We need a female role. We have a voice actor who wants to voice act, but we need a character for her. We were going to give her the "teacher" role, but then it'd be a really short role... That's just about it for now. And help on getting Subject A back on track away from those clingy groupie girls. D<

Natsuki, I commend you. You spoke my mind. Subject A says "lyserg's a col nam lol", however.
But yeah, since I informed both Akira and [Subject B] of the fact that Lyserg is a drug name, they're both on a path to kill [Subject A]. And like you said, majority can overrule him. I think. He's a bit headstrong, though. :D;[/size]

Lyserg is a terrible name! Maybe we'll give a not-so-nice character that name if Subject A wants it so bad, but not for Yuki's best friend. And we have a Subject B now?

XD There needs to be a female character like Haruko from FLCL. Who is all cool and awesome and teaches Yuki all he knows about this sport. >>; And she should be cool and awesome and really pretty but too old for Yuki and a little violent. And Reiki/Lyserg? should be just the right age for her. Whee crazy pairings! >3> Ignore the pairing part. But, really, I think there should be a female "teacher" of sorts who could meet up with them later, and Yuki has flashbacks and stuff... And it could go like: -sensei runs over yuki by accident with board during competition- Sensei: Ohsh- Hitomi: What the... Yuki: OMG TAISA! Reiki: ?? And Taisa means, like, sir. or ma'am. Yeah... Ignore my Ouran-hyped brain, please. >3> But I think the strong female character is a good idea!

Like a teacher? I don't think that the voice actor girl even wants to voice act anymore. ;___; She won't even do the music anymore, she's so mad at us. We do, however, need script done. It'd be really cool if you (Natsuki) and Kasu could put stuff together for us! Then you;d be helping out and sending stuff to us won't take forever to load and perfect (sound clips take an eternity to send and the timing on your voice acting might be a bit off with our animation if we do them separately). Script writing is perfect for you guys! : D
If you're up to the challenge, then I'll email a plot summary to you, character profiles, setting description etc. as soon as we have stuff figured out.
As well, any animations you guys want to put together can go on the site (when it's done), so it'd be pretty cool to see some of your work on the site. Of course, it doesn't have to be hoverboard/Yuki... I strongly encourage you guys to start an animation! Something with music... Or like, characters dancing to music or something, that'd be really cool. Just a suggestion, of course.

Hey hey... Script writing? Me? Um... I think you may be asking a bit too much... but who knows? I might be able to do it...
Whatever. Email me the info and I'll come up with a rough draft of some sort...

Yeah, script-writing will be great for you guys. But if it's too much work or takes up too much of your time, then you don't have to; I'm not forcing you too, but give it a try anyways. Maybe you'll find that it's fun and easy and won't take up too much time? XD
I'll email you the info when it's done. Hopefully!- by the end of April. We'll have everything sorted out by then (I think). As of right now, it's still hoverboard/snowboard adventure, mixed romance with Yuki and Hitomi, rivalries between Yuki and an "arch-enemy"...

Sounds fun! I'm up for it! Just post/send me the info. :3 By the way, are you drawing with a mouse or with a tablet? (For the voice-acting, wouldn't you record the acting first, then draw the mouths to follow the audio? It's my understanding that it's easier to do it that way with Flash.)

Hmmm good point... But as of right now, (Subject A) is afraid that his animation skils aren't good enough for the first episode, so I guess we're just waiting for my opening to be finished, before starting episode one.
I'll take your advice, figure out who's acting what and how the episode se déroule first, email you and Kasu the plot outline and character list. Then you can help figure out a script, return your script and we'll voice act. I think it'd be easier if we did the voice acting here, otherwise sending your voice clips via email might take a while or we'd have to wait to get your voice clips every week (we have 'animation' every week). It's really great that you can help out with script writing even. I know how the opening is going to go so I'll post how the first little bit goes here:
Yuki and someone else are racing down a hill in a mini-competition. The prize for whoever wins is a kiss from a really cute girl at their school so they really want to win. So they hoverboard down the hill and Yuki's a little ahead of the other guy after doing a crazy flip in the air. Just as he arrives at the finish line, he looks back to laugh at the other guy and ends up hitting a snowbank right in front of the finish line. The other guy wins the kiss from the girl.
Back at the school, they're getting their books, when Yuki catches up with 'that really cute girl' and starts flirting with her, starting to ask her out or something. Hitomi gets pissed and slaps him (Yuki goes flying across the screen kinda thing.)
And that's about all that's definite right now. If you guys want to get started, that'd be great : D

XD Well, if I write the script, I might as well do the voice-acting then and there and then send it to you all at once. >3> But I'm just back-up, if you need me I'll be available. :3
Okay, I'll try my hand at writing it. Does the girl volunteer for this, or...?
By the way, do you need SFX sites?

I think we'll attempt foley artist-ing our own sound effects when the animation is ready and set to go. I think being the foley artist for our own anime will be cool, although I guess I'll have a look at an SFX site if you have the link. ^^
I now have 13.5 seconds, but still need material for the opening. So far, we have:
~ Yuki's flexing fingers, as if to get ready for a race or soemthing ~ A waving scarf in the wind (Hitomi's) ~ Shine moving across a pair of goggles ~ Yuki going down a hill (snow blowing everywhere) then coming back up grinning ~ Pan up on Hitomi in Outfit1 ~ Hitomi hoverboarding down a hill and then flipping up into the sun ~ Reiki (Yeah! We convinced him to change it.) cleaning a hoverboard, then quick shot of his hand moving across the hoverboard and the shine moving across it as he cleans the surface
That's all 13.5 seconds of it so far... But I'm running out of ideas on what to have next.

www.sounddogs.com is pretty good, we used some of them for our school play. >3> They have, liek, almost EVERYTHING. Even Korean voice-recordings (ftw). So, does the girl volunteer for this "prize"? What's her personality? Could you give me a list of characters, and like, one word for each of their personalities? Thanks. :3 Also - how they speak and everything? YAY FOR REIKI!

Girl volunteer? I really should read the posts more carefully... XD
Alright, so detailed list of characters as of thus far:
Yuki Appearance: tall, lean, wears cool clothes etc. Personality: kinda reckless, fun-loving, disregard for rules, flirtatious with girls but is actually really shy around Hitomi because she's the only girl that he's really really liked, somewhat thingyy History: H-Boards for as long as he can remember Phrase: ((still thinking on this one XD))
Hitomi Appearance: shorter than Yuki, thin, really pretty etc. Personality: smart (really really smart), shy around boys but not around Yuki and Reiki, modest, totally kawaii History: had a bad crash years ago before she met Yuki, but because of her love for him, she's decided to take it up again Phrase: Well she doesn't really have a phrase, but she slaps Yuki whenever he's flirting with the other girls
Reiki Appearance: black hair, about the same height as Yuki, really strong Personality: easy-going, careful, cunning, doesn't really care about girls, really wants to become a good mechanic for H-Boards when he grows up so he never gives up (determined) History: his dad was a legendary H-Board mechanic, and he wants to own an H-Board repair shop when he grows up Phrase: ((hmm... probably not))
Those are the three protagonists, and I'll post the list for antagonists after consulting Subject A and the rest of the gang.

DDD: Post a picture of Yuki and Reiki so I can draw them too. Hitomi's already in the making.
Okay, about the girl who the two at the beginning are competing to get a kiss from - short personality description - is she the prettiest girl in the school, or something? And the guy he's competing against - a friend? A rival? Someone who we really don't know and is just an extra? >3>
Right, I'll start the script nao.

Hmm... Sounds good, but most of it is everyday-life problems kind of, seen through the eyes of a teenager, so it's WAY more dramatic. For a few... a bunch of-... a lot... A MASSIVE CHUNK OF THE SERIES!!!!!-... ahem... then a tournament with a large prize is good. Or a bet of some sort... Hitomi versus Yuki's rival, who injures her and Yuki, who is afraid for her (accident on H-Board earlier, another one might give her a fear of ever hoverboarding again) decides to challenge him to a race. I guess that's just a mini-competition, but for a really really big one then we could do the Grand Prix thing. Or we could have the ideas mixed together...

Buh, I got ninja'd! XD
Yeah, the girl should be the prettiest girl in the school, so they're doing the race for fun. She's a fair sport, and since Yuki and the competition are both pretty cute, she's just there to enjoy the action and have fun. I think the guy is just a pal, but neither rival or close friend. So he's just an extra.

I have about 20.8 seconds of animation done for the opening, and I'm hopiong to finish it off by the end of May. That'll add about 10 seconds to it... And then we'll be recording voices, so we'll probably need the script sometime before the end of May. Heh, I can't wait to show it to you all.

Hmm, alright mild swearing but nothing crazy for Yuki since our voice actor doesn't swear. You know what I mean. XD

So how are you doing on the plot outline, Akira? It sounds like you have a lot of ideas. Are you planning to send me and Natsuki the script outline soon? I'm itching for work on this project.

Oh, right! I have to send you guys the script outline! @_@ Sorry, a little caught up!
As I said before:
Yuki and someone else are racing down a hill in a mini-competition. **'Hey, can't you go any faster?' 'At least TRY to beat me!'** (That kind of thing, tossing back and forth challenges as they race). The prize for whoever wins is a kiss from a really cute girl at their school so they really want to win** 'Gee, d'you REALLY want the kiss?' ** (Again, challenges). So they hoverboard down the hill and Yuki's a little ahead of the other guy after doing a crazy flip in the air. Just as he arrives at the finish line, he looks back to laugh at the other guy and ends up hitting a snowbank right in front of the finish line. **"HA! I wi-' CRASH! ** The other guy wins the kiss from the girl.
Back at the school, they're getting their books, when Yuki catches up with 'that really cute girl' and starts flirting with her, starting to ask her out or something. ** 'Hey, did you see that flip I did?' "Yes," TAKES HANDS 'I did it just for you...'** (Or something flirtatious like that, not necessarily what I wrote...) Hitomi gets pissed and slaps him ** screams- "YUKI!!!!"** (Yuki goes flying across the screen kinda thing.)
I hope that's ok, 'cause we're trying to finish up with music, so script and plot hasn't really been on our minds. ^_^;; If you could send it to us, or post it here, by the end of May, then that'd be fantastic. Although, please, no swearing for Yuki. Swearing for Hitomi is fine though (mild - 'Inuyasha-level', if you know what I mean).
Thanks so much for helping us out guys! The team really appreciates it! ^_^;
