It's that time again - Clock Day (http://www.clockcrew.cc/clockopedia/clockday), August 15th, is just around the corner!
It's about time you started your Clock Day projects if you haven't already. The prizes (sponsored by Newgrounds (http://www.newgrounds.com)) are very generous this year, as in previous years:
1st: $500 + t-shirt and NG stickers
2nd: $250 + t-shirt and NG stickers
3rd: $250 + t-shirt and NG stickers
4th: $250 + t-shirt and NG stickers
5th: $250 + t-shirt and NG stickers
6th-10th: t-shirt and NG stickers
A selection of winners will be chosen by Clock Crew elders and staff, and Tom Fulp will have the final say, as in previous years (though there has never been conflict over our choices).
All Clocks who submit an animation on this day will receive a participation award on the BBS.
Clock Day Preloader Contest
We're also looking for an official Clock Day preloader! Today marks the start of our Clockday 08 Preloader contest.
Keep in mind, the preloader ought to be appropriate for all movies - i.e., it should be easy to apply to a flash of any width/height; it shouldn't have a massive file size; it shouldn't have so much animation that someone whose movie is at 13 fps will not see the same preloader as someone whose movie is at 30...
The winner's preloader will be distrubuted for all clocks to use on Clock Day, and the creator will also receive a free Clock Crew email account (powered by gmail), e.g. olskoo@clockcrew.cc (olskoo@clockcrew.cc) (you could also just forward mail from that address to an existing email account of yours).
To enter the contest, post a preview (swf) and the actual fla (host it in the cc file library (http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/library.php)) in this thread. The deadline is July 20th.
The winner will be chosen by popular vote.
Edit: Those seeking actionscripting help, to realise their preloaders, can solicit the help of RomanClock (http://www.clockcrew.cc/talk/member.php?u=218), who has offered his expertise.

Hi greyclock where have you been?
Yay! Can't wait
I'm thinking of making 2 this year just for the hell of it.
I guess i'll try making something
I have a general idea of what I'm gonna do, but it sorta borders anti-clock, because of all the 'casualties.'

Speaking of which, Anti-Clockday is going to be happening again this year. I'll post more on this issue later.
My internet runs out in august...crap :(
OHSHIT! JULY 20th! Jesus, I have to get it in gear!
Oh wow, by not procrastinating, I got about 10 whole seconds done in the last 5 minutes.
I'll help anyone who needs help programming their preloader :D
Quote from: LeekClock;1333497Hi greyclock where have you been?
Making exams at day, watching Euro 08 at night.
we need a countdown!
Maybe my Roop E rap video, although it will probably be done by then.
But here is a preview of my Roop E rap video:

Alright, If I could just hurry up on "Project Joro", then I can continue (or rather start) my clockday flash without any trouble!
we should get sbc into ng rumble this year
If Madness and Hank get in it for Madness Day, we get in it for Clock Day. :army:
^this
Quote from: Biblo;1334779we need a countdown!
Yeah!
I WILL SUBMIT AN ANIMATION THIS YEAR!
^that is caps lock, sometimes I lose the key^
I have found the perfect sound file to accompany my preloader!
My movie is really good this year and but this is my second year and I am working with someone else on it. Mine is kind of a funny spoof though.
Finished my preloader!
Preview (right-click > play). Make sure you have your sound turned on, as it's the sound that makes this one special, actually.

The .fla is bigger than 2 mB (the .fla library limit for preloaders), due to the music file, but the .swf is 48 kB, so no worries there. I'm sure a staff member will help me upload the preloader if you people like the preview.
My flash is done!
Oooooooooooooooooooh! I don't know why, but I feel especially good about this year!
I will (try to) submit.
Comps been on the fritz and I just got a job!!!

I haven't had time to make a movie this year...
Edit: Speaking of which, why did I never get a Clockday 07 award?
When an Roman's Preloader be available? That's the last thing my movie needs to be really done.

:this:
I will push to have something this year! :jerk:
I'm working on the last few scenes of my Clockday flash. I think it's going to be the best clockmovie I've made so far. Also if I've got enough time I'll finish the 3rd instalment in my Soundless Hills series and submit that for Clockday as well.
dang, ive been way to busy with school and work and tommorow im going to france.....
How long you goin'...you're fucked if it's for a week...unless you got an identical comp up in France which I doubt.
Finished my movie, it's right here (http://www.internetcult.org/forum/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=71).
Yeah, I kinda lost the violent semi-anticlock idea thing, too much work, not enough inspiration.

SilverClock designed this year's participation award. Not merely pretty and shiny, it's quite clever -- it incorporates the number 8 (of 2008) into the design.

Well, seeing this is my first clockday... I will actually submit a movie!:) It's actually even a (sort of) lame joke with a small story around it, with totally random stuff happening at certain points, as well as a few cameo's, but it won't take too long, since I'm still learning the basics of flash as we speak.
I also have the (off-topic) question, but what does that ''tracking'' thingy do in the preloader roman made...?
Both of my movies are done. I am truly rabical.
sque
HAPPY CLOCKDAY!
Have a great clockday!
ill make something this weekend maybe.
My favorite flash of Clock Day 2008 was Easy Way Out. I've enjoyed every Clock Day.
(Except Clock Day 07 was a tad off)
