Collab: Animation based on Wick Editor!

wow that looks great!!!

But you will need to help me and probably others to get started with that approage. maybe we can create a Training session? so everyone who is participating will learn to animate and draw with that style. I have Holliday for the next 7 weeks so I will have time. I’m flexible when it comes to the training time ( if we do that )

NEW

we would need to add some things to this fantasy adventure world though maybe we can brainstorm on that right now?

I also tried making a rough logo it is far from perfect but maybe its an start

I would need to change the colors so they fit the Wick Branding but besides that just from the dimensions its fine ( I think but you can choose the logo at the end )

I have also made an animation title:

Each letter’s color represents a character!

Blue: The robot (when you look closely at the pic, it has a blaster in its hand, kind of).
Brown: Jovanny’s Wick, let’s call it Jo the sheriff.
Pink: The pink Wick with the crown…need a name for it.
Yellow: Bee (let’s keep that name, simple)

And of course, we got the main character which is Wick itself! That’s the name!

I will post a rough story of this animation soon.

I like the Logo! maybe we can get a different letter for each one like in the kidnap-style letters where they cut off the letters for magazines and newsletters. also, I will have my own ( TEST ) youtube soon. maybe we can make an 2-week headstart for each episode on this site (as soon it is finished) whats cool about this one is that it may have an MP4 player made with wick, but not at the moment. but this can still take a while because I cant get it to run xD but I know that it works I just have to get around all the stupid errors I do. it will run on an real server so we can do other funny stuff with it too

That’s cool! And also let me go through the steps on how we will do it:

  1. We will “break”. What I mean by that is that I currently animate in Wick but I edit the footage in WeVideo, so we’ll make a project, label it like “Scene 1”, draw, animate, and export it out (Which I’ll do and upload it into the editing software. Plus if we do it breaks, the project won’t lag.

  2. The animation will run on 20 fps–now yes, that sounds absurd and it might take a bit more time to animate, but trust me, it will be worth it as the animation will be smooth. With 12 fps, we can see parts of it like “stutter” and stuff.

  3. I will post a rough story soon here and we, as a team go through it and fix, change, add stuff.

  4. Once the story is set, we’ll start the animation and stuff, help others with the gradient coloring and go over the formats and stuff.

  5. We can make this animation as episodes like anime) to create excitement after each episode ends and plus it will be quick to make short ones rather than making one long movie or something.

There’s no end date, so we can work on it steadily with perfection!

I think it woud be good if we could go throigh the video life so we can have better comunication. i think we are all in the Wickeditor Discord server we can just add us there so we can go into an call with Screen sharing or something ( i already found @MrDashell )

I wish that could work, but the thing is…I don’t have a phone or a personal computer. I am doing this on a school Chromebook that blocked discord!

That’s great! But also there is a slight problem…

My parents don’t know I’m doing this stuff, so I don’t think I can talk in the video then…only chat I guess.

That’s Totally fine :) we basicly only would do that to Life " Edit " the video

Ok! So now we need more people to join and help me with story and character design, we don’t need much with animation, since only like 2 or 3 people can take care of that.

That’s very nice, @MrDashell! One thing I would recommend in future drawings is to eliminate the mouth because the original Wick logo does not have…

Hey,

we could do that too I guess, but I have been preparing the story kind of in Wick, here’s what I got so far:

We could further brainstorm on the Microsoft as you said and fix any mistakes or changes!
