Red Ronin 24 Hour Collab!

At the beginning of this week I animated a short part for Redharvest and Ricepirate's latest 24 Hour Collab, which was just posted today... it's already earned daily 1st which is awesome, thanks everybody who watched and voted! GO CHECK IT OUT!?

Having to work within the 24 hour limit (or roughly so, for some) was not only a good challenge AND a good workout, but turned out to be a great way to learn some new tricks on the fly. I tried out VCam for the first time and I was instantly pretty pleased with it... while there are some things that I want it to do that still need to be done manually (like panning backgrounds at different speeds), it's definitely a time (and brain) saver in a lot of situations.
I also discovered that even the latest version of SWF2Video (the best program I've found so far for rendering flash to various video formats) doesn't co-operate with the latest Flash Player version. ERRGH.

This was also a great opportunity to check out a lot of artists that I wasn't familiar with until now, I have to say I was pretty impressed with much of what people were able to pull off within 24 hours.
I've been working on a few longer things for quite some time now, but this whole experience and the chance to get some practice (and feedback) definitely inspired me to try to join up with more efforts like this in the near future. YAY COMMUNITY!!~~

TL;DR, watch the collab here.

Yo Minus,
Your part was fucking awesome. You got any solo projects planned?
Seriously, I wanna see lots more of you, damn it!

Is it really possible to create high quality flash in less than a day?

*(Watches Flash)

....

Apparently so!

W00t~!

RiverJordan 2010-09-12 00:28:54

Gotta say, your part was totally my favorite, so crisp and sexy!

The art is VERY Final Fantasy inspired.

Those Ukiyo E style title screens really takes the cake. It makes the ensemble seem more tranquil yet delivers a sense of Power!

There is no ferocity to his eyes. Such is the power of "No-Mind" a state of mind every Samurai Warrior strives to find.

Fight without Anger, without Sadness, without Fear.

Such is the discipline of the "No Mind".

Thanks JBK!

At the VERY last minute (well, last 2 hours anyways) I decided that I had to make room for an Amano tribute part.... having never tried to emulate Amano before, but having read through tons of his stuff, I have to say that the part that has always struck me most is how he deals with facial expressions in the context of his visual tones.
The "No Mind" pretty much sums that up, I think.... when you really look at some of his concept art, you see that somewhat often as a recurring theme.

You should start making more stuff man, I loved Cranes and also your part in this collab. :)

redminus 2010-09-12 00:33:01

I do have a lot going on right now, but hopefully soon I'll be able to be as active as I've been planning and get a good number of things up on Newgrounds. Looking forward to seeing more of you around too!

redminus 2010-09-12 12:49:46

Thanks! The next thing I'm up to is your Madness collab, though I do some voices for the Edwin series also.

PM me about SWF2Video if you're interested in knowing a little more about its practical applications... I've had to trial-and-error my way through the flash-to-video-to-flash process and NO ONE ELSE MUST ENDURE THAT ORDEAL ALONE

Loved yours man, very well done.
There where some other good ones in there as well, but yours stood out the most to me.
(looks at all the comments)
and it seems that I'm not the only one who thinks so.
Keep it up!
