Yay... Badges...
UK Web and Mini Comix Thing 2007 today.

Got a signed sketch from PEAB0 and Weebl for buying ten Weebl Stuff Badges. Oh. And a Magical Trevor T-Shirt. Think I said this last year, but a bunch of British Animators should get together and book a table for these kind of events... I mean, Weebl's the only animator there and I know for a fact a load of people sell thier entire inventory of cheaply priced prints and sampler comics.

so anyway.. back to flash..

Collab VS Individual

more and more collabs/group flahss aer appearing now, which begs the question.. which is better, collab or non collab!?

non collab, u can have all tiem time you want but in the collab style you get 1/2 the work to do, if not less, plus the clashign of animation styles and such..

also, reg collab.

Collabs???

i think collabs are fine, infact they can be great when there's a bunch of tallent but when a bunch of people (KK) go around and submit a dozen things a day and half of them pass, that pisses me off. Some people spend weeks, or months on a flash and they come along and take about 45 minutes and make that up and submit it and it passes.

I much prefer quality over quantity

V-Cam or something
I remember once reading about a v-cam that wasnt the v-cam that you could rotate and all without image distort... do you know how is it called or where i can find it? does it exist at all?

www.animationextensions.com. Will redirect you to FatPie.

Don't be afraid to click on 'New topic' you know, it's still a flash question.

V-Cam

Since i don't have flahs 7+ i cannot use such a thing, but just outta curiosity, how muhc better is it than just using a tweened movieclip?

A vs A dos

I think most Newgrounds users base scores off the animation rather than originality. Personally, I think it was well done, though a tiny bit overrated. Also, it was probably one of the best animated icon fights i've seen.

Not alot I don't think. It's useful because it's so much smaller and easier to handle, but not anything that couldn't be done.

Sonx, try downloading and using this file. I added the camera to the library, so it may still work for you flash 7 users :).

You can actually get the extensions for Flash below 8, check the Adobe site and have a look around.

Animator VS animation
I liked the first one because it was very witty at the end, and the second one is good but it feels forced, like he was so overwhelmed by the success of number 1 that he just had to make number 2.

V-Cam better than tween?
I tried em both and much rather use the V-cam for you make a layer for it and just tween it to the positions you want and its easier to use. But it doesn't make a difference to the final product by much.

And no I'm not illiterate, from my stand point the current messages portrayed differently than originally anticipated. The thread pages move quickly and at points its hard to keep up, exhibit A of proof is the introduction of the BOLD titles in order to keep some sort of track over the messages. I don't come on for a while epsecially now because of homework and for some reason I keep getting games, today I got Ratchet & Clank Going Commando & Dark Cloud for 30 bucks all together and two weeks ago I got Black & White 2 with expansion pack for 30 bucks aswell.

...

vCamz

I didn't understand the rotatable vCam at all. I used it the same exact way I would the vCam, and I tweened those grey boxed every which way to no effect. I was very disappointed. Sure, how often are you going to use an oblique angle in your Flash? Not very...but it does add a little something. Gah...it annoys me that it didn't work...if anyone can explain it better...please let me know.

Perhaps a combination of tweens and vCams is necessary. :) Best of both worlds.

Group vs Individual

I do not like music video collabs at all. Even if they follow the same story, for the most part they can be boring. Before you get your knickers in a twist, there are some fantastic music video collabs out there...it just seems that the mass populous of them...and that being MOST collabs are...it's pretty lame.

However, such collabs like the late NG Battlegrounds are great. Luis's battle with Squeezy is still one of my favorite pieces ever. There are definitely a bunch of creative ideas out there, it is probably unfortunate that the best animators like to stick to their own things.

Also, the Four Second series collabs are ingenious. Those are so much fun...I have absolutely nothing wrong with them.

I like animating for myself. As great as the success of a group of people is, when I work alone, then I have complete control over every aspect of the flash. If it sucks, then it's my own damn fault, and I'll just have to deal with it.

OMFGRAID
So how about that raid guys?

XD

Bordem

I think being bored is the worst thing ever. Especially if you have recently masturbated and you have nothing else to do.

Drunk Drunk Drunk: P

Okay. Not only is it essential to drink as it becomes Saint Patrick's Day but also when it IS Saint Patrick's Day. I barely managed to do so but I still was able to drink tonight. I went to a party, conversed with some females and then my ride was leaving and I was not about to risk losing my ride so I left.

Saint Patrick's Day officially ended an hour and a half ago for me but some of you it ended much sooner. I can only hope they are still drinking regardless, I wouldn't mind doing the same later if possible.

Yeah im still pretty sober myself.. but im working on it.

its cause i have to finish my portfolio by monday so i had to try and act responsible.. but fuck it time to open the bar

i cant wait till masterswordsman comes in here and fucks up my buzz by reminding us what morons we are. FUCK THAT GUY.

AMEN. He needs a few more beers. Luis, when you coming to the New York-New Jersey area. I have decided if this happens I will catch a train and toss a few back with you and any others in the area.

AW! Dude, December I would sit around and do NOTHING. That is rough. If we could get Johnny in on it that'd be cool. Hes in the Trenton area though, I almost went to school around there but I know not much of it. My classes end on April 30th and then I got a week of finals, so if you're gonna be around in April that may be hard for me. If its a weekend and you're gonna be in the city than I can hop a train.

You ever drink Yuengling? If you come out here, find yourself some Yuengling. It is a damn good beer sir, brewed not far away in Pennsylvania.

Not sure what you're getting at but ok. I'm sure you're good. Only Jmtb and Neg come on here and I'm sure they don't mind. Mods are only human, and humans love to come on the BBS after enjoying Saint Patrick's Day. But yea, I bought a 6-pack of black and tan's one night, amazing. Not sure why I never bought them again.

Collab Vs. Individual

They both have upsides and downsides. Collabs, for instance, give you other people to work with (which in turn can make the animation or game better as a whole). In the other case, individual games and animations give you more time to make it as good as you can, and they give you an almost unlimited amount of time (provided you're not working on a deadline for {dare I say it} pay or anything like that).

I personally prefer working alone, but when I'm short on time and feel like a greater challenge with a team (which happens to be quite often), I do a collab.

i like working alone but what i what like about working on collabs(im working on my first now) is that you can get tips a advice from other animators and if your doing a game programmers too but i dont know what it feels like to have deadlines with collabs becuase the one im working on there not too bothered.
