Story Line: (part 1)

I awoke in a dazed state, eyelids still heavy. Something big and very loud had presumably just hit the floor. It was probably something that fell off a shelf... I thought as I drifted back into a deep sleep. I'm not sure how long I was out for, but again I was woken up by a loud sound. An explosion. This... Isn't normal... I jumped out of bed and raced over to my window. I opened it up and nearly collapsed. My  town in flames, thick columns of smoke billowing into the sky out of shattered windows and doors of houses. I was petrified. How... How could I have slept through this?! It was a question I didn’t have enough time to answer as I turned around and ran to my door. Peeking out of the door and into the hallway I saw that the far end was covered in fire. Brimstone drifted through the air and a warm, soft breeze flew past me as I rushed back inside. No time to lose... I put on my saddle bag and scooped up a few items, hastily shoving them in. Dang! some of my stuff is falling out.. probably didn’t need it anyway... I thought as I shot out of my room and back into the burning hallway, making my way towards the stairs.

 

As I walked outside, my eyes stung and began watering from the smoke. Through my blurry vision, I looked down the roads and into the darkened skies to see if anypony was there, but to my dismay, it was empty. I continued down the road, hoping somepony would see me, looking down each street and alleyway as I walked pass them. To my right a bunch of debris scattered about a path I took regularly.. Some pieces of wood, glass, some trash, burnt bodies, and other things of that nature. To my left I heard crumbling, then cracking, and then a loud crash as a building collapsed. Ah, shit! Better get going...  I thought, picking up the pace. Further down the roads, I heard a cry for help. "Help! I need help! I'm trapped! I'm trap-" His voice was cut off by the roar of fire, and the sound of burning wood. I raced towards the house, thinking I could save him before the fire reached him.


I burst into the house, searching desperately for anypony, looking in each room, and in every nook and cranny. "Where are you?!" I yelled, hoping to get an answer. "Up... Upstairs... Please... I need help..." That voice. It sounded like someone I knew... "Klank? Is that you? Answer me!" I yelled. Klank I couldn't let him die. I couldn't let him die... "Is that you buddy?" Klank said. "Is... Is that you Thun- AGH!" I heard the sound of wood cracking and fire begin to overtake the house. "KLANK!" I knew he was dead, but even with that knowledge, I started up the stairs. I tried to push the thoughts of death from my mind, but the stench of burning flesh was overwhelming. I rushed back out into the smoky road. I need to get out of here! I thought to myself. He's dead! There's nothing you can do to stop that... I continued down the road, squinting my eyes, trying to see through the smoke. My head started to spin. The smoke was getting to me. Almost there, almost there… I’m so close… I started swaying back and forth, losing my balance more than once. Attempting to run forward, I fell, once again, on my face, and slowly blacked out.


As my eyes opened, I realized that I was still in the line of fire! Literally! I was on fire! Well, my bag was. Patting out the fire, I continued down the road. Common'... You can do this... Do it for Klank. Do it for your family. Do it for all those who died. Make it out, tell the story. Let this town live on... I charged through the smoke and haze, fighting back the urge to pass out. Then, I saw it. The gates.I'm so close! I ran with all my might, and shut my eyes. The smoke stopped. The pain stopped. The tears stopped. The world stopped. I made it. I was out. Finally! I made it! There must be somepony out here... That can... Help... My vision blurred, my head spun, and as I collapsed, I realized:

Everything I once knew is dead. This town is gone. The town once known as-

And with that, my world went dark.

 

 

Also here is my NEW OC. i made him look better:

Idea is good, but this is a huge step from nothing to full animation. not even mentioning lipsyncing wich is horrible. I'd go babysteps if I were you. learn for instance flash. get to know the program and start animating little things, then progressivly build up.

I could help with the voice acting, and possibly the drawings. I would have to learn how to draw ponies first because I dont know how to. (I know how to draw everything else, just not ponies!) Also, Im being the grammar/spelling police. You had over 35 spelling and grammar mistakes. Im fining you with a ticket of 45 bits. Pay up. BEEATCH. (No, Im just kidding. I wouldnt fine you 45 bits. Id fine you... OVER 9000- and this is getting weird.)

You have quite the project on you hooves!

If I were you, I would begin animating with adobe flash (cs6) if at all possible. If that is not an option because of price, then you might be able to find a different, older version of flash for a substantially cheaper price.

 

On that note, for an animation project of this type, you will probably need the following people involved, at minimum:

-A veteran animator: someone who has been using flash for over a year, and knows his or her way around the program. Multiple animators probably required.

-A sound guy. It helps if he/she knows at least one of the animators.

-Writer. This person would greatly expand upon the story line you have written up above.

-Editor. Basically another writer. Because this is a slightly smaller job, selection should be left to the writer.

 

This means your team will be four or five people in size, at minimum. I strongly advise finding people who can do multiple things on that list. The better everyone knows each other, the more productive everyone will be overall.

 

I will gladly offer up my help, so long as you are not going to be running this project on a series of crunched deadlines. To give a brief idea of my skill-set, I have created a very lame chart, because I'm feeling lazy and I don't want to make anything in ASCII:

(I have rated my skills on a 1 to 10 level, 1 being "I don't know how to do it" and 10 being "I do it for a living")

 

Animating: probably a 2 out of 10 at the moment. I can only do basic things at the moment.

Sound: I would say around 3 of 10. I have worked with sound before, and i can do so in a mediocre fashion. Nothing special about my Audio editing skills.

Writing: Perhaps a 6 out of 10. I actually spend some of my free time writing, and I would be happy to help here!

Editing: A solid 7 of 10. I edit a lot of things for my friends and classmates. Although I'm certainly not the best at it, I can certainly stand my ground.

 

Good luck on the project!

 

 

EDIT:

 

Oh, and Distortion_ is completely correct. Before you even begin this project, i would spend a few weeks (MINIMUM) learning about animating. http://www.doublerainboom.com/ actually has a decent tutorial section. It would probably be a good place to start after you get flash.

I have some experience in script writing. However, procrastination has stagnated many a projects. You have to be dedicated before you make a venture like this to make sure it doesn't fall into obscurity like so many other projects.

I'm practising lipsyncing in flash. The ideal is to make different facial assets based upon the multiple sounds and shapes your mouth makes when you speak, as well as the expression in the eyes.

Eyebrows do a lot too.

My idea is that his cm is a symbolization of his "inner flame" (determination and perseverence) "burning hotter/brighter" than other ponies (a non literal cm like cheerilee's).

Okay, so we still need some more people to join. Right now we have about... I think somewhere around ten maybe? I haven't been keeping track. 

 

Here is a list of the things you can still sign up for:

 

Writer (story): I'm the only one working on this right now, and I would really enjoy some help.

 

Writer (script): We have two people working on this at the time, Npawesome and Golfmann. But we are sort of falling behind on that because we don't have enough people to keep updating it.

 

Voice actors: We really need voice actors! Without them, the film just won't be the same, because the same people will do multiple voices. We have several people already voice acting, and if you have what it takes, then join!

 

Artists (backgrounds): What is a movie without backgrounds? We don't have anyone working on this because we never asked for it until now. But if you can draw, and you're pretty good at it, then we would really appreciate your help.

 

Artists (characters and or props): Well, if you don't have characters and props in a movie, all you're going to do is sit there and watch the background. thezoombie is working on character designs, but one isn't enough! We need more! So if you have a good imagination, then you should join this! Also, be sure you can draw in the style of the show, or at least a style that isn't... Well... Bad. Bad as in not good looking. Not bad as in bad. Or bad as in cool. Just plain old bad. (As in not good.)

 

Music: It would be boring to watch something without music! Terror is sort of working on the music, but he can't really release it as his own music, because the program is cracked. So if you play an instrument, or instruments, or have a music program, this spot is for you. [NOTE: The kind of music we are looking for should be sad, adventurous, and (if you could) techno-ish. Because I love techno, and it would be good for the credits.]

 

Animation and lip syncing: Well, do you want to watch a still frame movie? No. That's boring. You want one with movement and stuff. So, if you can animate, this would probably be the "job" that you choose. Unless you don't. That is fine. (But we would really like it if you joined.) We have several people that say they know how to animate and want to be apart of this, but they have not been verified yet. 

 

That is all of the things I can think of right now. Other than special effects, but I think the animators will get that sorted out.

 

If you join, that is great, and thank you. If you don't, I won't really care because I don't. (Actually yes I would care. A lot.)

 

Thanks for your time, and have a good day/morning/night.

 

~Slasher

Many artists such as myself use Paint Tool SAI or Photoshop. Though many people who can't spare the money use Paint.net, or etc.

I think what is missing here is more motivation and organization, this is a really big project to be taking right off the bat, a mini story or comic would be a good start, the beginning is a bit abrupt, but is catchy.  Also who are the villains? If you say zombie, lol I don't think they would burn down an entire village unless they were super smart zombies.  

 

I must say part one is quite descriptive and is a good start, what about part 2? does he get picked up by some pony and carried to ponyville or another town? or does he wake up where he passed out?  I'm not really involved  in this at the moment and my skills are not really that useful (I don't think they are) but I am good at making suggestions and would give my writing skills an 8/10.

 

I think if you really want to make a good animation I would take a look at Mr. Rich's story boards and planning ideas that have been so generously provided I have even spoken to him before and I am sure he would provide some insight to ya'll if anyone was to ask nicely: http://www.doublerai...om/gallery.html

 

 

hmm minecraft is quite more easyer if you dont animate and just do it in game. intresting idea.

Interesting theory, as in role play right?

 

I think if I was really motivated I could be of help, at least in helping organize and get things going.  I am quite good at drawing freehand, I like drawing scenery and stationary objects.  I can draw ponies too, which came to a surprise to me, lol  My writing and grammer skills are pretty good, I spell check as I write, it is a good habit to get into when you use a PC.  

 

I am an ok actor, I have made a couple of videos with friends (yes they are on youtube), I can change my voice in strange ways if that means anything.  I don't know anything about editing audio, but could learn and want to learn, I am a hifi finatic for one, so I have a good ear for music and sound effects.

 

Not much but I know fairly well what it takes to make a good animation even though I havn't done any myself.... expect to spend lots of time making just a 30 second scene look good, so it is a good idea to practice making short clips, for sure you are going to need more than 5 productive people to make this happen.

Wow. I say carry on with your organisation you sound like you'll do well. So just going on mongodash we do need alot more orginisation. Such as qoute "villians" so i was thinking maybe we should do somthing smaller like 10 to 15 minuet short episodes on somthing so we can see how well our team works. I have my own animation plan with episodes following after later but i want to see how this is first.

Well I was thinking 3 minute clips or less would be a good start, just to fool around and experiment with different story lines, trust me it takes a while to make a 10 minute episode, just look at some of the youtube series others have made, like My Little Portal or fan made episodes such as Epic Cup Cake Time, or even animations that are with Nova.  

 

They are all short, why?  Well, because to get something that flows good you are dealing with 100's even 1000's of frames, other wise you get noticeable jumps in movements camera pans, etc.  Then, as previously stated you have to sync your audio with the video and lip movements, and to make it even more difficult is getting the "damping" of voices and sound effects to mach the environment, just as tricky as creating the animation at times.

 

Also to keep things organised everyone needs to be easy to to contact to pass ideas and meterial around.

 

I think creating a good story in written form is the best way to start, make sure that it flows well, is good and descriptive and makes sense, and the beginning so far is quite descriptive, well written as is and having an abrupt beginning is a good way to pull a reader in, and in this case it makes you ask "how tha hell is this happening and why?"

 

So far there is one main character, so who will he meet first?  Another question is how many other will tag along with him on this seemingly apparent adventure and how many others will he meet along the way.  Also there will need to be back round characters, and I suppose the villains could even be a grumpy but smart group of dragons at this point (just a random thought).  We could also get real inventive and create non pony characters or races (another thought I had to throw out there).  I think the ideas are endless and when it comes to animation having easter eggs (such as characters from other shows) in the background grab the attention of others and adds good humor, (many good animators do this).

 

Anywhoovs, I can be of more help once I get more organized to work on this sort of thing, for now I can only give ideas and personal opinion from my observations of others, I did do some work with my friends who was in film arts for a while, we never did animation though even though he wanted to make some short silly episodes.

Ok, I have an idea, actually a crap load of ides... but first, I will start with asking if anyone has worked on the introduction part?  If not I would like to improve it, not change it any to what is currently there but add to it and make it more detailed.  I will fix any spelling and grammer, maybe make it flow a bit better.

 

If the story intro has been changed I would like a copy to work on maybe?  That is if anyone is still working on this story at all still, just pm it to me.

 

I have a number of character ideas too who could make an appearance later, I thought maybe Spike could be one of them, except that he is older and possibly helps the main character in some why in the second part, maybe I will make a drawing, to indicate how much older as I don't really know how dragons age in Equestria or how old they live to.

 

Speaking of drawings I can work on that too, maybe make a town layout and a quick action shot of the main character, let me know if you want to see other drawings I have to get an idea of my drawing style, I just can't draw people for the life of me.

 

I am thinking of working on sound effects, "natural" sounds taken from real life, and other sounds that would be suitable for the environment at which the main character is dealing with at the beginning.  I am going to make a specialized mike preamp to do this since the PC ones are crap... yes I can build that sort of stuff. :P

 

So what do ya'll think?  I can only do so much with what I have seen and read so far, but you only get what you effort you put into something like this so I am going to stop talking and just help with what I can.

I would like to do some quick drawings of the 3 main characters so far just for fun, I know there is a picture at the beginning of the thread, I am guessing that is Zark.  What about the other two?  I just want to know the colour schemes.

 

Depending on how long they take to draw I may draw some background characters, maybe draw some scenes.  I'm not the most efficient at drawing and my styling and consistency may be out of theme but I'll give it a shot.

 

Here is my OC just as a quick example...

Nice job chap!  Also, for anyone who is interested we are looking for people who can help build houses and edit terrain in the minecraft town, I am really in need of those who are good at decorating and building the interior of the houses.  So if your not good at building houses them selves and prefer working on interiors make a post saying what you think you can help with and we can arrange a time for you to join us and you can show as what you can do.

 

We are also looking for animators, even though we are far from the animation stage it would be nice to have some people who can follow what we are doing and give advice.

 

We should post some screenshots of the town Max (Terrorblade), it would be good for others to see.

Well, I'll post here as well. I'm willing to help do just about anything apart from animation. I can write, read, edit, proof, and so on. I'm a stickler about grammar and spelling and I can tear apart a story and pull out the fluff until it has guts. I've done a bit of writing and a lot of roleplaying.

 

I've also done a bit of composition in the past with Noteworthy and I've been getting back into it recently, so I don't have anything to really show that describes my current experience in that aspect, but I'd be willing to try it here if you got a good length of animation to put music to.

 

Edit: Oh, and after looking around a bit, I do have a bit of a better mic with a sound guard on it if you'd like me to do some VA stuff. I'll have adequate privacy next semester to do VA without interruption and I'm somewhat capable of setting up a good environment. I tried some VA for a morrowind conversion mod and know how to cut down on some of that nasty reverb when you don't have a recording setup available.

We can always use help with editing, and at this point we need more ideas and brainstorming, actually we have a document for that here if you want to glance at it, it isn't all that well organized: https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing

 

Story so far: https://docs.google....dit?usp=sharing

 

You will need exceptance by the owner in order to view or edit either document... anonymous ponies will be terminated.

 

Currently Spirit is the writer, Terrorblade is just sort of... there but keeps an eye on everyone and has been a big help with constructing the town for the story on his minecraft server with me, Reverie has mainly been doing editing and does a good job. AS for me... I just sort of keep things rolling and have been slowly revising the story as well as I can.

 

We are all very busy in our lives so it seems like this is getting no wheres but we havn't given up hope yet.

I was in the process of combining different versions into one that would eventually become the final version if everyone likes it... I was trying to work on it a couple days a week... then IRL shit happened and now I have to find a new job, lol

 

You are right Reverie, I have wanted for us all to do a hangert or skype and just go through and work on it together, I really enjoy writing and editing but it just hasn't been on the top of my list lately.  We will find a good day and work on it together.

That would be great!  Look for a good mike and just experiment with your voice, try and get the cleanest sound possible at a good volume.  I have been experimenting with sound effects, I smashed a beer bottle in my basement, it sounds kinda cool myself and a bit of voice acting, and so far I have learned that out of the two mikes I have used, they both sound very different, and personally I think audio recording is more difficult than animating, there are just so many variables.

I could try voice acting, but I wouldn't be able to really sit down and do it until after I get back from Christmas break and can do it without interruptions. That is, if you need any more voice actors.

 

Edit: Oh, and I have begun my surgery on chapters 1, 2, and 3.

Looking good, I was wondering earlier how the thing was coming along, I hadn't checked in for a while, been a bit busy.

Funny you say that...

 

I really like how that screenshot turned out Max, it even shows the a couple of the 12 plots left we need to build houses on if anyone wants to join at some point and claim one(listen to me I sound like a brohoof project manager).

 

I never finished looking over the changes to the story nor have I done any more work to improving the next couple of chapters, my mind is a freaking boiled pony mushroom stew filled with flocks of smeagulls due to the fact that I am trying to help a friend get a buisness up and running called "DRAM Amplifiers", what a name lol.

 

I must have a good 8-10 different custom guitar amp/effects projects that I need to finish up so I can make money to support myself as well as put towards purchasing parts for the piles of broken equipment that I want to fix and sell, people keep giving me all this broken crap that has good value after being restored... alas I"m lazy, so I end up playing minecraft, joining hangert or crawling down to the bar with a couple of friends and play pool all night and party like Pinkie Pie. :P

 

Anyhows... I'm pointlessly ranting... again, but I was thinking Max, maybe if you are up for it tomorrow we should try and finish the last few houses(just the exteriors) then figure out how to edit the turrain better... or hire a pro turrain editor from brohoof... yeah that's right lol, if no one offers we will have no choice but to kidnap Ratty O3O

So true, that, +3 turret. I usually wind up writing some huge overview, then change it as I progressively get farther and farther.

Moar screenshots just for the heck of it, and I decided to try Lemons & Tolerance this time... it looks pretty good... I hope I can find some time soon to get back to writing, editing and drawing, certainly it would be more motivating if everyone just lived down the street rather than across the border and over the sea...

Ok I'm going to try to make regular updates to the story because I heard a sad but very true thing a few days back.

"You can take your time looking for inspiration but if you wait to long you'll end up doing nothing."

I have a method that may speed things up.

 

tumblr_mq89z6pNKE1rke8ufo1_500.jpg

I'm going to follow the image above, Create all the dots starting with a few points and skip the squiggles. than when the main plot is done just expand the dots and make a dot to dot game. Just so I or another person knows what's about to happen so they can lead up to it in the squigglyiestest way possible. ^.^ 

 

The three steps to life was a thing I made a very long time ago and I had a sudden clarity of how it worked. "Sketch, Expand, Enhance" I write a few years back (might have been in my 4th year of school) . But Its the same thing (almost)

It's funny you mention that Spirit, The fact of the matter is I actually have enough inspiration to finish the story... my only problem is time and the constant changing of day to day plans.  For example the other day I had multiple "Hazzah!" moments for the story and started rewriting some things and was about to do up some short notes that could be used to start the next chapters, and I even had the day free just to futz around.  But then people started calling me (job related stuffs, friends etc.), and I had to go out and since then I havn't had 5 minutes to even think about sitting down to work on the story.  In the end I managed to make about 10 minutes of progress... which = pretty much NOTHING.  :derpytongue:

 

The moral of this story is that I may end up giving it up, this is why I have the document set up for who ever wants to work on it so this way it is "shared" and even though I havn't resolved much of what has been modified I have read through most of it.

 

I think the idea you have in mind will work very well Spirit, the thing to remember is that once the full story is written, it isn't final until we say it is, meaning that we can always make changes or add silly things in between what has been written.  Sadly at this rate we might finish the story and start animating 5 years from now, life for me just keeps getting more complicated and stressful, you guys and the people who I know on this forum are some of the few friends I have that I actually appreciate working with and talking to.

 

Keep it up Spirit!  And if all goes well I want to work on the town with Max this tuesday.  :twilightsmile:
