Well, over the past few month I've made some major changes to the scope of my project. After spending a few months fighting with massive pacing issues and weird plot holes I came to an interesting conclusion, there was no way that I could see to create the movies I'd always wanted with the existing footage. So instead I have decided to create a prequel TV series instead. The format will be as follows:
-Each Movie has now become a single season, making for 3 complete seasons.
-Each season will be a total of 5 episodes long.
-Each episode will contain its own original opening crawl and title.
-Each episode will be roughly 30 minutes long including opening crawl and credits.
-The seasons will retain their original movie title (eg. Season I: The Phantom Menace)
-Each Episode will have its own title (some of which I've admittedly borrowed from previous fan projects)
This allows me to fix a few problems. First, fast pacing of the movies feels much less out of place when place in an episodic format. Second, the additional opening crawls helps to flesh out situations and characters a little better.
I have just finished Season I, with only the final rendering needing to be done, and I'm closing in on finishing Season II. But I'm running short on time as I will be going on a massive vacation in mid January that will keep me away from my computer for quite a while. So I must ask if there is anyone here who is willing to help me complete this project.
The help I need is simple, I'm in good stead to finish the episodes on my own, but there is no way I can feasibly create a DVD release of this in time. Is there anyone out here who would be interested in taking care of the DVD end? If so please PM me and we can see if we're on a similar wavelength. Thanks!!!!
P.S. I should be releasing the episodes individually over the next week or so.
