#map stands for multi animator project

[hopalongfairywren]

one thing i'll say is 2020 really kickstarted the warrior cats horror/halloween project renaissance... All the lost footage tapes of course but also the Ghost Mosskit Map and the It's Me Map. And then 2021 was fucking insane so many good maps legitmately well produced. You can't hide. You will be okay. Of course This is Halloween. Also I don't remember if that was the first halloween 'mapathon' but there was definately a mapathon last year. There's also one for this year but it's already out. It's just incredible I love the warrior cats fandom so much

if you see one literally titled MAPSMAPSMAPS by HANGMAPS it is literally a bait for this person to go scream at maps. they can stay ig (they had me fooled tho i was about to go off on them)

unfortunately my laptop and service is so shitty i quite literally cant report the picrews so i have decided instead to send the masses after them. in 99% of circumstances i would never condone sending people after others but you know damn well this is valid this time.

I wish I could participate in some sort of sonic MAP project soooo bad it would be so cool but i never see it going around ever

I can’t animate so this will never exist, but Warrior Cats MAP concept: Bramblestar and Squirrelflight MAP to the song Don’t You Want Me by The Human League with 80s inspired designs that highlights how bad of a partner Bramblestar (And also the male POV from the song) are

(I’ve made a post about this before but hey, I have more followers now so here we go again)

About 3 years ago I made a Kingdom Hearts MAP Call and it has not been getting a lot of traction… or at least not a lot of people are joining, so I’m making a new post about it!

So starting with the basics, because I know MAPs aren’t necessarily common around these parts…

What is a MAP?

MAP stands for Multi Animator Project.

It’s essentially when a group of animators come together to make an animated video (normally a music video). Sometimes they’re scripted (like this one), sometimes you’re free to do whatever you’d like (so long as it’s within the rules), and most of them are fandom or OC based.

This MAP in particular is a PMV (Picture Music Video) MAP. Which means there’s not much, if any, actual animation involved.

When I opened this MAP, I wasn’t confident I’d be able to find enough KH animators so specifically made it single frame PMV (with camera movement or tweening, both of which I could help with if you’re not comfortable).

That means helping out with this project would just be like drawing a single art piece.

Does that interest you at all?

If so, here’s the MAP call on YouTube

(it shows you what part of the song goes along with each part in the script)

And speaking of the script,

Here’s a link to that and the rules

You can apply here (in DMs or replies), on YouTube (by making a comment), or on Discord (using the server)

If you have any other questions feel free to ask me! I promise I don’t bite lol

Thank you for considering ^^

Backup artists needed!!

Hey all!! We've had some folks have to drop out from the MAP due to life getting a bit too busy, and I'd like to ask around for possible backup artists to join in for The One Moment MAP!

This is a PMV style multi-animator project, open to artists of all levels, and 3D artists are welcome to join as well! It's a project dedicated to showcasing our favorite moments in destiny, from high energy boss fights to soft original character moments.

A full information document about what a multi-animator project is, information about submissions, and prompts to help you get started can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GcHddQmzWfPrghfsvUwifrG9jFvARmbjrPlLAwpWRps/edit?usp=sharing

In terms of progress, we are at our second check-in date but due dates are likely going to be extended just to be sure everyone has enough time to work on their parts (this is TBD based on current progress and part assignments).

As of typing this part 4 is once again open for anyone who'd like to step in and help out! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we don't loose any more folks but just in case I'd like to have a handful more backup artists signed up and placed on stand-by just in case!

As a backup artist you won't be able to pick what part you want to do, and instead you'll be filling in for whatever parts are currently available. You'll be credited as normal alongside all the other artists, and you'll be given additional time to ensure that you aren't rushed to keep up the same pace with the other artists. Even if you aren't assigned a part right away, you'll be allowed into the project discord to chat and brainstorm with fellow artists :0

If this sounds like something right up your ally feel free to fill out the form below and i'll reach out to you as soon as possible!

a pitch on reverse 1999 MAPs

Okay, quick question. Does anyone ever wanted to try and organize a MAP of the game?Not only about the full on game, but maybe from one of the events? This idea came up when I saw one of those warriors map on YouTube..

If anyone doesn't know what a MAP is, it's like where different people make a small animation for a bigger one (?) It also stands for Multi Animation Project, I want to try and host it or have someone help me hosting it.I just see the potential on it, share this and tell me what you think.

(this is my first time using a gif so yeah..)

[zee-rambles]

Hey! Its the anon that reached out about the idea of doing a MAP call. Sorry I didn’t explain earlier, I’ve been having a ton of brainfog. M.A.P. stands for multi-animator project. Usually a MAP is set to a song, which is then split into different parts and each person animates a part which are then collected and edited together to make up the whole song. I’m bad at explaining so I’ll provide some examples. Some maps have storyboards, while others just have scripts, and anything maps usually just have a color pallet. They can have a variety of skill levels as well as topics and songs

Here’s a nice color pallet themed map for an example of a finished product (https://youtu.be/EA5KYLyVlmA)

Here’s a PMV map because they’re not all fully animated (https://youtu.be/AA1Bckqam7Q)

Here’s a breakdown of how to host a map (https://youtu.be/5jvX5x7Amvg)

Hopefully you don’t feel any pressure to do anything, I just wanted to try to give you some resources to explore maps in case you were curious.

Anyways I hope you have a wonderful day and keep up the good work with trying to get a season 3!

So…I don’t know much about animating. I’ve made a few gifs, but that’s about it. I’m not sure how I would do a multianimator project, but it would LOVE if fans did that for Rise. Right now, I’m holding a DTIY contest…though I dunno if anyone is interested in that…heh…so I don’t even know if I will do a MAP call in the future.

But hey, if there is an idea you have for Rise…DO IT! Not only will you express yourself artistically, but the more content out there the better! Thanks for explaining, and I do hope we get a season 3! We can’t give up! Keep Rise going, before, during, and after Mutant Mayhem, recommend it to new TMNT fans after MM and we still have a chance!

actually im curious now

(MAP stands for multi animator project)

[princekirijo]

I almost wanted to say I'm surprised that you've never heard of a MAP, but I realize that I guess they can be kinda niche jfnfjfnd BUT if you're curious, it stands for "Multi Animator Project" and they're basically big collabs between a number of animators with a specific theme/script, where each person animates to a section of a song, then when they're done it all gets put together!! They've been around for a while, since some time in the early 2010s I believe, and I believe the Warrior Cats fandom is what started them, and warrior cats MAPs are definitely the most common and well known ones, but other fandoms have made some too, plus there's ones for OCs or ones where the animator can choose what media they want to do!!

Ohhh OK I kinda guessed what it was based on like the context of your post but that's really cool! I'll be honest I think I'd seen MAP before but I'd just never really come across it properly 😅

Honestly sounds like a really fun idea thank you for explaining it to me :D

[indagonightmare]

"MAP" should only stand for multi animator project, keep YouTube Warriors OCs sacred and stop trying to be nice to pedophiles.

I think the reason tumblr doesn’t like the tag MUD is bc that acronym usually stands for ‘medically unrecognized disorder’ among some controversial communities on tumblr, jsyk!

Oh, huh. Thanks!

I still think Tumblr is dumb for it, though. 'Mud' returns the same result... You know, the thing that happens when dirt becomes wet. If they're blocking controversial communities from search then they should also block 'map' and 'maps' (acronym for minor attracted persons) regardless of the overarching idiocy it will do to multi animator projects and, well, maps made for location and traveling, but they don't.

Yet, I think self-identifying pedos that may or may not preach no-contact are a bit more of a concern than people postulating over 'medically unrecognized disorders.'

But that's just me. And I know you're not staff, anon, so I'm going on a ramble for no particular reason.
