Animation Test


I finally got to see the animation test for the new movie last week -- wow.

 

For whatever my opinion is worth, it blows away any character animation ever done for BIONICLE and speaks to a lot of things BZPers have said they wanted in a new movie. If the whole movie can look like that, we are going to have quite a film.

 

The latest news I have heard is that a lot of concept art is done, voice recording should be done soon, and the studio is straining at the leash to get started on the script for the 2010 movie.

It has to be good if you said it's good. I'm not sure, but is there a specifi date it's coming out?

Wonderful. ^_^ Can't wait to see it.

 

Also, wow, they want the 2010 scripts already? That seems a little early. :mellow:

Sounds cool GregF! You just made me more excited to see the movie...

 

So, when it comes out next year, is Lego going to be running more advertisements for it to boost sales?

Well, that sounds nice. I'm looking forward to convincing myself of that movie's quality *still more than a year :(*

Guess your name will appear in the credits this time, Greg, since you contributed to the film, right?

Shadowbolt -- Actually, Universal will be doing the marketing for the movie, rather than us.

 

Nuhrii -- I believe I am getting a "Story By" credit this time around.

Those are great news Greg. I'm really looking forward for the movie. I'm wondering if the characters will look more like the sets or more like the former mvoies characters...

Can you tell us of some general things they're planning for marketing if you are allowed to say so and if you know of any?

It hasn't been decided yet. There's a meeting in London in August to discuss this.

 

Greg's right, the animation is, as the marketing lead would say, "delicious" (I love hearing her use that word in a meeting). I'm looking forward to seeing more. Let's see how they do with the real deal. The concept sketches look nifty, too, although I haven't read the "final" script yet (bad Binky, there was a quiz today on it and I had to slink out of the meeting early).

 

BTW, I'd like to publicly thank Greg for working his patootie off for us Marketing peeps lately. We've been pestering him and pestering him, and as usual, he comes through.

 

I also saw some other test animations today, for things you'll see earlier than next year, and I think you'll all be suitably impressed.

Can you tell us if there will be any famous people doing voice acting? Or do you not know?

I'd kill for Chuck Norris to be the voice of Mata Nui.

Nice. Hope it's all it's all everyone thinks it will be.

 

Could you describe how the characters were styled, though, or is that confidential? If that's too much, would you say the characters are more awesome in stylization than the ones in previous films, or about the same? Even so, it seems like it'd make up for anything wrong model wise if the movie is as neat as you say it is.

 

Anyway, sounds neat.

Thank you so much Greg.As a training animator, I'm very glad to hear about the part of the movie I am looking forward to see the most.Is there anything else you can share with us?Like were you watching a fighting scene?Was the styles of the characters different in terms of colour palette,metalic look etc?Was the background designed the same?.......anything.

Sounds cool. Do you know who any of the voice actors/actresses are? Or are not you going to tell us?

 

Anyway, sounds great. Can't wait for 2009 :) .

Blows...away?

 

*gasps, eyes wide*

 

I LOVED the animation in the first three- so if this is better, there is hope for 2009 and beyond! And if it was just a test...gasp!

 

-Sorek, the excited fan

Awesome! The only thing I ask is for no corny voice actors and a less chiched plot-line. *begs* Can't...breath... *dies begging*
