[gobo]

Never considered audio-only... I might could do that.

Linking narration is a neccisity, but as for reading out other fan opinions, absolutley not, noone knows who they are and that sort of thing is more appropriate for reading ot the opinions of professional critics. Besides, it's more trusting for the viewer to hear or see fans talk about their own stuff themselves.

Sign me up! I can help by sending in some video of my musings and also of my pretty extensive TMNT collection. I've got some friends who I'm sure would say a word or two (& one of them has some fan art), plus I always love to show off my collection!

This could take awhile, like 2-3 months even because right now I'm actually packing all my stuff up for moving, but since you say you're not worried about a deadline, I'm guessing that's ok?

I don't like deadlines, takes a little freedom from everybody.

-->> ..anything from me too ..you want..

.. my only main issue with like the Fanatical stuff of the past several months..

..is they wasted my time.. sent me jumping thru' all these hoops and havin' me run anxiety trips all over the city trying to pull all these strings and favours for this 'ART SHOW' i was supposedly gonna somehow magically pull outta my arse.

.. my adreniline (sp) was pumpin' .. and i was freekin' out.. wasting precious energy and time i needed to work on art projects and and important fineart painting for a local AIDS charity ..one that ultimately was not able to complete in time..cuz i had a deadline for that. That had to be rescheduled and i had to make a recommitment to it.

Al that aside.. it was like they came in getting my hopes up that i was gonna be 'featured' cuz my story with Mirage was so 'personal' ..


then right as i was pulling everything together.. without prior warning WHAT SO EVER ..the people pulled the rug out from under me..

..they really helped screw alot of things up.. ((i do have to take some responsiblity for some of this.. but they were so positive and polite in the interviews.. but to the point where it there was no warning of any kind that things may not have gone thru' and the repricusions [sp] in case they did.. o well))..


.. wasn't so mad that i wasn't selected.. i was mostly hurt by how wrapped up in the wild goose chase they got me.

This seems less 'BULL SH8TTY' for lack of'a better way to put it..

.. and i trust you guys.. and T-drome n' you guys are very special to me so.. ya know whatever..

Z, .. i'd climb a mountain for ya so .. even if ya don't want my imput ,artwork ..whatever ..

or nothin' .. know you got my support.. i like your flow of thought here.. !!

Right, I think I have a good number so far to try something big out

Next week, I'm thinking we need a few promos put together, small teasers of your video/audio input put to whatever flash animation or artwork you guys are willing to offer. If some of you can make a good fifty-second presentation reel and upload it, we can attact more with a concrete product in development.

I won't be able to get anything to you in the immediate future. I need my sister's cam-corder (which she forgot to bring over last weekend) and she lives in London and won't be visiting for a few weeks.

Contacting Dan Berger right now about this, see if he can add some input

How's this going, Zarius? Have you had much contributions? Let me know if I can help with anything. May have something for you next week.

I would also like to know what is going on with this. I'm a huge Ninja Turtles fan, gratuated with a degree in communications, and I'm a inspiring writer for film so I believe I'd be a perfect candidate to give a hand with this. Any positions available?

Yeah, narrative writer, knock yourself out with a concept to work around the films, whenever we get them

I've been too busy to contact Berger. This will be remedied soon.

I would like to sign up for the recollections part as well as the toy collection part.

Not all of it will be "talking heads" either, heck we might even had some good montages, like flashes of scenes of the comics, then scenes from all of the series etc

I have been searching for some way to show my dedication to the whole tmnt franchise from the comic books to the cartoon, the toys, movies, and everything tmnt including everything tmnt from other countries not released in the U.S... i am a fan of all things tmnt no matter what ..even the new ff tmnt series which most fans dont like....but i like to think of myself as so big of a fan that if there was a tmnt movie or show ect... that everyone else thought sucked.. i would still like it no matter what, just because it's associated with tmnt ...so if theres any way i can participate in the documentary please let me know as i would make it a goal of mine to make sure this documentary is the best EVER! and i'm sure all of us here are all more than willing to support our turtles lol ..to make sure
this whole project is easily recognized and meets all of our expectations....so please contact me about this project at [email protected] as i would more than love to be a part of it!

[ZariusTwo]

I've never been a big fan of fans who love "everything TMNT", as objectivity goes right out the window. In this documentary's case, there best used with developing montages of the best of all movies and series.

Uhhhh ok? a documentary without diehard fans? thats gonna work!

You know, I gotta say, he's got a point.

It might be easier to set up somethign where people have topics to rant/ talk about, and you would then have to edit in the parts of the conversation that are useful, be it in that area, or an unexpected one. I'm not an expert, but even I've done a little sound remixing (though I have no experience linking it with video) Furthermore, you might try getting some less "fan oriented" opinions about specific works, yes, but from people whom are otherwise general turtles fans or experts. I could probably think of a decent amount to say on what went wrong with Next mutation, as I've got a bit of knowledge in the area of marketing and such. Its actually facinating how so many small things did damage there.

Anyway, I'm happy to help out. Just PM Me for what you need help in, I'll see what I can do. IN the meantime, I've got to find my audio recording stuff. I'll try to make something to send you, reguardless.

Pretty much will. The whole point of this documentary is to AVOID those kind of embarrasing fans who attach themselves too closely to virtually everything, and cant even acknowledge when something is at fault. That isnt being a "diehard", thats just being silly.

If you would actually pay attention to this forum (most of which barring some are the best kind of "diehard"), you'd know few and far between love ALL forms of the TMNT. We're a very flexable fanbase and we're not brainwashed or mesmerised into following everything just because it has TMNT slapped on it.

Exactly. I want rational fans saying rational things about all aspects of the franchise.

It'd be the same with Fast Forward, you can have one side note its positives, others note why other fans didnt like it even if it improved on itself and explain why, from appeal, to format. Every interpretation gets equal footing.

[turkishproverb]

Actually, IF you just give them a topic to talk about, even just how it affected their lives, and only focus on that, the diehards can be useful. The trick is to choose them carefully, and only use specific clips. It'd probably best to let anyone contribute, and then sift through it.

[Kendamu]

So, if I can get a video camera... are you still accepting clips?

Clips are what this is about.

oh yeah i know exactly what you mean ...i still have room to accept the flaws of alot of stuff that happens with tmnt i just choose to look the other way lol...but no seriously i can talk about the things wrong with tmnt just fine
i guess it really depends on what the subject is or who i am talking to for instance if i was talking to a hardcore fan i would probably try and relate and not say anything bad....but on the other hand if i was talking to someone that was somewhat a fan our conversation would be much different...and i am not one to get mad at someone for trash talking about tmnt ....everyone has there one thing right.....i guess i just didnt get a whole understanding of what you were looking for at first....for the documentary and may of come accross as a little too obsessed...i was just trying to express my interest....but anyways i hope all goes well and i will try and do my part if i can without coming accross too strong...
