Some context: I'm the guy who made the BIONICLE: What Really Happened videos that satirized G2 a couple years back. I said to those who were asking that I was probably never going to make another BIONICLE-related film, but now that (I've sort of) done that I figured I would share it with the community. This film is primarily live action, but one of the protagonists is a CCBS figure composited into that live action world. I've never seen this sort of hybrid attempted in a low-budget fan film before, so hopefully it works. I was careful not to market this project as a BIONICLE story since the character in question is very much a toy and the story is not set in universe, but I thought you guys might enjoy!

So I've recently started a new project involving Bionicle, as a sort of way to express my fandom. When I first into Bionicle about 10 years ago, I remember always wishing they had made films for each year, instead of only 2003-2005 and 2009. So, I have recently started my own non-official Bionicle 2001 film. I'm making it using animations and gameplay from the Mata Nui Online Game, cutscenes from the cancelled Bionicle game Legends of Mata Nui, 2001 commercials, the ending of the Game Boy Advance game Quest for the Toa, and some fan animations. I realize not all of this 100% canon - however, not all of the elements of the original 4 films were canon either. The point of the film is to tell the most complete version of the story of the 2001 story year as best it can - if that requires using some non-canon elements, so be it. But generally speaking, you should be able to watch it, and move on to the 2002 story year without missing a beat. There may be a project like this that exists already - even so, I was kind of hoping to take my own stab at the concept. I have run into a few problems, however, and I was wondering if you guys would be able to help out. 1. Does anyone know in which order each Toa awakened on the island of Mata Nui? 2. How much gameplay from the Mata Nui Online Game should I include? On the hand, including gameplay kind of disrupts the flow of the movie, and makes the whole thing almost seem like a game walkthrough. On the other, I DO want to tell the most complete 2001 story I can, and some of the animations from the game feel awkward and out of context without the gameplay. So I guess my 3 options would be: (A). No gameplay, (B). Only some gameplay, so no animation will feel out of context, and ©. Include as much gameplay as possible. Thanks! Your help is greatly appreciated. If I'm able to finish this one and it is well received, I may make more fro more story years. If not, then that's OK too.
