The other Jenny thread is pretty large, so I thought I'd start a new one here. For more information on what this is about, check out the original, or to get a grip on Jenny, check out the two completed stories, Name's Not Down and My Bloody Valentine.
I was thinking about the Jenny movie trailer as I was walking through the snow today. It's next on my list of projects after finishing Captain Zoom's story and the Jenny website, both of which I hope to have done by the end of the year. The trailer would be used to promote the website.
It dawned on me that I may not be "pop" enough to pull it off. I have a few ideas, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to brainstorm a little.
Here's what I'm thinking.
Think movie trailer. Don't limit your ideas due to potential artistic or technical difficulties. If we decide to do it, we can adjust accordingly. Funny, scary, suspenseful, whatever. Feel free to satirize, pay homage to or subvert trailer conventions. Run wild, but try to keep it tied into Jenny, obviously. Don't use any characters you don't own, and try to avoid specific parodies. If you're poking fun, make it at a genre or at the idea of trailers themselves, not Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or something.
Keep it short and punchy. Definitely no more than one minute. Preferably half a minute or less. Also consider the possibility of having a standardized sequence that is repeated in each trailer, if we do more than one. Something that ties together all the trailers, no matter how different they are, like a title sequence.
My brother and I have backgrounds in traditional animation, stop motion animation, live action and numerous multimedia programs, if that helps. I'm planning on doing at least one traditional animation trailer, both for the Project and for a scholarship. Hopefully the rough pencil test will be done fairly early to make the scholarship deadline, but the completed work probably won't see the light of day until months later, maybe even the summer. I haven't learned how to colour on the computer yet.
Obviously there's no way that we're going to do even the majority of suggestions. But it might be a fun exercise, and even lead to some new ideas for comics and whatnot.
If you've read this and you don't want to involve yourself because you're not working on a comic of Jenny, forget it. Jump in. The more the merrier. |
