Animishi Trailer

[Iyouboushi]

A long time ago I created a short 30 second or so Animishi trailer. Sure it was super cheesy but it was neat because it was the first Animishi animation. It was then followed by an even cheesier beginning of an episode (lol Andy will definantly remember these). And recently I've been planning a way to do a full opening or trailer in Flash.

I've already got a temporary Animishi theme picked out (until Tyae can make the real one, which will be awhile) and I've written/sketched down some ideas on how I want to do the opening (or trailer, whichever). There's a problem though. But before I go into the problem, here's a quick preview of how it'll look/sound:

Animishi Logo (Now with Japanese text)
Andy's Character Scene (The middle black box will have sketches of Andy scrolling past as the music plays)
Listen to the (temporary) Animishi opening


Here's the problem. I can't finish because I don't have all the necessary images to do it.

ANDY, I need your help with this one. Since you colored your picture I need the rest of us colored in the same way. Not to mention I NEED ME in order to even do this. I mean, I can't use Scott's because it's not colored and if I color it in flash, the difference will be too noticeable. They all have to be done in the same way. Else it just won't look right.

If you would, scan the images in B&W and THEN color them and re-scan and send all of them. That way I can use the B&W images for some parts and the colored images for others. The more the merrier. If you've already colored them (like you did with yours) that's okay, just send it. But in the future, if you would, do both.


Anyway, the good thing is, if I ever get all the images necessary, I'll finish it up the best I can until I learn how to do true animation..

Well... there is a small problem with coloring. Since I already colored me, and just about no one else, I have since moved on to magic marker only instead of my old style of Pencil/marker, so the James I already drew out and colored in my new Marker only style will most likely look different. However, I can still color everyone in the marker style so It won't look too bad.

Maybe I can get the Group pic and you can use that, since it has us all in marker form.

Also, I got some new pics I need to get to you, the new Ekoc, the James design (which is already scanned just need Darkan to send it to me.) and the Group pic. Some others that remain unfinished but I'll work on em.

So thats where Im at. Aside from all that stuff, just lemme know what you want and I'll draw it up. ;D

Can you get on IRC? We need to talk about this if it's going to become a reality. I'm drawing up some storyboard style things for me to know what I need/want/how I want it to make it look.

As for the colorings... well.. if it turns out to be too different, you may have to re-do it. But we'll see once I test it out. There might be a way to make it look the same in Flash so that you don't have to.


As for what I need, here's what I KNOW I need thus far:
- A color pic of Scott (in the same likeness as yours)
- Two colored pics of Ekoc.. one with his arms outstreched like he's grabbing a globe (don't draw the globe though ) and one with his arm up, where the "Jewels of Amar" go.
- A few colored Jewels (can be various shapes, colors, that part doesn't matter). Just make sure there's a few and there's enough space inbetween them that I can crop them so I can rotate/twist/turn/move them. I'll probably use this in conjunction with the Ekoc pic (with his arm out/up)

I'll let you know what else I need when I figure out what I need.

Im currently at school waiting for mom to finish her math test, so I cant get on Irc right now (no IRC here sadly)
However, we can post back and forth somewhere and hopefully talk.)

as far as the other stuff. Sure I can do that. No problemo! As far as color difference, Its not terribly different, I just think that the version of you I did was A bit more markery than my marker/pencil version, the only real reason yours is different is cause I had no colored pencils at work where I drew it up.

Ahh okay. I'm gonna make a topic in the admin section so we don't give away all of the ideas to the general public. We can pass things back and forth there.

By the way, what'd you think of the two images/music?

[Dead]

They were neat. I'd talk now but I gotta go cause mom is here and weve got another class to run away to.
So I'll get on Mirc when I get home around 6 or so.
(probably have to kick Jared off the comp.)

Anyhow we can talk then

I think I should unsticky this. The trailer idea is basically dead right now. I don't know enough FLASH to do what I have planned in my mind. I can't even get it to fade the text in like I want, and that's supposedly very easy to do. Curse my limited ability with flash.


If I ever learn how to do what I want with Flash, I'll sticky this topic again.



-Edit-
I learned the "fade in/out" effect. Not too hard, actually. But it still stands that I don't know enough to do the rest of the trailer...so it'll have to wait.
