Let's make an animation
Let's make an animation
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!

Re: Let's make an animation
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.

Re: Let's make an animation
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

Re: Let's make an animation
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

Re: Let's make an animation
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

Re: Let's make an animation
Do you suggest that we let people register 6 frames? I think it should either be 3 or 5

Re: Let's make an animation
I wanna join, but I'm gonna be honest here, I don't understand the rules one bit.
Re: Let's make an animation
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.

Re: Let's make 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.

Re: Let's make an animation
Hey Blinx, next time, let everyone post their art on their post.
It could work if noone draws penises or anything stupid like that.

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.

Re: Let's make an animation
Oh we go there.
We just don't bump 4 months old threads that where doomed to fail from the start.
