First off, I understand that movie Sprite Jams have been used before...and that this most definately isn't 'Teh most 1nn0vative Sprite Jam evar!!1!" But, it should prove amusing none the less.
The topic: *drum roll please*
Funny movie sprite!
You must sprite a funny character/object/whatever from a movie. Now, this ain't no background blitz, so I won't force you to make a background, but it could possibly help other people recognize the movie. Now, by funny, it could be something that was supposed to make you laugh, or it could be uninentional (Yoda fighting Dooku comes to mind....) Its also recommended that you choose a movie that the majority of us would be familiar with...
Now, the restrictions are as follows
1. Resolution: No restriction, just don't go too big
2. Colors: 256
Real Quick Example:

Eh, just a quickie Spaceballs referance. Those of you who haven't seen the movie, you must think I'm very strange.
Happy spriting, and no flaming me or each other please!
*Edit: for some of us its still July 14th, and the contest hasn't officially 'started' yet, but we are going with the forum's time
*Another Edit: Thanks DM, for inspiring this idea
Heh, love the Spaceballs animation :D
It seems like this competition requires more than just spriting abilities. Maybe it should be called a "scene jam".
Aarg, you have a point, BB. Should I change the topic?
*Feels stupid*

If I have a seen from a movie, am I allowed to have 256 colours per screen, or does the whole, in my case, animation have to be 256 colours?
I would say 256 for the whole animation, Haddas.
So are we just going to keep the jam the way it is now? If I get many objections, I may have no choice but to change it....I guess I'll just wait it out and get more of your opinions...maybe we can start a real 'Scene Jam' :D I doubt it though...to similiar to the Sprite Jam...
Awaiting your comments,
- Tiki
Stick with Sprite Jam :)
How about you change the topic to 'Funny Movie Object Sprite' where you pick an object from a funny movie scene. So your Spaceballs reference could just be the screen/console ...
Something like that?
can this just be a made up scene but one that uses recognisable characters from a movie - kinda like outtakes or deleted scenes or something?
for example, darth vader going to chop luke skywalker's hand off, but instead the lightsaber just hits his arm so he tries again...
Hmm, that could work, Boyd. As long as it has to do with a movie and its funny, I don't see why not.
Edit: Sprite Jam Topic's been changed, see above

Took about 2 1/2 hours in MsPaint
Oh yeah, sorry it's not a sprite, I couldn't stop myself
photorealistic in paint, damn!
I'm making a monty python scene, heavy quality reduction allready, but it's still at 1,6 mb. I wonder where it could be hosted or how I could shrink it? Mind you, I've shrunk it down 69% already :S
EDIT: It's not really a sprite, so I don't think it'll count as an entry though...
EDIT2: FINALLY!!!
From "Army of Darkness":

This is my BOOMSTICK!
(and my first sprite jam, I think...)
EDIT: oh, and that's 23 colours, in case anyone cares.

Wow, good job all three of you....but , this is my fault for not mentioning, can you say the name of the movie its from? (cept Opo Terser, he already did)
Oh, and yes, Opo's is mind numbing, but I don't think I'm allowed to pick him, seeing as he just hosted the last one. Somebody fill me in on that , please. Anyways, keep it coming people! And post those movie titles! ;D
nice entry haddas, from the holy grail... no?
Yes. It is indeed from Monty Python & The quest for the holy grail
And as added above, mine is from "The Lord of the"..., I mean, "Army of Darkness". ::)
Haddas, I laughed a lot at your entry. :) Nice job, and that's one of my fav scenes.
Ozwalled, I'm not sure if that qualifies as a boomstick. And only dwarves are allowed to say "this is my boomstick". Did I just say that? I'm nerdier than I thought. Sorry, guys.
The boomstick line is directly out of the movie "Army of Darkness". Anyone can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's where it originally came from, and not from any dwarf (no offense).

Traced. Sucks (a bit).
It doesn't have to be animated then?
Nope, doesn't have to be animated...just a "funny character/object/whatever from a movie. "

Largo, i wouldnt call that a sprite, it's just a capture of the delorian from back to the future with drawing around it... the perspective isnt even right.

I know, I know, I just drew something.
Why does everyone keep going on about perspectives? ::)
I might try making a real sprite instead of a Paint/Photo mixup.
Geoff, I wouldnt question the man with the boomstick. He can say whatever he wants. :o ;)
Edit: Oops, theres two pages. Heh, um... ::)
Sorry. I thought boomstick was from Warcraft 3. I did not know that that was a reference to something even earlier.
Forgive me? :)
Forgiven (by me, anyway... I can't speak for anyone else ;) )... PROVIDED that you go out and rent or buy Evil Dead 1 & 2 and Army of Darkness. It's for your own benefit, really. ::)
I agree. Get army of darkness!
Any more entries people? Roughly 2 more days...

Woo, this competetion went by fast. Mostly because I was dreading having to pick a winner...
Now, first off, lemme say everyone did a smashing job, yada yada yada, etc. Heh, seriously though, it was very hard for me to choose this one...but after hours of contemplating....
The Winner is Ozwalled!!
First off, Ozwalled made a great choice by going with Army of Darkness. Now, the sprite itself I like muchos. I could tell by first glance where it was from. He did a good job with shading...it looks somewhat cartoony, but its shading goes with it pretty well, making it very unique, if nothing else. Good job, Ozwalled, and congratulations!

PS. Yay, the pressure's off!! :D
