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.

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

No. You can use the "-y" at the end of the name ("firey", leafy", "cabby", etc.), but you don't have to. Some people use names of objects like "lightning", "fan", and "disc."

Flipaclip is great for animation and CapCut for editing. Both are free and beginner-friendly.

There are plenty of object shows that are made in PowerPoint. It's a good alternative to animation. It's also very simple.

Yes, but your viewers may vote them out first because it's called an object show, not a reality show.

You can have a contestant vote. Keep friendships and relationships in mind. Maybe you should advertise your object show so you can get votes.

Make one and save the other. Then when you are done with the first, do the other.

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.

One way is to use Google Forms, and link the poll in the description of your video. Put in the names of everything that was up for voting When time is up, take the poll down. Sign into your Google Account and view the votes in google forms.

It depends on the show you wanna make. There are a few non-objects in shows, such as David in BFDI, Big Orange Chicken from Brawl of the Objects, and even Exclamation Mark from Animatic Battle. So, if you ever want to include an animal in your object show cast, then do it!

Upon finding that nobody voted, the host could decide to host a tie-breaker. You could hand-pick someone to get out yourself, you could make the contestants decide who amongst themselves should be eliminated, or you could make a challenge that whoever performs the worst in is automatically eliminated in (whoever dies first is eliminated, last to finish the race is eliminated, etc.)

Yes. Fictional places can be made for these shows. You are allowed to create a fictional area for things to happen in.

Why, yes! You can do any elimination type you like. You can use a wheel, you can make fake votes. Anything you like.
