It'll make more sense once I get it going.

So would I. I still need to write at least the second episode, come up with names for the characters and design them before I can go forward with anything else (auditions, storyboards, etc.)

It's a remote possibility

Story and script
Since my last post, I have written the final screenplay for the first episode and the first draft of the remainder of the series. So far, it looks like there will be a total of seven episodes.

Cast of characters
I have all of the primary and secondary characters named and designed. I will also be posting slightly revised descriptions of each of them.

Silantro
Many see this endangered species of dragon as a threat to the kingdom of England, but Silantro is gentle by nature and wants more than anything to be at peace with them. He will attack, but only to defend himself and anybody else in harm's way. Because of his constant loneliness, he takes it upon himself to raise the King and Queen's daughter, who was inadvertently left behind upon birth. He knows that the right thing to do is to take her back to her true home, but ignores the problem for many years.

Jupiter, the Daughter of the King
Being born during battle, Jupiter was accidentally left behind. She believes Silantro to be her father. By the age of 17, she has come to be very independent and does a large part of the work around home, doing most of the hunting, fishing, cooking and anything that Silantro is incapable of doing himself. She can't imagine living with anybody but Silantro, which makes things all the more difficult when Silantro finally decides to take her home.

Leon, the King of England
Once a great and powerful ruler, King Leon falls into depression after his daughter is found lost and even moreso after his wife the Queen passes away. He believes Silantro to have kidnapped Jupiter and dedicates his life to getting his daughter back and having revenge on the dragon. Despite many unsuccessful battles, Leon always has hope that he will one day be reunited with his daughter.

Nathaniel, a Rookie Knight
Nathaniel is a newly-appointed and quick-learning knight. He starts out as the King's gofer, but is made part of the cavalry when the King is searching for more knights. Although he has many ideas, the King does not take him as seriously as he should and [Nathaniel] ends up going through with his ideas with or without the King's permission. He instantly falls in love with Jupiter when he meets her for the first time.

Haman, the King's Second-In-Command
The King's right-hand man is the villain of the series. Although a sycophant to the King's face, Haman believes that King Leon makes all the wrong choices when it comes to battle and order. He believes he can be a better ruler than the King and is always striving to prove it.

The Queen of England
Due to her small role in the series, the Queen is never referred to by name. One day, she went along with the King to watch one of their many battles with Silantro. Because she was pregnant at the time, she gave birth to Jupiter during an evening break. After retreating from a surprise battle with the dragon, the Queen left Jupiter behind by mistake, only realizing it after they made it back to the kingdom. She was distraught by this error and supported her husband's desire for revenge on Silantro. She later passed away.

The Knights
Although many have come and gone, the King always has a large army of knights at his disposal. They see their constant searching for the King's daughter as futile and only do it to follow his orders.

Other designs and special effects.
For set designs, I will be combining miniatures with large-scale sets. Most of the combinations will be done via chroma-key.

Silantro was one of the hardest characters for me to design and will be even more difficult to animate convincingly, so I will be doing a lot of test videos before I go forward with the filming of the series.

I will also have to buy more LEGO pieces, including several gray baseplates and gray pieces.

Audio
I will be holding auditions for the characters within the next week as well as drawing/filming storyboard animatics for the voice actors who get chosen.

I'd love to do some voice acting if you'd need it.

Jupiter looks like Dayden...

Update (1/23/14)

I have the final drafts for the second and third episodes written and I have begun to purchase the pieces required for the series (mainly gray baseplates and more gray pieces).

Also, I am currently holding auditions for the characters. For more info, either go to this thread:
