Sorta sounds like you just want other people to work for you.
Amateurs like to make things for themselves so they would not have time for you....i suggest you get crackin' on a big bag of money.

hahahahahahah! If I had years to make a movie by myself then I would. But I thought it would be cool to have other animators get the chance to help make something because the fact is it would be a time savor. I would be animating in this too of course. I would also like to direct, but first i want to see if anyone is interested before I put the time in to plan everything out
PS: Hopefully you were joking. I do animate hahahahahhahaha
That sounds awesome and really well thought out. I think it's your idea, that your have the write to direct, I'd have no problems taking orders from you. I hope I can start making a name for myself so I can have a chance at participating in this.
wow thanks man. Well hopefully people dont mind listening to me :). It would be cool if i could orchestrate it. I wouldn't mind making it happen
That's a great idea, but fifty artists have already collaborated on one thing before. Think bigger. I wouldn't mind voice acting. I'm not the best, but I can quite a lot of voices. Also, what's with the picture of Paprika?
I put the picture because I love that movie. But about the fifty artist, I think its enough. You really don't need more than that. Its a project that will be a year in the making, so I mean, animators have plenty of time to contribute. More would be fine, but yeah, fifty is a good amount to start with.
Maybe you could do a film in chapters that would be released on newgrounds every once and a while. Not exactly a series, but chapters of a full storyline. And then you could allow slight differences in artistic style. While it still has to be top notch, it could differ for each chapter. Just an idea.
Good luck, it'd be sweet if you could manage something like this.
well depending on the story, things may work out to be this way, but the problem with releasing it in chapters would be co authoring. So many people would be a part of it, that it wouldn't be fair because co authoring people would mean that I would have to exclude others. The idea of this is to make an animated movie. A real one where the characters maintain their styles. If the story makes it needed to have people change styles during production, then we could do it that way. But because so many artist would be a part of it, it wouldn't make since to have it change constantly. But I like the idea
it's a good idea...
a really good idea...
hmm
have you put anything on the flash forum or anything, to see what responses you would get?
Well, I'm not trying to make it happen right now. I want to make a bullet proof plan and write out every detail before I start trying to make this happen. But I think the responses would be the same here. No one works for free... this will be hard... I'm in...etc
Eh. I was never a fan of Iron Giant, since the 3D wasn't meshed very well (even if it was "frontline"), but I agree with Akira and Paprika. If you liked those, I'd say check out Interstella 5555 : The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem.
It's an hour long music video for Daft Punk's cd, Discovery. But it's all anime and it's amazing.
thanks man, ill defintely check it out. Now i will watch this and Mind Game
Incredibly interesting and tempting idea....wonder if Tom would take any interest in this.
you never know. Maybe I'll see a post from him tomorrow in the morning
Me and happy harry have been trying to get something together. it's harder than you think, because people on NG work for free and they don't like making a small part of a big thing. which is completely understandable. But i'm working on a script as we speak.
Actually I was just talking to tomamoto and he mentioned you were doing something like this. Iknow it will be tough, trust me. I have been trying to come up with a solid way of doing this for a bout a month and still nothing comes to mind. Contact me on aim or pm me so I can hear what you guys are coming up with. Partnering up with you and happy will probably help this happen. The more the better
Nice idea, maybe a little bit difficult, but nice anyways...
I would join, but I dont know nothing about animation
Good luck with your project
thanks man
I want to make a movie one day too, but I dont have the skill and preparation needed for such a project at this time.
the trouble is, what movie? thats why we havent done it yet, i have tons of ideas for movies, everyone does, the trick is finding one that everyone wants to work on....
if you say... wanted to remake the babaar movie, hey thats great im sure there are fans, but not enough, and not every talented person on newgrounds would want to work on it.. if you say... just wanted everyone to submit 2-4 minutes of whatever then thats what we're already doing...
for instance, i could tell you right now, i have a fantastic idea for a new series, called the chronicles of Boxman, involving time/space travel, sword fighting with god, and robot-pirate-aliens i would love nothing better then to have a little support, maybe a background artist or VOICE ACTORS!
but thats dream may not come to fruition, im going to have to do the whole thing myself... im buying a 1k tablet just to do just that...
so... its a good idea... but maybe a tad ambuishious
hahah no one reads these post man lol. I already explain the need of a script and a concrete story. what you just wrote was a repeat of ideas i just expressed
PS: Good luck on making your film with that 1k tablet without any help from anyone
SUPER PS: I don't think anyone would take the time out to make a animated fan film. That's just a retarded example. There would be no point in making one. You would run into legal problems and spending a year on an animated fan flick would just be a time waster. What the fuck is babaar anyways? Hey, lets make a Sonic film pvt :D. Or how about Awesome the Movie :D
Sounds pretty sweet, I wouldn't mind lending a hand for you over something as big as this (:
Hope this can become real in any way.
Who's that in your picture? You? You appear as a female.
Frightening.
hahah really. Well I am a male. Maybe its because I have my hood on. I should just get a pic without one
You've got people pretty exited here methinks. It's a great idea, but one that would require incredibly careful planning and direction to see through. One way around the whole "drawing style thing" is to go really industry with the process.
Character model sheets and mood boards.
I'd prefer strict storyboards to a script, only allow people who can draw the story to be a part of it's creation. In my opinion writers often don't think visually which leads to sloppy dramatisation.
Two or three levels of animator; the lead animator, and two levels of inbetweener.
I've only run three collaborative projects on this site and I've got to say it's hard work but very rewarding when you see everyone's work come together into one film. One issue that always comes up is people not making or completing their parts, which in the Morphing Orgasm led to a hell of a lot of extra work for me to do.
dang, you summed it up perfectly. Thanks man. Well, i dont know what will happen with this. Only time will tell. It would be cool if this happened, but who knows
I love your idea and spirit to even think of attempting such a feat. Im all for it, and to be honest the art of 2d animating is pretty much on its way out, but some of the best movies ive ever seen were 2d, i loved Lilo and Stitch, The Iron Giant, The Secret Of NIMH, and Titan A.E. I would so support you in this work any way that i can, ive always wanted to do voice acting, and ive been in small films myself (granted they were school projects, but one was considered to be aired by PBS, but one of the kids didnt want to be shown on TV the wuss) any who, anything that i could do to help in such an event would be an honor.
Yeah man, I've got the whole thing done tomorrow.
I will gladly help if I learn how to use CS4, that is. I don't want to be the only participant with a horrible frame by frame animation with no sound. Hahaha.

See there's the issue....the whole point of being an amateur animator is being able to make an animation from conception. Sounds like you want all the fun while everyone else acts as your "time savor".
: PS: Hopefully you were joking. I do animate hahahahahhahaha
I never said you didnt....still i want joking.
: hahahahahahah! If I had years to make a movie by myself then I would.
Unless you have a terminal illness you DO have years to make a movie. Remember that.
this still makes no sense. I would be doing most of all the animation. I would be putting more time than anyone else even if this were to happen. (Again, this is just a what if. If anything, this would just be a cool collaboration.
I don't have time in my life to set aside everything to make a full length movie. Again, it would take me years and I wouldn't be able to continue school or my job if this were to happen. I know what an amateur is, im not trying to do everything by my self for something like this. It isn't practical with me being a student at all. This wouldn't just be my project, this is everyones. I would just be helping put the pieces together
Why do u keep bringing up amateur? I never once said thats what im trying to be
I disagree with Shirt I enjoy animating other characters as long as their construction is simple, if this ever happened I'd love to do some of the character animation.

That would be awesome. I would take no part in it because I do nothing at the moment, but tons of people would. What about music? I don't do anything musical, but others might, and be okay with it being in the film.
KartuneHustla
Yeah, I talked about it a little in my post, but yeah, music would definitely be need. LIke I said, everyones talents would go into this. There is alot of things that would have to be done to make this work
