our designer is back out of hospital , i ve buyed 3ds max 7 for an redicilaus price at dicreet.com and ive started with texturing all the models!!

Of course the ws a problem with OWF and the party site....

Aright Tim

Software Bug · #63 11-19-2004, 11:22 PM

It was 4.495.00 or something like that...
isnt that a stupid price for something where i dont earn money with>?

The out come will be good though . But is it really 10 hours ? Thats like waking up watching the movie and heading back to bed .

Alpha · #65 11-20-2004, 03:51 AM

Maybe you should have three part's of the film your own Lord of the Rings!

Software Bug · #66 11-20-2004, 03:53 AM

me and the crew has thinked about that and we think it only will have an duration of 1 1/2 hour or something like that...
first we had 10 hours because we had simply models but now they are nicer and of course very difficould to use....
but it will be an great movie!

Alpha · #67 11-20-2004, 03:59 AM

Tell me something I don't know! Anyway what new model's?.

I respect your desision, a ten hour movie would have been six hundred pages! And secondly, you can't decide how long the movies gonna be, the script does, a one minute movie would be one page, two minutes-two pages- 1 1/2 Hours-90 pages, and I highly doubt you wrote a script for 600 pages (I am a filmmaker incase you forgot, that's how I know these facts

)

We have put more details on them like the slig's button on the face.
We have added nicer textures.
We have done a great job

That's a big question, Tim. You would be best off emailing fanlegal@oddworld.com and giving them a detailing on what your movie is. I would say that producing it would be no more different than creating fanart or fanfics, but distributing it would be a whole lot different.

I have already, unfortunately, had to decline somebody's request that I host a music video they had made that used footage made by OWI (I did try, but Brinkster wouldn't let me do it anyway). I have another friend who made a trailer for an Oddworld film, and while I haven't seen it, I am assured that it is good. Another bunch of people who haven't seen it are OWI - they are legally unable to watch it.

I fear your project is going to be at the mercy of all kinds of copyrights and trademarks. Email fanlegal@oddworld.com.

I was reading the topic from the start and at the beginning i found this,
i rememberd ive mailed fanlegal@oddworld.com 3 times but never had any respond.
i also looked in my spam filter but it wasnt in there either.
i recieved 1 time an mail but not many info...
if anybody knows how i get their attention please tell me...
i am planning to send them a personal letter

EDIT 1 : SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST , MOD'S

Fuzzle Guy · #71 11-20-2004, 09:12 AM

Yo Tim, how many pages is the script, cos if you read my earlyer reply, I have given you a little advice on how long it's gonna be.

Software Bug · #72 11-20-2004, 09:20 AM

wel the into script is 23 pages.
The Mid is 265 pages.
And the end is 108 pages.
That makes 396
So thats +- 7 hours if my memory served my correctly...

+ there are 24 pages i dont know to put in the movie...

Fuzzle Guy · #73 11-20-2004, 10:41 AM

Yes, seven hours, I'm afraid Tim, that maybe a Re-Write is needed

Software Bug · #74 11-20-2004, 10:46 AM

but i dont think i should use your 1page-1minute system bechause i use also the {movement] bits and text mixed...

Get it?
i think some thing like 2 1/2 hour

Oddish · #75 11-20-2004, 01:42 PM

Could you show us as atleat one model of your characters, becuase I wanna seem 'em.

oddguy · #76 11-20-2004, 06:45 PM

It's well known that one page of a script equals approx. one minute of screen time. Ya.

Yo Guys!!

On a movie like my Oddworld the Movie (OTM) there must be new things.
But of course i cant let the old things fall away.
The idea came from Art Director Rose Wierenga ,
To let the old things in the movie but replace the signs.
So i give her and her 6 Art Crew members permission to create new signs.
Also they made some signs for new native & industrial things.
And they are very nice!!
Of course i give you guys a preview of the signs!!

But remember : The old things are still copyright and ® and/or TM. Oddworld Inhabitants. Inc.
So if you want to use them ,
Ask permission first to me (If Created by my crew) and/or Oddworld Inhabitants. Inc.

The new FeeCo DepoT sign.

A whole new sign : proudly i and my crew presents : The Native Fleece-Ranch

This is all we have , there are still signs to complete and the Art Department is working very hard to complete these.
Please support us by waiting.
And not to put pressure on us.
Thank you ,
Tim Cottenham & Whole Crew

With large action sequences, you must time how long those action sequences actually are and then record them down on a Database of some sort.

EDIT: Tim, I have just realised this, since your doing your script like a play script EG:

Slig: Crap!

Unlike a movie script:

Slig

Crap!

So the 1 page one minute rule won't work with that kind of script anyway, so you've got nothing to worry about!

Software Bug · #79 11-21-2004, 12:43 AM

my script is like that!

Guys, please give comment on the signs in my 10:20 post!!

Fuzzle Guy · #80 11-21-2004, 12:57 AM

Do you mean your script is like a film script? cos last time I asked you, you said it was like a play scrip

Software Bug · #81 11-21-2004, 01:06 AM

Fuzzle guy,
I can show it to you but it will reveal an very large item.
I must ask permission to Kevin Stoffers and Design Crew.
I have called Kevin Stoffers and he said it is alright!!
Of course this is a bit so dont think we let Abe behind!!
So i give you a bit of the script :

Shop-Clakker : So stranger!
Shop-Clakker : Your going for it???
Stranger : What do I get?
Shop-Clakker : I don’t know but the glukkons asked for help to stop this mudokon…
Shop-Clakker : You remember five years ago?
Stranger : What five years ago?
Stranger : The Candy Sale?
Shop-Clakker : No.
Shop-Clakker : The newspaper…
Camera-movement : Camera is moving around the room
Stranger : I never read them…
Shop-Clakker : I will tell you…
Shop-Clakker : There was this tale about that an Mudokon slave destroyed Vykkers Labs.
Stranger : So?
Shop-Clakker : I believe this is that mudokon…
Shop-Clakker : So you will earn good if you catch him…
Stranger : I will do it.
Camera-movement : Moving up to the poster on the table.
Stranger : I will catch this “Abe” for the Glukkons.
Shop-Clakker : Good.
Shop-Clakker : I will inform the Glukkons right now.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger walks out of the bounty store.
Camera-movement : Following Stranger when he walks out the bounty store.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger walks to the left to an old hut.
Camera-movement : Following Stranger when he walks to the hut.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger goes in the house.
Camera-movement : Following Stranger when he walks into the house.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger takes a bag.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger takes an box with live ammo and puts it on the table.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger opens the life ammo box.
Camera-movement : Goes up and takes a look in the open box.
Stranger : You’re gona help me to catch that mudokon.
Stranger-Movement : Put some of the live ammo in the bag.
Stranger-Movement : gets another box.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger takes his crossbow out of the box.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger puts on the crossbow.
Stranger-Movement : Stranger stands up.
Camera-movement : Goes up and with Stranger.
Stranger : Mud ,
Stranger : I should be warned!

Fuzzle Guy · #82 11-21-2004, 02:09 AM

I can't wait! It's a play script, The freaky thing is that in my Oddworld film Strangers after abe aswell...

The page by minute rule won't work either, as you have the camera movement, and most film scripts don't (I'm not meaning to offend you here)

I can't wait to see the movie now I've had that sneak preview

Software Bug · #83 11-21-2004, 02:17 AM

This sort of script is the easy way said my animators and i like it so i use this...

fuzzle guy, what do you think of the fleece ranch and the feeco sign?

Fuzzle Guy · #84 11-21-2004, 02:34 AM

Of cause I forgot it was animation

I love the signs

Software Bug · #85 11-21-2004, 03:25 AM
