Intro movie for the Jedi Academy.net?

Would you ever consider a intro movie for the Jedi Academy?:) For example I could do a intro movie for the jedi academy with Adobe AfterEffects, which would look like an opening crawl (like in the beginning of every Star Wars movie) A long time ago in a galaxy, far far away.....The Jedi Academy ....opening crawl....
I would just need a script for it. It's ok if you turn this idea down. My vacation just started and im sitting behind my PC at the moment, with Adobe AfterEffects open..:P would'nt take too long

What do you all think about this?

Cookies aren't really hard at all. I once took a look at how they worked, and they seemed pretty easy to me.

Still, I do like the site as it is now.

Those "Press Enter to Continue" things are ANNOYING.
If it's that what you meant.

So I don't think it's a good idea.

True, but that seems more trouble than it's actually worth. :)

I don't think DJ is a fan of flash/aftereffect type intro movies, but I can't be sure about that :)

So good chance he would squash the idea too :p

Then you would undoubtedly bookmark the site...

Just bookmark it after the intro movie :)

If you're talking about a splash movie for the site, I'm against it. I don't like intro movies which require an extra click before visiting the actual site. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure such a movie would be quite cool to see, but I visit this site often enough to get annoyed at the extra click after a while. :)

I and someone once came up with an idea about the Jedi Academy and we filmed some stuff. The basic outline of the story was a seige on the academy grounds with the Sith attacking trying to steal the acdemy holocron.

Yeah I think a movie intro would be cool. Something short with the option to skip intro if you want. :D

hmmm...well, it would (imo) be shorter / faster than the move ones,or skipable, would it be the site intro? if so ud have to make the file small for the sslower connectons, but sure apart from that great idea :)

Kind of you to offer :)

It would obviously depend on what the idea was (I dont personally have one) but if it was good, and the vast majority of the students supported it, I would not be against a movie

I'd like one. Somthing short and simple. Even the scrolling SW script would be too long imo.

Just somthing to remind us of the good things about the academy, and inspire us to think clearly before duels.

I was once in an old JK1 clan called JEDI

The intro movie was a black screen and the following came up in blue letters.

We are an order .... somthing somthing....
Spreading justice throught the galaxy,
Educating those in need,
Defending the weak,
and instructing the worthy and willing...
We are...

Then a light sabre hilt appears on a white background and a green blade comes out above it is says

JEDI

and underneith

Justice, Education, Defence and Instruction.

It was really good, im not sure if you will be able to imagine the impact from just this description but hopefuly you will get the idea of what i think a good intro movie would have.

i think that short ones can kinda make the sight look more profetional, i just dont like long ones that make the sight look like its bein put together infront of you


and yes i hate the intro to starwars movies, takes way to long, the only good one is Spaceballs because it says "beknowingest to us, but unbeknowingest to the princess..."

I cant think of any sights that use the crawl, but i know every time i see it, it annoys me. lol. I think just a saber slideing accross from left to right and The Jedi Academy shows up behind it would be subtle but perfect.

Other ideas are welcome of course....that was just my personal 2 cents;)
There are many talented members here in the JA and im sure if you all put your heads together, you can come up with something good....It's probably my fault, but i've not seen any clan use "opening crawls" like in Star Wars movies. Put a link or something:) just picking...:D The opening crawl would be exactly like it is in the movies but only with The Jedi Academy zooming and fading into the background and with an unique crawl

An intro movie would be pretty cool, i'm just not into the cliche opening scrawl that a lot of clans and communities use. Any other ideas though?
