New cartoon battle

1

OK, looking as it might be a walkover in the monster battle;

creating (in flash only, without the use of scanners or any other software tool)

a character animation, looping, of 5-15 seconds, in flash, with an appropriate background, under 30k. (with sound, top it up to 100k)

and to top it off, make it the same dimensions as a 3 panel comic strip, say, 200x650.

theme to be decided by a mod. so come on mods, get this one rolling too, give us a character theme, and an event theme.

hehe, chew on this one :cool:

let’s put it this way, i did a rip off of weebl with a soundtrack and sound effects + dialogue which lasted about a minute and that came it at 53.8k.

oh yeah, maybe a bit longer to do this one, maybe two weeks ?

bumpety-bumpety-bump

I’m in… Do you actually want me to take this seriously this time and worry about things other than comdey… It seems creativity doesn’t reign anymore :frowning:

Anyways… 5-15 seconds… Looping AND under 100k? 200 X 650 Pixels… Okay… I get ya… Shouldn’t be to tough… Since I won’t be worried abou my game creation I’ll have time to do this one.

Later on.

why not, i’d bet we’d see vastly different stuff to the characters battle, and then there’s the question of optimisation and the rest of it to fit it into 100k i dont think that’s too hard really, i mean, episodes of weebl come in at around a 100k anyways…

6

If I can think of a decent idea, then I’m in too…

7

bump (again)

come on, surely there must be some more interest in this one ?

8

Why not? If a mods decides to show up… :phil:

Im by far no cartoonist… but what fun would it be if I was :slight_smile: count me in.

10

If flash noobs are welcome then I can give it a try, tho Ill admit Im still really poor at Flash, hehe… Anyone got an animation tutorial around? :o

funnily enough :wink:

12

thinking about it, to the mod who eventually gives us some rules, make it 3 weeks or a month. means peeps can really go to town on this one.

13

Dagnabbit, since no other mod has stated some rules, I’ll put my neck out and do it.

I’ll post a new sticky thread up in a minute. If anyone disagree with the rules / subject / date etc, then please voice your opinions below. :slight_smile:

14

I do not have anything to disagree with rules wise, they are made to make it a challenge, not to challenge them. But um, my name is Sraet :slight_smile: (Its Tears backwards, hehe) not Straet :slight_smile:

[Edit]Can I browse the web for graphics to use? I am not very good in that department[/Edit]

15

hmmm, that could end up being very b3ta

Question about what to do here… I am kinda new to this, being not only my first comic attempt but my first battle of any style… There is no way it will take me the whole time to make acomic, not really expecting to get even a single vote, but Ive spent most of today designing my character (tough task for those of us graphically impared) and working on adding simple animations to it…

Question is, what do I do with it when I am done? Wait for the turn in day or just post it up here to be collected or … ?

17

Just wait for the turn-in date :slight_smile:

18

First off, please accept my apologies for spelling your name wrong - I’ll go and correct that on the Battle thread in a second. :sure:

Secondly, all you really have to do is make your 5 - 30 second cartoon, then post it (or the URL that leads to it) up here before the end date. These all get put into a poll and the good people of the forums place their votes. :slight_smile:

19

I’m quite looking forward to this, should be interesting :wink:

20

Interesting… Yeah, I’m still desperately trying to think of an idea along the theme.

And the stupidest thing is that I came up with the theme in the first place. :smirk:
