Also, Oloth: this is your show (literally) so do what you want to do. I'm just pointing out that trying to mesh fake violence, juvenile humor, and space might not be the best option for this. Maybe some nice puns and tributes to other shows and movies might be nice, but the more wacky you make it, the less fun it is to watch when you actually care about the story/plot. Just my opinion.

So we wanna focus on cOmedy or a serious space opera? We could do it like Red Vs Blue handle comedy and seriousness in the same series in having two storylines that handle those aspects and converge at the end.
Or we could go full serious or full comedy.

Enders is making the most sense to me though

I'm thinking mostly serious, with some subtle (possibly even dark) humor thrown in every now and again. I feel like, just as completely comedic shows with serious plots can get tiring, so can completely serious shows with no comedic undertones whatsoever.

It's adorable. Is that the 'Bold?'

An attempt to make a larger version of it, yeah.

Also, about the eventual production of this series, I'll make a casting call when we have some scripts and test footage on Bricks in Motion for serious mature and commuted voice actors. There are actually some pretty decent voice actors in the brickfilming community.
Well need some original scores, I think it would be much better and easier if it was mostly original content. Im not sure where we can get that, but that's a problem for later.
We need to work out a story. Needs an epic battle and needs to fit somewhere in the immortal war.
And at the start at least Terror Kahn need to be like almost invincible badasses

... Larger? If I were to guess, I'd say yours is smaller than the original.Either way, doesn't really matter. It's still usable.

Sign me up for that casting call.

EDIT: OH! I see what you did... you made a larger version of the Silkweaver, not the Bold. The Bold is the big ship in that thread.

Ah, sorry, got em mixed up somehow. Whatever

I'm in for both voice acting and dramatic violin, if you'll need original music.

Post by **AlphaLurker** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 12:04 pm

I'll voice act, I also dabble in 16-bit music (not like that would help much....)

Post by **enders_shadow** » Wed Sep 28, 2011 4:41 pm

I'm absolutely down for the voice-acting, though I must say I'm pretty useless in the musical department

To really sell the drama we gap humanize the characters and force the audience to take them seriously despite being minifigures. This means we need good voice actors who sound convincing and make the character real.

Anyway, I think it would be interesting if the crew somehow got ahold of this ship (possibly whilst it was docked and un crewed? Because it will be a big warship they bring along an illegal AI ( illegal makes it cooler, maybe they have a tendency to go insane and think they're superior and kill people? So they only connect it in emergencies ideally) to run the systems. They break out, but their original plan o sell it or something is ruined by some cataclismic event. So they have to use the ship to accomplish something to survive etc. They maybe get pushed into unmapped areas colonized by savages and it's all on the run then.
