** brevex has joined
<brevex>yo!
** cybercatmia has joined
<KanuTGL>Hello C:
** title changed by brevex *
<brevex>how goes all?
<Eshva>Pretty good
<ThunderStruck-Fox>Hi =)
<DarthCraftus>Hello!
<Mhawley1>Hi
<cybercatmia>hi everyone ^^
<Eshva>Hello
<KanuTGL>Not too bad. Had an awful scare today when my boyfriend's computer (that I use a lot while he's at work) looked like it had been infested with a massive virus x_x
<brevex>hokay just waiting on one or two people, I have to go at 8:30 so this wont be too long
<brevex>KanuTGL: man that happened to me awhile ago I thought I had lost everything 0_0
<AragornofRedwall>Hey Brev?
<brevex>Eshva: glad you could make it btw ^^
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: heya :)
<KanuTGL>Luckily I found websites with solutions on how to get rid of it using my laptop, but I was certain I had killed his computer for a while D=
<AragornofRedwall>I'm gonna have to run at 2:00 EST.
<Eshva>Yeah sorry I guess I spoke too soon the other day ^^;
ThunderStruck-Fox>meepage o.0 well good thing it got fixed, then!
<brevex>Eshva: never too soon (I prefer to be warned) I hate pitching and nobody is there at all. I am lenient if you warn me ;)
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: is that 8:00 my time or...?
<AragornofRedwall>It's an hour and a half from now.
<KanuTGL>Still in the process of scanning the computer to completely remove it, but it should hopefully not be much trouble.. Thank goodness for Google
<Eshva>Brev: Haha thanks.
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: no worries I need to go in an hour so it's all good
<AragornofRedwall>All the Storyboarders are here, except for Kobb, BTW.
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: yup, duly noted. I need her to be here though as I do have some things I need to know from her however I will start sending the updates now drop them emails folks!
<Eshva>raphcrow at gmail
<AragornofRedwall>KanuTGL: Try Malwarebytes. It's a good (free) anti-virus program. :)
<AragornofRedwall>Brev: Do you need my e-mail?
<Eshva>KanuTGL: Yeah, but I've have Malwarebytes pass over viruses before. Get as many programs as you can
<FelldohTheSquirrel>Just checking in.
<KanuTGL>Mm, Malwarebytes is the one I'm scanning with now
<KanuTGL>It's strange that the malware even got into the computer though. That comp has a very powerful anti-virus oO
<AragornofRedwall>KanuTGL: There's also Microsoft Security Essentials.
<Eshva>best virus scan site: [link]
<Eshva>scans any file with tons of programs
<AragornofRedwall>Wow.
<brevex>EMAILS PLZ script updates incoming (yeah AragornofRedwall you can too, you may as well see the script)
<AragornofRedwall>Brev: ejstarjr@btes.tv
<cybercatmia>cybercatmia@googlemail.com
<KanuTGL>teensimba@hotmail.com
<KanuTGL>Right, scan done, rebooting.. Let's see if that did the trick *fingers crossed*
<Eshva>raphcrow at gmail dot com
<ThunderStruck-Fox>oop, not sure if ye want/need mine yet but its naminals@googlemail.com
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: unfortunately not, we're trying not to leak the script to those outside of the team that needs to see them (don't want to spoil anything)
<ThunderStruck-Fox>fair enough ^^
<Mhawley1>hawleym@sunyit.edu ( it is a campus email but its the most reliable) and i dont expect spam from here
<KanuTGL>Computer -looks- alright.. which is a vast improvement xP Let's hope the thing is gone..
<KanuTGL>Right, now that that's off my mind I shall stop being off-topic xD
<brevex>just sending the script updates brb
<Eshva>got it
<brevex>Hokaaay I think that is all, everyone sorted?
<KanuTGL>Got it :3
<AragornofRedwall>I haven't received it.
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: I'll resend...
<brevex>sent
<AragornofRedwall>Got it. :)
<DarthCraftus>Sorry, I got distracted. Are we talking about music or storyboards right now?
<brevex>Okay everyone now that we're up to date let us begin :)
<brevex>DarthCraftus: yep
<DarthCraftus>Gotcha!
<DarthCraftus>Ok.
<Mhawley1>i guess i should introduce my self here since im the new guy. Im a hobby cartoonist and am here to see how this team functions and hopefully provide aid. Havent done much animation but but i can draw and illustrate.
<DarthCraftus>Welcome aboard!
<brevex>Well to begin I'd just like to congratulate everyone on their work so far, we've come a long way with the storyboards and I am extremely pleased with the work that is coming from this wing of the production. So high fives and pats on the back all round!
<Mhawley1>DarthCraftus: thanx , hope to learn much here
<Eshva>Hey there ^^ Love your icon btw
<AragornofRedwall>Glad to have you, Mhawley! :)
<KanuTGL>Yes, welcome! :)
<brevex>Mhawley1: ah yes you're the new recruit in the battle for film excellence glad you made it :)
<brevex>okay so I will fill you in towards the end
<ThunderStruck-Fox>I'm in the same boat as Mhawley, another newbie; I'm an art student, and am super excited to lend a hand wherever I'm needed; this looks so fantastic!
<Mhawley1>brevex: thanx for the opportunity , i am verry excited to be here.
<ThunderStruck-Fox>agreed!
<Mhawley1>ThunderStruck-Fox: whew i feel better now , hi by the way
<AragornofRedwall>Welcome to you as well, ThunderStruck!
<KanuTGL>Oh, another newcomer :D Welcome to you too, ThunderStruck-Fox!
<Eshva>Hey there Thunder
<cybercatmia>Welcome to both of you :D
<ThunderStruck-Fox>Hey everyone ^_^ thanks for the welcome, looking forward to working with you guys if you need me!
<brevex>Ah yes I remember you too, sorry both of you I have alot I deal with so it takes me awhile to put a name to a fa- ermmm avatar xb
<Mhawley1>cybercatmia: thank you
<brevex>so first order of business: work work work
<brevex>we've let ourselves get abit too proud and have slacked off abit from the awesome work that is being created. We need to start from today and come back with fury for next month's meet....
<brevex>I expect to see at least 1 of the assigned sections that you have selected from the script to be done by then (I know it is asking alot but I think we can do it and I'll be there suffering alongside you all ;))
<Eshva>Question :)
<KanuTGL>So we -are- continuing the storyboard now? Last time it sounded like Storyboard was taking a break =P
<brevex>Eshva: fire away
<Eshva>Exactly what Kanu said ^^
<cybercatmia>I asked this the other day as well XD
<DarthCraftus>^^
<brevex>I've been thinking about it and overall we aren't -really- gaining anything by waiting for Hethrin to complete the script, it may mean that we lose abit of what we have done or it needs to be changed slightly but overall I'd rather have too much than too little.
<brevex>Better to cut down than try to fill in areas that don't make sense
<brevex>if that sounds good we can continue?
<brevex>any questions or such ask now
<DarthCraftus>Sounds good to me
<KanuTGL>Sounds good to me too
<brevex>alrighty so you each have a month to have your next section up, I'd just like to quickly make sure we're working on the same sizes for the storyboards from now on would you all mind showing me what size you are using as I'd preferably like them to be some deviation of the 1280x720 res of 16:9
<brevex>that way I don't have to resize things or have them facet when I put them into toonboom/AE/flash
<KanuTGL>1280x720 per drawing?
<brevex>If you use that board then it should be fine :)
<Mhawley1>oh ok im testing the size now , its different but workable
<AragornofRedwall>Sorry about that....
<brevex>SCRAP THAT
<brevex>sorry wrong board *looks for link*
<brevex>Ah nevermind a template as long as they are either 1280x720 for each panel OR 640x360 it will be fine
<brevex>just make the canvas size that in PS
<KanuTGL>Okay, got it :)
<brevex>as for music nijibug I will be sending you the script now to look over as well if you could provide me with your email now?
** Eshva has joined
<Eshva>Sorry about that! My computer is being mean to me
<Eshva>Did I miss anything
<brevex>Ah nevermind a template as long as they are either 1280x720 for each panel OR 640x360 it will be fine
<nijibug>sorry internet troubles
<brevex>just make the canvas size that in PS Eshva
<brevex>forget the templates
<nijibug>was failpwned on at any point?
<brevex>nijibug: nope but he did excuse himself
<brevex>nijibug: if you could forward the script to him that'd be great :)
<nijibug>sounds good
<nijibug>u have my email?
<brevex>nijibug: you will also need to tell him to download this to read the script...
<nijibug>oh right
<nijibug>planetmossflower@gmail.com
<brevex>nijibug: I may but can you put it up here as I'm not sure what it is...
<brevex>storyboarders you're dismissed, so to reitterate; 1. do one of your assigned parts for next month (post work as you go) and 2. make sure the work is in either 1280x720 or half the size i.e 640x320
<brevex>Mhawley1: stay online
<Eshva>When is the whole work due
<Eshva>...If there is a deadline
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: also stay online
<Mhawley1>brevex: i was just going to ask that , ill stay
<ThunderStruck-Fox>okie doke
<brevex>Eshva: I'm going to re-access the project tomorrow but it may be easier to take it one step at a time
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox and Mhawley1 drop your emails please</b.
<ThunderStruck-Fox>naminals@gmail.com

<brevex>nijibug, ThunderStruck-Fox, Mhawley1 please download this to read the script files I have just sent you...
<brevex>[link]
<ThunderStruck-Fox>ooh celtx? is that available for mac?
<ThunderStruck-Fox>if not I'll fire up my old laptop with it on
<Mhawley1>done although i am new to this way of info retrieval
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: I think so
<ThunderStruck-Fox>fantastic, I'll pop that on now
<DarthCraftus>I think I'll take my leave now.
<DarthCraftus>Bye everyone!
<AragornofRedwall>:wave:
<ThunderStruck-Fox>bye!
<brevex>sorry gonna have to rush this but nijibug for now you have no work however as you have been doing communicate frequently with failpwned and look over the script to start getting ideas be it riffs, lyrics ANYTHING and post it to me kay?
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: wait
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: oh mah bad thought you were going xD
<nijibug>gotcha
<ThunderStruck-Fox>haha sorry, you're not rid of me yet ;)
<brevex>Mhawley1 and ThunderStruck-Fox as your first assignment you will be auditioning, if I feel you have done a good enough job by next month you will then be accepted to join the team...
<AragornofRedwall>Does that means their names will be on the list of Storyboarders?
<Mhawley1>brevex: i understand
<ThunderStruck-Fox>same
<Mhawley1>brevex: i downloaded the file however i do not know how to open it ? the info site did not help . is this a certian program file?
<brevex>so you can pick any bit of the script you like except the following which has been assigned: Eshva 2, 3: 0% Kobb 8, 9: 5% Brevex 10, 11: 0% Cybercatmia 21, 24: 0% KanuTGL 15, 25: 0% (the numbers you see there represent the ones you will see in the program which are parts of a scene or the scene itself; you'll know it when you open the script)
<nijibug>I'm glad that program has a 64bit linux version :D
<brevex>Mhawley1: the program I told you to download will open it
<AragornofRedwall>Brev:
<brevex>so your audition tasks are to do one part of the script that has not been chosen by the other storyboarders there and do it for next meeting
<brevex>ANY questions please feel free to ask
<AragornofRedwall>I've added their names to the list of Storyboarders, with the word "auditioning" next to their names.
<Mhawley1>brevex: ok thank you for yout time on this , and i will note you if there are questions
<brevex>if you can open them now I can explain the numbers (you must pick 2 scenes to storyboard)
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: coolio :)
<ThunderStruck-Fox>okay, opened it =)
<ThunderStruck-Fox>so I assume the above numbers correspond to the scene no's
<AragornofRedwall>And the percentages of each scene that have been completed. :)
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: if you look at the bottom left you will see the scene... yes that is correct (so choose any two of those, you may want to read through the script so far to find 2 parts you like)
<brevex>NOTE: you must pick 2 but only 1 is for next meeting
<brevex>you'll find some are RATHER large xD
<brevex>most of us picked 1 biggun and a smaller one
<brevex>Mhawley1: are you with us still?
<AragornofRedwall>Brev? One question....
<Mhawley1>brevex: yes i am , download is slow but im getting there
<ThunderStruck-Fox>haha okay, I'll bear that in mind. Can we draw these digitally or would you prefer it all to be traditionally drawn?
<AragornofRedwall>Should I send Kobb a strike notification?
brevex>oh and all of you add me on your respective instant messengers on raccoon777@live.com that way you can ask me questions if you have any
<nijibug>having a little trouble installing celtx to ubuntu... going to the celtx wiki... should be able to find solution in a moment
<nijibug>my im is nijibug@live.com
** Kobb has joined
<AragornofRedwall>Kobb!
<AragornofRedwall>:O
<AragornofRedwall>:faint:
<Mhawley1>brevex: there we go finally
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: whatever works for you (look over how the others have done theirs and try and match it) you must however indicate the following in yours depth of field and try (by either using tones to show things being closer or further away) OR you can use blurs
<brevex>Mhawley1: fire it up quick and let me know if you follow
<Kobb>Ugh, I biffed the timing, didn't I? XP
<Mhawley1>reading now ..
<AragornofRedwall>Kobb: Kinda.....
<AragornofRedwall>But you're still in the clear. ;)
<ThunderStruck-Fox>okie doke, I'll probably draw digitally and use colour/blur for DOF. Am I free to use my own style or do you want me to follow the other boarders' styles as best I can?
<brevex>both of you need to note me today of 4 scenes you wold like to do (incase the other likes one you do and I have to assign you another 2)
<Mhawley1>brevex: ok
<Kobb>Coulda sworn it was later :doh:
<brevex>Kobb: can I chat to you in about an hour and a half on MSN? just to catch you up and ask you some things
<brevex>Kobb: sorry gonna be going out soon for supper, and no worries
<Kobb>Can do. Really sorry, guys :T
<AragornofRedwall>So I should cancel that strike notice?
<Mhawley1>brevex: i will choose the scenes some time today , but this will take time to read everything
<brevex>Mhawley1 and ThunderStruck-Fox just tell me what you think you need to do so far?
<brevex>AragornofRedwall: yeah I'm not looking to give people strikes, just the redtape for getting things done
<AragornofRedwall>I never sent it. ;)
<ThunderStruck-Fox>I'm looking through the script now; everything looks great and I'll pop my choices for scenes to you in a bit, just need to look over a few more scenes.
<ThunderStruck-Fox>style-wise, am I free to just go for it or do you want me to try and keep closer to a set style?<brevex>Kobb: the main thing I'd like until I chat later is for you to finish 1 of your 2 assigned scenes for next meeting and to do the storyboards at 1280x720 size OR 640x320
<brevex>just to make my life in AE/toonboom/flash easier
<brevex>ThunderStruck-Fox: yeah for now do as you please, we will get to unifying style later
<Mhawley1>brevex: well i need to choose the scenes , 4 of them and creat visual pannels for the scenes including the dialogue , I believe a single scene will take up more than one page unless i condense the dialogue, ( this is my interpretation )
<brevex>I need to go all, feel free to add me on MSN I will be on in an hour and a half when I get back
<brevex>new comers you need to pick 4 scenes (highlight your favoured 2 scenes that you want and do one of them)
<Mhawley1>brevex: i will have qustions for you later , but right now i have to take my time reading these , you will have my decision today
<ThunderStruck-Fox>okay, that's all fine. I'll note you later and add you to my im systems
<Mhawley1>brevex: thanx for this opportunity
<brevex>cheers all! chat later
<AragornofRedwall>See you Brev! :wave:
<ThunderStruck-Fox>take care and thanks!
