I changed the name cause of the pending TEN parody episodes. Keep up the good work, keep up the school(collage) work too.

Why did you close the original in the first place?

But on-topic, I still stand by thinking they're unfunny.

Your just weird anyway. No one really knows weather your just retarded(cause you disagree on everything I do(I tryed to be your friend, but no, you just don't seem to care)) or if you just don't understand comedy.

Sorry to those who saw this, but I had to let it out(freedom of speech, it is here in the U.S. and I take it literally), it itched at me, I couldn't hold it in. But I'm not sorry for semp, he just isn't cool to me.

Topic: I will get the vids on latter and/or you can post them. Ether way the videos will be on.

1. Not sharing someone's opinion doesn't mean they're retarded.
2. I understand comedy, but I have far different tastes than you.

Freedom of speech also applies to opinions, bro.

I'm supposed to believe this how...?

Ok, you want me to prove it? I am changing the title on our YouTube page to "We are SCParody on DarkSpyro" (Couldn't fit ".net" in the title) If you can think of any better way to "Test" me to prove I truly am the co-creator, feel free to suggest; then can we get back on topic please?

Also, if you view our Facebook page, there is a post earlier today stating we have joined DarkSpyro.net and our username is SCParody

Check out the closed topic about your parody, it's still in the fanfic thread, not to far down.

Yeah, it was mine, as is this one. You guys know I got him to come on here, he has already seen the previous topic.

QQ: What was your favorite part/funniest part of the whole parody?

I just wanted to say that I have been reading through the first forum created on this topic and I want to thank all of you for your kind words of our little productions x3 Our main goal is to put a smile on your face when you've had a long day! And to know we have succeeded really means so much to me!

......"Wasn't Malefor the guy I beat in ANB?"

"That was me."

"Oh, yeah.... you were hotter then."

Answering my question: Favorite quote? The entire thing should be repeated as one big quote. ;)

I don't think he was taking a side, its the freedom of speech thing. Anyway, I never really liked semp actually. He gets on my nerves. And this topic is in the fandom section, so yeah I figured fans of the parody would be ones to post.

If you have no idea what I mean then I'll put it this way: SCparody just said he doesn't like others to try and make it hard to be a fan(its hard to put into a sentence really). And he wasn't taking sides, sure I'm a fan, but he could disagree at anytime.

Lets not make this a big debate topic: Q:Who would you say you thought was the funniest character?

okay okay, i believe you know sorry for not believing before, it's just some people are lame enough to impersinate someone (speaking of which, does anyone know if the ShaloneSK on here is the real deal?)
also, you did more than put a smile on my face, you made me laugh so hard i had an asthma attack

also, just out of curiousity, are you guys still doing parodies of the other games? not trying to be pushy, just wondering.

I completely understand. We actually had a guy ion YouTube recently claiming to be a part of our productions ’ It's flattering in a way; but we don’t want people mis-communicating anything about us. I’m so glad we made you laugh so much! But I’m so sorry you had an asthma attack! I actually grew up with asthma and I hope you had your albuterol handy. It’s kind of funny, when I had to go through high school gym class, I used to carry around a portable, battery-powered, nebulizer; and whenever I used it, it looked like I was smoking a funky electronic pipe of sorts. xD I recommend Advair if you’re not on it already; it does wonders to prevent attacks, especially if you are into physical activity. Anyway…

In regards to ShaloneSK, I’ll have to ask her about that; is it the same username here on DS?

As far as the new parodies are concerned, we are still making them! We’re just so heavily buried in school this semester. So we can only work on them in little chunks x3 But we are steadily making progress and we hope to have a couple videos done soon. I try not to give specific dates because I never want to let anyone down; but it has been far too long and we are just as eager to see the finished product as all of our friends out there

QQ for SCP: are you in collage? You said something about the noisy cafeteria in the pm(from YT)

QQ for SCP: are you in collage?

Yep! In fact, every member of SC Productions is in college right now Personally, I am studying digital media!

Yeah, I can tell. I can't even get videos or pictures from the Wii online.

Anywho: Q: Which part of the entire parody would you say was "different"?(I had no specific words to make an actual question)
Mine: Just about any part with Ignitus.

Ok, so no one has a part in mind that wasn't really(lets put it this way) wasn't much as a funny thing, more of an ocword situation?

You may ask you own questions too, or just have random quote talk.

I watched your parody episodes SCParody (despite not playing the LOS games at all) a few months ago when I discovered them through a Spyro forum, and quite so - I laughed a lot. Taking on the ride of "It's so bad that it's so funny" indeed! You guys being in college would've explain why you didn't post in new episodes lately. Seeing this topic makes me want to see those videos again (eventually...I gotta do something else first).

Thank you for those who worked on the parodies. I will await for your new videos coming. Right now it's ponies, and real life stuff I have to face, and the occasional Skylanders topic updating in the coming days.

I adore the parodies. I don't think they're the funniest thing in the world, but I still love them.

So Alexander, can I call ya Alex? Because I'm to lazy to type that whole name AND it reminds me of 'Amnesia'. Fricken Alexander trying to trick Daniel....

ANYWAY

How's the production going? And how many hours of work do you put into one video?

I loved the parodies me self.

"Ow, ow, OWW! Who put all these pillars here?"

"hunter, aren't you going to shoot the arrow?"
"i..i can't! i'm scared stiff!"

Alex is just fine I'm not one to easily get offended

Production is moving along slower than I would like due to 2 reasons: 1. Because of our busy college lives demanding most of our time and 2. Due to an odd technical problem, we actually have to record our voices on a different computer (in a different room) than the one we render it all together on.

It's difficult to say how much time we put into one video, that's a good question. The hardest part of it all is getting started; taking usually about an hour of raw footage and beginning the process of whittling it down into a short parody film. The gathering of footage usually takes a little more than an hour per video, depending on what we need. Then it ranges from as little as 8 hours to as many as 24 (Not all at once) to get the footage into something workable. We can usually record the lines in 2 1-hours sessions; but we usually need to go back and fix a few. After that, it usually takes me about 4 solid hours of work to shore up the lines to the footage and add subtitles. Then about an hour of work to do the credits and then we're ready to roll it out!

The difficulty lies in trying to dedicate that much time to do a video with work and school. And it's always tougher to pick up production "Right where we left off" when we have been away from it for a few weeks. But we are putting our best foot forward to try and get these new videos out asap and we hope you really enjoy them.

Thank you so much!

Aww thank you so much! I appreciate that so much! I really do regret that it has been so long... We have had a number of changes in our lives; but we are working at our best to get them done. But we do want to make sure we make a quality video for everyone out there; no like sloppy work :3

well we wouldn't want you to fail(collage) now would we. So yeah, I don't care how long it takes, I just want to laugh my way through another Spyro fan-fix video. So if your too buddy, we understand, just don't overwork yourselves.

I don't know how often people check this discussion out; but I thought I might throw this question out there: Does anyone have any behind-the-scenes questions? I think I might post a few random facts now and again just for fun. Anyway, Thank you all for you support and your comments, I'll try to keep everyone well informed on our video progress!

Seeing as you asked:

Was getting voice actors hard?
Or, if you only did it yourself, did you find it hard to come up with a suitable voice for each character?

That's an easy voice to do.

I have one: was the technicolor part, when they came out of the cave the wrong way, did you make the screen go green or did it do that on its own?

It has been a loooong time, but i'll quick mesage him on youtube if he isn't on in a few days.

TEN? they haven't done ANB yet

^Well it was specifically put that TEN was next at the end of the last one. Sorry if it sounds blunt but, you can't put expression in text, I mean besides outing emphasis on it before the sentence. Ok, I PMed Alex, just waiting to see if he has time, they probably don't have to go to v
Collage anymore(just a thought).

The Technicolor effect was an accident. For the first 4 episodes, we were working with a seemingly faulty version of Pinnacle Studio and it NEVER rendered basic transitions correctly. So that was supposed to be a simple "fade-in" effect; but it gave us a stupid green overlay " Originally, the "Technicolor" line wasn't even referring to that; but it seemed to work with it; so we left it as is!

Yes, I wish to extend my most sincere apologies for my absence This has been the most difficult of college semesters and it has demanded more of my time than I ever thought possible. Even so, it is no excuse for losing contact with so many of our fans. Sadly, but justifiably, many have given up on us; but this semester is history and I am putting forth a lot of effort over the next few days to clean up my computers and clean up my act here online so I can deliver the correspondence and videos that you all rightfully deserve! Thank you for everything and hopefully you'll see some videos soon!

Seeing as you asked:

Well, we have never really sought out any voice actors. It is just the two of us that voice all of the characters in the parodies. We have had some challenges, given the fact that it is the same two people doing all of the voices, such as:

Sparx and Spyro's voices are nearly identical; this was one of several reasons why we opted to use subtitles; but even we screw it up sometimes. For example: The line "I'm not God" from Episode 5, is said by Sparx; but in my haste to complete the subtitles, I interpreted it to be Spyro. So that is a mistake xD

When making Episode 8, I (The voice of Cynder, Hunter etc.) voiced Malefor's main voice; but when I tried to make the "Nerdy Mark Hamill" version of his voice, it sounded too similar to Cynder so my colleague/sibling (The voice of Spyro, Sparx Meadow etc.) voiced that part instead.

Also, we have a bit of an inconsistency for the voice of Cyril. In Episode 5, he is modeled directly after Mr. T; but we found it difficult to come up with any more lines for him; so we changed him to being British for his brief appearance in Episode 6.

So yeah, it is kind of difficult only having 2 of us; but that is part of the fun of our production, seeing if we can pull it off!

I completely forgot about this topic: I'm very sorry. I don't know how to say this other than: My memory sucks, BIG time.

Ha, I knew it(technicolor) was mistaken. I never actually noticed the relativity to most of the voices. Also I haven't been able to watch them recently, I think I'll go through them once more, since I can't remember it now.

Oh, and: Thanks for the info and update!
