Jack: the animated series ::Call for help::

For obvious reasons, 'Sympathy for the Devil' might be used at some point...
That joke's just too good to pass up.

I actually figured out how to use this for maximum effect...

Put it in a car radio, as somebody drives to work...where he'll have an appointment with Jack...
Neat intro sequence, you get both a sense of 'business as usual' and a sort of nasty, nasty foreshadowing, if you know the name of the song.

Another exercise in pain.. heh, flash can be tough, but fun at the same time. Just a test walkcycle of Jack wandering through the wasteland as it were

A great flash there Ian. But it reminded me of that fan art where Fnar looked like Megaman (loved that game). Any chance of an online Jack game?

Ugh, I'd hate to see Drip's special attack.

"Mega love monkey spining dick whip kick!"

Hee hee!

You know, I actually have the dubious (who am I kidding? I await this with baited breath) opportunity to portray Drip in my fanfiction. I'm looking forward to it - If you think being NEAR him is bad, you should try fighting him to the death. Ick ick ick.

wow! I'm a good thing to have around.

peole that claim to be all in existance for goodness and kindess and 'understanding' throw me away, Arkonviox's ecco comminty has some humorus 'mean' people, but the like me there. here, we like a comic about well, it ain't "adventurs of happy bunny".

and look, i give ideas and is loved for it.

one reason I got kicked out of the Gryphon Guild (if some of you know it) is i pretended to be a overzelious fundmental-type person and show all the faluts in a religon. *gruss at guild* I suggested a fourem area for resipie exchangeing...this was tossed out insted "religon and spirultality" was put in the place (I thought it was a no no to talk aout religion with folk?)

anywho, If my voice were nice i'd talk, but mabye -some- animation I can do...or hunt for people/things.

for those with voices that cannot be manilipulated well, there may be toys and programs that will help distort.

i would record SFX if i had programs for good recording...otherwise there is fuzz.
music? does flash use wav or other? me? my skills aren't good.

*shrugs* this will be a large thing to embark on, it will take more than one..er.'furson' (fur+person?) more than 1o!
killfrog.com has now put animations on dvd to buy, Jack on CD? lol, thats my dream, to 'harass' people with cartoons.
oh well, i will go here now...*points leftward then runs into a wall*

I'd be willing to do voice acting if you need it, although I am way up here in Middle of Nowhere, Canada (aka. Sault Ste. Marie.) Just tell me what to do and it shall be done

I'd like to help out, but I'm not that great of an artist yet, but maybe I could help with voices or something or another. I can write well according to what my peers say but I'm not sure how that would help other than scripting.

Jeweliesa · Post by **Jeweliesa** » Thu Mar 07, 2002 5:41 pm

I don't know how many voice actors you need, or whatever, but if you need a female just let me know! I'm willing to help out this project! ^_^

That's nice but I have a small complaint that the ground looks like it moves faster then Jack is walking.

Pardon me if I sound anxious, but how would one go about trying out for the future kick-ass-featur-length-film-that-will-blow-away-all-other-movies-when-it-hits-theatres.....I just can't wait....also I would like to reinstate that I would like to offer my assistance to this cause....i have totaly lost myself.

Tiltwolfe · Post by **Tiltwolfe** » Thu Mar 07, 2002 7:37 pm

Ok folks,i got a lot of responses today,
so ill make it short.

If you want to be a voice character actor,
when i post the characters starring in the series pilot,ill have you read a few lines,and send them,(mp3 format please!) to me and david for review.Karma has fnar nailed down,but there's possiblities for angels,other sins,Even jack is still open,plus some of the supporting characters.

In jack himself,there will be a pre-hell and post hell jack,so two voices will be used.

As for editing and post-production,ive got that nailed down.Music is coming to a head too,thanks for you guys who emailed me and offered the help.

Most of the animation will be done by me,but since the animation system being used for this is a one-time setup to create the characters,i will need a good backdrop artist,especially if you can render scary backgrounds in 3dmax and make them into vector graphics,that would rock.

Im looking at a release time of Spring of 2003,so everyone is going to get a shot at this.

Im pretty sure,with the exception of a few people,most of the people on this project have regular jobs,therefore,the release time of spring 2003.

Trailer posting has moved up to monday evening,since im getting upgrades this weekend and wont have enough time for the weekend render.

well,thats all.bleh.Im tired.

Oh. What are the lines to read?
(in case I want embarrass myself like never before)

Striker · Post by **Striker** » Fri Mar 08, 2002 4:20 am

Heh, yeah, I'm interested in that too. I've got a friend with some professional recording equipment living next door, too, but I guess I'll probably have too much of an accent...

El SillY · Post by **El SillY** » Fri Mar 08, 2002 7:37 am

I never thought of this before but R.E.M.s Leave sounds very Jackish in some way, lyrics are here: http://www.retroweb.com/rem/lyrics/menu ... nHifi.html for anyone interested, as for the song it self, I recommend either buying the CD or if you have no scruples (like me that is) download it from somewhere...

El SillY, make a brighter world, add ish to everything...-ish
