ral365 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) I can help with the writing! :)Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ral365Sector: WritingDid you work in something like this before?: Yes and No. I'm minoring in creative writing in college (and I'm currently a senior), but I've never written for a song before.(BTW, are you paying anybody to make this video? I can get it done much faster if this is a commission.) Edited May 22, 2013 by ral365 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Matt Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 (BTW, are you paying anybody to make this video? I can get it done much faster if this is a commission.)No I'm actually not, mostly because I have no means of doing so and also because I'm not getting anything with it, it's just fans working with each other to do something nice.Added you to the writers list.

GreenWyvern Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 ANIMATION YOU SAY?Well, I can be a last-hope option! Do I need to audition, though, just for quality control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral365 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 If anything, you should at least pay the animators for the video. I'm an animation major in college myself, and they do a LOT of heavy-lifting. I just happen to be personally more fond of creative writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Matt Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 You could do it via PayPal, but I understand.What I actually meant about "means" was that I don't have the money.If anything, you should at least pay the animators for the video. I'm an animation major in college myself, and they do a LOT of heavy-lifting.I know it's no easy work, but as I said above, I'm unable to pay because of the lack of money.Do I need to audition, though, just for quality control?Just if you feel like giving that satisfaction.

It's not like you're getting paid, so I won't force the best out of anyone.Woah, who said anything about money? I'm saying is, this is what I'm able to do with a whole 20 minutes of work. Now, keep in mind, the actual animation looks better, it's just, Flash exports such crappy GIFs. If I were to spend and hour exporting into an uncompressed .avi, then it would look MUCH, MUCH Better [and it would be a large, large file]!

GreenWyvern Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So, for me to animate a chorus, I need to know:- What characters die and how- When each set of characters die. Although... there are 21 deaths... huh. Let me just count the playable characters [minus Waxwell, he's the one broadcasting this message] ... ooh... 7 characters...
