Huh... whats the 16000 frame limit?
Or just insert a new scene?
Anyway good luck everyone :D
Luis that picture is old!

That's not how flash works. It's not 16000 frames per scene, it's 16000 for the whole thing.

I think you're mistaken.

And this is a pico day thread...not a "omg lets discuss the 16000 frame limit in flash" thread...

Nice, except the two pockets are at the front, aren't those type of pockets at the back of the pants/jeans, it makes him look like a dork.

good point. to the back they go.

well, the artwork looks great. but the walk cycle does not look right. he does not lift his legs at all. just kinda shuffles them. fix that and it would look very very good. well done.

Pico

overall, i like the character, except for the arms, they need work. I like the legs especially. and the background needs alot of work on perspective. I cant really tell what is it. And maybe stars in the sky.

Looking good at the moment. keep it up.

Theres a real cool perspective tutorial i remember seeing awhile ago. If anyone has that handy do share it.

The preloader will be available sometime next month. Theres no reason you need it right this minute anyway. if you are already done then you probably suck. Probably.

Well me and my partner are implementing the pre-loader into the actual animation, and we kind of need to know what it will be like, so we can have it ready.

Just tell me: Will it be anything like last years? Because if so, it'll work perfectly.

If it's completely different... than crap!

(I don't mean the play button, but the actual animation itself)

Response to Pico Day 2007 2007-02-23 02:47:54


Lmfao.. I wrote a script yesterday.. but grew annoyed of it very soon.
I'd like some parts of it, but it's still not finished and itll just end up being longer and I cba to animate anything like this..

If you lack an idea and need a halffinished script then you may use it. I left it at a point where pretty much anything could happen.

Consider the last scene to make Nele wake up in gasping shock in the bathtub and you've got everyone on your side.

Well Nele is in her bath.. crying. Slowly she’s opening her wristst.
Fainting slowly.. gettin down.. Fade

FLASHBACK.
You see Darnell walking through the halls in school.
There’s a weird kid starring at him..
There’s a second of eyecontact but darnell just passes by.
The bell has rung and the pupils rapidly rush down the halls, leaving it empty.

Only the weird kid is still there shaking of anger. He slams his hand on the wall followed by a rock he smashes against it, crushing it. He shudders but seems to be highly satisfied of his actions.

OH MYSTERIOUS.

In the class room now.. the mood seems tensed.
Pico darnell, nele and others are sitting..
The teacher is in front..

Theres an announcement:
Dear fellow students of the SeeminglyHighSchool, Philadelphia.
The every year anniversary has come soon this year, but like every year, we will be giving a reminder to the terrible accidents that has taken place in our harmonic city, 9 years ago.
As noone of you or us we’ll dare to express the horrific homicidal happenings, not even through words, nor will we tolerate any behaviour against our newly set policys.
We`d simply like to remind you, of how much had to change since the day we speak of, and therefor warn you of any similiar actions that could repeat.
You are all very aware of the consequences, it must not be stated here, of how we handle any disrespect in any form, of the happenings nine years ago.
We’d gently ask every student to settle your feelings and to keep a grip of your very own physical powers. The case recorded, has had been an accident due to the superior abuse of your human rights and in no way will there be a standalone oppinion, tolerated today.
You’re informed, You’re responsible and you’re on the right side, so stand up for it, stand straight but stand still.

Pico- this is all such bullshit.. They expect us to get the meaning of all of this, and just take it for granted.. Something is gonna happen, and they know they can’t do a shit against it.

Nele- They’re just trying to avoid a massacre.. They dont see the paranoia they’re building up.. It’s all just gonna end in a riot..

Pico – Hell.. they still have no control over the use of weapons in damn high schools.
Nobody is in charge when it comes down to an homicidal mind. They can’t prevent it.
It’s gonna happen, they made sure it will.
..

Darnell – Watermelons.

Weird kid is in the bathroom. Looking in the mirror.. blood runs down the drain. He uses his hand to get the hair outta his face which covers up a rather sick and horrid infected eyeball.

Switch to Darnell smashing his locker to closed.
Darnell – something’s cooking, brudda.
Any clue of what “horrible happenings” I gotta expect today?

Pico – I have no damn idea.. Tis not me to save the day today.
These kids are on a good way to fuck themselves up.

Darnell – Well I’m prepared for it.[putting his knife in his pocket]
It won’t rape me from behind this time.
I’ll show all dem fuckinmothers how to raise the maturity warning of this flick.
We’ll bust the shit outta any clones, mutants or emos planning to fuck the school up this year, ey?

Pico – Probably..

Pico opens the door to the bathroom.
You see the weird kid smashing the mirror, going kinda nutz.

Pico- Aw man.. wtf now?

Kid falls on his knees screaming in awful pain now.
Raising his head, exposing his pulsing infected eyeball.

He takes a piece of glass and cuts it outta his damn head, followed by grusome screams, throwing it to the ground.

Darnell – Holy crap! Dude.. what in the name of myself.. why... would anyone..

As he slowly approached the weird kid, turning his face back to pico, it already stood up right behind him, pulling the knife outta darnells pocket, slamming it right into his neck.
Fade to white...

Fade back as he pulls it out. Getting down for a big jump, both feet inta picos face,landing outta the bathroom he’s running down the hallway.

Pico is lying on the ground..

Darnells corpse is in the bathroom..

Sirences start..
Pico – ah fuck..

Gas coming from all corners. Everyone faints.

Nele is standing on the rooftop, she’s hearing the sirences and is rushing, trying to get back down through the door, which is locked.
Nele - fuck.. open up.. shit shit..

She’s hearing cop sirens and runs to the other end of the roof to look down, to see swat vans etc surrounding the main entrance to the skewl...

-She blinks-

Everything has dissapeard. she turns around and is in awful shock as the sky has turned dark, the police has dissapeard and there was nobody but her, on the roof.

The doorknob, on the other side of the roof, shakes rapidly and harsh.
Then stops, and the door s l o w l y opens up, showing nothing but black.

Well.. that's about it. It's long, mysterious and probably utter shit, but nontheless I'd rather go for something more humourous, action and cameo filled, because I'd consider my chances better with that.

Goodday
