Alright, just thinking of some subjects that might make for useful videos.

Tiles
Grass, dirt, bricks, ie the stuff everybody should know. Basic videos for the way to create tiles in any app, advanced videos using Pro Motion's tiling capabilities.

Large character sprites
Fighter, RPG battle screen, side scroller, etc. Larger sprites would probably need to be divided into multiple movies, lines, colors, shade, AA.

Fonts and interfaces
Title screens, HUDs, dialog boxes.

Index painting
Pro Motion specific. Never tried it before, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it's done/thinking of trying it out myself.

Animation
A big project to tackle, would probably be a long video. Setting up basic motion, key frames, tweens.

Scene
Some work of art, fairly large and detailed. Best bet would be a timelapse, 4X or maybe even 8X speed.

Here's a video:

And the product:


I shrunk the video down a little. A decision I now regret, as the pallet and preview window are difficult to see.

Can't view on a mac...as the codec doesn't exsit for os x

[pkmays]

Yes is does. Use the EnSharpen codec, it's on the same page as the TechSmith codec. AVIs play back fine in the latest Quicktime.

Congrats on hitting 10. I wanted to say I will now take a request. I can go up to 128x128 or something, ask me of something that'd be interesting to see, 'cause you've already seen my basic pixelling methodology. Going outside my comfort zone is okay.

[Rydin]

I never watched any of them yet, but have you done anything with sliced pixels  ?

[Helm]

No, but that's an extremely boring thing to watch someone make.

[Cow]

It'd be interesting to see you do something on Paint. Interesting, and tedious.

EDIT: Or maybe some kind of underwater scene. That could be pretty kickass.

What are sliced pixels? Am I missing something here?
