Get a head in life.

I've cut together about 14 minutes worth of audio for the movie. The audio so far is worth about 10 pages, out of the 45 page script overall...so yeah this entire thing, as stated previously, is probably going to be about a full hour long. I'm going to start on the animation process soon starting with this first 14 minutes and will splitting up the entire movie into segments, as I've done with a few previous movies that have had long running times. In the meantime, I've been workin' on these:

Just note that these are not the only things I'll be using. The animation will NOT be using the typical "segmentated" animation where all of the characters are made up of pre-made parts, as used in the Parody Rangers trilogy. However, if there's a moment where I simply need, say Lord Zet's head in a certain position and he'd be staying still: poof, done. It's there. Just more conveniant. But yes, things will be traditionally animated for the most part. Oh and I'll be posting screenshots as time goes on.

Dour Hour.

First off NiN10Doh! got a daily, weekly AND monthly award. We done good folks...

SO good in fact, I think we've prettymuch made it official...we're gonna do a sequel. I've come up with a LOT of really funny new ideas for skits, specifically on games we didn't tackle in the previous one. We can do better, and we certainly will. Some BIG people might be involved too, so look forward to that. S'funny too, I was completely against the idea of a sequel midway into the animation process of the entire project, but upon its completion some things sprang up. Good stuff, too. But that's not all, so lemme relate this back to what this blog is actually ABOUT.

Both of these upcoming flash movie projects, the NiN10Doh! sequel along with the Parody Rangers Feature movie...are being officially sponsored by Newgrounds.com

I'm really thankful, and even more excited, that this worked out for me. The Movie is still at incredibly early stages, yes. I've got all of the main characters fully recorded and have been periodically working on cutting together the audio. The animation process hasn't started, and probably won't until at LEAST May. Nonetheless, I seriously think this thing is gonna end up being at least a solid hour long...and I have to animate every last second of it. HOORAY. It'll be worth it.

Stay with me, folks.

New Stuff, I swear!

First and foremost, PLEASE check out NiN10Doh! at Newgrounds. Just finished this collaborative flash movie project over the weekend and Richie Zirbes and I stayed up LATE into the night, several nights actually, to get this thing finished and perfected. All parties involved worked real hard, so I hope you guys enjoy it.

SO, back to Parody Rangers. I've got a quick little 30-second animation project for school, actually. Once that's finished, the animation process may finally begin...I say "may" because there are two main characters I have yet to record with. However, working with the large amount of audio I've gotten so far, editing and cutting things together's been very fun. I finished the first scene featuring the villain characters and it sounds totally hilarious. I can already tell this is gonna come out great.

While continuing to work through pre-production, I've come to a...well, not so much "difficult" decision as it is important. Go! Go! Parody Rangers: THE MOVIE will most likely be my final "Newgrounds-audience" cartoon. I've stopped and taken a long, hard look at my current work that's been put online. Between the Parody Rangers trilogy and my Nintendo themed movies such as Rawest Forest, I think I've come to rely just a bit too much on familiarity to carry me. Granted, all of these projects I've worked on the past couple years I've enjoyed very much, and they've been decently successful. However, if I truly wish to get into the REAL animation industry, that's not gonna be enough. At the suggestion by a few people, I've decided to go in a new direction.

A few people who've followed my work in other sites like DeviantArt and such, may know that there's a certain series I've been developing for about +10 years, all throughout my life. Aside from that, I've recently been working on a new series concept that I've thought as more of a "Cartoon Network-audience" and I'm actually getting kind of excited about it. However, fret not. While this decision is for real, this does NOT mean that I'm not going to put 100% effort into Rangers the Movie when I finally get into it. I've still got plenty of drive and can't wait to dive into it. Hopefully you guys'll understand this -choice- I've made, though I'm expecting to recieve just a LITTLE bit of crap in the process.

BEHOLD.

It was announced on Wha-Chow! last night, but obviously a post regarding the news here is important...the new cast members have been revealed!

Evan Splooge will be played by Josh "Tomamoto" Tomar!
Dulcy will be played by Kira "Rina-chan" Buckland!

Both of these entrants did an exceedingly fine job, and you may be familiar with them already! This pair has appeared in many a flash cartoon across the wide array of movies on Newgrounds.com and even a few where they've been IN the same cast. In fact, you can even hear them on NG's latest hit by the one and only Egoraptor: Metal Gear Awesome 2! Kira has done a few character voices for me before, including Parody Rangers 3. Meanwhile this will be Josh's first time working with me, but I can't wait, since he's got ridiculous amounts of range and should fit in with the voice cast just fine.

I'll soon be recording these two...but to the rest of you who entered, it MAY not be necessarily over. I recieved several other good auditions alongside my two winners, and will be giving out bit parts to a few other lucky runner-ups. I won't say who...considering I'm not even 100% sure WHO I'll be choosing for that yet. However, I'll be e-mailing those selected individuals at a later date.

The door has been SHUT.

The Open-audition for Parody Rangers is now officially closed. I recieved WELL over 50 auditions for Evan Splooge, and only about 10 for Dulcy. Either case, well done everybody. I think I've already just about settled on who I want for both of the character roles, but this weekend I will be going over and reviewing all of the auditions I've collected. Let's just say there may be more than two "winners".

Meanwhile, on the progress side of things, I'm continuing to get recordings from the cast and nearly have all the main characters recorded. Only a couple of the rangers're left, as well as a few minor, but still important, supporting characters. Then there's the arduous task of getting the bit-parts and one liners. JOY.

Also worth noting, NiN10Doh! my collaborative flash project, is getting closer to completion. There's only a few pieces of the puzzle left to assemble for that as well, and I'm hoping to finish it as soon as possible so I can finally get rolling with the movie's animation process. We'll see how that goes.

Stay tuned for more updates.

...that's RIDICULOUS!!

So you may've noticed a new character on the main character cast list a few entries back, yes?

...iiiiiiiiiiiiit's Yannick!

Those've you who didn't notice from the credits, Booch Jr. and his father from Parody Rangers 2 were originally designed by my good man Zach Bellissimo, "Seizuredemon". Originally these characters were based on our friend Micheal Carbuccio, with the father being himself, years from now, and Jr. being his son. The point was that his son would grow up on whatever comics and cartoons myself, Zach and Mike would make and publish in the future when we grow up to be "famous, rich artists". Tee hee. At the time, the joke was hilarious, so Zach drew up some sketches of Booch & son, and I included them in Rangers 2.

Another friend of ours, Yannick Wyler, was eventually added on to the joke by chance one boring day. He did a completely out-of-nowhere character voice for if there were to be a "Yannick Jr." and we made him into Booch Jr.'s little friend. When the ideas for the Rangers feature film started being developed, I was quickly told to change a certain concept by the suggestion of those same friends. As you may remember from the real Power Rangers movie, "Fred" was the quintessential little annoying kid character for the viewer of the same age to relate to...essentially having no point to the plot whatsoever. Instead of creating a character that parodied Fred, I decided instead to use the duo of Booch and Yannick Jrs. in his place.

Yannick will be playing himself, and has already recorded the dialogue for his character. Booch is still pending, as I'm having a little trouble tracking him down, but I'm sure he'll be recorded soon. Either case, pictured above are the two original sketches by Zach Bellissimo for Yannick Jr.'s character. I'm sure you guys'll get a kick out of him.

LASTLY! You guys've got about a month left for the open casting call involved with the movie. Those've you who I know have already been waiting to audition for this through hearing me talk about it beforehand...GET TO WORK.

Open Casting Call!

I am having open voiceover auditions for the following characters in the Parody Rangers feature.

______________________

FOR GIRLS: Dulcy
Overview - I essentially had to design a character with more sexual appeal than Pinky, even. The main seller on this will be being able to do an English and/or Australian, similiar to that of the character from the real movie (Dulcea). I'll supply a few lines, including the opening monologue that she speaks...and I'm getting this out here now: You don't have to do this for the audition, however, IF you get the part, you WILL have to do about 30 seconds of orgasm improv for a certain scene. I'm saying this now so that when I find the person I need, they're not backing out of it.

Audition lines -
-Ages ago, an interdimensional being named Zordon, established a command center in his never-ending battle against evil. With the aid of his trusted assistant, Alpha 5, he was able to gather together a group of young martial artists, giving them the powers to morph into a super fighting force. Now, years later, he has randomly returned to bring in a NEW group of teens, all with serious, freaking issues, like...you have no idea...really. They're fucking scary. Why is this being written this way? Anyways, now there's ANOTHER new set of rangers, because our logic says we need to change their theme into something new. But this time we have an actual BUDGET, so we filmed this movie overseas, in hopes that popularity will further increase. Instead though, we blew the budget on booze, and bastardized your childhood memories of not only the series, but now this feature film...

-I am Dulcy, master Xena warrior princess knockoff Australian supermodel of the Planet Buut2dahed. What the bloody hell do you want from me?

-It's dangerous to venture out here at night, so you may stay here until sunrise. I've prepared a room for you all.

__________________________________________________________

FOR GUYS: Evan Splooge
Overview - This is one of the biggest parts in the movie. The character has a lot of lines...and no voice. Seriously. I've had a few early ideas such as a "Sean Connery" or "The Monarch" voice and other such things, but realized they may be too generic. This character is VERY dependant on comedic timing, and is very demanding in that department. I'd like him to be along similiar lines to how Ivan Ooze (his ancestor) sounds in the real Power Rangers movie. Be creative, as his first line is completely up to your ideas.

Audition lines-
-**Evan Splooge's introduction line of your creation**

-SOOO glad you asked! I am the towering terror, the master of mayhem, the purple punisher, the vi-o-let of vi-o-lence! I AM...DARKWING DU- I mean...they call me EVAN SPLOOGE!

-'EEEEY, how's it hangin' Coach Z!?

-**Generic evil laughter of your creation**
