A quick reminder/info post for @mandyboocheek, @noovamulticolors, @mojave-outpost-one, @the-shame-cube, and @nbdraik (as well as possibly @hope-of-neopia)
I have moved the deadline to November 20th. Please let me know if you'd still like to participate on the MAP. If too many people drop out, I might scrap it entirely, or search for new people.
If it would not be too much trouble, however, I'd like WIPs or evidence you're working on it by October 31st.
This is still open to new participants, I've got some parts on my end I'd be happy to fork over.
The theme for this is going to be SIBLINGS or even just family in general! Something heartfelt, or angsty, or forgiving, whichever dice you wanna roll.
Main thing here: I know I'm aiming more for the neotag, but that's just cause it's more tight-knit than shouting to the world. If you aren't a part of the tag, but wanna contribute and get a part, feel free, we've got plenty of room.
I'll answer questions under the cut here:
What's a MAP?
A MAP stands for Multiple-Animators-Project.
What's the point of a MAP/this video?
All together, this video has thirteen parts! That means thirteen different artists can pick a part out of these thirteen to claim. Once you claim that part, you get to create an animation centered around that certain part.
E.g: I pick part two, I am allowed part two since no one else picked it, now I can go and create an animation to fit part two. But I cannot take a section of part one, or run into part three.
Wait! I can't animate/am not good at animating/never tried animating!
I am super lenient with what you wanna make! If you want to make an AMV for your part, go for it. A full-blown ambitious animation? Hell yeah. A lyric comic? Do it. I'll do a separate post tomorrow explaining the differences/varieties if anyone is confused and wants a visual!
Now if you don't have a program, or are not aware of a program for animating, I'm glad to help. You can send all your pictures to me (as png. Preferably) and I can animate it for ya! I've got a program and some semblance of understanding on how to do it. If you've got your own program and know how, then you're set.
Okay...what's this MAP about again?
This MAP is centered around siblings and only for OCs. If this takes off well, maybe we could do an NPC sometime down the line! But for now, only OCs. Gimme those sweet sweet backstories and relationships between your awesome characters.
Ok...how do I enter?
I tried this last time and it was kinda wonky but let's see if it'll work now.
Watch the video. Go through the comments/reblogs to make sure no one else called the part you pick. It's first come, first serve. Once you've got an available part, either REBLOG this post saying which part you'd like, or COMMENT which part you'd like if you don't want this big old thing on your blog. DON'T PUT YOUR CHOICE IN THE TAGS, otherwise people won't get to see if you've got what they want, and so I don't mistake it as a simple signal boost.
If all parts get taken, I'll make another post, maybe shoot some messages, and everyone can get to work!
Sounds fun and all, but I've got work/school/family business to attend to.
I hope to receive all MAP parts by OCTOBER 30TH. That gives a good month for people to work. If people need more time, we can do that, but it'll end up running into December since I'll be in a whole other country come November.
I have a question you skipped.
My inbox is open! C: ask or message me whenever you'd like!
I'm excited to see if this'll take off! We'll give it a week to see what results we get!
