Another flash animation challenge?

Imagine_This · 09-21-2007, 9:55 PM

I really like seeing what people have to offer, and I really liked the other animation thread, so why not make another?
In this thread anyone is welcome, and the deadline to join, is after the first round, as would be said for the other thread.

But starting off I wanna see an animation with two people sword fighting.
I myself am not that good at animating, it takes me forever, and I have no patience for it.

But post some good stuff of swordfighting, and may the best animator win.

Task 1: Two characters swordfighting.

What the hell, you don't have anyone signed up and you've already started with the round one, without a specified deadline? Confusing shit !

Imagine_This · 09-21-2007, 10:22 PM

When people post saying they want to join, I'll start after I have around five people animating, and 2 judges.

Want to be a judge?

I think people seem to have a lack of will to make an animation for a contest (look at the last contest). I think this has to do when animating, it's hard to get into the mood sometimes, especially if it something you don't want to do (IE: My breakdance one) it's that much harder to follow through, so in the time I could be doing something I don't like, I think I'd rather do something I do like...

Imagine_This · 09-21-2007, 10:39 PM

Well since I wanna just get this underway, make something you like, and depending what other people make, we'll go from there, but specify to me, what you you will make first.

I love flash contests but I'm really confused?

Could you specify what's going on because I'm lost.

You should really plan this thing out before taking off with it.

Which is (sadly) why this contest will not go anywhere :-/

Joho The Hobo · 09-22-2007, 1:06 PM

I'll join. I'm not good at animating, but I want to get better, so this can be practice. Hopefully the unorganisedness will keep the good animators away.

Arielcz · 09-22-2007, 2:32 PM

Good luck getting enough people. I'd love to participate, but sadly I don't have any animation programs.

exetra · 09-22-2007, 10:09 PM

Ariel: MS Paint + Imageready + ???? = Profit!

I'd be in if this wasn't a confusing as fuck badly organized thread.

Imagine_This · 09-22-2007, 11:39 PM

Shutup!

I just really wanted to make a new challenge animation thread..

Someone apply to me personally through pms to be a judge, and I will appoint them, and if you wanna join, just say so, and when I have about five animators, and 2 judges, I'll start the first round, and I want swordfighting... damnit!

Tyler_Legrand · 09-22-2007, 11:54 PM

The last flash competition I was in, my team's animation won the first round for inexplicable reasons since it obviously sucked so much in comparison to the opposition, and then I lost the second solo round because the judge's computer was too slow to play my movie without lagging.

hardcoresk8r69 · 09-23-2007, 5:18 PM

Well I'm in if this contest actually lifts off the ground.

Far · 09-23-2007, 5:51 PM

I think the problem with these is that when you "win" you don't actually get anything. So when someone signs up and doesn't get around to do anything it's no loss at all.

Imagine_This · 09-23-2007, 6:35 PM

Still need two judges, haha..
The prize.. is knowing that you're the best.

Jamez5000 · 09-23-2007, 8:41 PM

If you win a contest, it doesn't mean your the best. It just means you have either had more time to do the animation, or you may be better at drawing a certain scenario. It will not determine the best, but to show skill which other could have as well.

Imagine_This · 09-23-2007, 9:29 PM

Well you will be best in this thread. Problem solved.

Kevosk · 09-23-2007, 10:03 PM

I'd like to join once you get it set up.

I think what I said has flown over your head.

hzac · 09-24-2007, 4:04 AM

This is going to go anywhere until REAL planning is involved.

CharlieH · 09-24-2007, 4:13 AM

O.K.

This seems to be going nowhere. So far, people who have expressed interest are:

Kevosk
FrantiX
Joho the hobo
Exetra

I'll be a judge. Imagine This is as well. Thats the judges positions filled. We will need at least 5 people to make this thing worthwhile.

Anyone else, post here and once there are five people willing to have a shot, i'll start this thing. DON'T PM Imagine This, he seems to have fled.

Imagine_This · 09-24-2007, 3:22 PM

I haven't fled.. -,-
I was at school, you ass!
Anyway, we need two more animators then to take liftoff.

PyroOwned · 09-24-2007, 4:01 PM

Since this thread has turned to shit, go to the newer one. It doesnt have retards as judges.

Imagine_This · 09-24-2007, 4:04 PM

No way, we're gonna kick your booty.
