• Project Saturation: Initial Animatic

    A massive new animation project is currently under way, going by the name of "Project Saturation'. The movie hopes to explore the inner character behind discord, using the mane 6 to hopefully bring forth a past life.  I'll let the synopsis explain it:
    Luna and Celestia detect that Discord, despite being imprisoned in stone, is still at work. Instead of attempting to fight him, they free him in exchange that he enter an agreement to, once again, challenge Twilight Sparkle and her friends. On the surface, this is to improve the abilities of the main six so they can confront unknown threats in the future, which Celestia and Luna are wary of, but Celestia also believes that the six may be able to remind Discord of a past life, where he would not be so motivated to malicious intents.

    The story will follow Discord as he tests the mane 6 (minus Twilight) individually, separated from Twilight and unable to rely on her magic. Twilight, meanwhile, is instructed to join Discord, yet will she be successful in turning his heart?'
     They are looking for assistance though! Right now vector artists, voice actors, and anyone with skill in animation should watch this video for information on joining the group. 

    Check out the actual animatic fter the break!

    6. This may just be a good story. I'll admit I'm not overly keen on the idea of Discord being anywhere near humanoid. The show's done just fine without 'em thus far, and most of the inter-species interactions in fanfics come off as rather contrived. Make him just a regular pony, or a goat or something. That's my only quibble though. The dialogue as it stands seems to be very in-character. I'm looking forward to seeing how his turns out.

    8. At least they understand you can't have Harmony without Chaos. I'm surprised at the amount that can't get that.
      Looks good, this is going with my Wolf movie that I need to check on....

    9. Looks interesting, im not sure if bringing the 'elements of disharmony' were necessary, but im sure it'll turn out great in the end.

    18. Honestly, the idea of humanoids in Equestria is a bit unappealing to me, but if it's this epic, I can gladly put aside my reservations. I only wish my animating skills were good enough for me to help out with this project without holding anyone back.

    19. Seems interesting enough. Though I guess it's a rendition of what the creator's own headcanon of what things between Discord, Celestia and Luna are like and how they came to be where they are in the show and what happens after. Which always makes me cringe for a couple reasons. But we'll see how this progresses.

    20. The reasoning behind a humanoid Discord is, his human form (finishing up a rework atm, looks way better) will look exactly like Q. Just as a Trek reference, 'twas Galaxy's call.

      We're aiming for something that fits in the current canon, though of course Hasbro will likely botch that if they ever explore Discord further xD

      What we really need is voice actors, ESPECIALLY females, such as for Luna and Celestia, and of course, the Mane 6. (And Trixie!)

    21. It's going to be tough to find someone who can do the voice of Discord justice. I'm looking forward to seeing this though.

      ReplyDelete
    22. This could really be awesome! But does discord really have to become a human? I like him as a draconeques

      ReplyDelete
    23. So... wait, why'd he turn into a human with his power restrained...

      *shrug* was interesting.

    24. I have to agree with Superwaffle350. I love everything about this. except human Discord.

    25. @Tylendal Oh my my my.. a voice right up my alley! I think it's finally time to show everypony what this mad scientist can really conjure up... MWAH HAAAA HAAAA HAAAA!!!

    26. First of all, very cool.

      That being said, I'm not exactly keen on the humaniods in Equestria unless it has a significant point in the plot. I mean, in that second before the reveal, I thought they would have turned him into a pony or shrunk him. This would seem to flow more logically, "walk a mile in my shoes" type of thing.

      That being said, your project, your creative decisions. Don't want to stifle your vision if you have a grand picture in mind.

    27. Huzzah! I shall submit an audition as soon as I'm able. :)

    28. Pretty sure humanoid Discord would work. After all, he pulled it off well in Star Trek, right?

    29. The awesomeness level has just exited the Stratosphere.

      I can't wait for more of this!

    30. Wow, intriguing project, and great aspirations! All my best wishes for you to continue this project at your best ^^

    31. Humanoid Discord? Meep. No thanks. No want. No watch.

      ReplyDelete
    32. Yeah I'm sorry but no...Discord is not a human and never will be in my eyes. I'm sure they will do a great job. But for me I was turned off the second Discord stopped being...well Discord.

      He is a Draconiquist, not a human...Humans are FAR TO EVIL for the MLP universe. We don't belong in they're world, we'd just fuck it up.

    34. I would love to contribute, but I'm definitively not a voice actor. This is an epic undertaking and so enthusiastic. I wish I could contribute, but alas I am boring and normal, cept I love ponies. LOL I do so hope that this gets off the ground, I admire all that is set up and done so far.

      Discord may not be human, He could have become one of those satyr like critters. Would kinda be funny actually... *snickers*
