Public Cel Animation TF
Transformation Nation Town Crier
" Hear ye Hear ye Hear ye" " Long Live the Queen" RFP # 2013-2303 Request For Proposals Open Source Public Cel TF Animation Archive Tender submissions to Larry Barron knot_disclosed@yahoo.com Back in 2006 when it looked like the tf community would be facing a shortage of tf themed video material ( the closure of the ShadowLord site,etc) The Founder figured the solution was for the tf community to make its own amateur tf themed movies. So The Founder played around with Charcoal-mation to mass produce cels that others could upload/download and fiddle about with as the base for a "Open Source Public Cel TF Animation Archive" Note the word "base",theory being other amateur animators,scriptwriters,artists,musicians,voice actors,editors,choreographers would eventually contribute to grow the thing and start banging out short 1 to 3 minute animated shorties. Basically The Founder was building "TF Hollywood" and not surprisingly it didn't pan out.Creative burnout. However by the fall of 2006 The Founder had about 250 to 550 MB worth of short 3-60 second video tracks,thousands of cels that made them and audio f/x files,music files and odds and ends from that project lying about on a cd-rom So after the creative flameout The Founder fled from that cd-rom as quickly as possible,and " Open Source Public Cel TF Animation Archive" went on hold Come 2013 the folks who do TSA Bash talked about Mako premiering his new work "Paradox Alice " at the San Antonio,Texas 2013 Bash So if you're going to make 2013 Bash about tf movies, why not make it a "TF International Film Festival" ? knot_disclosed liked that idea and also learned of the existence of the long lost cd-rom and the project it was part of "Open Source Public Cel TF Animation Archive" So,after about $9.99 in postage,envelopes,a General Public Licence granting the public the right to do what they jolly well please with the thousands of cels and video tracks,and the usual sundry materials,the base for the " Open Source Public Cel Animation Archive" now resides somewhere in the USA with *****************knot_disclosed******************* * However since to make animated shorties requires marketing,artists,audio editors,video editors,voice actors, scriptwriters,DVD cover makers,spin doctors,cel and clip choreographers,general creative input obviously the cels and video tracks from the 2006 project would require a major effort by amateurs to hammer into a animated shorty up to exacting standards of the *************public************ One rather major ingredient for such mini-movies would be scripts,which is what the thread was originally about. However since such a project is beyond the capability on one amateur,contributions in marketing,scriptwriting,etc are welcome the "Open Source Public Cel Animation Archive" resides with Larry Barron knot_disclosed@yahoo.com Sincerely The Founder Last edited by morwalugi; 03-23-2013 at 02:59 PM.
