KOTLC discussion

Well...





















HELLO!

I have know clue.

I'm here.

Animated.

Can anyone draw people? I think I'm pretty good at backgrounds.

I can!

My people are okay I just need to work on my hands a bit.

I could work on the script, too. Honestly, I'm better at writing than drawing.

Soooo once you guys have an idea of a script I can start drawling!

Yes. And no weird voiceovers either. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like, the voiceover in bad movies where the main character stares off into space, or the camera pans down a city, and she just goes on for five minutes, describing the exact details of who she is, what her world is like, etc.

I guess I'll go create a discussion for the script.

Hi, sorry, I wasn't on at all yesterday, I took a day trip with my mom and little sister to pennsylvania.

I see, Master Yoda

Hello, sorry I didn't get a notification on this discussion. I'm cool with being whoever. If we're doing animated we won't need as big a cast if some people play two or three roles.

But I think we should pick the style, Banana, can you try to send a few pictures of Team Sophie In Action?

Yes but what do you meen my team Sophie?

Like all of Sophie's gang and everything, you could draw a group picture, or them alone, but it's just to give us an idea of the style we're working with.

Ummm... sure it just might take a little while since there’s a lot of them! But under my profile there’s pictures of some of the characters separate.

That would be fine.

I think we should include the preface in our movie, and I have an idea on the script!

Blurry screen from Sophie's eyes. She sees bondages holding her hands together. There's a cloth coming toward her mouth and she only squeaks before it covers her mouth and the screen fades to black.
Teal eyes appear on screen and a movie-star-worthy smile
Screen goes black again.

Well they write many skirt before becoming perfect sooo.... maybe in the end we can change it a bit.

That's okay, of course, we'll have to edit it a lot, I'm just throwing in ideas!

After that we could do chapter one.

Scene opens to a close-up of Sophie.
(music is playing then is cut off and we hear Mr Sweeny's voice)
Mr. Sweeny: Miss Foster! Have you decided that you're too smart to pay attention to this information?
(Sophie looks up.)
Sophie (mumbling): No, Mr Sweeny.
Long shot of museum area, everyone's staring at Sophie.
Full length shot of Mr Sweeny, he holds up earbuds: Then perhaps you would like to explain why you were listening to your I-pod instead of following along?

Of course, we'd have to find out how to include all the thoughts of the other students in that without making it distracting to the viewers

Yeah

We could maybe have audible grumbles like 'Freak' or 'Genius girl' or whatever... I don't know!

Yay! Bravo👏

For voice acting, I could potentially do the male roles (I'm oddly good at that), but there's a problem...

I really hate recording myself, even if it is just my voice. I also feel terribly awkward speaking to myself alone in a room, and I don't know why.

Same. I could record male too I can sound exactly like my brother when i want to. I could also just have my brother help.

That sounds like a good idea.

Maybe we'll have to recruit some males on the team.
My dilemma is I don't have anything to record with that I can get onto these discussions.

Me neither...

my goodness you're talking about all of this but we still have no idea what platform we can use for it!

I could potentially be a backup male voice actor.

Maybe we don't even need to use a platform for recordings. We could just do subtitles. And as for the animating, I think there are a few programs that could be used for that.

((Sorry to interrupt, but what are you guys doing? I was in vacation, the I was sick, so I haven't really been around for like a week and a half))

The plan is to make a movie. Problem is, we have no idea how to actually do it.

So far Banana and I are drawing characters, Nova is drawing backgrounds, Watermelonduck is writing the script, and we're discussing how we should put in voices.

I could draw characters, too. And help out with the script. I am a multitasker.

Ok

Okay, do any of you know how to code? I can do Java Script a little bit (ie. I used to be able to) and I can use html, but we all use html to write our comments, also you can't make a movie with html.

I know a great programmer. Seriously, she's awesome at it, and can program in twelve languages.

Cool, with coding we can probably have her code the scenes and then video tape it and afterwards add voice overs. As a shortcut though, we just make one of those mock trailers you see on YouTube.

That’s complicated. Even for a hacker.

What do you mean by "code the scenes"? I'm not an expert, but I don't think animating requires any programming. I think it's just drawing frames and putting them together in an illusion of movement.

Banana wrote: "That’s complicated. Even for a hacker."

Hackers aren't always that great, though. It's just a stereotype.

Yeah, it was a weird idea and I think that animation software uses coding. We could probably find a kid one though that is really simplified. But overall, I didn't really think that through

No, I don't think it does. But just in case, I do have an animator friend that could explain how everything works.

Yeah I also have an animator/coding friend who’s pretty good.

Okay.
