Darker Shades of Gray - A BrikSpace BrikFilm

To be completely honest with you, I've forgotten, but concocting a new plot is no problem.

Oh, how does voice acting work with Brikfilm?

... bad, Imo. then again, all voice-acted stop motion animation I've seen is pretty bad acting, so with good actors you might be able to get it right. good dialogue would help as well. The thing that bugs me most about it though is there is no sync of lips and such to tell you who's talking, so it's kind of annoying and confusing.

I mean, I'm a theater kid. I can't speak for my script writing ability, but I can at least make one or two of the characters sound believable.

I see what you mean about the lack of lip-syncing, though. That could be an annoyance, without some extra editing on FC's part.

Lip sync can be effectively animated with body movement.

We need some ideas for a story, group discussion in my experience yields the best ideas.

immortal war related. And it should be an adventure, not so much a pitched battle. Maybe with leaders of the Alliance up against an army of Immortals and they must secure an artifact or somesuch? Rescue operation?

May I collaborate? I have plenty of ability to aid you all in your story.

Feel free to throw out ideas at will. We'll pick and choose what we like and stitch together an awesome plot.

Rereading! Y'know, like "Reloading!", only I'm rereading the thread- oh never mind.

There should be a part where a Nova Sword and an OTC clash.

One isolated awesome incident. Who wouldn't like to see it in stop motion?

What if some anti-immortal alliance troops crash-land on a forest world, with an immortal dropship following them. Both factions soon discover that practically the entire planet wants to kill them, so they need to fend off the native wildlife as well as each other.

Also, I could be a decent voice actor if needed.

Yep, gotta have masses of vicious fauna.

Ok, looks like we got a scenario brewing, but we need a story that focuses on particular characters.
We can use this in tandem with my brikwars animated series to advertise brikwars on youtube and maybe increase activity on this forum a bit.
But an immortal war themed thing sounds ok, I'll have to buy some immortal armor and parts for whatever the ga- I mean Alliance faction is.
I've been watchin tonnes of battlestar galactica lately and that what got me interested. Shaky cam, realistic documentary style filming of space battles is a must.
