Auditions for 'Did You Hear That? Vol 2'

Posted by Graeme - January 24th, 2010


These auditions will be to take part in Did You Hear That? Vol 2
Here is the original

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/
497705

Just a really basic rundown of the concept.
Everyone in the collab picks out 1 random sound effect of their choosing. After each person has contributed ONE sound. Then I compile the sound effects into a random order.
This complete sound file is then sent out to everyone, and they are not allowed to adjust it ANY way. They may not add/remove sound effects, or change the time between the sound effects.
That's the trick of the collab. Everyone will animate the same sound clip. Because there is no way to know who you're working with, you cannot steal ideas either. Meaning every individual idea that emerges from the collab will be 100% based on their own interpretation.

It did pretty decently overall, snagging a Daily 5th while being relatively underrated. But a few days later Tom front paged it, the score shot up, and I had hundreds of reviews telling me how much they loved the concept behind the collab!

In the original, I hand picked everyone, and we worked entirely through PMs here on Newgrounds. This will be half true for Volume 2 ass well.

I don't think I know enough animators to be able to get a new team together in total secrecy. I mean no disrespect to the old team, I love them all to death for the work they did, but I am getting a 100% new team together! I would feel like a tool picking and choosing people to stay and go, so to be fair, they are all cut!!
;)

Good news for you community of Newgrounds!
That means I will be holding auditions. Post me links to what you view as your BEST work. I prefer if you can link to Newgrounds submissions of yours, but if your best was in a collab, please host just your part on spamtheweb or dumpgrounds or something for me to check out.
I have a few new members already in mind. But not the full 9 I need.
This also gives a chance for some promising animators here on the BBS to maybe take a step out of their comfort zones, and maybe get a little bit or recognition for their part!

At this stage I'm not looking for sound files, just animation skills.
I plan to pick and choose some fresh blood from here on the forums. And if I end up with a few heavy-hitters, than that's pretty awesome too!

The auditions could drag out a couple weeks, depending on how long it takes me to pick out the best team! Once everyone is choosen, we will revert to the secrecy of the PMs!
Mystery!

For now, post here, and we'll see who we can find.
Good luck to everyone. I will alert you to your membership in the collab through PMs as well.
Because I'm a dink like that. In the best way possible of course.

Original thread
New thread ( moved because with the new forum layout it made more sense)

tl;dnr version:
Are you good at Flash and want to participate in a collab? Then PM me or post on the forum with your best work and I'll let you know if you can be in the collab or not.

YEEAAUURWAARGH!
i always wanted to participate tat I`ll give it a try and post on the tread!

Glad you enjoyed the first. We'll just have to see what you can do :)

{:'(

Sorry buddy. I would have felt bad only letting some people come back. So for the sake of fairness, everyone is cut!! HA
Did I enjoy that too much?

try asking the The Boogly

Is this perhaps a Boogley alt?
Haha. But no, he was in the first one. so he's not allowed back.

How can I stay mad at you? :)

It's a phyiscal impossibility.
One of my many homoerotic super powers!
Now if only I had some heterosexual versions of those...

just wanted to say, thanks for scouting me, it means a lot.

Not a problem! It's a pleasure.
Submitting art doesn't do a lot of good when people can't give you feedback.
Enjoy

Hullo. '0'

Just thought I'd let you know that I poked Bill's Quest yesterday. Hopefully I can get it converted back to Flash 8 so I can work on it during Spring Break or at any other time I feel necessary.

Hope all is well with the collab!

Yeah man. At this point "no rush" is just kinda obsoleet. Haha.
Bang er out whenever you get the time I suppose

hey there fella, is the second Did you Hear That happening? I hope so...

Sure is! But holy sweet Jebus is it taking forever!
I keep filling the last spot, then having drops. Or someone says they'll take it, then don't get back to me for weeks.
Much more difficult this time than last :(
