LEGO Life of a Clone Trooper: Episode 1 coming soon!

I said I would bring something cool to TBH, this may be it. I'm not certain, but I may do this:

Have your siggy sing one of your favorite songs...or one that I've seen you sing. I already have a idea for Henri...and me, of course. The music I listen to is some-what not recognizable, but I listen mainly to Breaking Benjamin and some other misc, and I'm thinking of having my siggy sing to either BB or something else. This will be stop-motion, so I need some help:
What program should I use?
How do you insert audio
Overall, how to you turn a bunch of pictures into me rockin' to a song?

I need an experienced stop-motion maker to help me out, Henri, possibly. Remember, folks, this is a possibility. This may not happen if I can't turn it into a stop-motion.

Also, you can request for a video here
All the guidelines:
Song must be around 3 minutes
I need to know your siggy
I need to know your song
No religious songs, I do not want to offend anyone (songs that are not religious, but mention some religions, like Viva La Vida (Coldplay) , are permitted)
No songs with cursing, depends on words used if song is permitted

Let's get started!

Empire-
All American Rejects- Move Along (TBD)


Read below for true plan!

Henri isn't the only stop motion animator on this site

Anyways, this sounds good. I think I have an idea for my song.

I don't really like this idea... it'll involve way too much work.

If I were to have one my song would be probably "The times, the are a-changin'" by Bob Dylan.

Also, I'm nowhere near experienced, dude, I do like the compliment though.

I'd advise you to get professional editing software like Sony Vegas, if not just use NCH's VideoPad.

as for other stuff, I really don't know...

Thanks guys.

If you need any help I could help you

Okay. I will want to take the pictures first.

I'm not sure I want to do this. I tried stop motion a little while ago, and it sucked. I don't think it's my thing.

i do stop motions at 14 or 15 fps :)

I do them at 25 fps... -.-

i am only 11 you know legiheimer does them at about 1 fps xD

I am only 12 and I do 15-20.

Age is no excuse, I learned that at an early age :3

Anyway, back on topic

i am now back on topic :3

... just one more post, I started brickfilming at 11, and even though I'm not the best, I've got more than enough knowledge to compensate for my lack-luster animation, so age is no excuse and this argument is officially over.

As Jack said, back on topic!

Just one last thing. Why do people no longer use the smilies available? Instead of ":3", we have a :

If no one uses them, theirs no point making a series 3.


Back on topic, I am not doing this, but have started a project I WILL do. It's called "LEGO Life of a Clone Trooper". I need to know this:

What program should I use for a computer with lower memory?
What are fps?
How do you use a program?
How do you add affects/music/dialogue?

I'm not a techy guy.

Program:
NCH VideoPad

fps:
Frames per second, I use 25 because that's the one used on TV and cinema

How to use:
Take the pictures and just put them in sequence in the video track.

How to add effects:
there are some predefs, you can also use green sceen and remove the background or use Paint.NET for picture editing.

How to add Music:
Get the music you want to use and put it in an audio track(bellow the video track)

How to add Dialogue:
record it with something such as Audacity, export as MP3 and put it on another audio track.

Suggestions:
Watch some tutorials.
Ask me some more particular stuff

I can also make tutorials for you.

Last but not least, Techy is, literally, one of my many nicknames.

Thanks. I think I may be able to do it. I've finished the first episode, and I think the photography is great.

It sounds easy, really, something I did in a "Nick movie maker" game.

The photography for the first film as been uploaded to my computer! I can handle everything except this: How do I insert audio/Star Wars special effects?

Just drop it into the Audio Line in your editing software.

I might do some animation tests soon... the skills are gettin' rusteh an all.

I don't have a recording devise, how would I transfer my voice to it? My camera?

Sorry for the double post, but I would like to present:

It's just the banner for the film, not the film itself.

If you need voice actors I'd be glad to help

Here's the cast I need:

All clones: Empy
Target practice officer: JCC (?)
Grievous: ?
Droids: ?
Dooku: ?

That's all I need for Episodes 1-4. I would like an audition video for anyone interested.

I'm not sure what all I would be good at. Vocal impersonation is not something I was good at.

Vocal impersonation is something I'm decent at. I can definitely do the droids (me and my friends were watching the clone wars movie and I was making fun on the animated versions, and they said I sounded a lot like them)

I could do all of 'em, the problem is my grievous is similar to my dooku...

Okay, if you guys can maybe send me "auditions", that would be great!

... I'll get right on that -.-

I haven't auditioned in ages though...

I haven't gotten time to work on the audio and film itself yet. But it will be done by Halloween at latest.

PLEASE IGNORE:

Can wait for it. Is there any other way I can help besides voices?

Affects, like blasters and sabers, if you can do that.

The Empire wrote:Affects, like blasters and sabers, if you can do that.

I can do them in after effects if you need it, and commandomando does not want to step in.

Go ahead, buddy. You can do the effects.

Thanks. So, I'll send you the video w/ vocals (I can do that), and you give them blasters, lightsabers, explosions?

It would be great if you could also send something like 2:55 Explosion 4:65 Lightsaber, ETC. with the times and what you want.

Octan

Okay. I don't need that stuff with the first episode, but I do with the second and 4th.

Wait... he's called "TK-421"? Why does everyone call their stormies "TK-421"?

I dunnno. This is a tie-in to my "LEGO Life of a Stormtrooper" Comic, and the main guy is TK-421.

Trying to expand the PT story of an OT character...

Yeah, but he doesn't get killed by Luke.

Set to release October 21st, 2011

I still need casting for the following parts:
KO-214 (I was thinking Henri with an edited voice for this, to make him sound like a bada** droid)
Battle droids (if no one wants to, I can)
Super battle droids
Dooku
Plo Koon

That's all I need.

i could voice a droid if you want. what does plo koon sound like?

Look up a clip on YT for "The Clone Wars Plo Koon". Also I would like an "audition" video. Don't get made if I don't pick you, I'll still try to find a place for you.

ok dude i'll voice a droid

Tell me when you can send the audition video. Thanks. I only need your best droid voice, not a stopmotion or something.
