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.

They really need to have a house, but if you'd like to make one, that's perfectly fine.

Everyone can make an object show.

Some people like the characters in other shows, so they want to animate them or interact with them. Sometimes, it is just some item that happens to be on hand, like a pencil or a cup. You can make the same characters but as long as they have different personalities or design or names.

FlipaClip is probably best.

It depends on the elements of the show and the objective of the show. For some shows, it would still be considered an object show. Take a look at the “Tiny Taco Tales” object show, for example.

Make another voting or make the objects nominated to compete for not being nominated and staying, and last object to do so is out.

You can use another object for host, for Example: Speaker (Battle For Dream Island), Clayman (Object CHAOS [Concept]). It does not have to be a microphone, only an object that represents the host.

Yes. You can voice it yourself, or you can get a team. It will be good either way.

The teams should be even, and there should be an even number of teams to make it fair.

You don't need to until you want to. YT is a streaming program, so you can record the project, OR you can convert the frames and sprites into SVG files and put THOSE into Adobe Animate.

It depends on the rating and interpretations. Some object shows are kid-friendly. Others may have more adult themes.

Yes, as long as they are free to use, and you credit the asset creators and cite the link to the asset.

Yes, if you want to be considered "Mature Audience." But expect some backlash and maybe some cancellations.

Yes. You can do an object show for any age group.
