Possible My Little Dash Movie

[morethanicecream 116]

Update 12/22/12

Alright, I have not been active with the MLD movie, to be honest. I took a beak cause Scene 2 had major fixes needed. I changed it up. We could get working on a little trailer if we have time. Anyone want to help me work on second scene. Private Message me your email, and I could have you help on the second scene. You have to be good at animating (I want this film to look professional). If you want to work on the entire film, quote me, telling me. I will be working on the 3, 4, 5, and 6th scene over break. I need the script done ASAP so I can get some animators, and possible voice actors

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

UPDATE 9/24/12

I have the script in progress. I already finished scene 2. It looks like it won't be terribly hard to film. I have a new job that anyone can help with. I do not have the program. Does anypony have Cinema 4d, cause that would be used for opening credits. That is all for now

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

So, this is just an idea. Yes, there are people already working on a movie already, but, I wanted to do something with it. I am not assuring anything. Anyways, how would any bronys like to help me work on an MLD movie. I don't know if it would happen, because I am very busy. But, if any brony wants to participate in this project (help animate Rainbow Dash, or do the voice, please show your work. I hope to do something in the future. I will be working on the script to the project. So, if you want to participate, just leave a comment below.

 

Here is what would be used.

Scripting Software - Microsoft Word

Editing Software - Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects

Camera - Sony HDR XR260V with possible

Lens (i don't know if I will have enough for it) - Sony 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G Telephoto Lens (it is about $1000)

 

I know the camera might not be the best. I might also be saving up for a boom mic, so I can get better audio. But, that is about all I have. I might also put the script onto here if I can't do it. Some otherpony can do it (if you have a good camera and all) If you do also finish the script, but don't have the editing software, I could edit it. Anyways, hope it can happen. I am busy with other film projects, so, it could take awhile

It sounds interesting, and I'd love to join you - but unfortunately my schedule is already crazy enough as it is. I have Adobe Premiere and After Effects, but my computer can't handle them. I just need better hardware...That and you're going to have a hard time competing against the people who are already making a MLD movie.

 

It's a neat concept though, and I'd like to see where this takes you.

I am not really competing. I just want to make my own version that is exactly like the story (of course with our spending a crap load of money)

Well rainbow presents is working on a my little dashie does that help at all by any chance? Cause I can't bucking wait for that

Well, I sort of want to make it almost identically to the movie. Everything happens in the movie. But, it will have my own calls. (What happens to Dashie when she returns to Equestria. Certain things will have to be changed because of a no budget

[ShyForever 284]

As long as the movie gives me the feels like the book did, then that's alright with me.

 

Unfortunately I cannot animate to save my life, so I wish you luck.

[~SadisticFluttershy~ 779]

The My Little Dashie movie would be so incrediabley awesome!

 

As said, there are movies being made by a guy named Jenomorph on youtube.

 

But to make the movie, you would really need to have alot more than just yourself to make the movie, such as actors.. microphone peeps, camera people.. voice actors ETC.

Needing good lightning, good script...Loud and clear audio.

Also you would need good editing software, scripting software(such as what u said)

 

And it takes ALOT of time to make such a movie, but you would need to have a good animation software to include Dashie because shes the main character of the movie, and i heard that's extremely difficult to do.

 

But if you decide to make a MLD Movie, then i say i will be looking forward to see it while eating my snacks and have my drinks as well, and most likely the kleenex

 

Good luck my friend!

Actually, I think the reason there are a few attempts being made at making My Little Dashie a movie is because it's the simplest possible choice. Think of it - it takes place on Earth, with humans. The only thing pony related is Dash (for the most part), meaning that Dash is the only thing that needs to be animated. Otherwise you can film the rest of the movie in a single afternoon with just a video camera.

 

And MLD also wouldn't require much of a crew either - just a male to play the self-insert unnamed protagonist, and a female to voice Rainbow Dash and operate the camera. Then as long as one or both of them knows enough about Flash to manipulate the Double Rainboom puppets, the film could theoretically be done with a two person crew.

 

Audio's not as big of a deal as people think. One thing that can be done is to take the video, strip the audio from clips where the audio is less-than-desired, and then just rerecord the audio elsewhere. This trick is particularly useful for filming outdoors, as it allows you to get rid of wind, vehicular noise, etc.

 

Though for those reasons, turning My Little Dashie into a movie, while it would be cool, would not be all that impressive from a technical standpoint as it'd be almost too easy.

Am I the only one out there that didn't like the story and finds it overrated?! :s

 

But cool you are making a movie, and good luck man.

Well i forgot about at the of the story when Princess Celestia and the rest of the MANE6 come by and take Dashie away because it was a mistake for her to be there

 

And those are the other ponies that need to be animated as well.

I'd love to help but I'm afraid my schedule is tied up right now, so I couldn't do anything major. But I'd still like to see the end result. I don't know if I could provide some small assistance.

Hence why I said "for the most part" in my prior post. Of the seven ponies, five of them are currently available from the Double Rainboom Team. Rarity wouldn't be too difficult to make by modifying one of the current puppets, leaving only Celestia. For all I know, there very could be a Celestia puppet available elsewhere already (I know there's a Discord puppet available on DA).

 

Still, considering that most of the film won't have to be animated, and the parts that do need to be animated can be easily done using readily available resources, I don't see a MLD movie as being too challenging.

Hopefully it does. I have a brilliant soundtrack already. A guy named Joaf the Loaf on youtube wrote most of the songs for it. Check him out at http://www.youtube.com/joaftheloaf

Thanks for your support. I know that Jennomorph is making a movie on YouTube for MLD. But the script he wrote, is changed. I don't neccessary like some of the changes. So, I decided to make my own. I also know how hard it is to make a movie. Hopefully I can be prepared when next year hits, cause, we are going to start filming then. Hopefully it turns out good. I am 80% sure the movie will be made. I just don't know about my schedule. More details will be posted soon

It's an easy thing to do, yes. Getting everything done, not so easy. Animation is harder cause we are talking about motion tracking (I have some difficult tracking to do. Getting sound, non copyrighted music, and having other people do certain things (edit volume to be 100% smooth.) takes time cause everyone has different schedules. It could take a year or not longer to get done. Filming will take me about a month, cause perfection is a bitch. Anyways, it is going to take me awhile to write the script. I will have to film next year and make sure I have my animators (I have 1 right now) get the animations done around summer time. I than have to edit and than I have to send the project to the sound guys. Then I send them the animation and get Rainbow voice and, well, I missed a few things, but it is going to be harder than you think. I also will be doing some effects. It is going to take about 2 years (1 year is writing the script).

 

I'd love to help but I'm afraid my schedule is tied up right now, so I couldn't do anything major. But I'd still like to see the end result. I don't know if I could provide some small assistance.

 

Sure you can. We will have small jobs for anyone who has a busy schedule. Most of the jobs are easy to get done. Like after we have the video done, we give the sound guys different parts to edit and make sure it sounds smooth. It doesn't take that long to do. You could definitely help us work on it.

Well, I suck at drawing/animation, but I know a few things about video editing. Although, that's really only with Sony Vegas.

 

I do want an MLD movie, but, as another brony pointed out to me, the problem would be the emotional impact of it. What I mean is, it's highly likely that it wouldn't be as sad as the story, wouldn't cause as many tears. You know, the movies are never as good as the books.

 

Still, I'm looking foward to someone coming out with a movie for it. If you make it, I'd watch it.

Well, do you know anything about sound, cause, we need the sound guys, or girls, whoever volunteers. Anyways, hopefully the movie will be as sad as the book. I am planning making it around an hour and a half, maybe longer, I need to see where the script takes me length wise.
