Topic: Animator wanted for new series "My Roommate Palpatine" (Star Wars them

UPDATE: I'M LOOKING AGAIN FOR SOMEONE; new post is on post #8.

Hi.
My brother created a series and outlines & specific jokes for a series he had planned for a while: "My Roommate Palpatine".  It's about the misadventures of the Dark Lord of the Sith and a guy named Kevin as they rent an apartment together.  Originally he wanted it to be a live action series in 1970s style, then flash animation, but I think it might make a good brick series.  We have a script written for the first episode, about 8 minutes.  We'd like a Star Wars fan to direct/animate, but we have only a few demads of our own that I think aren't unreasonable:

1) My brother wrote and my band recorded the theme song.  We'd like it used every episode.
2) My brother is particular about exterior establishing shots, and transition music that we wrote, that occurs in between scenes.
3) I want to be credited as the voice of Palpatine's excitible roommate, Kevin.  There's a certain tone & inflection we want, and I'd like to voice him
4) Just credit my brother and I at the end as writers/ musicians.

send me a forum EMAIL (not PM) or just a regular email at holdingourown "at" ymail "dot" com for a script if you are seriously interested in a comedy Star Wars themed series.

I don't know how many episodes, but My brother has ideas for at least three.  You'll need for episode 1 a palpatine figure and an emperor's royal guard figure.

PLEASE NOTE: I don't know what happened to the original director.  I'm once more looking for someone to direct this script.  PLEASE EMAIL ME if you'd like to animate a series of at least 3 episodes that are a2bout 7 to 8 minutes.

I honestly can't think of any decent animator who would be willing to make someone else's film. Maybe I'm wrong (and I hope I am), but I just can't see this working out. Good luck with the film though! mini/smile

My sentiment exactly, although I'd suggest doing this live-action if you can. Personally, this doesn't sound like the kind of thing I'd watch, but I think it would work better live-action than as a brickfilm.

I hope you find a way of making your series a reality, but like brickelodeon said I just don't think any decent animator would want to put the time and effort into someone else's film.

Oh, that reminds me.

Have you seen a big-chinned boy?

Re: Animator wanted for new series "My Roommate Palpatine" (Star Wars them

Actually, this was originally going to be a live action series.  However, I did think there were people on BiM who are skillful animators but aren't into writing, the same way that IRL There are people who direct and people who write, and rarely does a writer direct his own work.

I know. You said so in your first post. Hence why I commented.

Re: Animator wanted for new series "My Roommate Palpatine" (Star Wars them

It kinda seems weird to animate others ideas.

Though its easier if someone tells me what to animate.

I don't know the premise of this is awkward.

Why aren't you able too?

Re: Animator wanted for new series "My Roommate Palpatine" (Star Wars them

Silents, the reason is that the series I do has long episodes & takes all my Brickfilming time, and I never know when I have it as a father, and one of my children has special needs.  My animation is always second to my family.  I'm passionate about the series I'm working on, and I know if I spread my animation time out beyond it, the quality of everything will suffer.  But I do love to write, and hav e a lot of scripts that I've written, and I figures there were so many people out in BiM who 1) are more talented and 2) prefer to animate than write.  I also write a lot of sci-fi scripts and ideas for music videos.  Most scripts I write are 5 to 8 minutes long.  I'd love to hear from anyone who wants to try any of these ideas out.
