HOW TO BE A GREAT ANIMATOR ON NEWGROUNDS

part one: beginning
So, you want to be an animator? The first step is to brainstorm. Very few animators start at the computer. Start by getting a pencil and paper, and jot down ideas. Watch tv, read books, go outside, and get some ideas of how to make your animation the best it can be. Just remember that your animation should be longer than 30sec, so don't cut corners. Pop culture references are funny, but are often overdone, and are no substitute for good jokes.Also dont copy other peoples work,it's illigal and shows that you have no skills.

part two:animating
Time for the actual animation process. First make your movie, as previously stated it should last longer than 30sec. Any shorter and chances are that it will get a bad score. Picture quality is very important. your movie should have sound and color(Unless you purposely left it black and white for artistic reasons). Music and sounds can be found anywhere. Just make sure to credit the original author.

Part three: finishing touches
after your movie is finished, add a preloader. although not needed, a creative preloader shows that you took time and effort to make your movie. every movie should have a "sene select" so if the veiwer has to leave, he/she can come back to the same spot in the movie."The end" is a simple way to let people know that the movie is done.

Part four: submitting
After your sure your movie is done, it's time to give it a name, description, and icon. all of which need to be relevent. no one likes to be tricked by animation names.Once again this proves that you need to lie to get people to watch it.

Part five: aftermath
So, you made a movie and submitted it. Your not done yet. If your movie makes it past judgment, make sure to read the comments. People will somtimes offer good advice. just know that no matter how hard you work some one will be a dick and vote zero, and cuss you out. be ready for these people, and have a snappy comeback ready.

Final part: the do nots
DO NOT create more than one account just so you can vote up your own flashes and down others, this just shows that you have no life
DO NOT re-submit somthing if it doesn't pass judgement

DO NOT create a new account if you are banned

DO NOT submit anything illigal, you'd be suprised how many "tattle tails" are on this site

THE END
