Space Series Idea
« on: May 31, 2008, 01:08:09 pm »

Hello fellow anim8ors! It's me spicy, over the last few months I have been thinking about a anim8or project that I wanted to create and have others involved in it to. Its a space series (As you might of guessed) 15 minute long for each episode, now you might think why am i bothering to do a project that will take ages to do (Thats the fun part!), it will take a long time to do and I understand that you may think whats the point in helping becuase you are unsure weather the creator will not just back out of the project, I promise you I will not (You have my word). I tried to start another project (Ages ago) called the Half Life Funny Movie, I did stop that project because of people's lack of intrest, copy right and bieng a bit of a newb (Asking people to do that and this). Well I must start off a fresh start, anyone that is intrested in this project let me know right away and I shall send you a PDF file containing all the info you shall need the plot, art, effects, roles and side stories. The reason I am not putting the PDF file on this topic is becuase I don't want to spoil the story for fellow anim8ors. many other people that you may know on the this forum have agreed to help me (Thankyou). I myself are going to model, get the art from my lead artist etc... This shall be a great experience for me and you. If you would like to help just PM me or just say on the topic. I hope to look forward to working with some fellow anim8ors

i agree that it would a fun project, and i think it has potential (maybe).
but i think that the "Anim8or the Movie" should be done before starting any other big projects. maybe anim8or studios (isnt it called that? to lazy to check) can take it up as there next project ...
but until then i guess you will just have to make the story :P

spicy- I'm interested, but I have to warn you and everyone that wants to join this: the first episode will take the llllloooonnnnggggggeeeessssssttttttt because that's the one where all the characters will be made, all following episodes will use those characters (so after the first episode, the animators/voiceactors will be doing everything), so if anyone else wants to join, know what your getting yourself into!
...sorry about that but I think that's the NO.1 killer for projects!
craksy- We're going to take awhile (a few years) before we finish the movie and I doubt spicy can wait that long.

I'm curious, don't know if I want to commit to anything (actually, for the next month or so I won't be able to do anything, for my own projects or others). Could you give us at least a blurb about it, even if not a full script?

Well thanks for the post
Tanzim: I understand what your saying and i agree the first episode will be the longest, glad your intrested
craksy: I have already made the story
Dosser: Yes sure. I will tell you abit more
devilGames: Great! I shall send you the PDF as soon as I can, I got exams for the next 2 weeks so I shall try to send you them ASAP
Right here's a little cut on the story, its about a war on a galatic scale set in motion by drifts in the timeline and other "stuff" (Can't say), its set on the Universal Republic Starship Prometheus, a ship set out to explore the outer rim but it soons discovers it has a new purpose...
Hope you like the little cut

well i'm already in as modeller, but i must warn you: that is parttime modeller. i can't commit complete months or weeks to it.

i guess i will be doing some of the ships involved. i could use some concept drawing, cause next weeks i can spare a little more time then usual.

edit: are the logos for the races done yet?

Question: Have you got an idea on what the ships and characters are gonna look like? Because, i can do some concepts, and even some test modeling today if you don't. I think i'll do that any way. Also, I think we do need a name, just so we can have a professional looking Opening Scene, and to Unite us.

First off, what's the series going to be called?

The anim8or movie project has there own studios "Anim8or Studios". What are we gonna call ourselves, we should vote or decide.
Secondly, as for the studio name, technically Anim8or Studios' current project is a movie called "The Anim8or Movie", that doesn't mean they can't have another project being a space series. I personally believe if this was to be done under the Anim8or Studios name, it would be good for the program (Anim8or), the studio (Anim8or Studios) and us as we would look more professional and so would have more viewers. (Of we should think of another name to work under should they reject the 'offer', for them to accept, we'd have to show them the first episode before it's publicly released, and ask weather they agree or not [this has to benefit both parties])

Well there have been more posts (YAY!)
Tanzim: I understand where you are coming from, butI would prefer to make my/our own studios, plus I have no idea what the series should be called, if you or anyone else has any suggestions let me know
devilGames: My artist should (I hope, pray to god!) have the art soon, butI suppose you could also make some concept art to
startrekfan001: Great to have you, but if by logo's you mean pictures/conceptart it should be done later (As my artist is concentrating on the ships and weapons at the moment)

To all of you there is some more info I need to tell you, the models for the characters will be made using MakeHuman (What a tr8or I am!), this will make results more faster and efficent though the character models will be edited in anim8or. The last thing, when we are rendering the actaul animation for the space series I will need someone to kindly volentere to use there computer as mine is rubbish, though by Christmas I am getting a new laptop then I will be able to render the animations all by myself. I hope this does not put you off
