Mahdi Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inoculator9 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollyon Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyborg Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Hmmm... all voice actors and no animators. We could always make it a radio show instead. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 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. ;)O0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad dib Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 I have about 5 rough adaptions done now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 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...

Wolf Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemafakei Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 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.

Vanguard3000 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
