Okay... jest let me know, when you send the script, what you change.  I did a few minor changes myself.  I just don;t want the changes to stray to far from the original author's vision.

Here's the thing. I'm not so much trimming with nail scissors as hacking and slashing with a machete! The ghost of the plot is still there, but I've changed a number of things which I thought were either peripheral or difficult to visualise...Wish me luck!

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

Here's the link to "My Roommate Plapatine".  I'm surprised that I forgot to provide links to all of these in the main post.

If the story is changes to drastically, I may not want to accept it.  That's because the four stories from the Golden Age project aren't my own, and my intent was to keep with the original vision of the authors.   Still, I can't judge until I see what you propose.

I'll be away for the weekend -- will resume working on this on Monday.

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

Jahnocli, I never saw that script you said you would have for me.

Yes!

The WARM script can be read and/or downloaded here:
https://app.box.com/s/lo7r0w9sjncre19her8kkftxc3oolzs2

Be advised that it's very surreal, visually.  It may be a challenge but if animated well, can be a work of art.  But know that I would love to see how this looks when directed by someone!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: By the way, I always imagined that Anders and the voice be portrayed by the same person, with Anders speaking broadly and the voice speaking softly and with slight reverb, so they may even sound distinctive from each other.

TogFox animated & directed MARIANA already.  You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV7y8sm … e=youtu.be

The discussion thread is here:

Please let me know what you think of WARM.  Please reach out to me at holdingourown "at" ymail "dot" com.

By the way, if you ever wondered why I always type my email address in this format, it helps cut down on unsolicited emails from bots who scour the web for email addresses to spam.

Anyone who doesn't have a story but wants to animate one, and are interested in any title, just post here!

EDIT: Oh, by the way, there is one more title in the sci-fi collection that wasn't listed with the other scripts: PLACET IS A CRAZY PLACE.  Again, it has a lot of surrealism, but may be easier to animate (and it's funnier!)  You can read /download it here:

I guess Helium Brick isn't interested in Warm.  Any takers?

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

I would be interested in possibly animating "Thirty Minutes or Less". Would it be possible for you to send me the script so I can take a look at it?

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

Yes!  In fact, it can be read and downloaded from right here:

LMK if you caught that.  If you need it properly formatted in pdf, also let me know.

I always thought pizza delivery plots have a lot of potential for unpredictable or humorous results.

By the way, for fans of cosmic fantasy, I always liked The Divine Pendulum... take a look, gang, and see if it's for you.

The script for "Thirty Minutes or Less" is great! I think it has some real potential. Do you think I could make it?

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

Yes, you may.  Let me know when you get started.  If you adhere to the script, you have complete artistic and directorial freedom.  If you have any questions or would like to discuss the project at any time, contact me at holdingourown "at" ymail "dot" com.

Thank you!

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

I began writing #5 in the golden Sci-Fi series: Autofac (1955), but the author of Blade Runner.  before I discovered brickfilming, this series was going to be a series of comic books, and Autofac was to be the first in the series, with Mariana #2.  A tragic accident happened to a beautiful splash page that I spent ten hours on, and I abandoned the project. Then years later, I realized that brickfilm is a wonderful medium to make these stories, some not-so-well-known, discovered by the general public.  And thats how these screenplays came to be.

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

I never thought I would come here and would check these scripts, but somehow I got here and looked around. Congrats on your "Warm" script, but I would like to make "The nine billions names of God" a brickfilm. Can I? I can't promise that it'll be done much soon though. Also... can I take some minimal liberrties in the filming? (without changing the story and the dialogue)

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

Lego Studios P: YES!

You sure can make the story into a brickilm.  Please email me at holdingourown "at" ymail "dot" com.   I do allow liberties, but I want to stay true to the story upon which I based the screenplay, so discuss all the changes with me.  We had some pretty good compromises with Mariana.  I even changed elements from the original story myself, mainly because the nine Billion Names of God was written half a century ago and I updated the technology from printing text sequences (which nearly anyone can program on their own) to 3D printing items of any material.  So i you discus the changes with me, I may or may not approve, but will work them out with you if I don't, finding a middle ground.

I'm not sure why you'r congratulating me on "Warm".  But thanks.

Most of you probably know this, but "The nine Billion Names of God" is by the author of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Oh, there's one typo in the script I know of.  I'll let you know when you email me.

Allright, let me analize the script and check exactly how I would do things, and I'll e-mail you. mini/smile

Re: Here are screenplays that need animators UPDATED!

ok.  I'll be looking forward to receiving the email.
