			<description><![CDATA[[b]Major bump...[/b]

Is it just me, or is it ironic that this statement in my original post could now almost warrant another post...

[quote=Dyland]Recently, I've parted ways with the LEGO Adventurers and have turned my focus to [url=http://www.bricksinmotion.com/forums/topic/20228/sliders-an-interdimensional-scifi-series/]Sliders[/url], and a new secret original project...[/quote]

The "secret original project" thankfully eventually found it's way into my THAC XIII brickfilm, though, not in the way I originally intended. But, not that it's 2016, I think it's time for me to lay the [i]Sliders[/i] project to rest... at least for now.

How about everybody else? Have any of you cancelled anything since this topic began? Maybe you resurrected something from here, giving it new life in the months since...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think I've only actually abandoned one proper project, which was a full version of [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRx_ocDkZTc]this[/url].
Funnily enough, it's my most viewed video by a good deal and is something I'd love to actually make, especially with the current Marvel sets available from Lego.
I've got one other project that's been shelved called 'PITCH', which is still something I want to continue, most likely when I finish University.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hoooo boy....

This thread is really interesting - and inspirational in a way, to know that many of you also have mouldy old projects pushed so far beyond the back burner they've fallen down behind the stove. In my case, many of my ideas aren't so much 'cancelled' as 'on indefinite vacation'. I'd love to make them! I just happen to be in this weird space where I want to go beyond LEGO animation but am not quite ready for full-on stop-mo production by myself.

Some, however, I just can’t see myself completing, such as an entry for the long-ago Historical Fiction Contest over at brickfilms.com: Leonardo da Vinci, threatened by those in power to provide ever more fiendish weapon designs, awakes from a nightmare with a concept for the ultimate weapon. Wracked with guilt at the possibilities, he expunges it by sketching. Word gets out, and desperate to keep the secret, Leonardo grabs a woman off the street and paints her portrait over top of the same canvas - the Mona Lisa.

I’ve started THAC entries a few times, one I even recorded, shot and held back because of the sound effects. I’ve since lost the original voice track and possibly, now that I think of it, maybe the whole thing on an old laptop. Such is life!

The pirate movie, though… I’ve not given up on that just yet.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=HoldingOurOwn]Antonio, My scripts are about 28 pages each.  I think you, and most everyone else, since most are more skilled than I am, that you can tackle a 25-page script if you break up your mission into smaller goals and meet them one at a time!  I'd love to see the premise of The Mariaana (and more sci-fi) animated.[/quote]

Don't knock your skills short my friend. After the last episode of Holding Our Own I think your are a sitcom genius.
But I have learned how to tackle the daunting task of big script and like you say make them into smaller goals.
Just matter of getting it done.
If you are interested in reading the script, i would love to get your opinion on it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There 3 projects I had high hopes for and wrote scripts for 2 of them and an outline for one.
[img]http://i62.tinypic.com/28rmstl.jpg[/img]
Tripp Connor's & The Dragons Eye. 
The script was completed and voices were cast for the third installment in this film series.
Finished filming one scene and almost completed a second scene. But for some reason I was not happy with the look of the film and put it hold. Then purchased my Canon and did some shots with it and realized how much different the shots looked and decided to scrap what I had filmed and start again. Have not touched it since.

[img]http://i58.tinypic.com/14tbvhu.jpg[/img]
The Marianna
Mission control had lost contact with the Marianna. A two man crew is sent out to the vessel to find out what has happened.
They don't realize the horror they are walking into to. '
The script for this film was written and the vessel was built as well with a good part of the films voice parts cast.
What i still think is a great idea that has not been done yet will stay that way because this is a big film to do with the script being 25 pages long. I had actually approached Cooked Cat about doing the music for this film. To this day he is the only one who ever read this script.

Adam.
This is one of those projects you go back and forth to. You love the concept and really want to do it, but for some reason you just can't commit the time a project like this needs. An outline was written along with character outlines but that is about it.
The story is about a Dr. Walter Blackwell a renowned scientist who realizes after his wife dies that even with all the accolades he has achieved in life and for the man everyone thought had everything, really has nothing. And most important he has no one to carry on his legacy. Armed with a new purpose now Dr. Blackwell decides he will build a legacy for himself.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I wrote and started filming a Blacktron story somewhere around 2005. Got most of the way through it but wasn't happy with the ending. Five years later, I came back to it. Wrote a new wraparound bit to make the ending better. Got Keshen and a couple other people to do some new voices. The original footage was all shot on an old SD webcam so I reshot it all in HD, this time using blank heads so I could do digital faces. Got most of the way through and gave up again. I'm probably due to have another crack at it this year. Maybe I should reshoot it in CG and give up when it's 90% rendered.

I also spent three weeks making a music video for another Fight Like Apes track (with the band's blessing this time) but couldn't get the story to work and canned it.

There's also the matter of the scripts for parts 2 and 3 of Out of Time and the five Doctor Who scripts I've been sitting on for over ten years.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is an interesting and fun thread!  While reading these posts, I think, "Aw, gee.  It's a shame that one was cancelled.  It sounds like it would make a good cartoon!"  ORIGIN OF THE ARTICHOKE and many by Mickey just to name a few.

I did have an idea for a Holding Our Own episode where Angela and Brent get a GE refrigerator and it causes trouble.  The story is topical and based on real events from 2009: In a Quid pro Quo with the Federal government, GE was given exclusive rights to have its kitchen appliances be the replacements in the appliance version of "Cash for Klunkers".  This prevented the consumer from being able to choose the brand they wanted.  

In the story, the Schneider refrigerator goes on the blink and they exchange it for the GE model and it causes problems (which was also a 2009 trend.)  Well, HOO likes to satirize public figures and TV shows and such, but I felt it would be weird to single out a company as the main plot, even if was happening on a mass scale in real life.  So it never got past the outline stage.  Besides, I couldn't come up with a suitable bad pun with the word "Refrigerator" at the time  (HOO episodes have tortured puns for titles).  I have since then, including "refriger-hater".]]></description>
