Entry #5
Hey guys. Sorry for not updating recently. I guess theres been a little bit of a communication breakdown between myself and Tom during my first few weeks of University. But things are picking up again now. Ok, onto the news!
TSAH3
Yes, I am planning to make it. But I don't want to rush into it. I want to give everyone a chance to actually play the game, maybe once or twice. I will probably start recruiting in a few weeks.
HOW DO I GET A PART IN TSAH3?
I've decided to make a bit of an event out of this. If you want in, what you'll need to do is this:
--Make a (Halo 3) Master Chief character model in Flash. That means seperating the legs, arms, body etc via symbols.
--Then send us (flashbros@gmail.com) the .FLA file (thats the FLASH file, NOT the .swf file)
--My favourite Chief models (not neccessarily the BEST, but the ones I like the most) will be picked to be in TSAH3 and we'll get in contact with you. This kinda makes it exciting, right? Also, if you've got other work on Newgrounds that you can link to, that'd be a GREAT HELP and may well help us come to a decision.
Oh, and don't get annoyed if disagree with entering this way, or if I don't pick your Master Chief model. You're perfectly free to make anything you want and submit it to Newgrounds! But the TSAH series belongs to me and RubberNinja :P
If you want tips for making character models, you can check out my character model tutorials. But I want every Flash animator to have had some experience with this kind of anmation before, so you should know how to get started, at least.
I will anounce a deadline a little later on.
In other news, our good buddy The Swain released a new movie yesterday - Blockhead Ghostmas Special. Not only is it super awesome, it features some very familiar backgrounds...
K, more news soon, I promise!

You're selecting people based on character models? What about humor? Animating talent? Story-telling and parody abilities?
It almost seems like you just want to make TSAH3 for the sake of making it, as anything with MasterChief properly drawn in it will become a major success.
Also, the assuming of the series without even checking with Ross first is kinda lame.

i sent in my master chief model! its not as good as anything YOU've made, but its the best model ive ever made
12/19/07
Hey, is this still going on?
12/17/07
Hmm the movie seems to be rly long which mean it will be good YAY!!
12/16/07
why can't both of you just make your own account?
12/11/07
so i just had a great idea. you should make another 'ohmygodimonfire' joke involving the flamethrower or incendiary grenades.
but anyway, do we have a deadline for entering yet? not that someone like me who only has one crappy flash under his belt would get a part in it, but just thought i'd ask.
12/9/07
I have a question,
Will decline 4 EVER come?
12/7/07
i'd love to join but havce only played halo 1 + 2 - not halo 3
12/6/07
There's something about Halo 3 will most definately be a smash hit.
My advice use great artists and lots of em.
11/27/07
I'm taking screenshots in the game then using them as a reference, i might change it up to make it a new style of master chief :)
11/14/07
BOMB TSAH 3
11/12/07
Iron Maiden rocks! WOO!
11/7/07
Err, the frame rate and stage size shouldn't be important yet, considering these are just models and not animations.
11/7/07
hello what is the frame rate and stage size its IMPORTANT
11/7/07
Might give it a try. But how do you know the person who made the model didn't just do a good job tracing, but can't animate well?
11/5/07
My frail organic body will not be able to cope with this in any shape or form.
I'm staying well away from this. Best of luck to you though Dim. Hope something fantastic rises out of this little slice of chaos.
Thanks for the kind words. Sure you don't want to give it a go?
11/5/07
Wow awesome, TSAH3, wow. I might try and make a Master Chief model, well, I already made one for a Halo flash I never did so if I spice that up a bit I'll send it in. :3
11/5/07
I'd like to know if i can voice act or script write WITHOUT submitting a MC model.
11/5/07
Third time's the charm! :D
11/4/07
It sounds great, I can't wait for TSAH3 to come out. Damn, I wish I had Flash...
11/4/07

11/3/07

11/2/07
Sweet, I might have to try this, also whens the deadline?
11/1/07
Am I doing something?
I had no idea it was being announced.. In fact I had no idea this was happening until today.
Haha, sorry! I kept trying to catch you on MSN to chat to you about it but with no avail. Obviously if you want to help out you're more than welcome and if you can do a part you've got instant access! It won't be happening for a while, I just wanted to say I am gonna make it and stop all the questioning emails! :P
I haven't even made MY character model yet!
11/1/07
I can't wait for TSAH3 to come out. But remember, don't rush!
11/1/07
What if i want to join not to animate, but to script write wnd voice act, since my animation would never be good enough, but i can voice act and script write to some extent? How would i go about that?
11/1/07
OK, I sent my MC model in, hope you like it.
11/1/07
yeah, ill send a try. Why the fuck not?
11/1/07
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

10/31/07
Hope you can top TSAH2
10/31/07
that's awesome, i'm gonna work my ass off for this, i want this more then anyone so i really hope i make it in :D
10/31/07
Wow, this is gonna be sweet! I'm gonna be drawing a master chief now! lol one question. Is there any dead line to drawing these? also, when sending the .fla of Master Chief, can we make him do an action or something? not animated, but for example, a still editable picture of the master chief looking at cortanas tits and cortana shouting "YOU PERV!"? lol xP
Anyway, can't wait till TSAH3 :)
10/30/07
I can't wait to see how this one comes out!
By the way, how's the forum situation looking?
10/30/07
Oh, and one question, can we send more than one model?
of course
10/30/07
Glad to see you're making animations again. I like your games and all that stuff, but I love your animations. I sent my model like 2 hours after I saw this.
10/30/07
