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

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.

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?

what if we just used affter effects to cut and paste all the anime characters heads on the bodys. Its cheap but it works

Darn.

But yes, it is.

And since you're here, what do you think? Is this project a go or a no?

I honestly believed I could do this to Eva-Man

2 hours later im drinking a RootBerr thinking how stupid I was. If you can do this more power to you, but not too much.
