The Classic Black Falcons torsos would be best for Tolonjay's soldiers, I think (you have a lot of Classic Castle bodies there...). Personally I don't like the skater hair on Santis, though; it just looks goofy and off to me. I would go for the topknot, it's grown on me a lot and gives him a sort of Samurai feel which I really like. Also, I'd recommend going for grey or dark tan hair for Danju, as the colour of the Hawkeye hair also looks weird next to the colour of his beard--though that could just be me.
I intend to use the Black Falcon torsos for the Tolonjay soldiers, I'm really liking how they look (even though they're not that medium blue color). I just think Santis looks awesome with a topknot, I'm probably going to use that for the majority of it. I'm still not entirely happy with Danju...for one thing, white looks totally off, as does light grey. That's the problem, is that his beard is dark grey and putting a light grey hairpiece looks totally wrong in my opinion. I'm still working on that, and my hairpieces in tan/dark tan are fairly limited.

FlyingMinifig wrote:Also, just out of curiosity, are you basing this mainly on the central storyline of Knight's Kingdom (finding the golden disc, defeating Vladek, restoring King Mathias) or is this going to be more your own storyline?
First, I'm basing this off the main storyline, I want that to be at the heart of the story. Vladek takes over the kingdom, the four knights rescue King Mathias, knights go to citadel to recover the heart of the shield, tournament, Vladek loses. Besides that I'm adding to the story by using
a) the online comics, they're the same basic story but expanded a lot.
b) The old Ask Danju answers from the LEGO website, there's actually quite a bit of information that may help regarding history and backstories and just the way things happened.
c) The collectable card game cards. I just started looking at them on bricklink and these offer a lot of information on the backstory of the knights and vilages, as well as other things. Not much to the storyline itself but it adds further complexity to the lands.
I don't intend to add much to the story, really there's a lot here already to make a good length film. It's mostly just deciding whether to have much on the backstory of the knights or the kingdom of Morcia, whether it should have a prologue of some sort, all that. But I don't plan on adding anything I just made up to the story. Planningnot to.
As for the Great Sorcerer...I really don't know. I think I'll see if I feel there needs to be something bigger behind it when I'm finished, and just see how much I have already. If anything, at least a reference or something brief in the history or prologue but I don't expect him/her/it to play a major role in any way.

Also, let me know when you're starting to think about voice actors. I'd be more than willing to do some.
FlyingMinifig wrote:Also, if you need someone to critique your script I'd love to help out. And maybe also try out for voice acting (for Rascus or Danju, who were my favourite knights)--that is, if I get a mic that actually works properly...
Now that school has started back up it's going to be progressing a lot slower, especially when I'm ready to actually film it. I think this project will take a long time (for me, at least). I'd appreciate it if both of you could critique my script when I'm mostly completed with it, and possibly other story concepts that I don't really want to post publicly because they're not entirely public knowledge.
I'll put up a casting call as soon as I'm done with the dialog, that's the main issue with the script for now. Thanks for the offers!
Thanks for the help everyone, you're all so helpful!
