and if you already have the supplies on hand then you can do it.
Yeah, that stupid youtube video in your sig was a piece of windows movie maker trash. You don't have the supplies.
Quote:
If the people that work on it "volunteer" to do it, there's no money involved.
Pffft, you really don't get it do you?
Quote:
other than buying paper in bulk, which isn't that much.

Quote:
Ugh the anime will follow the actual game story to a T.
Wow, an anime about a guy who solves puzzles in temples while wearing a dress and running around with fairies! Sounds great!
Quote:
So there's no real need for a script.
Animes have a lot of script. Zelda... the entire game (including npcs) might have enough for a couple episodes.

This is one of those things for fun,
Work, lots of time and effort

Which is what I meant in the first place.
First post says revenge...

If you're not interested then fine just ignore it,
No
Quote:
I only need people who actually WANT to do it.
You need imaginary people.
Quote:
I don't care how long it takes,
20 years and one episode is finished!
Quote:
I just want to get back at IGN...geese,
Revenge or fun, which is it???
Quote:
what's wrong with doing a show for FUN?
Make up your mind!
Quote:
The only real equipment you need is paper, pencles and a scanner.
Your kidding right? You want to do this frame by frame? let's say you do 15 frames per second. Not a bad frame rate (not really good either). Thats 15 sketches for 1 second * 60 seconds per minute * 10 minutes per episode * a lot of episodes=A hell of a lot of frames
Quote:
Then all the other stuf can done with just a mic on the computer.
Crappy quality 101!
Quote:
Sense most anime artists already have the paper and drawing equipment the only thing we need is a skilled computer user.
Since not sense theres a big difference.

You're incredibly dense you know that?

Quote:
Here's how it (would) work if we did do it.
Make one ten minute episode.
That's 9000 frames.
Quote:
Take about two or three months off to restock exct.
repeat til the end credits of the "game".
We're talking a game with a lot of game play time.
Even at its bear bones we have 30 some hours. 30 hours=1800 minutes=108000 seconds=1620000 frames
Then take into account the side sections, the filler episodes, the character development episodes, the crazy long fight scenes, so we'll just multiply this all out by 3... and we get 4.86 million frames. Then you have to hope all the frames turn out right, so multiply that by 2 (being nice here) and we get 9.72 million frames all hand drawn. Then they have to sync with the voices. So we have nearly 10 million frames worth at a low quality frame rate with no real forethought, a director who has done no research, no mention of music, and over all it's an idea that blew up before it could be half baked.

TP is one of the only zelda stories that are "long" enough for an anime, especially if you count a little dungeon action in-between. The fact that it'll be ridiculed shouldn't bother you, there were plenty of people who aggreed with there being a Zelda movie. Not like one billion or something, but those few are who we'd be doing the show for.
If you want a Zelda story worth making into an anime/movie/anything really, try OoT, MM, or ALttP, not TP with its absolute cheeziness.

Here's what I get from this thread:
You: I make anime!
Anyone with logic:
