Please consider this option, it would change a random collection of dark Batman themed submissions into a movie that could be followed and enable us to better ourselves with the art of storytelling.
Believe me, this idea has been brought up many times already. I love the idea. In fact, if I had thought it out more before, I would have went with that idea. But we've already started, and there is no going back. I don't want people to have to redo their parts.
I really don't think that anyone has gotten to the point that they are more than 5 seconds into their movie. if anyone is then you can dismiss this reply.
Another thing is the script. I don't know very much about the actual Batman storyline, and I wouldn't want to have to go through so many different ideas for a script, when I could just let everyone come up with their own ideas.
-I'm a huuuge Batman fan and Batman is the most versatile character ever. The only basics to his story is that he's Bruce Wayne, a rich multimillionaire playboy who is secretly is the Batman, a dark knight for Gotham City. Creating a very loose story line that we all approach creatively shouldn't be too difficult, such as
(example)
Scene one- Batman is alerted to trouble and gears up
Scene two- Batman is at the scene being told about what happens
Scene three- Searches for villian while doing detective work
Scene 4- Fights through gang of thugs to villian
Scene 5- Gets to Villian
But that could go anyway you want it to. If not then can we at least make sure the project isn't too random. Because when that happens the movie stops being serious and becomes almost Robot Chicken like.
It's just much easier this way, and I barely have enough time to even make my own part, let alone write a full script for everyone else to use. I DO love the idea, however.
I can see how you take this to be a daunting task but thats what Collaborations are for. We work with each other on this. Not just create a scene and send it off to you then we're not really collaborating, we're just putting fla. files together.
This isn't my first collab and I want this to be the next big thing to really show off our skill sets. It might be more difficult than the original idea but it'll definitely be worth it when we look back on it.
