I'm an amateur flash artist who has too much time on his hands. I also take ages to release anything at all, due to me being busy at college and the fact I'm just lazy in general.

I've seen alot of listless, boring sprite movies on newgrounds.
Then again, hasn't everyone?
Sonic and Mario sprite movies are the bulk of these bad movies, but also the brunt of the good ones.
Prehaps we should start using different sprites from different games...
Now, I know most other sprites are hard to get a hold of, but it's not that difficult.
You can get sprites from the fighting game MUGEN (google it if you haven't heard about it) by using a piece of software called fighter factory. Which is available on randomselect in the download tools section.
If anyone does decide to use this and has trouble with it I'll try and answer as many questions that I can help with, as I am also using this unothodox method myself.
And finally to upload a character's sprites and palletes onto fighter factory.
Go on Sprites > Open > Wherever you have your mugen characters > Open the sprite document up.
Please credit the authors that you got the sprites from in your movies.
This is gonna take for ever but I may as well say about it now.
Posted by DoctorFaust Mar. 28, 2009 @ 1:23 PM EDTI'm working on a sprite movie to release some time in the near future.
It's going to be... At best, I'd say okay.
But who knows? Maybe it'd be actually be good.
Yah right. What usually happens when a noob such as myself makes a sprite movie as a flash?
1. It gets laughed at.
2. The creator wonders why he/she made such a piece of crap.
3. The video gets blammed or forgotten about.
4. People who watched it will want their time back.
5. A puppy will die of the movie's shittyness.
...
SO AS YOU CAN SEE, I'M PRETTY POSITIVE ABOUT THIS THING TURNING OUT FOR THE BEST.
However, the good news id that you won't have to worry about this brain fart turning up untill
June or July or something like that.
