Sprite Mash-Up Going well...transition screen ideas?

Posted by Sunrie - July 19th, 2009


Well, I'm extending a hand out there to people who would like to try their hands at helping with a transition between scenes. For the love of all that is good on NG, I want to stay away from the static screen/Robot Chicken transition because it's so over used.

Now, I'm not asking for anyone to make one for me. I'm good enough to make one myself. The issue I'm having is coming up with a good bump. The two I came up with were pathetic, sadly, and so I'm looking outside for assistance. If you do make one then you will get full credit for it, but I'm more interested in the ideas. Of course, you'll get full credit for the transition idea.

For those of you who need to know, the project is a standard 550x400 and is running at 24fps. The title of the project has the word "Holy" in it, though there's nothing religious about it.

What have I tried? I tried a Quick Swipe and a Dash/Zip (ala Phoenix Wrong and Dragonball Z), but neither worked well enough for this.

----
With that said, the project itself is going well. I'm something like 18 scenes into it with a running time around 2.5 minutes. Each skit is quick and not drawn out. Two of them were animated previously for The ALL Sprites Collab, but weren't placed because of file trouble, and two others were up for ideas in The ALL Sprites Collab, but were turned down.

I'm not using jokes other people have used before, so don't expect to see stupid shit like Mario catching on fire after using a fire-flower or Sonic running into a wall at full speed. No, I'm using things myself and Wyldfyre1 have brain stormed on. I even made sure the jokes weren't used previously in sprite animations. There is only one I noticed someone else did, but in a different manner, so I'm keeping it. Three ideas I came up with were already used (such as someone doing the moonwalk to Thriller against a Castlevania backdrop), so I just dropped the ideas all together.

When will I be done? I don't know...depends on when I feel it's long enough with good enough jokes strung together. Every time I think that I've come up with all the ones I will use and begin to do the last scene, I think of one, two, or three more and start putting them into effect.

Oh, one scene in particular that you'll see was inspired by inGenius (go listen to his music and drop some props) and will be used in the Game Ranger 4. I didn't animate it in as epic of manner as it will be in GR4, but if you can figure out which one it is, you're ahead of the game.

What are you all doing here still reading this..? Get some ideas tossed my way and get some credit in this!
