Q&A for How to Create an Object Show

It can have different genres, but most people just stick with reality.

If the number of votes is zero, you can either cancel elimination or make a mini-challenge deciding who will be eliminated.

You can use shadows. Use BFDI for a good example, because the contestant "Blocky" is just a red cube.

Just count the first of their votes unless they say that they want to change it.

Easy. Do not count the votes past the deadline. It was their own fault they voted late, so you're under no obligation to count them.

A camp is where people sign up and make projects and get rated, usually on Algodoo. A show is Where YOU decide what happens, and nobody signs up.

Pick a name that has the name of the show's prize in it (e.g. "BFDI" which is "Battle For Dream Island" since an island is the prize). or a name that describes the show (e.g. "Object Mayhem," which is as crazy as it sounds!).

Yes, but if you're going to use someone else's character, you have to give them credit.

It all depends on how long you want the show to be, as well as whether or not you'll do recommended characters and rejoins. If you want a shorter show, ten to fourteen objects is a good amount. If you want your show to be medium-length, then sixteen to twenty contestants is a good set. If you want a longer show, twenty-four to thirty contestants would be ideal. Try to avoid going over fifty contestants, as this could hinder character development and make the show a drag for viewers, especially if there are multiple rejoins and recommended characters.

Download the program from the official Adobe website. Google "Adobe Flash" and it should be the first option that comes up.

It's a little plain and self-evident; you might want to find a way to spice up the title a bit.

Adult jokes and swearing are usually as far as 18+ shows will go. If you are doing this, make sure to include disclaimers that it is for older audiences.

It's usually when there are multiple animators working on the show. Different art styles can add some spice to your show, but they have to stay at least somewhat consistent.

Usually, the object show has 2 or more teams, and during the first episode there is no elimination, but a team has to lose a challenge in the 2nd part of the 1st episode or the 2nd episode, then you wait for the votes to come in. Then, in the next episode, the team up for elimination goes to an elimination area, and the host tells who is safe with the least amount of votes, then gradually works up to the person who has the most votes, and that contestant is eliminated.

You can do them yourself by trying out different voices, or you can ask some friends if they'd like to voice some objects in your show!

You could use FireAlpaca, but it only supports frame by frame animation, from what I've seen. It's completely free, though, and is easy to learn.

Adobe Animate has that good feature. Have multiple layers, grab an image for reference (but don’t trace over it), top layer outline, second layer is lighter shading, third for normal colors, fourth is for darker shading.

That is completely your call. You can make as many seasons as you want. I wouldn't make too many, as people may get tired of the show, but it's really up to you.

You could use Flipaclip or RoughAnimator to animate and ibis Paint X, Procreate, or MediBang to make the assets.

Changing the name would be the best option. You could always look up the show name you're thinking about using to see if it's already taken.

You don't have to do anything. You've put the warning up, and that's all that's necessary. If someone ignores the warning, that's not your problem or responsibility.

It depends on your choice. If you have way too many contestants (like over 40), divide them in teams, like BFB did.

Definitely! There are lots of Scratch object shows, such as Battle of the Websites or Fight for the Quadrillion Dollars.

Yes. You can use other names, but you are still able to use BF or Object, it just won't sound as unique. You could try using other terms because it's your show, and if you resort to using those, it's fine.

Most body assets are done with high quality software, so people would normally use Adobe Flash, but some use painting software, such as Paint Tool Sai, Alpaca and more. Some people use Microsoft Paint to draw assets. You can use any software you want to use, it is up to you to decide if you want your assets to look clean with smooth lines to keep it modern or to give it pixelated lines to give it a game ambience.

This is acceptable, but making an original character is much easier. If you still want to do so, you can do what you have stated, or you can make a completely new one. Both ways have their pros and cons, but choose what you find most suitable.

Avoid doing so. If you do the following, your viewers may receive bad vibes from you, and may eventually unsubscribe. Or, if you're starting a new channel with this show, people may throw insults and protect the original.

Flip A Clip, and Animation Desk are 2 good starter ones. You can't add too much detail, but the first episodes don't have to be high-quality.

Ask a few of you're friends if they are up for it. If not, make a voice acting announcement and let people join it.

It depends on the reason. Some might be okay with it if you give a good reason like "Final exams are coming up and I need to study." or "I have a job and that's my main priority right now so the episode might come out late."
