Just one thing... Who will be directing? Me, Bolt, CAV, Raquaz(SP?) or somebody else?

Not me. I didn't get a vote, so that rules me out. And I'm already doing voice acting. Possibly even two voices if we don't get enough people.

Quote: Bolt

You get it I guess unless someone else wants to do it because it is hard doing one I guess.

I have a feeling that someone will come in, and at that point I guess I'll try both and then everybody decides which is best for me. Me doing both voices is just a fallback.

Yup, you got what I meant perfectly.

Alright then. We got that settled.

yeah and im listening to hunters voice right i should be able to do it.

Alright, then. Great. Now we just need to recruit some more people, confirm the director, and make the site. Then we can confirm what everyone is working on and get started, I suppose.

Alright it looks like we'll be hitting the ground jogging.

I just thought of something. We really should write the script BEFORE animation, because then we will be able to get good lip-sync straight away rather than guessing and having to re-animate. Also, writing the script will give animators more time to make the character and background models, so everything would click together perfectly. Well, I doubt that the script would take months like models, but you get my drift.

Yeah it's best to do the script, and it won't be that hard since it will mostly be based on ANB's. It shouldn't take longer than a month.

Well, I think the script could be written by one person bit by bit, then everybody could help to edit and contribute some ideas then combine the best ones. That way, there won't be any arguments. If nobody volunteers, though, I can try to write some script drafts.

Hopefully we can get some people good at creating models in the project too(the furthest I've gotten is actually just a rectangle which would be useful for curves and character chests).

ok im downloading Blender now im gonna do some test animations.

I should download Blender just to mess around with it. :3

And I think for the most part that the script will revolve around ANB with some minor changes. We don't want to stray too far from the original source, because it'll end up as a disaster (i.e. The Last Airbender). But at the same time we need to make some changes so it isn't a carbon copy, and only using the cutscenes won't make it a full movie, so we'll need to add more pieces.

Yup. Like, we could add more detail and lines into the really short scenes, like right at the beginning when Spyro chases Sparx, one of their parents could come in and tell them to 'knock it off' or something then Sparx would taunt Spyro and so forth.

Yeah, we add more bits and pieces to make it longer than an hour. I'm aiming at it being around an hour and 20 minutes.

Hopefully it won't reach two hours. Two-hour movies make me impatient, and get boring to watch.

Honestly, I can watch a 3 hour movie and still be entertained, which is why I liked Avatar as much as I did...

But animated movies should never really be that long. I feel as though animated movies should never be longer than an hour and 40 minutes.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about Avatar. But I got impatient with Harry Potter 5/6. 7 didn't feel as long, though.
But even I would get impatient after watching ANB in movie form for two hours. XP
I agree about the time, an animated movie shouldn't go for an hour and fifty minutes IMO- and it should only reach that length if it's got a ton of stuff in it.

Well, anyway, I think I'll log out for now and get started on some reference sheets, maybe try to make some small models, and finish some requests on my back so I can start working on this.

im watching a blender tutorial....

The only movie that I found long was Lord of the Rings 3, because it was plain out boring throughout.

Exactly. An hour and 20 minutes should be enough to make a movie out of ANB.

yeah thats the perfect lengh..

So, who will do which characters? I would like to make Volteer and maybe Sparx. I think that Rayquaz and I should have both some harder characters and some easier ones to balance things out.

Also, anybody up for script writing?

wait a min...

Try this scale: DimX 1.200 and DimY 0.300, If you can do that yet. It's similar to the parts on Cynder's ANB model's chest.

this program is so confusing....

I know... I've managed to figure out how to change the angle of an object and make squares, though.

EDIT: I'm getting better with it and am trying to join objects. Now I pretty much just need to learn how to post my models.

Woah! Another movie project? I don't know which one to join!!

The other is still collecting members, and we are too, but I've already begun learning Blender and am beginning to make some models. It's up to you, really, but we only have 4 people.

Hmmm... The only problem is that I've already sent an application to Jasher... If it is denied, is it alright if I join? I know it doesn't sound very loyal, but I honestly don't know which one!!

yeah i think that will be fine.

I think Rayquaz would make a fantastic Hunter, I know her in real life and trust me, she can definitely do it.

That's fine. If you ever want to join this one, I'm sure you can just ask Jasher if you can leave their project.

I've started working on Volteer.

Volteer is one of meh fav elders.
EDIT: i really don't know how to use this program sorry : ( .

Alright. If anybody else wants to help me to animate and give it a shot, please download a 3D modeling program called Blender at Blender.org.

can i ask something.......
HOW THE HELL DO YOU EVEN START DRAWING!!! .

Erm, actually, you don't draw in Blender

Go to 'Add' then select 'Plane' and you get a basic square.

So, is it okay with everyone if I'm the main director and Bolt is my co?

yeah ok and i stil can't figure it out....

Okay. Now we just need CAV's permission.

Made the site yet, Bolt?

There is a website where you can download Spyro models in Blender, I'll find a link if you want Rayquaz.

ok thanks

Wait... Are they allowed to be used? Cause we can't use EL's or Krome's, or we could be sued.

I'm pretty sure that is EL's, but I'll try out an animation as a test.

ok but im gonna failzz.

also angel220200 might help cause i asked her on mesenger and i also know her as she said personaly.
