Ideas for the future (important)

So, Invadercon was stressful and horribly over-exhausting. Yay. But the drive home was one of the most thought-filled times of my life. I really thought over the future of this project. Here's what I have in mind:

1. I intend to get interviews with every important cast member at some point. G4P has already done one with Eric Trueheart. For the others, Richard had told me that he was a fan of ours and gave me his (and Andy's and Rikki's) agent's email to set up an interview. You'll know when it's definitely going to happen when I leave another post asking for questions.

2. People at the con seemed to be amused by animatics. Animating takes forever. So while we are busy animating, why don't we make our own original mini-scripts and make them into originally voiced animatics with full sound effects and everything? It will be like full shorts, but without the animation. Just for filler projects to keep us and the fans entertained. It's like the old homework assignments from before. But with a point.

3. Halo and I want to learn Toon Boom Animate. I will be getting on that very very shortly. I'm sure Halo and I could learn within a couple of months.

4. As for which actual episode to do next?...G4P made that poll a bit early. I'm sure you all are fans of the Trial. It's a huge episode. It's very important. And there....lies the problem. It's a full half hour episode. Do you honestly think we're ready for that with our current staff? I think we should at least wait until we make an episode or two. Then maybe we'll attract enough staff members to make a full half hour animation. Until then, I think we've got enough on our hands with the 11 minute episodes. Besides...The Trial is supposed to be one of the end-of-season episodes. This is not the end of the season. We still have other pre-recorded episodes.

5. Everybody was disappointed that there wouldn't be another con. The planner of InvaderCon told me personally that there wouldn't be another one until 15 years from now (Zim's 25th anniversary). I foresee us getting huge once we finish a few episodes. If this happens, we will get a lot of members and a lot of donations. With enough donation money, why couldn't we hold our OWN InvaderCon? With the IZFAS planning it, you can guarantee that it would be the most epic con you've ever seen.

SO. GIVE ME YOUR THOUGHTS, MINDSLAVES.

Hmm.. I've talked to a few potential people, and so if nothing less, the Trial can give people practice with storyboarding, and I've actually given away a large part of the script already between Meranda, Nat, Dibby, The_Invader, etc. So for now, if nothing less, we can just give people the Trial as something to have auditions with, and if they are good enough, we'll store them away until we can use them ^^ I'll keep track of that if you want :B As for those who already have storyboard jobs, they can use this as sort of a refresher, for example, Nat wanted to practice the style again, so I'm still going to let these be assignments, then when we know what we WANT them to do, we can post-pone them, and get them started on what is needed. Sound good? Everything else does. And really, we could get into more conventions as it is. There are plenty of places willing to take popular internet people.

Mmmm... I think that animatic idea sounds pretty good (by the way, what happened to Puppet Show of Doom?). G4P: That sounds like a pretty good idea!
I'm really bad at writing long things when I can pretty much say all I can say in a couple of sentences.
Also, can't revote on the poll so I'll suggest it here. Return of Keefe. Anyone?

The puppet show was sarah's project. She just mentioned it here because she wanted us to see her progress and she needed voice actors.

I'm only worried with doing the trial is that it took us about 5 to 6 years to get nubs this close and thats only a 11 minute episode, so like swibs said it could be tricky, but then again if we show nubs on newgrounds we could get a few potenial animators and boarders.

Well, the fact that it's taken so long is just because of all the forum problems and the set-backs. We've lost members, and such, but we can't lose focus.

true, we have to push on knowing are goals so that we can achieve them, and we can't stop now even though we are really close to getting nubs out there.

@Couch Yeah, I was going to suggest Keef. Also, Day of Da Spookies? That's a good one.

I'm also working on how to animate with Toon Boom, I watched a lot of the tutorial videos, but I need good character models. But I bet HF can hook me up :).


Welp, time to get writing, I have a GREAT idea.

Poor Dapee :)
I think that we really shouldn't consider the Trial right now, cuz even if we start out alright with no problems, a) it's a long episode in the fist place, so b) over the course of time that we make it, lots of baaad things could happen, like apathy, and c) we haven't even totally finished Nubs. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled with the progress we've made, but we still don't know if we can seriously pull through and finish it. We need to make sure we can do at LEAST two short episodes before we go all-out on an enormous project we don't know if we can finish. That was my rant and reasons for short episodes. Since the Trial would take a long time to make anyway, kind of getting a head start on it by using it for applications isn't a bad idea (just wanted to be more thorough than my previous post since I'm awake now).
And why don't we just go through the episodes in order? That would mean Roboparents is next...
Day of Da Spookies.... We needs us some Skoodge! Yeah! (Cuz I like to contradict myself. I did that a lot in this post. Can you list how many ways I did it?)
