Animated Promo Database
Alright, here is your roadmap to all the things related to our big project. This will be updated frequently, so be sure to keep checking!
Last Update: 2.15.07
THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN SET FOR CHARACTER SHEETS AND STORYBOARDS: HAVE THEM IN BY 3.1.07 OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE.
River & Jiggsaw, feel free to add anything to this at any time
A big note: I’ve been really soft about deadlines, but River and I are REALLY gonna start enforcing them soon. Get your stuff in!!! <=I told you they were a-comin'!
If you have not gotten your storyboards/model sheets done and you plan to involve your character, go HERE and POST YOUR PLANS.
Here is the law:
1.) If you want your character to appear in our animated promo, you MUST draw/have someone draw a Storyboard of what you would like to happen. You may make as many storyboards as you like of as many characters as you like. The supervisors will make SURE that at LEAST one of your scenes appears in the full promo.
1a.) If you want your character to appear in our animated promo, you MUST make a Character Model Sheet
2.) Jobs are open to everyone and anyone, but we would like you to play your part once you sign up for a job.
3.) We are using a team of sketch animators to animate the scenes. Scenes will be assigned to each sketch animator, and they will also be assigned to animate their own characters.
3a.) If you are aspiring to be a sketch animator, we certainly appreciate/recommend showing us some Pencil Tests.
4.) We have decided that there will be no dialogue scenes for this promo (perhaps in a next one or in the future) because it is VERY much of a hassle and we don’t have the equipment we need to do it properly. However, our promo WILL be narrated. We will write the words for this narration towards the end of the development.
5.) The BASIC plot has already been conceived, though it is still subject to changes if you would like to have a say in it. This is what you will base your storyboards on.
JOBS[/u]
Those of you involved will be emailed about your role.
If you are interested in joining, post here to sign up. This is taken from the ACTIVE members shown in THIS thread, but it is quite outdated and many changes have taken place as far as jobs go. If you are one of these names already signed up and I thought you were inactive, tell me here and I will automatically re-place you in your rightful spot!

Also, it sounds a bit strange, but something I could do is help with animation by filming my dog and posting the frames as reference, like Muybridge's stuff. She's a lab mix, so she's your basic dog build/size. Plus, she play-fights with the neighbor's dog, who is about the same size/build. So we could rotoscope that for fight scenes if needed. Just tossing it out there, random as it is.
