Let's all get together and make an anime!

[Shoprocks]

EDIT:

The anime is still going strong.

What we might need in the future but don't need right this second: Animators, background artists, musicians. Try to have a sample of your work ready.
What we don't need: Any more business plans, NO MORE WRITERS

WE COMMUNICATE A LOT OUTSIDE OF THIS THREAD.
The staff now uses this thread to easily tell each other what's new in the anime.
Reading this thread will take tons of your time.
It won't even tell you what the anime is about.
The first ten pages are for a different series that died. The pages after that technically refer to this project, but it has since then changed beyond recognition.
If you are a newcomer and are interested, please make a new post or PM me. I would be more than happy to tell you what we're about! <3<3<3
Troll talks all matter-of-fact, but he's not part of the group and is usually wrong. Only trust a user like Shoprocks, Pwii, Owlgravy, Interterrestrial, Suneda, Rinncake, or Lain.

The Proboards website is old and don't go to it.
Our offish web site: http://pocketwatchdiscord.smackjeeves.com/
YouTube where we will post our episodes: http://www.youtube.com/user/ClockworkCowStudios

The basic premise is:
We are doing a steampunk anime series with multiple episodes that are relatively short in length. We have a storyline, we have characters to fill it, it's serious, but it's funny too, full of action and emotion. I wish I could tell you more but this project is constantly evolving and it's a pain to keep this old post updated. (That's how awesome we are--the project evolves so fast we can't even tell the general public about it!)

Comic collab/groups are rarely successful... animation even. :/

I believe ya, to be honest.

But if we get a few really dedicated people together, it might be possible.

What's it going to be about? I can't sign on to anything if I don't like the subject. I write and have a distinctive (and I find annoying) voice and Incredible. Acting. Talent. I can project without difficulty to the back of a moderately sized auditorium. But, until you come up with a subject I can't help you.

Tell me what you like, and so it'll be! The only genre I'm rejecting is straight-up shoujo romance.

If you choose to be involved, we'll be happy to have you on board.

I have to do all the concept work too?

Not at all. We're just open to suggestions because right now this project is a tiny baby.

To all participants: Just do the parts you want to do, and I can take care of the rest! I'm willing to write out a script all by meself. I could animate every frame and do every voice. But that would be no fun! The point is to get you guys involved too, and really make this a community thing.

So tell me, everyone--what genre have you always been interested in? Do you like to draw sci-fi action? Have you always wanted to write for a high school comedy or find a place for your fantasy OC?

I can help!

[Shoprocks]

I can help!

Alright, glad to hear it! :3

I got a great idea, depending on how long this is. If we get 70-90 minutes (maybe we can do it in ten installations of 10 minutes and go for 100 total), then we can do something like Black Hawk Down.

Trailer
Whole goddamn movie! - FREE until they take it down (2 hours+)
wiki on the book - I got maybe 100 pages in before having to return it. Gonna check it out again a few months from now. One awesome story, and it's true.

A mission to kill some warlord goes bad and guys are stuck behind enemy lines. We can work out when and where and how many there are, but that's the core idea of the story.

That sounds really interesting. I recommend we start with a pilot episode just to make sure we can finish it, but I'd like to see it go further.

I can be a voice animator (mainly with extra's)
But I can also help write plots and explanation things
Or draw ;O

[Babushka]

I can write, design webpages, make promo art, and possibly do background art or animation. I have a wretched voice so I shan't be acting and my instrumental skills include banging on pots like a drunkard.
Recently I've been on a dark streak so I'm interested in doing a psychological horror or the sort. But if that's too over the top, I would also like a slice of life or sci-fi anime. I adore sci-fi by the way Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Star Wars and so on

Right now, we need:
-Writers
-Animators
-Background artists
-Promo artists
-Web designers
-Voice actors and actresses
-Musicians

...sounds like me, I guess... however the story must interest me for me to join in. That would mean no sci-fi or mushy romance. I generally like fantasies, war stuff, and a few other things, provided there isn't any suspense. There is a problem though - what does everybody else like? You should announce a genre of some sort first - something you're sure you want to work with. With a genre decided, people could start throwing ideas out there. Otherwise you'll have people comming and going just because it seems like it will turn into a craptastic story.

You'll be going blind until you have a genre. Goodluck. My strongest points are quick and effecient character design sketches and wasting my life on Skype, where one can contact me easily and daily, however I can actually do everything on that list with the exception of animation - something I'm learning still.

I was the first person to suggest a war story!
I don't know what skype is but we should team up and start getting stuff done.
