Satisfying.
I like it. I think it would've been better if you had Foamy ranting a bit about how he decided to break down. It's not hard since he has no mouth.
I don't know why so many ppl don't like clock movies. If it wasn't for clock movies NG wouldn't have the flavor it has. Clocks create epic almost mythic characters and help sustain ones they didn't create. Clock movies are a fantastic source of visionary and/or outsider art.
Hilarious!
Man oh man. It just cracks me up that the blammed movie in this is a stick that kills another stick and then fucks it. The combination of the typical puerile stick movie and your highly stylized graphics is, as the summary says, hilarious.
Way to roll..
A breathtaking achievement
The juxtaposition of the two powerful elements, death/grief and Tricky/buffoonery, is, at once, imposing and sensitive. Trent's gloomy, sublime music is a perfect element to promote melancholy. There is no question that Tricky's calliope steam whistles over the heads of the typical NG viewer.
Those minds that can't grasp the elevated and indeed mythological abstractions of Tricky will continue to deteriorate intellectually. They will continue to self screen their content through the filters of puerile, witless, dead weight between their ears. These incongruous majority are not worthy to rate art they can't understand. It's like Michelangelo or Bonnicelli painting in a biker-bar bathroom.
Buttons and blows
Here's how to make a replay button.
Make a new layer. On the last frame of the last scene place a graphic for a button on the stage.
Click on the button graphic and hit F8 to make it into a symbol. Select button from the symbol type list to make it into a button symbol.
Make another layer and click on the last frame so it's on the same frame as the button. Hit F6 to make a keyframe. Hit F9 to go to the actionscript window and put in this command.
stop();
This makes your movie wait at that frame for user input.
Close the actionscript window and click on the button. Hit F9 to open the buttons actionscript window and put in this code:
on (press) {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
This will make the movie jump to the 1st frame of the scene and run it again when the user clicks on the button. Likewise you could put all this in another scene and make it jump to whatever scene you like.
The movie wasn't bad. The editing was pretty good. I bet you had fun making it.
A helpful hint!
I strongly suspect that you are using the default setting flash uses for audio called event. Event starts the audio and plays it independly of the other layers in the timeline.
Open your movie, locate the layer with the music, click on it, use the pulldown menu in the properties of the audio to chande the audio layer from event to stream. Stream follows the animation and skips frames in the other layers to force them to sync-up with the audio.
When your audio property is streaming instead of event timing you can also scrub through the timeline and hear the sound as you animate.
Hope this helps.
Exemplary!
An admirable taste of insanity sauce. Funny and melancholy all at once.
Thank Satan he's back!
This makes my day!
Now I have something to look forward to.
Easily one of the best artists, animators at NG. Spawn of Satan 4 has been at the top of my fav list for a long time. Top quality work all around. IMO FunnyAzHell is the real king of the portal.
An unwitting victim of the extortion scheme!
Uneducated and very young ppl like you have no place being preachy.
You are at an age when social engineers can manipulate your thoughts in ways you can't yet understand. You get passionate about cigarette additives but I doubt if you know there is animal piss/shit, nitrates, antibiotics, parasites, heavy metals, puss, growth hormones and pesticides in your meat. Unless you're a vegetarian you're poisoning yourself daily. It's a slow suicide. Your schools are poisoning you with meat and dairy because the big meat and dairy companies buy off politicians. Check out the label on the "food pyramid" in your school for evidence. See what business's make the most money for more evidence.
Cigarette smokers know about the dangers of smoking. It's printed right on the label and the chemicals and other ingrediants have been on record for at least a decade.
A bigger danger is ppl like you who are easy conduits of mind control. You will help us lose our liberties. If ppl want to destroy themselves it's none of your business. At least cigarette smokers are only hurting themselves. Meat eaters are hurting themselves, the animals and the environment.
It's obvious from your reply to me at http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view.php?id=144682
that many concepts go over your head. It doesn't keep you from acting like you have a clue so I don't expect this one to take hold either.
Maybe this quote by Ben Franklin will boil it down into something you can understand...
"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Benjamin Franklin 1759
One wond. Bullshit. But I do feel sorry for these people who are getting manipulated by thes "social engineers". Ah, I would be very worried about parasites, if they didn't exist around me anyways. Do I give a shit if I happen to eat a parasite (mind you, cooking kills parasites.... therefore I cook my food), even though I sleep on them and they live on me? No I can't stop it, so whatever. Big shit. Of course cittagrette smokers know what the fuck they're inhaling, but I posted this for one reason. Because there is nothing to defend smoking. It has no beefits. And instead of killing us, ever so slowly, it takes years off our life, and costs money. How would me protesting billion dollar companies that kill 1200 people a day be mind control? Dumbass. Of course, because by stating my feelings about certain subjects, I take our liberties away. Oh, and social engineering isn't mind control, you asshat. I think people destroying themselves (and let's not forget secondhand smoke) IS my business. Or at least scuicide is the polices business, you dumb shit. But, let me clairify something. Cigatette smokers are only hurting themselves, correct? How can you explain the 400 deaths related to second hand smoke every year? Or is this the fault of the politics and meat producers too? But you say vegetarians are not hurting anyone and meat eaters are?? Only if you ignore the fact that millions of wild animals die during wheat harvests, and grain harvests. But that isn't hurting anyone is it? Oh, and thanks for the random Benjamin Franklin quote, it really helped me understand how the fuck I am giving up my liberty, while stating my opinions, and how I trade it for the "safety" of being persecuted by dumbasses for what I believe in. Oh, and btw, I don't watch TV or the like, so who the fuck is influencing me now? Good try, though.
Oxymoron
It's probably safe to say that you hate hate groups. That creates a paradox with the title.
I really liked the sound, except fot the irritating typing sound, but did you mix it yourself or was it lifted from the video? As a tool for swaying the thoughts of its watchers I think it's a bit too obnoxious. Most ppl will get frustrated with the vague video, hard to read type, annoying type sound and supposed statistics. On the other hand the audio mixing was fantastic.
Vague but vogue.
It's a bit hard to know who the characters are. Are they the guys in Offspring or some kids in school or what?
I think the biggest problem with music these days is the prominence of hip hop, rap and soul. What happened to rock? Most of the biggest names in music today simply don't rock. The Offspring is an easy target. Obvious sell-outs but at least they aren't fucking hip hop. Hip hop is crap and it's the most popular music in the country. That's what you should pick on - hip hop.
Sing sing death house..
