Because of what Eric said he'd like to see for the promo I've kind of hit writers block, so I haven't really been working on that. However, I've had a lot of ideas for awhile for the series.

I think it would be best if all those that want to be apart of this project or just those that would like to give their ideas, would meet in a meeting in the chat sometime just to discuss this project. There's a lot of things that need ironing out if this is going to work.

Let's try to think of a time when the majority of us can talk about this. During the Monday through Thursday I'm usually near a computer most of the time, Friday and Saturday I'm usually out doing something with my friends, and Sunday I sleep in late but I'm near a computer for most of the day. So, almost whenever's fine with me.

Can I ask who exactly is a part of this project and what they're doing?

Anytime after 5 for me on weekdays. Weekends are completely unpredictable. I'm currently working on Character Development.

I am in charge of scripting and open to any help. Eric's the main guy in charge. That's it as far as I know.

Can I be the the rigger?

I don't think we'll need any scaffolding built or ropes and cables for this project, unless a rigger is something else.

*poke* I'm almost finshed with your picture. >__> sorry for the wait

lol like I just told you on AIM, whenever you get it done is fine. Though I am looking forward to it.

Hey Kiyoshi, you know I'm up to helping out with whatever I can. Just give me something that I can do and if I can do it I will.

If he knows anything about 3D modelling, than "rigger" would be one who rigs a 3D model for animation.

Ah well see, I don't know much about this 3-D stuff (was going with what a rigger is in traditional film), hense why I'm not working on it, but yeah...we need anyone who can do that kind of work.

Nope, just wanted to play with ropes and shit. Ah well...

Since we now have a new member to the team, and peraps this project can further get on the way, I think I should bring up again that there should probably be some kind of discussion between all those involved so that we can all get on the same page and perhaps put forth some kind of deadline for the different required parts of this project.

Like I told Eric a while ago when I first found out about this project, I would help any way I could as usual. My knowledge with graphics and animation is very limited though, but if there's something else you need feel free to ask me.

Well for the promo it shouldn't be hard at all to just throw things together once the models are finished and I have kind of an idea of what can and can't be done from a director stand point. Though really you might not need me at all as writer or director for te promo. Like I said things could just be thrown together with a bunch of mobile suits fighting, cue explosion here, that kind of thing.

I've had a few ideas on that myself and from my perspective we have a few options. One of which is to just completly drop the link to Gundam W for the series, which allows us to not worry about having to figure out how to explain what happened to the characters people know from that series. However, let's just go with what can be done if we build on the Gundam W series.

We can either do the story from before the three year jump revolving around everyone going to arms and a new war starting with possible story arcs being Jyotika, Blace Lowe, and the FRE Faction, two of those semi took place, while the remaining was just something I came up with for the RP.

The first episode would probably have to either be heavily narriated to put it into perspective, or could be shown in flashbacks. This could be through the eyes of one of the new main characters, seeing the events of AC 195 and probably 196 then moving in to the AC 199 storyline.

Another option is to start in the current timeline of events in AC 201. Again we'd have to either rely on nariation or a flashback. The plus to this is we can show of impressive "war footage" early on that we just make up showing the War of AC 199.

Characters should be the ones that actually participate or did participate. I'm currently getting back into things since I've been asked by a few people and I've gotten my mind clear. But anyway, not to get off topic. This is why I think we should try and have a meeting in some form of chat, whether it's aim, the one on here (if it still works I haven't checked it since before the forum went down in Dec) and everyone get on the same page.

Any way to add the FRE with out leaving the one I'm in now?

We could do a bunch of side stories that take place in AC 195 or 196 like a few 30 minute length OVA's (for lack of a better term) showing what the main characters for the eventual series were doing during those times, establishing them in the W universe.
