The New ITM YouTube Video!

[Crane]

Our resident genius, Fishy, has suggested we make a new YouTube video. And I thought it'd be a good idea, and a fun project as well!

Well... yeah. Any ideas? Animation might be good, but it could take a while, and we'd have to get voice actors. Maybe.
A slideshow of characters - bit unoriginal, but we could still go for it.
Text... bleugh. Boring. Sorry, no.
What else could we do? Ideas and help is much appreciated
=^..^=

well...if someone has a cat that hunts and a video camera... and another person has a kitten who tries to hunt and a video camera... and another person has a little bitty kitten and a video camera, we could put the clips together.

Cat that hunts video-Text Slide: Warriors-hunt and fight for your clan.- Kitten/cat that tries to hunt- Text Slide: Apprentices-Warriors in training, the future of the clans. - Kitten playing video- Text slide: Kits- the next generation of the clans.

thats how I would do it, that way little animation is required.

I could ask Aroe if she can make some siggies and we could put those together. I like River's idea. Um, we could also.....

Have some music, press pictures together. Have the plot and itm2 label...and never mind. thats unoriginal. I REALLY like River's idea.

For River's idea I have an older cat I could videotape; although it might take some work getting her outside... But if we do go for something more like animation and pictures are needed I can easily do sketches for it, although I can't color to save my life XD

[Crane]

Yeah, real cats is a beautiful idea<3 I love it!

Problem is getting the videos. I don't have a cat...
*idea* If we have absolutely no other choice, my friend has a kitten and an older cat, but I think the kitten is an idiot and the older cat is lazy. But that's a very last option.

[it's FiSHY, scaredy-cat.]

xDDD Awesome brainstorming, guys! ;3

I like all of the ideas. I have a couple ideas myself, actually.


This is what I had in my mind ORIGINALLY:

Music is playing. An animated cat fades in from the black background.

The cat scents the air with a wary expression.
Text scrolls at the bottom screen, much like a roleplay post we'd type here on ITM except much, much, shorter. It would look something like:
"The air had a musty smell to it today. Redpaw scented his surroundings cautiously, well-knowing that something was wrong..."

Title screen: "Warriors: INTO the MIST III"

Next, the camera switches to a different cat's view. He is padding very quietly through the forest, looking power-hungry.
Text of different color scrolls along the bottom screen, looking something like:
"Marshclaw stalked the forest, the grounds so unfamiliar from him. But he didn't care. He was out for glory, tonight...for glory, tonight..."

Large text, centered: "Which side will you join?"

Then Marshclaw perks up, jumping on Redpaw.
"An enemy was near. Instinct hit. The warrior jerked his head and pounced on the unknown stranger. It didn't matter who; just his victory..."

Large text, centered: "Are you a cat of the clans, honorable..."

Redpaw yowls and scratches his underbelly, caterpaulting him off.
"The attack came by surprise, although the apprentice was prepared. He had been expecting this. Quickly, Redpaw searched his head for what his mentor had taught him...and thrust his paws up, claws sheathed, desperately trying to knock his opponent off..."

Large text, centered: "...or evil?

Marshclaw withdrawls and flees.
"Pain, pain, pain... Marshclaw strained to catch his breath. How dare he be wounded by a lousy ThunderClan apprentice! But not even one injury can pass for tonight. He needed to be in full health for this mission. Gasping, the tom took off to flee..."

Large text, centered: "Or are you a kittypet?"

A kittypet watches from the fence.
"Fluffy narrowed her eyes. What rambuctious fools. What kind of cat tumbles out in the wild like that? Oh well...The she-cat sighed, nothing more to do."

Large text, centered: "Fall in love..."

A pic of two cats cuddled beside each other.

Large text, centered: "Roam as a loner..."

A ragged loner crosses the street.

Large text, centered: "And/or earn the right to become a leader..."

Redpaw, now Redstar, climbs up to the high rock.
"The clan - his clan - was chanting his name: 'Redstar! Redstar! Redstar!' and his heart filled with joy..."

Very large text, centered: "Warriors: Into the Mist"
Subtitle: "a warrior cats text-based roleplay"
Large text, centered: "Come join us"


And then the URL will pop up...

...Yeah. Sorry for it being long ^^' Like I said, that was my original idea, but the ideas you guys are coming up with are great, too.

Plus, mine will probably take a while to make o.o I can still make animations, though

[FireFlyDragon]

And if needed I can still produce sketches or pics for said video, although I still can't color xD

[W.in.DY.]

I will certainly help with the video.

[it's FiSHY, scaredy-cat.]

We need to decide on a plan, though. ><'

[W.in.DY.]

-gasps- Hmm. Voice actors would work. Maybe if we used our characters and did the totally epic battle thingeh, then it'd totally work.

[it's FiSHY, scaredy-cat.]

Nah. No voice actors. I was thinking simply well-written text, as what we do during our roleplays. Besides, personal privacy is important, and if we do voice acting, we'll need quality sound.

[Crane]

Maybe instead of animation, we could have single, very detailed pictures. Like what they do at the episodes of Pokemon etc xD But I like Fishy's idea; showing off all our talents at once. I'm going to need some volunteering artists, as well. I can do a few things, I'm a semi-decent artist ^^

[W.in.DY.]

I'll try. I want to use my epic picture I made of Mountainpelt-san. On gimp. ^^

[Riversong]

hmmm...nice idea fishy. I s'pose we'll keep mine as the back up plan. I don't know about drawing, but if you need pictures to model your drawings after, I have a 7 month old grey cat. I could attempt to place him in the right poses.
Heck, I bet I could even catch a scene of him and Pixie fighting. Those 2 fight all the time, so it wouldn't be hard. If you don't need any of that, I'll put together the text.

[wolfwind]

welp. i like fishy's , but for rivers, i do have two kitties. lol.
