edit** WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY FULL :O
Okay, here's the idea.
I want every one of you bitches who says they can animate to make a 16 frame morph and be part of, "One Big Morphing Orgasm."
(Luis came (prematurely) up with the name.)
Here's a link to the forum!To do this shit right it needs to be organised, so I've come up with three steps to get there.
Step1.
The first thing I need is a single drawing done in flash from each person involved, it should be pretty simple but it can be of anything.
Send me the FLA file with the picture in it.
TheBoogley@gmail.comKeep your pictures as black and white line drawings, otherwise the inbetweening bit could get very messy.
Specs. 640x480 pixels.
watch the video below to see who to set the file up.

Step2.
Then I will go through the images and send each of you back an FLA that starts with your image at frame 1 and ends in another persons at frame 17.
You then morph them together by inbeweening it,
so you then draw on frame 9,
then 5 and 13,
then 3, 7, 11, and 15,
then 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16, to get a smooth morph.
Doesn't make sense? Watch the video below to see.

Step3.
Once you've got that bit done you need to inbetween it a bit more at the start and end of the morph so that it "eases in and out".
Add three drawings between frames 1 and 2,
and one between 2 and 3,
and the same at the other end,
1 drawing between 15 and 16,
and three between 16 and 17.
Weird shit, watch the video below to see it done.

What we'll end up with in the end is a continuous loop of morphing animation which people can watch and get spaced out on, better than a lava lamp, better than a plastic bag in the wind, better than a bought one.
I'm going to submit the bastard on the 1st of November and you can do multiple parts, so get your drawings in so we can get started.
I'm hoping for at least 50 parts... Is that realistic? I don't know.
I'm hoping to get parts from as many people as possible, from the best animators on the site to the guys who are just starting out and are willing to put the work in.
This is fairly difficult, but I find that once people have done this exercise, they understand how animation works a lot more... Put the effort in, I'm not accepting any old crap.

ok i'll do a few. is it like a collab or something?
TheBoogley (Updated )
Yeah it's a collabish thing.
I've given it a forum page...
