World's Longest Anime Trailer/First AMV Movie-type thing

Postby SQ » Sun Feb 23, 2003 2:32 pm

Alright, here's how it all started.

SQ in the 'World's Longest Thread' wrote:Well, I just got done watching "Animatrix Reloaded" (or something to that effect) by WuWu, and it left me going.. "Wow, when does that come out! I want to see Belldandy in action!"

Low and behold it took me about 5 minutes to realize that the Matrix is not going to have anime characters in it...

... UNLESS we all got together with the whole entirity of the Matrix, Script and all, and made a project out of animating the ENTIRE MOVIE. Of course, there'd HOPEFULLY be different editors, but continuos storyline and character usage would be needed.


Do you think this project would go anywhere?? ANYONE??

(Or has it already been done/in the process)



So, it all started because of that AMV. And the sudden urge to have Anime characters in the Matrix Movie. Consistancy is a MUST and good editing skills is a GODSEND. Of course, that would disqualify me, since I'm not up to par yet, but since I came up with the idea, if this project actually goes through and doesn't topple to the ground and into a trash can, I'm going to do the credits(and/or the introduction[phone call])

SQ in the 'World's Longest Thread' wrote:We just take the audio from the Matrix DVD, and sync to it. It'd be a hell of a job though, and would take a hell of a long time, too. But you never know, it could be the next DDR Project!(By that I mean.. In popularity)


Of course, we ALL realize that hosting would be a HUGE problem if we actually went through with the project. But the question right now is, SHOULD we go through with the project?



Fatty_VM in the 'World's Longest Thread' wrote:dont ask me .. and i think for hosting .. just put the Sonavabitch on kazaa ..a nd we all just stay logged in .. so it takes a little bandwith from all of us to keep the project up.


So, I just came to this forum, to ask you, the majority of the people, what you think about this idea. Should we attempt it? Should we leave it in the dust?

Like i said in the "Worlds longest thread"..

I really like this idea...if pulled off properly...hell even if it wasn't i could appreciate the effort..

I would like to have some involvement....but i will not (it wouldn't be practical and i suck at editing etc anyway).

Anyway...casting?

Well, I was thinking about having some of the same casting as WuWu had done in his AMV. Such as Kamui as Neo, and the main character from Big O to be Morpheous.. Or some stuff like that.

But, I plan on letting people do this as if they were doing a real movie. Such as, one person decides casting, another decides what scenes go where, and stuff like that. I'm not willing to lay the whole thing out and get my hopes up until this gets more replies.

Excuse me, more positive replies.

Kowru from Eva was morpheus in that trailer i believe...

Anyway...i like this idea...

On a note..do you realise how hard it will be to make this "anime film"?

Yes, yes I do.

By some miracle, the fastest it could probably be done is one 356 and a fourth days year. Or school year... But that's only if EVERYONE who was recruited ONLY worked on The Matrix, and NOTHING else. And ocnsidering that I HIGHLY doubt they'll have that kind of devotion, it will probably take 2-3 years to complete. And since that's such a long period of time, not many people will want to be in this project. Either that, or a lot of people want to be in, say they'll be in, and like most things, drop out right when we say we're going to start. OR we'll have some people join, and then half way through they'll quit either because it's too hard on them, they want to work on something else, or some other random rason that might seem logical at the time.

So yes, I do know what a hard bastard the project will be to do.

Just in case you didn't know the makers of the matrix have teamed together with japanese animators to create the real 'The Animatrix'. So far they have the first episode out of four up for download and it's completely free! It's in Quicktime format and Windows media so unless you have quicktime Pro you won't be able to save it... You might find it in the temp folder but I didn't try. You can get it in English or Japanese (no subs :( ) More information on it is at the Warner Brothers website.

Yeaah, i saw that a while back but the first episode (although a great intro to the reasons behind the matrix) was not very good.

How would you do something like the infamous "lobby scene"? Bullets flying everywhere, people running up walls, plaster flying all over the place, and multiple firing angles with multiple and different types of weapons?

This'd be a cool idea to see, but doing it, as well as distributing it (DVD only, I'd think) would be astronomically hard.

But who knows?
I'm out...

I hate double posting but I just realized there will be nine animated shorts and Square Pictures (Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within) will have a hand it as well for some of the shorts. It's comming out on DVD and video but for now they have an ep up for watching. Check out the trailer. :)

On another note the idea seems like it would be fun but as you mentioned it would take a long time and a lot of effort. I have many other ideas that I would like to do for now and I won't be able to take part. I hope this suceeds.

Well i have some ideas....dunno if they can be implemented...but..


I thought that the Bebop might be an appropriate backdrop to use in place of the Nebucanezzar(sp) (the ship in the matrix)...problem is you'd either have to use the bebop crew in the movie or somehow edit them out..

Also i thought that Alita would make a good Trinity..

Some effects in trigun may also be useful..although i'm not sure how they could be used...


more shit later maybe..

I was wondering what the Animatrix was about. I tried downloading the trailer for it via Windows Media and even Quicktime but for some odd reason they never worked. However, I doubt that they used the exact same script as the Matrix. So, I still say it's a good idea.

On another note, we'd need to staff people. I've thought of more slots that can be handled. If this project actually goes underway, we'd need:

Producers(basically the people who say the deadlines, and usual producer things)

Assisant Producer(in case the main one lets something accidentally slip)

Editors(for obvious reason)

Frame by frame Editors(for all those 'special' things)

Hand animators. (There is no possible way we could keep consistancy without hand editing frames.)

Publishers(I use this term for the people who will take all the chapters people make and connect them together via software)

Screenwriters(For the casting, and things of that effect)

Story board artists (This will probably help us a lot. These are the people who'll decide what scenes to use, or give suggestions as to what scenes to use in the anime for the movies)

Choreographers(sp.) (These perople would look over everything and do the last touches that most people do to AMVs right before they hit the org.)

And most likely a lot of other people.
Now, I'd have to review the Matrix movie, and see how many chapters it's divided into. We might need to split the movie up scene by scene, or have several editors do one scene at a time, instead of giving several people several different scenes.

Now that all this has been layed out, you can see this would have to gain a lot of people's attention for it to be done. I guess we might be able to pull of something with limited numbers, but it would take so much more effort.

In closing I'd like to say, that with this information, I have just turned down a lot of people who were at first interested, since I've just begun to show how much work force, effort, and sweat we'll need to drive this project to work.

Are you all still interested?

I guess, that if you are, you can start applying for these 'jobs'. It will be a first come first served basis, unless someone who is better qualified comes along.(Such as, if someone who's never hand animated frame but knows how to wants to be a hand animator, and someone later comes a long who has much more expirence, something will have to be done...)

Most likely, if someone has more expierence or is better qualified then you, who had already got that 'job', you won't be kicked out, you'll just have a new partner.
