I don't know how I could help but I'll try my best.
Maybe I could help with the sound. I make a lot of AMVs, so putting sound with clips is no problem for me.

There we go, now we're talking!
Okay, I'm currently taking an animation class right now so I've got a really good grasp of the process. It's actually 24 frames a second Dom... which is a lot but we don't really need that many different pictures. What we need is one person to draw the initial frame first and any frames that involve a lot of movement. Then, they can scan it and a whole bunch of artists can get together and outline them all on the computer and any minute movements like ear flicks and mouth movements can be done digitally to save paper and time...

Nuru: YES YES!!!
Now we should start establishing the order of events and actually coming up with the form of this movie. Everyone CLEARLY post what idea for scene-flash you might have or whatever and we'll see what we can do. Do I have any volunteers for storyline compliler? This is still the pre-stages of the work so you're basically the creative organizer of the info.
EDIT: River: It's GREAT to have someone who has taken a class and knows probably more than the basics. That means you establish the animation rules/standards for this piece and tell them to the animators (which you probably will be one of)

I can help with the writing also, but I think that everyone would want to plan out the clips of their own characters. So first we would need to secure jobs. We might even need to call in people from outside this RPG to help with everything.
Dom: Let us plan. >3

We just need to find some people who can. ^^ I'm willing to give it a shot even though I've never outlined stuff digitally before...
As for organization and stuff, I'm a very creative person so I could organize it all. That is, unless some of the more unsure members would prefer to do it...

River: Once we get the volunteer animators, which I will gladly be one of and I'm assuming you will be too, you could maybe write us a little animation guide/guidelines business with tips and stuff and the basic idea (like what you said about the initial frame and the movement frames), etc. (I wlso will want to know how you want me to outline the sketches, such as the width of the brush and whether or not it's anti-aliased)

God, this is fast-paced XD I could establish the digital outlining standards if you like - I have some experience in that, though I usually do my outlines manually with Microns. I've used a tablet to outline before and it is MUCH easier than a mouse (though I don't have a tablet where I am at my summer home, bleh, but doing it with a mouse CAN be done).

Limewire is a good program to have. We could use it to download background music and even animation programs and photoshop if we needed to...
So, I'm going to go make an job thread in the announcement board. You guys reply for whatever jobs we need that you think you would be willing to take a wack at. Don't only pick the jobs you think you're good at. If you have photoshop, then you should offer to color some stuff and maybe be a background artist. I said before, this is not being published and it doesn't have to be perfect. Let's all just do it so when we're finished, we can sit back, look at it and say "Wow. I did that..."

Rain, that animation is gorgeous. your style works well with it. You should definately be an animator... *runs off to make a thread*
Dom, I'll be sure to make a nice advisery thread for animating and I'll update it weekly as I learn stuff in class.
Nuru, going back to the planning idea, can I ask you to make a separate thread in this board where everyone posts the flashback/scenes they want their characters to be in? I'm a little tied up at the moment... ^^
