Curse you Mr. Green! What’s sad is that they probably think they’re so clever for animating toys. Ignorance is bliss.

I agree with Bluntman that a sitcom is near-impossible to achieve as of right now. Even if it could be done, I seriously doubt it would be quality work (no offense, just my observation on these sorts of projects). However, a miniseries is much more manageable and a better idea. It will still be really hard to do, but I’m guessing it would be something like the old Director’s Project, or what I originally thought the Community Project would be.

I doubt I will be able to participate (though I can help with some digital stuff, like maybe help create the opening), but I’ll stick around and give any input I may have.

Actually, the new ‘series of movies’ i’m planning to create (http://www.brickfilms.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3685) (sorry for that, just dunno how to make a serious link) would look like some sort of sitcommy thing. Maybe it doesn’t belong here .. but could anybody help me write scripts and stuff ?
I’m not that funny. Well, atleast my movies aren’t …

okay, thanx

I’m testing an episode right now, but don’t really know what story I could use. But it is fun.

hmm, Several a problems with this grand idea yes. But how about this, instead of taking turns by episode we take turns be season, and instead on releasing them on a weakly basis we could go by months or several weeks. But the animators would have to be very devoted to make a whole season. We could also go by quarter seasons or half seasons…. iunno, just a suggestion.

This is a good idea. I’ve never helped with a CP before, but this one sounds fun. (Especially if I don’t have to do voice acting!) I’m getting better at animating, and I could make examples of what I can do. I’m weak in the thinking-of-a-funny-idea department, but once I’ve got a script I can animate it well. Then you guys can edit what I make, and I won’t have to worry about having 500mb left on my hard drive!

I read all the ideas suggested, and I think the best plan is the mini series – either with a director doing a different episode – or with each director being assigned a different set. If the sets where simple enough we could find common ground – and if the same people edit the episodes every time then there’ll be even more continuity. PM me if you need an animator and I’ll see what I can do! I’m assuming if we do this it’ll take a lot of prep work – I’m fine with that. I’d like to help plan things, too.

Also, if the mini series was a success, what’s keeping us from making another?

I think a mini-series produced by the brickfilms.com community would be a great showpiece to show anyone who’s interested in animating – it’s also a great way to find out who’s really serious about animating and getting involved. *hint* *hint*

Of course this is a fine idea but as some fellow brickfilmers pointed out, there are drawbacks to making a sitcom (Time, devotion, energy, etc.).

Instead of one person doing a sitcom every week, why not a group of people make a sitcom. That way there is not a lot of pressure on just one person.
One thing about a group of people making a sitcom is that they all have to have the same minifigs, props, etc.
This would take a lot of work and a lot of group effort.

I just wanted to see what all of you thought of this idea.

It also talked about a talk show. I think that talk show would be cool. It could probably only be two or three people, though. (I think)

Now there is a bump and a half… I make it three years.
