Hey there, guys!
Whoa, quite a task you've taken on, there! I'm very excited to see where this collab goes.

I have some experience with programming lengthy animations on Scratch - you may know my Colour Divide…? Anyway, episode 1 of that is 6 mins of (what I'd say is) quality animation, and it hit the data limit. I'm not trying to say what you're going for is impossible, but it will be difficult. At least, with the level of quality you're aiming for without hitting the data limit.

Then, there's the matter of pausing. It's pretty much impossible to practically implement pausing an animation in Scratch. But if your animation is an hour long, what if scratchers don't have time to watch the whole thing without stopping? Hmm, maybe you could do like scene selection or something… That could work!

I have a proposal for your collaboration that could solve both of those issues I pointed out… I'm sorry if it seems like I'm butting in, or being annoying or overly critical. I'm only giving some friendly suggestions. I just like to help out.

Okay, my proposal:

You could do the movie in separate parts!
One part per project.

It wouldn't be the same as like, an animated series, because you could release them all at once on the collab account. That way you have more leeway for top-notch animation, and scratchers can stop between the parts instead of watching the entire hour in one go.

Maybe each part could be ten minutes, still an unheard of length on Scratch, and then you could have like six parts to the full movie.

Just a suggestion.

If you need advice on making efficient, non-data-limit-hitting programming/animating, just give me a shout.

You know, This might actually be better than an hour long movie, Who doesn't like a good cliffhanger? Splitting it into like, 5 or 6 parts might be the best option. We don't run over the data limit, and we also don't lose the attention of the scratchers that we are trying to gain.

Guys! The backpack is down right now, so we can't do the project! Everyone who is working on it please don't unite the assets right now.

We should really get back on topic. We haven't really been talking about this actual movie project and not other stuff. Let's decide on a movie idea.
