I mentioned something a month or so ago about what it would cost to get a license to star wars figures so we could show Sideshow how things should be done.
We don't need a licence! We could sell unfinished custom pieces that need to be worked into a little to become things from Starwars, so technically we'd be selling "Sun Battles" figures who just happen to resemble some Star Wars characters, and we could provide the means for customizing them fully into Star Wars figures, but they wouldn't exactly
be Star Wars. They'd be from "Sun Battles"
Another thing I thought of was, if we ever got together, each person could bring everything they have in 1/6 along with their cameras and laptops and tripods and stuff, and we could make the best stop-motion movie ever! If
everyone from SSF got together, we could serparate into 3 or 4 groups that would all be taking pics at the same time in different places... if we planned to do 15 frames per second, and each group could shoot 100 pictures a day, times 4 groups is 400 pictures per day, which is about 28 seconds... so we could do a fifteen minute film in about... 30 days... but if we all took a
year off work (12 months), then we could get about 165 minutes done (that's budgeting in 1 month lost to taking breaks and weekends off and falling behind), which is 2 hours, 45 minutes... if we could get the rights to show it in theaters, we could raise a lot of money for the sequel...
wow I got a little carried away there... oh well, we can all dream, can't we
but you know... we could do that without getting together physically... by shooting pics of the figures on green paper backgrounds, then I could composite them into a pic of a dio... we could make it work!
still, it would be difficult... but we could work on it for less at a time over a longer period without having to take work off by doing it all in our spare time, and we wouldn't be restricted by when other people were available, you could do it whenever, really...
*sighs*
... oops! Carried away again! (Unless anyone is interested in trying this
)
I think this is the longest post I've ever written...
