The Jedi Academy Series

As of this moment it is my pleasure to announce that The Jedi Academy Series is now green light and ready to go!

For those of you who don't know, TJAS is a series of video shorts to show people exatley what the Academy is all about.

To start with, research and recording will begin on a sort of intro video that could be posted on the site as a sort of advertisment to inform and create intrest. It will be a very general introduction to the JA, short clips of classes, duels, and interaction, all synched up to a great SW soundtrack!

The proceeding videos will break down the Academy peice at a time with videos on the Staff/Trainers/Knights (and thier paddies!), the way the Academy is run, gametypes, projects, themed videos, and, of course, one specially reserved for the goof-offs and jokers here that need several years of therapy, preforming whatever crazy stunts, tricks, assassinations or laming they do. (A.K.A. the JA version of MTV's Jack@$$. :D)

How will this all be put together?

It is actually very simple. First, anyone with a good connection to the servers can record a demo, the recorder will then go over the different recording of whatever they have recorded and choose the best one and send it to me (or to someone that can upload to a good server for me to download.) Once I have it, I can process and cut the demo into several clips that I will review and then select what fits based on what we have discussed here in this forum.

Go ahed and start posting ideas and let's begin to hash this thing out. Actuall recording will not begin until at least a small layout of the first video is complete. In the meantime, experiment with the spectator mode while trying to keep track of a high-octane duel and test your connection to see if it is steady enough to handle recording.



I have spoken about this with the entire Council and they all agree that this can be something great if we really put some effort into it. I myself am prepared to put myself into this. However, this is NOT my project! It is OUR project! Something that I want the entire Academy to get involved in, one way or another. Something that we can look at with pride when we are finished!

Okay, THATS what I am looking for, what Bail just described. What else, what sound track(s) should we use? If need be, can/will we splice different sound bytes together?

Boss is calling, says his WAN cable burned out.......that a hundred and fifty foot cable.....:(

Idea:
I would do something like this:
(just a thought though :))
I would make a demo of a Jedi that walks through the door, into the Ceremonial Room) (walking, not running)
Then, I would have a black image with yellow letters or something like that :)
with something like: "Learn to fight like a true Jedi"
Then a move of a Jedi, something very cool, like a ydfa, and then a screen that says:
"Learn the skillful moves of a Jedi"
Then some people duelling (I would use JA, so it looks more lifelike...)
then a screen: "Learn to duel like a true Jedi"
And I would choose a music that goes faster, and faster, kind of like that ROTK trailer theme song
that would be perfect
and then: screens with quick moves that follow:
Be a Padawan
Use the lightsaber
Use the Force
And All...
At the Jedi Academy

And then another screen that stays on for about 5 seconds:

Really simple actually, I recently got an ATI All-In-Wonder Pro 9700 video card. The magic part is that it has an s-video in AND out port. :D If you know what that is and how to use it then the rest is cake. :)

Note: If Lando (if it's JK2, which I assume it isn't) or the Partyboy theme appear in the Jack@$$ part, I reserve the right to go on a laming- and killingspree. :P

Okay, I propose a partyboy skin is made particularly for Luke Skywalker to be used along with that Jack@$$ thingy I'm hearing about. Gotta have the speedo :P, and OBVIOUSLY gotta have the theme along with it :D.
