Technically I didnt do the animation, as you didnt draw that pic of Kate and the first one I did was static, http://www.leebe.co.uk/avi/sadness.jpg

But I thought I could do better and I liked how it came out

theres no rule that says no animation

I had a general idea I thought I would throw out. Can we have a Animation/ Vid. Clip/ movie clip sig competition by itself sometime. Not that the vid. clips wouldnt be part of the other competitions, but I think it would be interesting to have that competition by itself and see some of the most excellent things that people come up with in that way. Also, some of you know how to do vid clips, and for those people that do not, it might provide the impetus to get them to explore some more options in sig making.

point well taken. lol (I was more thinking cause of the size. most sigs aren't that tall. hhmm... maybe in the future we should put size restrictions.)

Re: Sig of the Week #4 (entry thread)

well normally in sotw sizes are 400 x 250 max

if you look on most gfx sites animation in normally built on text effects and maybe sprite sigs

if there is a clip there is a small window of it like you have previously done


sound is generally kept out of sigs because if you had 20 different people posting a sig with sound it would be very annoying

personally which in my own opinion is that sigs should be your own lt\ittle piece of art not a movie with some text

yes you did fill the topic perfectly i guess with confidence

but to me there is no emotion into creating that sig

well theres my opinion again

leebe i like your current sig ithink its cool did you make the fish if so thats great

but playing a movie wih text is not a sig and you could niether put tht in your sig it is too big and contains sound maybe a link to it so it doesnt play on forums well gl and may the best abd fairest person win

the one I posted is 400x250 exactly.

that really depends where you look.

again depends where you look, but there wasnt any rule saying you couldnt use sound, I couldve made it where you had to click to play it, but many ppl wouldnt have realised and wouldnt have clicked, if this was a sig I was going to use thats what I wouldve done.

well theres my opinion again
how many sigs have you created where it was your art? did you draw that pic of Kate? what of the others? im more than sure Ive seen parts of your other ones around before, in fact im sure I have the wallpaper versions of some of them.
and your right, there was no emotion into creating that sig, the topic was to show emotion, not use it.

no I didnt, in fact a lot more work went into the one I made for this thread.

of course its a sig, even GK has/had a bit of a movie in his sig, does it make it any less a sig?, a sig is anything in the "signature" area. would I use this one? probably not as it is now, but apart from the sound there is nothing wrong with it, It fits all the rules...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signature_block

"On web forums, the rules are often less strict on how a signature block is formatted, as Web browsers typically are not operated within the same constraints as text interface applications. Users will typically use a "signature" text area in their given profile for input, which can then allow a user to turn off signatures. Depending on the board's capabilities, signatures may range from a simple line or two of text to an elaborately-constructed HTML piece. Images are often allowed as well, including dynamically updated images, usually hosted remotely and modified by a server-side script.

Signatures are seen as an art form by many of their creators, and there are many websites centered around their creation and display. Most of these websites have competitions, battles and a signature of the week contest, where members submit their entries to have them featured on the main page."

take a look here

http://www.gamereplays.org/community...?showforum=984

or google for "signature of the week" - the range is excellent

seems to me youre just a bit huffy, but my sigs are as original as yours are and they fit to the rules of the thread. should the rules be changed? maybe for the future they should be more clearly defined as to what exactly is acceptable, for eg, should you be allowed to rip other ppls work and just edit a bit with photoshop? should every piece be original? I guess thats up to our hosts here.

Re: Sig of the Week #4 (entry thread)

I gotta go with leebee on this one. what is and isn't a signature is very subjective and varies per forum.

we never posted any strict regulations for the sOTW contests here...so it was up to each creator to determine what they felt was a sig.

so, as of now, there are no real grounds for saying leebee's entries weren't sigs other than you opinion that they were (as opposed to his opinoin that they were).

that said, I liked the suggestion of make different categories of sig (w or without animation, sound or whatever. only original images or not etc etc). that doesn't mean current sig entries aren't good examples of sig...

just think it might be fun or interesting to create clearer parameters and have people compete along those lines.

we'll set more clear guidelines for the next one. but for this one....
I see no problems with leebee's sig, nor yours....

so sig on!! and good luck to all entries!!
