TMNT Radio Theater?

A group here did a motion comic that is amazing and very well done. It was very ambitious and at times looked like it may have hit and end. Yet here we are with a great video. Now that project was very grand in scope. It took a lot of some of the participants, now here I am to propose something along the lines but different at the same time.

I know this is dating my self a little but I remember my Dad sharing with me some of his childhood by listening to old radio shows he found on cassette tape. Many of car trips I listened to the Lone Ranger and The Shadow with him. This motion comic that this group did got me to thinking though, instead of motion comics why not a radio show version of TMNT.

We have scripts more or less. I mean think about it. There is volume 1 – 4, Tales of the TMNT, Archie, and IDW. All there and just waiting for someone to mine for ideas. My proposal is that we select the Archie comics that seem to be popular with a lot of us here and do a radio show with it.

Members here could audition for voices, some could do sound mixing, and others could do splash pages to be the picture in the video. If people wanted they could do multiple parts. As there wouldn’t be panels of the comics of course we would need a narrator who tells the story. So it would require some work.

People doing voices could record like five issues worth of lines at a time. Then we split it up amongst multiple people who want to do the sound editing. Then every other week, or every two weeks we release a new episode. It is a huge commitment I know. But I think the love of the franchise we have on this forum we can do this. What do you others think?
