I'm going to write a scene now!

Also, for the Earth scene (if needed), should I bring in my brother?

PAGE 6!!!!!

You can invite anyone to help that you'd like~. Every week or so I'll issue out my edits to the script and you can work them in and change them here and there as you see necessary. Then maybe we'll find a third writer with experience to make the final and complete edits before voice acting is looked for.

Okay! I finished that scene, but it's a short one, so I'll write another! This scene is the one where they discover that the Magic Source is gone.

I finished the scenes! I'm sending the PDF over.

Thank you . I always keep your up to date scripts on my computer for future editing.

Sent!

I'll have to download and open it once I get to my PC, but thanks again. x3.

Also if somehow we can share the e mail to log into the screenwriting program, would it let me go in and edit the script myself. That would keep you from having to edit every step of the way and I'd just bump up here whenever I made any majour edits.

Well, EMPEROR KAOS tried to edit, but 'Share' only let's people VIEW the script. And,
I'm a little uncomfortable giving you the password to my email. But, I'm okay with editing it.

Oh i didn't know it had to use your own e mail to get into it ;;;; and yeah that's okie then. I don't mind either way.

um
what are you animating with
again ..
??

I'm going to be using Photoshop and RETAS Pro.

Here's something. It's a little crazy. I need to know what Oguh might look like. The reason has to do with the Earth scenes.

Oguh is a molekin, right? *has been up for way too long and can't open the script atm*

Yeah, he's a Molekin. But, we can't let him be as dark as Hugo for the obvious reasons. So, if he's a Molekin.........

BING! He could look like Diggs, but younger.

Give him some kind of identifying feature that nobody else has? Like.....Maybe he has a dark patch on his fur/skin, or something that makes him unique.

Okay, because I need to get a mole puppet, and try to make it look like Oguh. It'll be fun!

When I am able to get home I'll look up molekins for reference and draw him out, but I'm still not around my computer just yet so. I'm stuck over here with no art equipment and just a phone to post from.

Is there an accurate date when this will be out? when should i finish my sequence by?

Ask Kurui. I don't really know. I'm just working on the script.

No date yet. No deadlines for now. Just working at script at our own pace~. Now when I recruit the voice actors I'll probably ship a deadline they need to have the recordings by. And when we get to the animation part I'll have individual deadlines for certain scenes. And then when post production is started I'll probably have a deadline for the actual movie itself. But we shouldn't rush this~. Quality over speed.

Exactly. If anyone applies to be voice actor, we need to send them the script. Also, in some parts, the character talking gets interrupted by another, but it happens very quickly, so we need to edit it in a way so it'll sound smooth and flowing.

Do you know what I mean?

I can edit any audio and I'll be holding auditions for voices anyway so we'll have a more than capable cast~. The VAA have extremely talented people ready to voice act any script so. That's where most of my actors will probably come from.

Could I post it on tumblr when it is finished?

We should post it on the facebook page. i have a feeling they will recognize it.

When we have a trailer (the long one) and are near completion, I do plan on advertising it around. I usually keep my projects secret until they're about to head off to public as finished pieces.

So far i think I have "Skyl", "Direc", and a mini Glumshanks face.

But my idea for the titles is to have "Skylanders: Old" in black and white, and "New" in color

I like the idea of the OLD in black and white and NEW in colour~ Very creative

I might change the "skylanders" part to it's normal color scheme(but no shading)

For the titles, I'd suggest having everything except for the Skylanders and Od and New logos be regular text.

Probably some plain and easy to read text then. But i could find a way to animate the letters and words to make it look nice~

Okay. For the Earth scenes, my idea is that the Portal Master does something (idk what) to help the Skylanders. Ough is on Earth, and the PM sees it, but thinks it's a normal mole.

The twist: I use a video camera.

Yes. That gives me a bigger idea.

How about yes, mixing our cartoon animations with real video footage throughout. You can be "the Portal Master" that enters the scene during the movie and helps the Skylanders and Oguh return. I can use a video editing software to edit in anything together that needs to be edited in.

That's where my brother comes in! And I'll be able to edit the actual video clips.

Here are my diffrent styles of Spyro...

i like the one in the middle

Those look awesome :3 We'll probably use the Skylanders Spyro I assume when it's all done with.

The way animating will work is by scenes, you'll do sketchy animations of some, and I'll do sketchy animations of some. Then Kaos and I will import them into RETAS and the other hi end program to line/colour/tween/etc. and then composite. Then into the video editor for the final effects and video rendering.

Those are great. Of course, this is a Skylanders film, so I think we only need one of them if needed, but they are all really good!

Any suggestions for the next scene? Well, I know what the next scene is, but what about the scene after it?

And, I just sent an updated script with a new scene featuring Hektore and a mystery character.

When I get home (or get their laptop) I'll download and read it~.

Ugh, it doesn't let me edit anything =.=''' But I'll be moving a lot of the movie production things to my new Skylander-centric forums soon. So in order to keep up with it more, ~~

http://forum.lairofkaos.com/index.php

This is where it will be once I get everything set up. :3 We'll have a section on the website itself too but I haven't gotten around to editing the website portion just yet.

Okay. I'll continue to email script updates.

Any updates on the music? I still can't wait to hear the main theme!

Waiting on Vincent. They haven't contacted me back yet on anything but as soon as they do and Kaos adds his part and makes a shortened version, I'll be animating a short teaser for the movie.

Okay! Also, for the Earth scenes.....

I will edit all the shots together and THEN send them to you. I haven't filmed them yet, but that's probably what's going to happen.

I found a beaver puppet on the Folkmanis website, and if I hide the body, it just might make a good IRL Oguh.

Yesh could do~ and it doesn't matter if you shoot them quickly or no. Cause sometimes things take awhile to get good takes so don't worry if we have to make do overs or anything.

Believe me, I've done multiple takes multiple times.

lol It'll probably be that way with the animating too. Multiple tries to get a shot to look exactly right. This is my first bigger animated production. I've only done small shorts and animated character portraits for games before, nothing big time like this~

I'm writing a scene now. Will email when finished.

I have a computer atm but no way of editing scripts (my parents don't let me save things to their computer or mess around their programs -.-;;; ) but I'll read it over when I can.
