The Circus also has some of the coolest characters on this website.

_{is alice up there im curious now}

_{I low-key don't like my writing in The Circus so depending on what scenes we animate I might want to change some dialogue}

Aw man Puff you're one of the best writers I know on her

I haven't read through all of Circus, but it is really interesting and I actually created a little animation just for Aza. Ha ha.

It's a gif so you can't hear what she's saying, but it's at the very beginning when she's like, "I could kill you, but I won't." I loved that line, so i decided to put my very few animation skills to the test. I didn't refine it, because I'm lazy, but there you go.

I know I've said this about basically all of your artwork but oh my goodness I love it so much

the lip sync in this is amazing!!!

Aww thanks guys.

I did it

(going to mention this just in case anyone missed it-)

What exactly does story boarding entail?

It's just like putting stuff in order and maybe changing stuff up if needed. They are also probably writing the scripts for the voice actors.

Oh I could help with scripting

Yeah same. I mean, I can help with anything other than animating

Okay, so just a suggestion, but can we have a group of people to create a sort of comic like rough draft for the animators? Like, just sketch out scenes and submit them so that the animators have a quick reference for what's going on in that scene. Like a comic, basically. I'm just saying that it would be easier for the animators if they didn't have to constantly flit back and forth looking for what the characters or wearing, or what type of injuries they may have sustained. That job can be fore the people doing the comic rough draft version. Idk. Just a suggestion, but of course my opinion isn't quite valid yet seeing as I just barely joined this chat. And it would be a job separate from animating, for those of us who can draw, but not animate quickly or effectively.

I think that's what they meant by storyboarding, just making a loose, unfinished comic-like version so the animators have a reference to use

Alright. I just wanted to check if that was what they were doing, not just creating a book like version of the rp. Although that would be useful for scripters.

I just found a really old reference image for Eli that I might redraw if we're definitely doing scenes from The Circus

Storyboarding is like a comic, and animatic is the same but timing it with audio. References and concept art are also made to help animators and storyboarders stick to the character design.

Um, also, should we have all the voice actors send in little clips of them speaking, so we can cast them?

^^^

Also, should we send in character references before casting? Just so we can see if the voice fits the character?

I mean…I'm sick so my voice is kinda messed up but I could try. How do I link a document to a post?

I don't think you can do a file directly from your computer, but that'd be cool if we could. You have to do a google doc or something and copy the page address.

Also can the voice actors get like a sample of something to read like a monologue or bits of dialogue from the RP?

Can I like
voice act and stuff
I can sing too

Yep just sign up on the doc

Which one though? I see one for animation but I'm not sure if that's the right one.
