    Ok even though the poll is showing for the future I think we are really in agreement for the past.?? We will have a better chance of character development and through the use of foreshadowing we will capture the audience.?? We will definitely include Zuko, Katara, Sokka, Iroh, Ursa, Ozai, Azulon, Sozin, Aang's parents, Bumi, Kuzon, and the Monks.?? Everyone take a moment to reread my storyline so we can get a good idea of the basis.?? I am not saying that we have to use mine but we can modify it so that it is perfect.?? We should see about assigning out jobs.?? That way we do not have some much confusion.??
    So here is what we need:
    Writers:?? (I figure about 3 writers to come up with the story line and we should agree to have it as a blog so we are not fully relying on the forum.)
    Animators:?? (This should consist of about 3-5 people that have the Mya software for 3D animation.?? If we can't do the CGI then we should go to the 2D.)
    Sound technicians: (This is some people that have sound editing software.?? What I am thinking is that we can take key phrases from the current episodes to form the dialogue.?? We piece things together and then we could have a working movie.?? I know this sounds complex but I know it can be done because I do it now at home with some basic software.?? Not to mention that I can create my own programs to do the speech for me by formulating the all of the words.?? It would be choppie but it that can be managed so it flows too.)

    This would take a ton of work but we could actually do it and present it to Nick as a finished product.?? Not just an idea.?? With computers we can eliminate many things.


    I would like to be a writer. I'm very good at working out details in a story line.

    wow, I'm just reallising my spelling sucks! I didn't mean that, but it's a good idea, what I tried to say was... *opens www.wordreference.com*

    We shouldn't make a script starting with the beginning of the story, we should start with the end, nobody would understand, then we put the begginnig, so peopple would understand a little bit, then we continue with the end, until everything get's so confusing that the story is showed since the beggining, until the end, just since then we would be making a movie with a chronological order in the events??of the plot.

    Example: The Battle starts when evrybody in the gaang is fighting against Iroh, incluiding Zuko and Azula as allies, so people will think WTF is happening? Azula workibg with the gaang?, then we show Avatar Roku talking about to capture an spirit, then we show Iroh figting against Azula... and then her helping the Gaang against Iroh, then we show how the war against Ozai ended, and then how did it started... we continue with the finnal battle, and we see Aang fighting at the top of his abilities, then, Aang's origing and story with the air nomads... and then the water and fire sibling's childhood, then, in the final battle, we show the spirit coming out from Iroh's body... then we start a chronological?? order on the events about how started the war, how they captured the spirit, how the gaang and the fire sibling meet each other, and like that until the end of the movie.

    Shortly, the movie would be as a complicated puzzle that the public must join together, and by the end they'll understand everything. Just like that movie called the other, with Nicole Kidman, you didn't understood anything until you realice she and her family were dead, and that they were the ghosts

    I love that movie! It made you think alot...but most movies that are made are made out of order...I mean in production...but I guess we have to take another vote on this.

    What the person is trying to say is that we should do a movie where the audience has to think...you have to be able to put things together. But the problem with that is that the people will quickly loose interest because they don't get what is going on.
    Its a nice idea, but I don't think it will work well with the Avatar audience. I mean I like this idea, but maybe people won't like it.

    This is a neat idea.?? It is kind of Sixth Sense-ish.

    The only thing I am afraid of about doing something in the future is that we don't know what they are going to do with the show.?? They could kill off so many people that would invalidate our entire movie.

    So we go with the past and foreshadowing?

    The movie shouldn't star with aang's origins or with the beggining of the war or when the spirit was sealed (by the way, I think we shouldn't use Avatar Roku in here, we need an older one, like Kyoshi or even an older one).

    The moovie should start with a scene with one of the final fights, then, the movie should continue showing the public what happened to end like that. EXAMPLE:

    (This is the movie script order, how would look like in??the teathers,??not the order we should create it)

    1?? Iroh vs Gang and fire siblings (if you want to we could put some kyoshi warriors and freedom fighter)

    2?? (past) Ozai being defeated

    3?? (after Ozai's defeat) Iroh going mad with his power, and fighting against Azula.

    4?? Iroh vs Gang and fire siblings (if you want to we could put some kyoshi warriors and freedom fighter) (how continues the fight)

    5?? (past) How a spirit the public doesn't know anything about is sealed by Koh, and an Avatar

    6?? (after 5??) How started the war.

    7?? ( Iroh vs gang Fight continues) Aang's high air bending skills/level.

    8?? (past) Aang's origins and life at the air temple.

    9?? Like 7?? but with Water siblings

    10?? Just as 8 but with Fire siblings

    11?? Some Ursa and Ozai relationship.

    12?? How the gaang joined

    13?? then we put all the rest of the movie with a chronological order, and we managed to make people understand everything when there are just 30 minutes left to the end of the movie.

    It was just an idea for make an originall movie, and thing wouldn't be messie all the time, just like that in the beggining... But if you don't like it... or we could considerate the movie as an OVA, you know, like in anime, OVAS are almost always different from the originall manga/anime.... well, just Ideas.

    By the way, I think we should wait until everybody that has posted here is connected, and reading this trhead completly before we start giving tasks... we must not forgive anybody!!!

    I'd also love to be a writer. It's my strong point I think.
