Dune: The Animated Series

[Mahdi]

I want to do something new. I want to do soemthign that, if even only partially done, we can all be proud of. I want to animate Dune.

I want to make a series of animated shorts based on all our favourite/important scenes from the books. Beggining, of course, with the originals.

I'll write the screenplays and voice Paul. I'll co-direct with the animator of each episode (as only they know the limits of there abilities, and I will oversee the whole project.

What I need are animators and voice artists. Lots of animators:)

I don't need final fantasy level animtion (while it would be nice;)) anyone with decent CGI abilities would be welcome.

I also want to know what scenes you all would like to see adapted. I already plan on doing a few, but would like more suggestions. Let's try and keep them fairly short.

What I would like to do is have the major characters designed first, while I work on the adaptions. That way when we get several adaptions done we will have designs for the characters done as well, and we can hopefully animate multiple episodes at once, with all the characters being recognizable from one episode to the next. Ornithopters and such will not be appearing in every episode, so we can design them as we go along.

So, if you want to be a part of this, and I hope you do, let me know.

I'd really like to do this, and not have it disapear as another unfinished project.

Well I would like to see the Battle of Arrakeen and The Atredies Vs Harkonnen battle, and I could do some voice acting I guess.

I would love to help! I could set up something to record me ol' voice, with a little trouble, but do able :) If you don't want to guess, I have an EXTREMELY deep voice, one that I can make rumble on cue :)

I suppose I could also help with the animation a bit, I have some really nice programs I could use to touch up the end results, maybe heighten the quality a smidgen :)

[Apollyon]

I can prolly do some sound editing seeing as I've got large amounts of hugely expensive equipment knocking around (my dad's a sound engineer).

[GhostHunter]

I'm here for voices..

[Mahdi]

We really need animators though. Without them, nothing else much matters. If you knwo anyone who might be interested, show them this thread.

[Mahdi]

We also need some female voices:)

[Cyborg]

This is actually something I've thought of doing before...

Count me in as an animator. If you want a 3d film, that is.

Is there something that can be done tonight? I have spare time right now... :P

[Vanguard3000]

Hmmm... all voice actors and no animators. We could always make it a radio show instead. ;)

[Mahdi]

you'd think with all the computer programming gneius's here more than one would volunter;)

[Cyborg]

that's the problem ;)

Most programmers aren't modelers/animators :P

[Inoculator9]

Yep :(

[FireSnake]

That's a pretty cool idea.

Good luck.

Let's not get offtopic with comments about others.

Well I can't animate or draw much, or program or anything. maybe voice, but everyone seems to be able to do that. Maybe I can find a cat to play a part for a laza tiger. ;)

I can draw and make pictures but only free hand. And I cant use my computer for nothing. :'( So really I can only give luck. Good luck ;)

[Mahdi]

I have about 5 rough adaptions done now.

[nemafakei]

I'll do some interior decorating (textures), provided we don't start immediately. I'd love to get involved (suggestions on touching up, perhaps) of the scripts and so on, if you're intending to alter them slightly. And if you need a Thufir...

I can do voice acting. I studied public speaking for a while, and though I have yet to have any real work experience, I'm often told that I should search for a job in the radio industry. If you need anyone with a deep voice, I'd be up for the job. In fact, I'd really enjoy it, and hope that you'll have need of me. Leto, the Baron, Gurney (maybe with the accent), and the Emperor are all possibilites.

Our friend the Effects Guy (Mahdu knows who), the one who worked on the mini has said he might help, depending on how you're going about it, but he's busy until about November.

[Mahdi]

Yeah, he's got The Helix and some other stuff.

[Dunenewt]

Ryan Carter? :O ;D

Put me down on the Voice Acting list i guess.

[Vanguard3000]

By the way, i can probably do some voice acting (just not for the deep-voiced characters, I guess. ;)). I'd love to be Piter in particular, or Dr. Yueh.

[ken124578]

that's the problem ;)

Most programmers aren't modelers/animators :P

Even worse, most programmers are very bad in making graphics/animations. ;)
