MESSAGE TO EVERYONE:

I would like to thank the members of Narnia Fans (dancing lawn) for the support I had making the 'Magician's Nephew' episodes. I had a lot of fun going through the animation and now I regret to announce that the series will be incomplete due to many reasons.
Again, thanks to everyone, and special thanks to (following members):
John Burkitt, Starbuck, Barbarianking, Waterhogboy, who have given me full support whilst making the episodes.

I now leave this thread by posting the unfinished episode:

*added in episode 2*

This scene is based on Digory's dream of the 'deplorable word'. After the five minute clip, Digory would awaken in fear, and then the episode would continue onwards as read in the book.


And of course, the previous episodes:

PART 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKZCdNTF2AI

PART 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXHrRSA5Wxg

PART 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II8U_T3sTQI

PART 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO090gacKpA

PART 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6HAClKQN3s

So then, my future career lies towards a media company (hopefully the BBC)....and who knows if the Magician's Nephew could be turned into a series, or even a film!

Take care everyone!

I think, to be easier on you epidodes, like maybe two episodes? Half the book?
I would really like to play Polly if you want?

FLASH!!!! I'm going to PM you something important!
 
Audio play would be definitely doable, me thinks. And one could compromise and have stills with audio voiceover. If you can do the full animation, neato. But just remember if you have the audio first, not only does it help with the animation but it also means you could use it alone if you can't finish the visuals.
 
thats a good idea, you should probably make it with episodes or the whole movie, i bet it will pretty good, can't wait to see it.
 
I think episodes would be better, but that is just me. if you need a female voice I would love to be Jadas or Polly, if you need. I am experienced in theater and I would love to help.
 
Thank you for your reply's. From your help, it is very likely to create the book in episodes.

Creating the animation will take a while. I will keep you updated through pictures and perhaps video clips.

Voice acts will be discussed further when i have moved further into my project.

Thanks again!
 
This is incredible! What sort of voice would u liek for Polly? My voice sounds exactly like Racheal Hurd-Wood's (Wendy from Peter Pan). I am 13, and also, really like to act.
I was Belle in a Beauty and the Beast play....NOT a school play.

Thank you for all your replies!

I will start creating the project from Wednesday (27th Feb 06), at the moment, i have to create the settings and props (means reading the book again)! The enviroment is very important before starting any animation for the characters!

I will be posting the cast listing for voice acts. I will be sending pictures of my project in the near future.

Please check back for updates!

First Magician's Nephew Screenshot!!! :d

Again, thank you all for the support. As i do not want to dissappoint any Narnia fans, i have decided to release a screenshot of my project in order of proof.

Please understand that i will not be using 'flash' as its going to take way too long!

Very funky and cool!
Can i tell what you told me in my PM you sent me?? Or is it still a suprise?
Click to expand...

Not yet, I will notify you once an episode is completed.

Also, i like to say that i have my methods to make the scene look more 'old'. This is simply by showing London from a slight distance! E.g. seeing horses and carts etc.

Unfortunately, to make modified clothes for the characters will take ages, perhaps more then a year. This is simply because of the seperate animation for the movement of the clothes.....ouch.

Its also the same with lip movements. In certain scenes, you will not see the characters moving their lips. But trust me, you will not be put off from this. You will still know who's line it is.

At the moment, creating London in a distance is a huge task, what makes me laugh is that all that effort will only be shown for 10 seconds in film!

Anyway, i am currently wondering where the first episode will end. Reason because, i want them all to be equal in legnth. Any ideas?
 
London Beta Test Screenshot!

As i want to create some essence of early London, i decided to put old props, such as horse carts etc. At the moment, like i mentioned before, creating London is quite difficult, therefore this screenshot is still at an early stage!

Anyway, im almost ready to animate Polly and Digory first script! I might use 'original' BBC Narnia theme for the introduction, if not, something original. However, i have to think about consistency with that! As i own the soundtrack for 'Disneys' LWW, i probably will use some of those tracks as well.

Here is the screenshot:

I will keep this thread updated. Please leave feedback if you have any ideas for the animation.

Thanks
