If you need more experience, don't be afraid to try and expand your ability to write scripts on other smaller projects. Unless you can do it yourself, you also may have to put down some money for an animator. And when you do get a script on paper even if it's a rough draft, I would recommend putting it out for reviews. I highly doubt people would steal a higher risk piece like this, and if it becomes a Newgrounds animation the fact that it's in the site's BBS means that you have something to go to the site staff with.
1. I like the advice of expanding writing abilities! I have a ton of other small projects in mind, some with dialogue, and some without it. Should I start with short projects with dialogue first?
2. I do have some experience with animation, I'm just learning to draw better so it'll look better. I'm reading books like, "The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation" and "The Animator's Survival Guide" for more advice on animation and how they created their stories.
3. I will put out some rough drafts for review sometime. I LOVE criticism. I hardly ever get it! :3
4. I hope I'll have something to go to the staff with.
I'm not trying to discourage you, in fact I would like to encourage you to get a project that means so much to you completed. Just know that the leap from writing to an animation is not one to take lightly.
Thanks for the advice! I'll take it and hope that along the way, I'll provide this dying site with something good for everybody! I want to develop and take care of this story as if it were a child in the womb. I'll look at your stuff too! Have A good one! :3
Being new to this site, I want to start my three part mini-series off with a bang with a high quality story and characters. But, I'd like to also let music, facial expressions, lack of dialogue, and animation spark the interests and emotions of the audience. The mini-series is also a bit a of a tribute to the music and songs that touched me growing up and how I feel now. I'll use certain songs in in the films to fit the emotions of the characters, settings and situations.
Anyways, here's the basic premise of the first part. It's still in consideration at the moment.
It is about a varmill, a creature that lives in an old-time Irish-inspired land, who doesn't spare a name or gender. It was born unlike the rest of its kind. In its hometown, a myth has been passed around that when a varmill with a green complexion and black eyes is born, a destructive curse would fall upon various lands. So, it had a hard time growing up, but was helpful, resourceful, and strong to its parents and the villagers at much as it could. It saved another varmill from falling off a cliff, makes small harps and whistles using raw materials it can find, and gives the birthday presents it makes for itself to the young varmills of the village to bring good luck to them. Nobody knew that the gift giver was the green varmill. It always wants to make the others happy, but the residents, and even sometimes its parents, would either ignore it, or remind it that it will one day cause harm to their home. When it was 9-years-old, it gave a flower gift to a young male varmill. He was deathly allergic to the pollen. That male varmill later on died because of the rapid allergic reaction. The varmill and its parents we're driven out of the village because of a fear of the curse beginning to spread by it. The varmill and its family escaped, but only to be stranded in the Immortal Forest alone. During a storm, the young varmill gets lost and separated from its parents, and is left alone. Along the way, it meets two other creatures from different parts of the Western European-inspired lands. They seek to find out why their homes and other parts of their world are experiencing strange storms that transport them to different places and times. And find out what REALLY caused them to appear. The two new characters don't believe that the green varmill caused them to appear. So, they must venture near and far together, growing older, collecting clues and special objects, meeting new friends, and help each other to find their loved ones, and the loved ones of others. And along the entire journey, the green varmill will discover more about WHO it is as opposed to WHAT it is.
So, that's what I have so far. My problem is, with something like this, what do I need to do to make it more interesting and non-annoying? What cliches should I avoid? How can I make the green varmill more believable? How do I start out the story out fresh and of high quality?
I'd just like some advice if it's not a problem. Thank you! :3
