The Universe Collab 2008-11-10 19:30:13


A quick note: Yaay I can start a collab w00t!

You know that idea I posted on my userpage?

Well I've decided to turn it into a collab.

Summary
"The Evolution Collab" isn't what you might expect. It will be a slow, calm movie depicting the creation of the Universe, the Earth, and everything on it. Each piece will have it's own song (From the Audio Portal) and each author will have to create an animation for their time period, event, etc. Please remember this is not a religious collaboration; It will show evolution, the big bang theory, etc, so please don't make a part showing some deity creating everything.

It won't be THAT accurate, but it will follow the basic timeline of events.

Parts
A list of parts and time periods/events. If you think I should remove/add some events, just let me know.

NOTE: The listed song is only a suggestion; please don't limit your piece to the feel of the song... you can either use the song listed or a different one of your choice.

NOTE: The comment/description for each entry is also a suggestion. You can change it as well! Just stick to the main idea of your piece.

Event/Time Period:Creation of the Universe (The Big Bang Theory)
Song:Mystery in Space
Comments:This should show the big bang, obviously.
Current Author:_____________

Event/Time Period:Creation of our Solar System
Song:Mystery in Space
Comments:Show how our Sun formed. (you may have to do a bit of research) as well as show how the planets were formed.
Current Author:_____________

Event/Time Period:Cells merging to form multicellular organisms.
Song:Dream of Water and Land
Comments:Show single cells merging into multicellular beings... eventually morph your cells into simple animals and dinosaurs.
Current Author:_____________

Event/Time Period:Animals and Dinosaurs
Song:Ambients of Asia
Comments:Animals and dinosaurs roaming the land in a world full of nothing but wilderness. Be creative, please! (if you want to combine this with the next section you can)
Current Author:_____________

Event/Time Period:Meteor killing all life on Earth
Song:Invertebrata
Comments:A massive meteor comes and wipes out everything on the face of the earth; destruction is immense; fires run wild over the grey earth; but, at the end of this part, a single green plant sprout is shown and an animal comes to chew on it.
Current Author: Archon68 (unless You are doing the previous section and want to do this one)

Event/Time Period:Cavemen
Song:Cobalt Blue Sphere
Comments:Cavemen living in a cave, hunting animals, inventing fire (lol), etc.

Current Author:_____________

Song:Space Age
Comments:Zoomed out view of the earth, now completely destroyed...
Current Author:_____________

Event/Time Period:Big Light in Sky goes BOOM
Song:Space Age
Comments:The sun explodes in a massive BOOM. Then, show the beginning of a new star from the debris, symbolizing the repeat of History. This person is preferably the same person who animates the Creation of our Solar System.

This is a really good idea. I'm not sure if I'll have the time to make a part. I'll have to get back to you.

No worries--there's no official deadline... take as much time as you want, this doesn't have to be done ANY time soon because it will be A LOT of work.

wow man! this is a great idea, and its not just a voilent animation, it has a point. i would love to be a part of this, il try to show you a sample of work to confirm my skill. good luck :)

Response to The Universe Collab 2008-11-10 20:41:58


I think I'll have time for this. Is it okay if I have the Urban Decay period? I've already started a rough outline. The beginning is going to show a hand holding a gun with a cityscape behind it. Then it will have a woman crying with a note in her hand. Then I don't know what. Anyway, here is a preview of the artwork for the gun.

Alright, current parts list:

14hourlunchbreak is doing the "urban decay" period
stickmahn34 is doing the medieval part

PLEASE NOTE: If I feel your part is unacceptable or poorly done, I have the right to remove you from the collab... so put effort into your piece, please! Remember: Absolutely no nudity, voices, or un-needed gore.

Don't worry. Nobody will shoot the gun, it's only implied that they did.

For the menu, a futuristic carousel around an animated sun, or a galaxy within a sphere would be cool :D

I said un-needed gore; don't put it in for the heck of it... If you think it would improve your piece, by all means allow the gun to be shot.

If so, put me down for Acceptance of Science.

This is the best collab idea I've seen in a while.

I'm jw, when do you want like a preview of our part?

Response to The Universe Collab 2008-11-11 17:24:32


Just tell me what part, make it, and If I deem it quality enough (which, most likely, I will), you'll be in the collab. It's as easy as that!

ehhh.... sorry... Just animation--I think voices would "interrupt the flow of the movie". But sure, you'll do the "earth goes bye bye" part

No. My goal is to have animators speak without text or voices. Animate what you want to say.

Jimi Hendrx - 1983 (A Merman I Should Turn to Be) is a good song that would fit this theme.

Uhh... does that mean you'll do a part? Or are you just posting to annoy me?

NOTE TO ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE AUTHORS: YOU HAVE AS MUCH TIME AS YOU NEED TO MAKE YOUR PARTS. I WON'T REJECT YOU FROM ENTERING JUST BECAUSE YOUR PREVIOUS SUBMISSIONS WEREN'T OF A GOOD QUALITY; ALL I ASK IS FOR YOU TO MAKE SOMETHING YOU WILL BE PROUD OF. THANK YOU.
