Title: ROBO
Post by: Ivoah on May 09, 2016, 12:07:00 AM
So my friend made a 37 minute long animated movie, which by itself wouldn't be terribly impressive, except for the program he used to make it. The entire thing (aside from text cutscenes) was made in powerpoint. He made each individual frame, copying the one before it and moving the different shapes. He uses it as a vector art suite instead of a slideshow creator. Anyways, you can watch it here:

Wow, I haven't used Powerpoint in 15 years or so and didn't know it could do such stuff O.O. Is the document large in file size? A very great job from him O.O

Also I wonder if the text cutscenes could have been done in Powerpoint or if he ran out of space or something?

Haha, there's no way the entire thing could fit in one powerpoint file, he split up into like a million different presentations. I'm not sure how big it all is, but I'm pretty sure it's > 1 GB. I'll ask him sometime.

Oh I see, I thought it was just one file but that he had narrowly ran out of space.

Do you mean your Chromebook came with a school filter built-in or something?

Yeah, I am working on taking it off, I am close but the process is slow without working up too much suspicion <_<

Oh ok. Make sure it can be enabled again so you won't get caught with it off during school work hours <_<

Well, I am good friends with the tech department at my school since they are all in FRC, but the last step is to make myself an admin on the domain or get someone else's pass code (I would prefer to make myself admin but they won't catch me logging into other peoples account because I would only do it in school so when google says new login location you just think it is a bug :P). Alternatively I could RAT the school and RC the desktops :trollface:

We should avoid discussing how to bypass admin security and school filters on the forums, though. <.<

It is multiple files. I believe he exports each PP file to a collection of still images, and then combines them all with some movie making program.
