UeberFriends Anime Series

[Nix-shi]

Yeah, a comic would definitely be a good idea. I was also thinking of creating 3d versions of the UeberFriends, primarily for the purpose of creating comics and/or animations about them.

Comics are fun to read, but it takes forever to really progress the storyline unless you're doing a big graphic novel or manga-style thing.

I may also just set down and write a nice short story about one or two of them too, since I can then describe what they're doing and how they're doing it, along with the dialog, which will be nice since I am not as used to writing just dialog as I am to filling fourteen pages with essentially "they went there, they bashed that guy over the head with a frying pan, and they went back. Along the way, they bickered" (read: Desert Dance of Joerg & Kayana) (*actually, if you want to read it, Ashley or myself might have a copy of it.)

what does everyone think about putting it in comic form? though it may be better off as a script

:edit:
lol sorry, accidental repost, i was busy ><

[Kireos]

It would be awesome in comic form but it would be alot of work and I think its just better leaving it as a script.

[Chepper]

Indeed... comic form would be really cool, but a tad bit more difficult. It would be awesome to do the whole manga backwards thing... lol But anyway, script is pretty cool as well... ^.^ I really enjoyed what Cory has done so far. *nods* Can't wait to see the characters get established and such...

[Nix-shi]

Yeah.
What I say is that I can continue writing it as a script, and after the first season (which we should set arbitrarily at 20 episodes) I'll start working on a comic. I could even do a bit of a story board and then Mei-Kun and whoever else could work on then redrawing the panels in a final form, scanning and assembling, and whatever else would be needed.

We'll see what happens in five, then ten, then twenty episodes of the series [destined to be a popular anime], I think.

[Goryk]

lol, why not 26 eps? thats a standard anime season

[Nix-shi]

Ahh, is it? Ok then, 26 episodes it is then.

Another question. How long is each episode? Like, are we even targeting this at television, or is five minutes' worth per episode good? (5 minute episodes might be a good idea if, for example, we were assembling the UeberFriends Anime with The Sims 2 charachters and sequences, or if we were animating it ourselves.]

For now, I am going to keep on writing long ~ish episodes, but they can be repurposed, probably by just chopping them in half or in quarters.

[Goryk]

yeah, like rather than a full act be a show just a scene or two, i think the 5 min eps would be fine though

[Nix-shi]

Well, the way I have the script organized now is that it's set up to where each act is a scene, however I don't entirely know if this is the "proper" way. It's just the way I've divided it.

The first episode is a wee bit choppy too, IMHO, I want to make the later episodes less choppy so that they flow better, and so that you know a bit better what's going on if I do manage to continue to make it choppy.

[Goryk]

yep, it will have a chance to evolve as we get started, we havent even established all the characters yet

[Kireos]

As the series continues I'm sure it won't be as choppy as the first epi. As soon as we get the characters all figured out and such the series will progress smoothly. We are infact just begining...so its expected to be a little choppy. ^^

[Goryk]

yep, we dont even have a set plot as of yet

[Kireos]

yeah, so don't worry about it. Everything will run smoothly as we start to put our thoughts into actions and so forth. Its going to be ever soo Ueber!
