OTCA Stop Motion Project?

Energon hidden in Uluru... it could work,
so, since this is Ozformers we'd probably be wise to include Outback as one of the characters

Might also want to consider that Uranium mine hidden in Kakadu NP? That would be a burst of energon there and you could easily get a big herd of salties into fighting the dinobots.

I'm smelling the makings of an excellent plot point for a Beast Wars crossover...

While I have little experience, I would be interested in doing some voice work.

Great, got the original soundtrack today, which means I don't need to rely on my lowsy memory and crappy old monotone keyboard to crack the job. I'm now confident to say I'll do the music -- that is, the formation of the feature length music flow. We still need a technical guru to merge the files of the music fragments with the video clips.

If I can find out which is the best software to use, giving that the adding of music is normally one of the last steps of a movie production, it might still give me enough time to learn the software. Or if we already have someone experienced in this kind of work then that's a quick (and probably better) fix.

Problem solved. The answer is Vegas Pro 10.0. Apparently easy to learn according to a close friend who is a video guru. So I'll do the soundtrack.

Now...let's get back to the plot. Kaon - Uluru - mad Megatron - Bruticus - Outback - possible nuclear energon - Beast Wars...quite a vision there...

Central Plot/Theme: Something to do with Australia (as it is OTCA)? Energon hidden in Uluru ?

I am very much in favour of these ideas!

Sound Organiser:
Haphazard?

I could try. Dunno how well I'd do, 'cos I've never done something like this before... I've always been more on the props/building/creating side of things, but hey, it sounds fun! Maybe we could even get an original soundtrack going? EDIT: If there's already plans for a soundtrack, I think I may have missed that bit. >_>

But yes, put me down for backgrounds and such too. If you can organise a place to keep it/film it, I could build a mini set of some sort. Dunno how many sets/scenes I could make, but I'm sure I could make something spiffy with a low budget. That is, if we're going to go into that much detail... I've also had a little experience in stop motion before, if that helps anyone.

Would like to help out on this; sounds fascinating (daunting too seeing all those involved so far are higher ranked)

Rank shouldn't discourage you! We were all noobs once.

You could build a set based on storyboards Hap, then others including myself could take photos of our toys in front of a green-screen and add them onto shots of your backgrounds. It takes extra effort by editing light sources but it if done well it can really work.
