Live Action OotS Discussion (Cut from Kickstarter thread)

[Chess435]

Went for the $67 print-only special. And I'm predicting that we'll hit at least $500,000 by the end of the month. (I may upgrade to the $222 complete story special, if circumstances are willing).

Next reward: live action short! Or special OotS dice or chess pieces. Chess-piece Roy would be awesome.

Live action? OOTS? :smallconfused:

No. Just no.

Live action? OOTS? :smallconfused:

No. Just no.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Even just animated OOTS would suck. Live action would be an abomination.

No. Just no.

Samuel L. Jackson as Roy!
Owen Wilson as Elan!
Alyson Hannigan or Felicia Day as Haley!
Peter Dinklage as Belkar!

Still no. :smallyuk:

Animated sucking on the other hand I'm not so sure of. It would all depend on how it was written (since individual strips wouldn't translate very well).

I don't know, if it could be done well, it might be worth it. However, that would require a lot more than Hollywood has recently convinced me it is capable of. So, most likely, your statement is correct.

It'd all come down to the voice acting for me. There's that old statistic that, what, less than 20% of communication is verbal?

If they couldn't get the body language and more importantly the voice and tone perfect for every character, then whatever was produced would be a train wreck. Worse, I have a perception of what every character sounds and acts like in my head and it's probably different for me than it is for Rich and for everyone here in the forums.

This is a bad idea.

I actually saw a fan-made animation of the battle at Azure City a while back. I was actually really impressed, despite all the obvious flaws it had.

Which only means that if Mr. Burlew had the time and (more importantly) funds to create an animated OotS film, it would be AMAZING. (especially since the only options are "he has full control, or it doesn't happen.")

I also apologize deeply if this comment accidentally compels people to go "Quick! Send him money to do this!" I really don't think he'd appreciate that, ESPECIALLY not right now.

Body language would be fairly easy. Rich's provided over 832 strips of reference material on how important characters act. In animation, body language is the realm of the artists and is integral to how a scene is written.

I agree that voice casting would be very important.

Yeah, this would be something that could never happen until the comic had run its course. I doubt it would happen even then, but we can dream can't we?

Sheriff: These posts were moved from the Kickstarter thread for being off-topic and heading down the road to discussing copyright infringing materials. Thread locked for pretty much pointing right to such an infringing work. Whether it's good or bad, or made with love or not, let's not discuss and share things that make improper use of Rich's art.
