Max_Nui Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) HELP WANTED: Calling all animators, voice actors, artists and more to play a part in a very special creation, The Mangai Project! After three years of brainstorming, designing, building, and writing, I am excited to announce the launch of a new Bionicle community project starring the Toa Mangai! The show will follow Toa Lhikan and his team, the Mangai, as they witness and take part in the fall of Metru Nui. The groundwork for this show has already been laid, from world building to scripts to character designs, and I am very proud of all that we have been able to accomplish on the project so far. However, I have reached a point in development where the project is ready to be shared to allow for the best production quality possible. This is where you come in. If you or anyone you know is interested in acting, animation, art, film, production, or publicity please follow the link to the discord below to learn where you can fit into the project! If you feel you are unable to help with production, please spread the word about #TheMangaiProject – it would mean so much to me. Again, the foundation for this show is already established, and our goal is to have a pilot released within the next six months. Working on this project will be a fantastic opportunity to take your skills to a new level, as well as providing opportunities to meet with other creators in the Bionicle community. I am excited to see this project grow, and I look forward to seeing you on the discord.

Max_Nui Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Our animation team is finishing up concept work now. At this point in time, we're playing things pretty close to the chest. At some point in the future, we intend to release project material—however we feel it would be more constructive to wait for a reveal until we have more of a finished project. The invite link has been repaired. Discord only logs invite links for a certain period of days before resetting. If anyone else tries the link and it's broken, please PM me here or on my instagram and I'll send you an updated one. Hope that helps! -Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorentz Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) You don't do an open call if you have nothing to show. You claim to have three years of brainstorming, designing, building, and writing. Where is it? It's going to be very hard to recruit serious people without any concept material.

That Matoran with a Vahi Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Can I ask what sort of animation you're using? Is it going to be a traditionally-drawn sort of thing, or CGI? ^^ Quote "New legends awake, but old lessons must be remembered. For that is the way of the BIONICLE."

Tattorack Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm wondering about this question myself. Quote -I was infected for the most part on April the 1st BEWARE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hope is 2D animation, since good 2D doesn't age, unlike 3D which only looks good for a decade at most.

Tattorack Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Also entirely depends on the style used. I highly doubt that Into the Spiderverse is going to look old for a very long time.

We do have a number of animators working on the project. Always looking for more, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelford Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I wouldn't mind being kept posted on this, I've always felt strongly that a 2D animated episodic series is one of the most viable mediums for a retelling, the link is broken but if there was a new one I would like to pop in.
