Kickstarter Effort Ideas

I just thought of something. How about we Chatterboxers come up with something to raise money for on Kickstarter? A comic book, a movie, a video game... something!

How about this: We can all raise some money over Kickstarter to create an animated film with sequences created/scripted by different CBers after deciding on a storyline? Then, we can upload the scenes in our movie to the Internet... have one of us download them and edit them into a feature-length film, then get a distibuter to release the movie? That'd be awesome!

Or we could, like, all collaborate, write a script, then just one of us would animate the movie and find voice actors? Or some other way of doing it... hmm.

Or just forego the movie idea altogether and think of something else to do over Kickstarter? What do you guys all think?

Maybe we could turn our virtual mall into a playset or something! I've no idea how we'd do that under circumstances where we all are set apart in a website that won't allow you to post your email addresses or web links, but we can be pretty creative. Let's do something!

Oh, and Admin, if I had a P.O. Box, would you allow me to post the address of the box on here?

 

We just looked at Kickstarter and learned that it is for age 18 and up. You can brainstorm ideas for projects you might do if you were old enough. We will not post a PO Box address.

Huh. Strange what I don't know... Well, I should really pay more attention to stuff like that.

It does, however, say in the rules: 

*Parents and teachers can launch projects in collaboration with children under 18 only if the adult registers for the Kickstarter and payments accounts and is in charge of running the project itself. 

I suppose it's really a much too complicated idea for an online community in any case. But maybe we don't nessacarily need Kickstarter to do stuff like this.

An interesting idea....

 

There's foutain of youth productions if we're all seventeen and under and writing a script. I don't know how that works, though, and there is a possiblity any script we write could get rejected.

 

But I think writing a script would be wonderful! I offer my many talents to writing, drawing, or whatever we're possibly doing-ing!

Oh wait. It's in Massachutsets. Or however you spell Massazhutsets. Or whatever the state is with the postal abreviation MA. I believe we don't all live in MA, sadly. So no Foutain of Youth Productions.

I think it sounds like an amazing idea if we can find a way around all these technicalities.Smile

I think so too.

I think you can submit a script to Fountain of Youth from anywhere, but you have to be closer to do more with the movie.  

 

Ok, so... The only way to really make a movie over the Internet is with animation, right?  Because if we each are a different character, we can't all be in the same place to record a live action, so we'd have to record our voices and splice them together somehow.  We could actually do this from the comfort of our own computers, if someone has editing software (or doesn't mind getting it) and wants to nominate themselves to edit.  Of course, we'd probably have to have somewhere else on the Internet to get the movie together.

 

 

I do know the basics of animation with super cheap software if you guys need me to explain it.

I have iMovie and very cheap animating software, but I think that we should start with the script first and worry about production later.

If you all write litte bits of a script or something, I could maybe combine all of them into one thing (providing school doesn't give me a bunch of work to do:). 

Admin, if we did this could I post my email so that everybody could just send their stuff to me that way? It doesnt have my real name in it.

 

I'm sorry, but we're not allowed to post personal email addresses.

I want to learn how to animate so I can make this tralier thing... but there's no good way! 

I have iMovie, though it's practicly dead, I make so many videos on it. I can do claymation or screen recordings, though. If Steve gives up the minecraft computer.

We also need a storyline. Any ideas, anyone?

Perhaps one of Joe the Stickfiddler's HypQuests and answers?
