Homestuck Anime?!

[OvercaffeinatedSloth]

I think you'll find when it comes to coming up with too many awesome ideas, we are quite endowed . >W>

I'll be away from my computer for about ten days, but I have a good plan for my storyboarding audition (I had to complete it at the same time as my scholarship portfolio, and I've been working on that for 9 months. ) I should have it completed by the time I get back, all the same. (I did it in 4:3 ratio, but I can change it kg it turns into something else. I did a lot of research and tried to make it a complete short, instead of a scene, because I think it would have more context if things end up cleared up later on.

In exchange, I've sent along a couple of sheets of thumbnails. I have a process set up, and if I get my pace in time, I can eventoss together a sampler animatic with a scratch track just be prepared for goofy wind noises) if the email doesn 't go through, I should have a copy on my Tumblr, http://jstyxprogress.tumblr.com/.

Oh, I was just thinking of that video all yesterday! Glad to see it has some updates, too.

Until then,

Jackie

I'm no good at animation, but I do have a talent for stumbling across things on tumblr. This could be developed into an amazing opening sequence: http://tinyurl.com/6nez8tv

Someone on the anime team should get in touch with the creator: http://guzusuru.tumblr.com/

Damn man, can we like, kidnap that guy?

You know, we -would- get in touch with them...
...If they auditioned.




Also, cool. Thanks Jackie.

[Kuurion]

So when are the auditions for artists and animators gonna close? I thought it was gonna be on Monday, but I can't find any confirmation for that. \

For a SBaHJ commercial, you can just modify the already existent SBaHJ moive. No point in wasting production time on something like SBaHJ.

No confirmation yet, but we're thinking about next Monday, yeah.

Nonsense, SBaHJ requires the most delicate attention to detail. We couldn't just rip it out like we're barbarians, that's preposterous.

There's no reason why you couldn't just message them, and ask if they are interested. They may not be aware that this is going on.

I don't want to personally contact someone. Normally, that makes people feel entitled to things. I'm not saying that it 'will' happen if I contact them, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

But if anyone else wants to talk to them, then go for it. That's how the word is spread, haha.

Curses. Another week of waitiiiing. I'm really excited for this and I want to know like, so bad ig I got accepted.

I'm sure there's others that feel that way too.

But don't worry, we'll try to decide soon!

Well now that i've read up some.
I could make a somewhat decent Jake voice actor.
Although be somewhat nerdy sounding i guess?

That's awesome, but not needed for this project.

Sorry, but all voice positions are filled.

Ah, its just that i saw there was no jake voice actor. Oh well then. Thanks for letting me know!

If you read the OP, you should've also seen that the anime is going from Jade: Enter to John: Rise Up. None of the Act 6 characters are in that section.

[Heroguy]

Hmm. The only thing I can see myself doing that's open is Storyboarding, but I don't really even know much about what that is or how to do it, just that I think I'd be good at it.
Or even where to learn.
Damnit, making things happen is hard!

[Arsenicum]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storyboard Here's the info. It's basically a drawn outline for a comic, advertisement, or film in the form of sequential art.

EDIT: We actually have an example in the original post (OP) of the thread, if you'd like to see that.

[Heroguy]

Hmm...
This seems like something I could do. I'm a pretty bad artist, but it doesn't seem like I need good drawing skills, just the ability to get across what is supposed to happen in the scene.
If you're desper- Errr, willing to deal with a complete novice, I would be happy to help. Otherwise, the only thing I can do is write, and you seem to have that covered.

[Arsenicum]

Well, due to certain circumstances, we now only have one writer...We'd love to have more, but we haven't re-opened auditions yet. If we did, man would we be busy. When this project first started, we -still- got around fifty writing submissions. I shudder at the thought of how many we'd get now, haha.

EDIT: My estimate would be in the hundreds.

[Heroguy]

That's a lot of writing submissions! I doubt I could beat out over fifty writing submissions for the spot, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on it.

In fact, if you like, I could help from the other end. Instead of offering my own submission I could read through all the submissions and tell you which I think are best.

Regarding storyboarding, I'd like to at least give it a shot, if only to see if I'm any good. Do you know of any good spots in the part of Homestuck that you're animating that could use some terrible storyboarding skills? Or should I just do whatever?

We're looking for a storyboard of WV talking to John and telling him to "do the windy thing".

[Heroguy]

Okay! I'll give it my best shot with the resources I have and get back to you. I should be done sometime this afternoon, but I really have no idea as I'm so new to this. :l

[Arsenicum]

Sounds cool. We'll be looking forward to your submission.

I dont really have any talents, however, i would LOVE to donate to this project. is there any means to donate any money to any of the people working on this project? I'm sure I wouldnt be the only one.

We're not accepting any donations, but thank you for your support!

[rabbeseking]

Out of curiosity, I looked into what an average 30 minute episode of an anime costs to make and found this. $ $145,214 dollars! That's quite a lot of money. The fact you guys are doing this on relatively zero budget is admirable. Keep at it guys.
