Epic jointly-produced JMOV?
Anyone interested?
Here's my thoughts:
-One [basically] full-length ASCII motion picture produced using JMOV
-One coordinator/compiler, and anyone can pick a scene to ASCII-fy and email the finished
scene to the compiler
-sig's (and possibly self-portraits?) of contributors scrolled at the end
What I had in mind was something reminiscant of Simon Jansen's Star Wars ASCIIMATION
(http://www.asciimation.co.nz note-this site worked for me yesterday, but not tonight,
keep trying). This is for a few reasons:
1. Some of the art is already drawn (like some of the characters), making scene production
a bit easier.
2. There is already an established size (67x13) and framespeed (15fps) that seems to work
well for the movie.
3. Mr. Jansen hasn't mentioned getting sued by LucasArts.
4. Star Wars scripts are easy to come by.
5. There are plenty of sequels. ;)
Another thought I had was one of those old silent movies, we could even try the midi NG's
to see if they'll make us a midi of the piano score! But, I'm not that current on old
silent movies. (That and I'm not certain how to get a midi file to play simultaneously
with a jmov... hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say-no-more ;)
The scenes could even be posted in plaintext for the whole NG to review! We'd have to
set a standard ID frame to start each scene until the final compilation, though. But that
wouldn't be too complicated. This is where having one designated compiler comes in. In
order to avoid redundancy, a central coordinator would have to keep track of who is doing
which scene. They would also keep backups and compile the scenes as they are completed
into a final product.
Again, anyone interested?
Cheers,
