say it was racist. It used a stereotype of mexican people, that is used very often in all the world, and no one gets offended when it shows the same style of character in a cartoon show, for example, Speedy Gonzales.... Because theres absolutely no reason to say it's racist.
