I'm taking a flash animation course...
Maybe when I'm better with flash, I'll be able to whip up a How Not To Post guide.

Can anybody tell me where it says in the rules that you have to be an amazing artist or animator to make something? Funny, I could never find anything like that. It's great that you're learning something but it's absolutely useless unless you're practicing it at the same time. Art is not like riding a bicycle.

Stop demanding CC's. It was a good idea but a shit system. Nobody cares about your glowing text name.

This. I hate these systems that reward you for just posting a lot.

instead of posting your stupid ideas you should write them in a private notebook and refine them! Who knows they might actually be funny if you animate them.

Yes, writing you ideas actually down is a great thing to do, as I just discovered recently.
Doing this gave me the motivation to finish 2 CCTV entries in a short time. Also now it looks like I will finally complete a "full length" animaton.
It's just better to have a concrete script, instead of just starting to animate with a rough idea in mind.

This is what we need. This is exactly what I want to hear. Do we see any excuses in this post? None! He is declaring that he is at work, and I don't doubt him either. By doing this work alone he's already better than at least 90% of you. When he started out he wasn't the greatest artist, or the greatest animator but he made shit. He's got the confidence to make shit, and doesn't give a fuck if it fails or not. This right here ladies is a true fucking clock!

I started writing my ideas down on these little multi-colored notebook papers lying around a while ago and it's great to have a bunch of ideas to go back to.
Also, I'd love to see the movie "How Not to Shitpost".  If no one is willing to do it, I'll whip one up quick after I get back home on Saturday.

I wrote a story board for my Clockday movie in a composition notebook. Hopefully, I can actually finish it. Writing ideas down really does help in motivating an animator, I know it motivated me to get my ass in gear and start animating shit and to slowly become involved in the CC again. My flash contribution is in fact very sad, and I aim to make more movies.

Anywho, the CC really needs to start getting involved with flash again. On the NG collections page, we don't even have a spot anymore! And it's been quite a long time since we've been on front page, or for those of you who prefer it, made a ruckus on NG. I'm not sure what anybody can do to make the clock crew fun or productive, but heres a few ideas I guess:

1) More contests: not contests for prizes necessarily, but at least for pixel awards. I know a lot of you go ape-shit for pixel awards, and competitions are just fun anyway.

2) Clock of the Month: I used to think this was a cool idea, I'm sure it would motivate some people.

3) Organized collabs: collabs are always fun, maybe have a few collabs arranged by the site, sort of like a CCTV thing. Not massive collabs, but these are always fun and could promote some sort of..unification of some sort? I'm not sure what I'm talking about here.

Those are just a few vague ideas, maybe I'll post some more useful ones.

[AbsintheClock]

Those are good ideas. I'll make a post right now about the clock of the month thing.

[teh Hamburgler]

I am always working on flash. I think we need to start Clock Crew Time Trials or something to get people motivated.

[AirPumpClock]

Edit - hey here's an idea that would get people to use the SPAM FORUM a little more often - get rid of the fucking "We want you to post your crap in general" skin.

Actually, I have to agree with this. Hugely.

[RomanClock]

BR@INSTORM Go do it now!

Personally I think that if someone made a "How Not to Shitpost" movie it'd be really gay like one of those newgrounds movies like uhh "How to make a Flash get Front Page" stuff like that, it would only be funny if the script was executed extremely well.

Hey when was the last time you did something worthwhile?

Well, what about an extra Clock Crew bonus for Clock Day? We could do something special for the winner. It could get more people into the Clock Day, and while thinking of ideas, they'd think of extra that they'd also like to do, therefore more Clock flash.

So $500 cash and a t shirt isn't enough? You either want to do something or you're a part of the problem. This isn't about silly rewards, it's about accomplishing something and feeling good because you did.

Well, there are people that aren't doing Clock flashes, so apparently 500 smackers ain't enough. Maybe we could set up a Clock of the Month or something. To best animator of that month, chosen by Clocks and Clockfriends only (so there aren't any alt-cheaters.) I'd show that Clock that we appreciate his hard work with animating. And a single clock couldn't get Clock of the Month twice in a row, so theres no High and Mightyness with a single Clock to discourage other animators.

Some animated adventures based off the storylines of our previous social "try and vote off the evildoers" competitions (aka, the werewolf game) would be good.

It wouldn't be taking it seriously or anything.  It'd be done in a spam-flash sort of way.
Only awesome.

ehh I made a camel day movie I suppose, I haven't done much flash since my hard drive died and I lost all my template files
