Eh, that was odd. One thing I can't stand about NGUP is that the simple fact is you can change the ID to any number and find someone else's file and work and somehow steal it.

Gahhh.

Nice, where did you get them done? I have some stuff I've done that I want to make stickers and tag my school :3

Obviously I made them myself :P
Just printed them with my printer.

Voice Actors

I actually have no idea where to find a decent voice acters. None of the movies ive made have had any decent dialogue or required a voice actor, but now im working my flash unit at uni (yay), i wanna do it professionally and get some good quality voices in there.

Where do i go to find decent voice actors, and what do they usually ask for in return? Money? if so, how much ish?

There's also a few resources on NG.

Read the stuff about posting auditions. If the project's a quality non-profit one, decent VAs will be prepared to do a part.usually

That better not mean a decrease in one penguin games artwork creation. Though, a bit of a hypocrit seeming as I haven't worked on it in a while. =P

Swf to Mov

Erg...I use flash 8 but the real time export in flash cs3 is so appealing. I'm not considering buying cs3, but does anyone know any good swf to mov converters?

Preferably free...

A plugin would be nice...

There is none. Its quite possibly the worst experience you'll ever have in flash. Doing conversions to mov / avi / whatever....

Your best bet is to use a screen capture app. I there's a pretty good free one out there, but I can't remember what it was called. I think Depredation or someone recommended it.

I havn't seen Depredation for a while. Last I remember he joined the Nuke Bros then kind of... vanished.

The only method I know of is by going through .avi 1st. I use swf2avi, and it captures nested movieclip anims and everything maintaining the same experience as when you run your swf. Then you can use premiere or blazemedia pro or some other video editor to make a .mov from the .avi.

The real milestone value is lost at 3k..there's nothing awaiting you. No one promises you are going to heaven, since you get that at 2k anyways...The next one is around 5k, then 10k. It's too far away to even care.

I don't know if that's true. I mean, if you consider someone with less than 2000 posts or so, then I guess that's true. On the other hand, I look at everyone from the General Forum with equal distaste. The weird thing though, which is partly related is that level icon means even more [not including if you have the gold aura]. I think you look at the level icon and somehow feel like high = more posts, but I've seen so many people recently with 100 or 200 posts, but there a level 30 or 40! It's really weird and discombobulating. That's all right. Only two weeks till about 21.

There is one. Right in flash 8. Go to File > Export > Export Movie but change flash movie to quicktime video. Works on a mac anyway.

Or... Download CS3 free trial.

It does have it, but it completely Ignores AS and Movieclips which is why the real-time recorder for CS3 is so very appealing.

LOL

You got to see that.

Already did a few months ago for the same purpose. But it ran out :(
I'll keep looking.

Thanks for the tips guys.

If any of you particularly British people watch TV, can you look out for this ad and tell me if you see it on TV?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PGV4Zo8r zI&NR=1

It has a snippet from one of my animations I made back in college.

Seeing it all the time. At least four times this week - that and it's sister advert.
Which bits yours?

Having said that, I know instinctively it's the penguin at antartica.
It's not going to be the Brave Little Toaster...

Haha, I wish it was the brave little toaster. I watched that movie biweekly through most of my childhood. Except the electric blanket always scared me.

Hehe, small world. I'm going to use that little bit of useles knowledge next time the opportunity presents itself.

Also that advert reminds me so fucking much of Adam Curtis.

Woah! I have seen that ad!

I only just realised that your penguin was in it xD.

I think the ad is very clever, using recycled clips ;P, nice find :D!

That's pretty cool, I like it a lot. I'd say make the buttons and things a little smoother in animation, it just makes the site look even awesomer. The picture on top is great too.

Step Up 2
It was surprisingly good, and for those of you who think break dancing is pretty cool, you should definitely go check this movie out. The movie was mostly dancing and not too much plot, but the truth is the dancing was a plot, and the stuff they did was amazing. Recommended.
