Another Turnabout crossover...maybe...help wanted!

[TheYoungMathProf 11]

So, I have been thinking about starting my own Turnabout crossover for MLP, set to follow up the story line of the original (a continuation). As I am currently in college, I am still in the brainstorming phase, writing down background information and back story for new characters, as well as invent a convincing and perplexing crime whilst staying believable and logical. I figured I would take this time to try to drum up some support for a full on project similar to Turnabout Storm. If I can get voice actors, some musicians (though given enough time, I could write my own music), artists, and at least one animator, I think this could turn out very interesting. I will work on this project periodically until Summer, where I will spend plenty of time writing and revising the story. If I don't get enough people, I will just write a fanfic version of my idea, and perhaps someday someone with the resources will be inspired to adapt it. 

If you are interested, just say so in the comments. State what you would like to do, and we will see if this goes somewhere! 

If you want to be a voice actor, you must have a good mike and you must be able to emote. If you think can differentiate your voice without sacrificing you ability to emote, feel free to try for multiple parts (which of course, you don't know about yet...). For now, you should just get a good mike though, and even if this project fizzles out, you will have a good mike for a different project! I will post an update for specific vocal roles needing to be filled.
**It should be noted that I want characters from Turnabout Storm with an established voice to be played by their original VAs if possible. This means the parts for Phoenix Wright, Sonata, Cruise Control, and a few others may not be available. If I cannot achieve this, however, I am more than willing to let you voice as any character, provided you've got the stuff! There are some voices I DON'T want from the original, also (Applejack's comes to mind...). Don't be afraid to audition just cause you think a voice is taken though! I am open to new possibilities!

If you want to write music, I only will need a few original compositions. I imagine having Sonata as the defense attorney for a large portion of this story, so she will need her own theme during the "cross-examination" phases of the story. Ideally, the music should sound characteristic of the Phoenix Wright games, but I leave creative freedom beyond that to the musicians. This is something that could be started right now, actually! Of course, there need to be a few themes, where some build suspense with a faster tempo and whatnot. Just have fun with it, and I will select my favorites.

 

If you want to draw for this project, I will need some original characters and backgrounds. The new characters will all be ponies (as far as I am aware...), so once I decide on what new characters will be needed, I can let you all have fun with it. Eventually, these characters will need "sprites" for the animator to use. Background need to be characteristic of MLP's style. Additionally, "evidence" will need to be drawn, but this is a small order. Also, being able to slightly alter preexisting sprites may come in handy. 

If you want to animate it, I need to see what you can do beforehand. I haven't animated anything before, but I imagine that the style of animation in Turnabout Storm is probably less difficult that other styles. In any case, if you could create a little snippet showcasing your talent as an animator, I can judge what will look good, and what won't. The main focus is quality, though animation style is a prevalent factor as well. 

And FINALLY, I love the show, but there are plenty of references and jokes out there that would make people laugh that I simply just don't know. I will not try to force anything into my story, as that would be distracting, but feel free to suggest a popular fanfic, animation, or related material about either MLP or Phoenix Wright, and I will give it consideration. This is not necessarily a definite project. I am just seeing if such a project is feasible. IF I get enough volunteers, I will take the next step into making this project a reality!

I don't think this is a good idea...

 

You're making a sort of sequel to someone's already-existing property.

Do you have permission, firstly?

Yes. Everyone has permission.

"If YOU'D like to make a sequel, go right ahead! These aren't my characters and you have full permission to use the OCs created for it. In fact, link me to it, I'll probably enjoy reading/watching it."

Ah, good on ya then.

 

I can't help unfortunately.

My art skills are limited to a traditional format. I can maybe sketch some character designs for you though, if you'd like.

 

How about...an ambassador from the Griffon kingdom comes to visit Equestria for a formal diplomatic visit, but a priceless heirloom is stolen from his group at night while he's sleeping.

He's convinced that Celestia and her government had something to do with it and l threatens sanctions and even full-scale war if its not returned.

I'd watch the sh*t out of that.

 

Hope you get this off the ground, I would love to see more Turnabout.

I don't mean to neglect your idea (which holds promise), but I already have a rough idea on how the story will go...

Also, If you couldn't tell by my OC with the poorly drawn right eye, I have no experience in computer art either. XD But I could always use some character designs. I have yet to compile a complete list of characters, but there definitely will be pegasi racers nurses. Doctor(s)/nurse(s) are possible as well. 

In any case, if you know of any popular works of the fandom, I may sneak a related reference into my work...or I might not. Either way, I would probably enjoy the suggestions. You know, this could all be a rouse just to get people to send me popular Brony works so that I don't have to look for them! (O.O)

Just give me a list of characters (and how they look like in your head) and I'll draw them out for you.

I'll throw in some doctors and nurses, as well as any other designs you might need.

Keep in mind though, that I'm basically only of use to you as a glorified concept artist.

It will probably be some time before I figure out what exactly I want the characters too look like. I will first build a base personality for the characters, as well as their role in the story. I imagine their appearances should follow naturally afterwards. I wouldn't worry about it too much now though. At this time, I have not defined the appearances yet, and really I am not ready to assign tasks to people until I know how much manpower I have to work with. 

[Dattebayo 2,850]

Got it.

 

Well, message me here or on dA whenever you need me. IF you need me.

I hope this takes off...

Here's some of my voices if this is still going on!
