matt, you should think about what will be involved, like people's positions as, animator, texturer, script writers, concepts, themes, style, colour, story board, lip-sync, sound, titles, models, terrain, sets to match the colour and style of the theme and movie, characters and 'closet' for colour contrast (don't want white aliens on a white background), music, folleys, continuity, cameras, lights, ...stuff like that.

oh yea, subtitles, it would be good to have subtitles because thi is an international project, interplanetry??

take it easy and life will be easy

ok sweet. I think sephiroth, u the oversear right? U should start giving out positions try to get to move a bit more. Or at least estimating what must be done. Maybe a list would be good. Yes im all for fantasy too. Oh do we have a story yet? Anyone have an idea for a storyline, or even a short already written story might do. Fantasy ofcourse. Lets do this :attn:

hey... i thought i was the overseer! :blush:

mirek-
and most of the lighting and color themes and cameras and settings and environments, will be done in concept sketches.

I, at least, have a 6x8inch Wacom, and I do digital paintings on it all teh time.

I second that emotion...

I got a wacom today, don't have a cue about it but it may come in handy for story boarding??

take it easy and life will be easy

well, i just woke up so this might be crappy, and its just the basics:

A man with a big sword (a warrior style dude) walks into a peaceful villiage on the edge of a valley. Nothing bad has happened there for thousands of years. The man comes in and demands to speak to the mayor for "urgent business". He talks to the mayor (we dont see him talking or hear him, but we see the mayor's face go all pale and he looks frightened).

Turns out the warrior went this way to prepare for a massive attack from the unholy armies of the East, And this was their first attack point. This villiage held a strategic defense point, so he came to fight here instead of at the big city far west.

He wants to get a whole bunch of villiagers to fight for him. He trains them and prepares them for battle.

They fight and they lose against the incoming unholy armies. They are forced to retreat into the big city where a huge battle is fought inside and ouside its streets.
And of course, in the end the good guys win. The warrior is slain, however, and a big funeral is held for him.



I kno this is verry rough, but what do u think?

Live the life you love, love the life you live

damn...that's awesome I say we go with that one. what do you guys think? I think it is an awesome storyline that seems stereotypical in certain ways but in others it is more original. Lets elaborate.

Live the life you love, love the life you live

Well, this is more of my idea- rather then a valley- how about a peninsula.

this is a quick 40 minute speed paint in photoshop

Live the life you love, love the life you live

Hiya there guys...

Slatamilian had a really great idea.
Unfortunately it seems like the thing has gotten kinda out of hand or something.. I've read the whole thread, and I do have some ideas about what can be done.

I think that Simply Maya can back this up somehow.. either by creating a TEAM COMPETITION, or giving us some help. Gathering your team up to 7 persons and create your own sequence would be really nice...
That way we will all get a grip and finish the project .
In case that cannot be done, an alternative could be for simply maya to helps us in a different kind of way, like if we manage to finish the project , they'll be kind and offer us a dvd-release
Simply Maya Branded of course...
Anyway that were just some ideas I had...

Other than that,
you can still continue on the "work together" scheme, but although it might seem a bit old (star wars), I would suggest the Jet race idea.

I believe that we we could work with the souroundings of the race rather the race itself.We could create a sort of ...different perspective, with glimpses of the race but by not being focused on it . For instance let's say that next to the starting point, lives a small family of weird looking creatures that are of some centimeters high... No one knows about them!! And everytime the race happens, they are in trouble or something...
Or we could have some cool alien reporter taking an interview, and saying some funny stuff... that are related to the race, and we only see glimpses of the race with highlights.
That way we can do certain scenes and leave out many difficult parts, like handling the crowd... since the crowd will only be seen at the start, and for a short period of time... so we'd have no problem doing it in lower quality.

Anyway that's all. I've added some of you in my msn, I sincerely hope this work.

See you around.

Live the life you love, love the life you live

well? What do we do guys? The fantasy or the jet race? Lets figure this out quickly because if we just keep talking about this and not get anything done we won't be able to finish this before we give up on it. Lets get this started guys! We can do this.:p :p :p
