Zeebra's News

Posted by Zeebra - April 5th, 2013


Ok so I have been telling everybody that I was uploading the collab today but I have some bad news and I wasn't able to due to three internal server error messages. And then I get another error message that I have reached the limit of two uploads. And when I look at my movies there is nothing there.

Anybody have a solution?

The only one I know is to wait till tomorrow and try again :[

SHIT

Newgrounds didn't allow me to upload the Collab


Posted by Zeebra - April 3rd, 2013


I just need to blow off some steam and ramble on about how difficult life is in the Collab world...

Over the last two weeks i have been working on the 60 Frame Collab. Laboriously combining 53 parts with a menu has been a challenging task. I had flash crash on me a million times so I was forced to compile the animations separate from the menu. Only to find combining the menu and animation together was a nearly impossible task. After another gazillion crashes I managed to copy one animation at a time into the menu. Hours later I couldn't import sound into the huge fla file due to lack of virtual memory even though I have 16 gigs of ram. So I ended up giving my computer 100 gigs of virtual memory. Then there was an issue with the preloader, so I had to go teach myself how to make one. Unfortunately I was only able to upload one sound track into the animation and every time I tried adding a soundtrack to the menu Adobe Flash Crashed on me. Then I added links to Animators user pages but the AS isnt working.

onRelease = function() {getURL("http://zeebrafication.newgrounds.com/", "_blank"); };

So what am I doing wrong?

So to all involved I have uploaded a preview for you to see and I will be uploading it for votes and comments soon.

I know I don't make much sense in this post but it made me feel sooooo much better...

Anyway look out for the 60 Frame Collab launching at a Newgrounds near you.

It is already 4 days into the new year and I decided to make myself useful and create a facebook page to showcase any creative things I come up in the year 2013. Then I was contemplating if I should make a group or even create alias for myself.
At this point I realized that I was getting sucked into the black hole of faces and managed to disconnect my internet just in time.
If you wana lose some face...

Well Anyway...

It was a fun little project that forced me to make choices and stick with them. Then lastly i had to animate like a race horse to meet the deadline. Everybody's parts were awesome and the parts came together nicely.

60 Frame Collaboration 5 2013


Posted by Zeebra - August 4th, 2012


Long awaited collaboration is finally here :)
It started about a year ago and was composed of hundreds of animations which were 60 frames long, running at a speed of 20 frames per second. Meaning the pieces were only 3 seconds long. All in in all i think it came together nicely.
Very glad to have been part of this collaboration with so many animators.
