I'm a 20-something British animator based in Halifax, NS. I've been animating since I first found Newgrounds, and am now a graduate with an Animation degree. I've worked for Sun and Moon Studios, A Productions and the BBC, and I hope to do a lot more!

The Sketch Collab 2011

Posted by Timsplosion - January 2nd, 2011


Yes, it's back! The fifth annual Sketch Collab starts now!

Check out the previous collabs: 2007, 2008(Daily 3rd), 2009 (Daily 4th), and 2010 (Daily 1st).

The idea is to create an animation that appears hand-drawn. Look at all those little doodles in the margin of your schoolbook, the random pieces of nothing much that you draw when bored, what if they could move? What would happen? THAT is what we're looking for. If you want ideas/inspiration, watch through the collabs above and see what I'm talking about.

RULES

1. NO PORN/ SEXUAL CONTENT!!!!
2. Obey the specifications given.
3. You can use your own sounds, but I'm adding music, so don't make sound vital.
4. No sprites
5. Sticks are allowed
6. Must be FBF - some tweening can be done, butkeep it to a minimum
7. Dont make rubbish parts
8. Stay active in this thread, post every few days or so at least.
9. Please tell us if you're dropping out, don't just disappear.
10. If you do not obey the specs and you make a part, you must create a new one no questions asked.
11. Either make it compatible with CS3, or buy me CS4. You choose.
12. Use as fewer layers as you possibly can.
13. You must include a signature at the bottom right of your part

SPECS
Stage: Standard, 550x400
Background: White (see below)
FPS: 24
Time: 5-40 seconds
Deadline: 1st July - you got time.

Background
About this. You need to download the background graphic from here. Stick that in the bottom layer.

PARTS:
This year, I draw the line at 18. More than 18 people may join and make parts, but only 18 go in the main collab. If we have more than 18 good parts, then we'll have an easter egg with them inside. That sound ok?

Maybe I could give it a go :)

Deadline seems like a long time for parts that are usually just outline art and 10 seconds long.

I know, it's mainly due to school. I've got a lot of exams and coursework and everything coming up in the next few months so I won't be able to give it my full attention all the time, but it's at a point in the year when I'll have had plenty of time to help people, work on it, maybe get the first of the parts in.

That, and it also means that people who would otherwise submit fairly bad parts can get advice and have time to edit them, and polish them up to, not just a good standard, but a great one.

I want this to be the best Sketch Collab so far, and greatness shouldn't be rushed.

hey dude,i want to joint :)

yeah ,put me in :D

How can I join? I'm in!

Ah, yeh, forgot to mention, for those who want to take part, it's best to go to the forum thread.

It's currently still on the first page of the Collaboration forum, so it's not hard to find.

If I want to give it to you, how do I do it or where do I leave it?

You use the "Dumping Grounds" uploader that's on your "Account" page, and give me the link so I can take a look.

By the way, colors can be used or only black?

Haha, Saw your web comics.
Funny stuff, Man.

The Scott Pilgrim one made me laugh.
