I will address the questions and comments that have been raised for Love and War. I figured it best to just type it out, than to answer every single question/comment. lol.
WARNING: THIS MAY SPOIL the end if you HAVE NOT SEEN PAST PART 8.
1. "Why didn't Levi and Cera get married?"
A: Out of respect for my real boyfriend, I decided not to have them hitched, since my boyfriend's character, and Cera's appear in other movies. I know it IS a movie afterall, but it'd just be funnier to have the Captain marry Amelie LOL.
2. "Did everyone know each other? And did you guys record in the same place?"
A: For the most part, I DID know the actors before they auditioned. Yet, they still auditioned. I did not choose them because they were my friends. And no, we did not record in the same place. I sent them their scripts via e-mail, and they sent me their audio clips the same way.
3. "What happened to Jule?"
A: You can safely assume, that after the appearance of the governor, and having him say "arrest them," that Jule is in prison (and rightly so!). Many of you felt that Part 8 did not connect with Part 6. I don't feel a need to HAVE to animate everything out for several reasons: (1) that'll make the movie unnecessarily longer; (2) the focus isn't on Jule, the focus is on Cera's past and her current dilemma with Cecily and Levi; (3) some films can still make sense without the need to explain everything, I feel this is the case with Love and War.
4. "Will you make a season 2/sequel?"
A: To be honest with you, I dislike sequels...unless I can find a story that would not only be better than the first, but would connect. I can't think of something that could currently replace it...FURTHERMORE...that would necessitate the presense of previous voice actors, and I'm not sure they're up for that (not to mention I'm going to law school and will be absent for at least a year).
5. "Will you be making more movies like this in the future?"
A: Sure, why not. The next one I make, however, will not be a romantic comedy.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS
1. "What program did you use?"
A: I am a mac user; I use Final Cut Express 4 to animate and video edit, Audacity to edit sound, and Photoshop CS2 to create graphics.
2. "Where can I find those backgrounds?"
A: I made 99% of them from scratch. I have borrowed maybe 2-3 maps from BSBackgrounds (THANK YOU Kirimy, Light, and Gregio!)
3. "Where did you get your sound effects?"
A: Either I MADE them, or else I found it on www.freesound.org
4. "How did you get them to move?"
A: ...please do a search on youtube for a Bannedstory Animation tutorial. XD I can't even explain this in one paragraph.

Are you going to upload Love & War on google video without cut scenes and stuff, like you said you would? ;_;
ReplyDeleteI would like to experience the movie-theatre feel as I rewatch it again. LOL.
could you do a video on how you make your movies it's really amazing but if you don't wish to it really ok!
ReplyDeleteWhat inspired you to make Love and War? And will you combind all the Love and War videos into one like you said?
ReplyDelete@Xo0tj0ox: I tried that. I have the entire movie put together ready to be uploaded; the only problem is finding a web site that will take videos longer than 10 minutes and over 500 MB. Currently, Google video is no longer accepting new additions.
ReplyDelete@Amethyst: I don't know if i'll make a video on it. It's just too time consuming, and I'm using a editing device that most are unfamiliar with (it's a mac program...and to top it off, it isn't free).
@Rissa: I can't remember what inspired me to make Love and War. I think I just wanted to make a movie with all voice acting, and was thinking of a good, simple, plot that I could make into a movie. That's how I got Love and War, I believe. And yes, I already combined it, but like the aforementioned, I can't upload it until I find a website that can accept videos longer than 10 minutes and 500 MB of space.
This is Babyyx Productions and i am SO YOUR FAN!! :D Cera, i hope u would get to your new school and stuff, thenafter u can make another movie!! And i wanna be in it D=!!
ReplyDeleteIs it possible for ask to get the full movie either on a video streaming website or a download link?
ReplyDelete@lolzzzshawn: That's what I've been figuring out for the past year, but I just can't find a website that is willing to upload a movie that is longer than 10 minutes, and over 500 MB...and is free. haha. This is a HUGE file. I have the FULL movie on hand, but I just can't find a good quality place to put it that doesn't have restrictions.
ReplyDelete@LoveLinkeD: Thanks! :) Hopefully I can come up with some stuff that everyone will be interested in
Mayb i shall try to find for u one ?
