Let's make an animation

Post by Blinx »

Well, I came here to this forum expecting a number of wacky and interesting forum games, and, upon only seeing one or two of serious interest, I have decided to create my own. Talkhaus makes a movie! It's simple, we will use the force of talkhaus combined to create our own little .gif animation. Rules? There are few, and nearly all of them are open to debate. As of right now I'd just like some suggestions as to what some of the different numbers may be, but I might just explain some stuff to you first.

1. I will post the first picture in the thread, usually in such games it is either a black circle or line.
2. The next person on the list sees my picture, and creates the next frame.
3.(here's where it gets tricky) Person 2 does NOT post their picture in the thread, but instead sends it to me along with an optional 1-3 sentence description of what they did, and what they would like to happen for the next frame.
4. The key element here is mystery, you can only see a certain number of frames before yours, and one person's description. You have to try to interpret what they want you to draw, or just completely ignore them and have fun!
5. The object of the game is not to just randomly draw piles of crap and pretend that the frames join together correctly, it won't work like that. If you don't draw a frame that remotely connects to the last one, I'll either tell you to draw a different one, or just forfeit your position.

Now, as I said there are a ton of variables that I need your insight upon:

fps (frames per second):10-15
frames the person can see before theirs: 2
total number of frames a person can register: 5
the frames I will post in the thread: every 25th
dimensions: 600x400 or 500x500

The thing about that last one is that I'll be posting one of the pictures in the thread every now and then, just to let people track the progress of it. I'm considering a 10 second animation being lucky to get done, so it probably won't be that long. If you have any suggestions/questions, feel free to post them!

Hmm, I tend to animate on a higher FPS, such as 25 or 33. 10-15 is choppy, and if it's not choppy, it's slow. Your call.

Yeah, I know for sure 10-15 is choppy but with a whole bunch of people I don't think we could pull of a decent 25 fps

1. Blinx posts a black circle
2. Guy #1 sends Blinx some stupid 5-second picture and says it's the second frame
3. Guy #2 sends Blinx a better picture that took longer and says it's the second frame
4. Guy #3 sends Blinx a masterpiece that took hours to make, and claims it should be the second frame
5. Who the fuck

Are we going to all register before shit commences because if so I want frames 2 and 3

No, it's like an animation, frame after frame. You draw a frame that goes after that person's, either some kind of expand on it or make it move or something.

Yeah you can register up to 5 spots (they'll be random)

Also the dimensions of each picture, we need to decide that. The default is 600x400

Do you suggest that we let people register 6 frames? I think it should either be 3 or 5

OK well let me spell this out for you

Blinx: OK guys here is picture 1: ball1.gif
Now, according to my list rubberfishy is supposed to go first. Rubberfishy, when you are done with your frame send it to me.

Here, I'd get a PM of rubberfishy's ball2.gif

Along with a description: "I made the ball go a couple frames lower"

Blinx: Thanks, now after rubberfishy on my list I have wareng teng.

Now, I'd send wareng rubberfishy's picture and my picture, along with only rubberfishy's description.

When wareng finishes, I would send the next person ONLY wareng and rubberfishy's pictures, and wareng's description. When it is all done I'd compile it into an animation.

I'm not trying to derail this thread or shit on your idea or anything, but Argumentable's post just reminded me of this website I used to go on:
http://www.brokenpicturetelephone.com

it's also possible to set up a game where only talkhaus users can play, it's so fun I barred myself from playing cos I was wasting to much time their.

Rubberfishy: I'm very disappointed, the site's been completely broken since November and I don't see any progress in it being fixed. It was fun, though. I register 5 frames Blinx

Hey Blinx, next time, let everyone post their art on their post.

It could work if noone draws penises or anything stupid like that.

^"that is like the quotse of the year"
Do not deny it
My personal goal is to make 200 great posts.
Take my postcount, and subtract 1400.
Thats how many good posts i've made

I WANT TO REGISTER
I love telephone!


Also I feel as if no one goes to this part of the forums. Sometimes even the forums in general.
