If anybody knows anyone good with these: we really need some voice actors and may need more artists. We also need another 3D animator badly.

Remember, the title is the LAST thing we do, because it isn't too important, and allows time for other stuff like models.

So, this is what will happen.


  • Our scripter will write pieces of the script. At several paragraphs each, they will post the script down so voice actors can get a good idea of what to do and everybody can contribute and the best and most liked ideas will be added on.
  • While the script is being made, artists will make reference sheets to help with modeling and background design.
  • At the same time, the modelers(such as myself) will be creating character and level models.
  • Then, after all of this, the music, voice acting and animation will be done.

Simple enough?

Well, technically not yet. We do need CAV to agree, of course.

If you can voice her well, you should voice her. Do you have an example video?

I don't understand animation. Does anybody here understand animating in Blender?

Reference sheets are just pictures of characters that you can look at to help make models.

I will never get it because it doesn't work on Mac. Though there is something that lets you play Windows stuff on Mac computers. I don't know what it is though.

Ahh, actually, reference sheets aren't in blender. They're optional, it just helps to look at them so you understand how to model the character. Note the reference.

Yes. Animation is very difficult, so we have little hope without at least 2 people to make models.

Again, thanks, everyone.

I just saw the other groups website and they don't like us making this by the sounds of it. They think we are letting just anyone join but we are letting people we think will do a great job and are determined to do it.

I don't see what the big deal is with it. People have different methods. If we all did everything the same way and had the same beliefs, it would make things boring. Besides. If they think we copied them, then you may as well say Asterix & Obelix 2 is horrible 'because it copied hundreds of games' or 'art sucks because so much of it's the same'.

Yeah, exactly. I agree. And I don't know, but it seems we are more organized than them with the parts and all. I haven't seen it lately, but they don't seem to be very organized...

I found a way to get rid of the ads on the website too, just get rid of the sidebar. Do you want me to give you the email and password so you can edit the website? I don't mind if you change the name of the site owner either, it will only be used so far to post news updates.

Mkay, so as of right now I'm playing Spyro and Sparx until someone else comes on. Then the both of us will audition for both characters and the director and co-director shall choose who gets which role.

And I could download Blender and fool around with it for a bit, and see what I can do. Doubt it will be presentable though. smilie

My permission? For what?

Bolt, I have a Youtube account. I can upload your example there. Either that, or we can just make a new Youtube for the project itself.

#196 Posted: 13:41:29 06/01/2011
I have a warning for both projects, based on something I just realised:

DON'T make the story directly based on one of the existing games. Make it an "unofficial sequel" to DotD, a short, funny animated film like those found before watching a Pixar movie, or a collection that parodies various aspects of the Spyro franchise.

The reason for this is because if we do make our own version of ANB, TEN or DotD, it will look like we are trying to "better" the original, and that can get us into trouble with the creators of the originals. It's happened before with fan projects. And seeing as many people on this site seem to hate DotD with a passion, they may try to rub our version in the faces of the original creators.

Just a thought...

We won't try to out-perform LoS. It's kinda impossible to make a MOVIE better than the GAME, seeing how they're two different kinds of entertainment. And for the most part we won't change much. ANB's script will be the majority of ours, while making some small changes.

We don't aim to out-perform Krome or EL. We want to provide the fans with the movie they wanted. And if there's something that can use improvement, the fans can tell us right away. The actual movie's developers wouldn't listen to critics. We would.

#198 Posted: 13:59:31 06/01/2011
But it's not a matter of you TRYING to out-perform it....it's a matter of the people thinking you DO out-perform it. Game developers kind of get annoyed when a fan-made recreation of something gets a ton more praise than the real thing. It happens.....and seeing as Activision owns Spyro now.....

If the fan movie gets more praise than the games (which I kinda doubt will happen), then that's not our fault. We didn't tell the fans to like it THAT much. We were just making a modest film to satisfy the people what wanted a movie, and they got it. Weither or not it gets more praise than the games is not our choice.

#200 Posted: 14:08:17 06/01/2011
I know that. I'm not saying don't do it(well...I did, but I over-reacted!smilie)......just be aware of the consequences....

However, I know of a similar project that got away with it.....I think the creators e-mailed the official developers, informing the creators of the original that they weren't trying to make a profit, nor were they trying to compete with the official project. Maybe we should do the same?
