I just had the most amazing idea....even though I know I wouldn't be able to pull it off >.> I was listening to Offsprings "Starin' at the Sun" song and...well, I was like "It'd be cool to see a Legends Music Video." Then all of a sudden, I got the idea to DRAW my own music video to the song. Moving characters, scenes from the games 'n everything. Then I started to think...that I could NEVER do that. Make a moving music video for 2:13. But...you know what? I'm gonna try! GUESS WHAT FAB! You better add a new section to the fan-work. Cause Dash Myoku is going to be submitting a fan music video in the near future...which translates to a very, very long time from now. I atleast hope to get some support from some people. You never know, your support may push me to actually make this work out. ^^ Also, any ideas as how the story for the video should go will be awesomely appreciated. I'm too excited for my own good....can you guys tell I like to jump from one project to the next fairly easily? >.> Offspring - Starin' at the Sun

Interesting idea. But what are we talking here? Pencil-sketch scenes or full-out colored professional animations?
Either way, I’d be impressed if you were to finish something like this. I’ve never heard the song, so no ideas immediately come to mind, but if it is support you’re looking for, you’ve got mine. I have plenty of that stuff.
Hate to say, I should probably be posting on the MMLeX threads as well. These fan projects interest me, yet I’ve never even taken the time to look onto most of them yet...
Anyway, you can pull it of I’m sure. If anything, you may be able to enlist the help of some free hands around here. You’d also need to be sure you have the right programs and such.
I don’t believe there is much else I can say at this point, since it is still a mere notion, but should you choose to try, more power to you.

Hehe, just pencil sketches...sketches just have something about them that appeals to me. Either way, I think it would look pretty friggin' awesome in just pencil (plus, mistakes are less noticed that way).
And you've never heard that song? Oh my...you should go download it, it's awesome xP But thanks for your support ^^
Yesh...I could probably get some help from some people. Though, from what I can tell...everyone's drawing style is different. So it'd be kind of hard to adapt to someone else's. But it's certainly worth a shot.

Everyone's drawing styles are indeed very different, but from my experience seeing different artists' animes meshed together in AMVs, that's not always a bad thing. I didn't hear you say clearly... is Offsprings "Starin' at the Sun" what you would use? I've never heard it. Anyways, good luck. It sounds like an awesome idea.

Awesome, and very very time-consuming. But if you do manage to pull it off, it sounds like a most excellent idea. ^_^ And since we all know you can work with music (and even draw) already, it shouldn't be much of a problem either! Of course, I've never heard the song, but I assume it has SOMETHING to do with Legends somehow, right?

No, Dashe...it really doesn't, actually. It's just a very high energy song. When I listen to it, all I can see is constant action. So...I'm thinking about showing MML all within 2:13. If you cut all the crap out of it and just show the fights...oh yeah. That'll be awesome...I'll go ahead and put a link in this post so people can download the song. Just don't tell on me >.>
EDIT: Link is in the first post xP
EDIT: then again Dashe...it might just have something to do with Legends. I'm listening to the lyrics now and...yeah. It's THE song to use for Legends xP

I just listened to the song myself. It's very much like something I can imagine for a Legends trailer. Not in a game itself, but for like a trailer or an opening movie. For a music video, I can picture a whole lot of explosions. Round, Legends explosions. Maybe a scene where Tron points forward and a bunch of Servbots (maybe one on a missle), Drauches, and the Gesselshaft fly overhead, and the it switches over and Glyde stands up and points from worms eye view with a bunch of Birdbots and Glyde robots flying forward. And there could be another where a bunch of Reaverbots light up simuntaneously, with a Zakobon in front, than a Skakurusuru Sharakarusu(mehehehe, can't spell), then a Hanmaru Doll, and then it zooms way up with that huge lava reaverbot. However, don't let me dream up your whole video. That's just what I'd do if I made could make a music video. I'm sure whatever you do will be good. You gots music in ya soul!

Psh, don't worry about it. I need ideas...I was just gonna show all of MML1, but what you suggested sounds better. xDD
OMFG!!! I just realized...this would be the perfect way to show a different Legends Series! Nothing to like progress it's current story...but for example. I was thinking I could show what happened between 1 and 2. Something like...the Bonnes kidnapped Roll and Trigger is all on his own, trying to save her and the Bonnes actually keep winning. And then end it with Trigger getting Roll back and blah blah blah. But, I only thought of this because I'm listening to another Offspring song. The song is called "Come out and Play" and it would be perfect for something like that. Not to mention some other songs from Offspring.
Just think of my idea as something Daft Punk did for one of their albums. Each music video they made was a series in one big movie-like cinematic. Something like that for Legends would be...awesome.

Well, although it could be interesting, I'm not saying everyone would have to adapt. Each person could have an aspect of the film to work with to make differences in style less obvious. For example, one person could do the backgrounds, one person could do the characters, one person could do the machines and reaverbots... Then on the other end, one person could mesh them all into one animation, one person could do some shading... There are plenty of ways to get many people involved.
That scene with the lesser reaverbots in front and that huge lava reaverbot in the back is a scene I have pictured many times. It would be great to see it animated. Another good one would be the Fockerwolf. Although it didn't do much in the game, it can be much more lively in a 2-D sequence. You could have it flying around the Flutter, perhaps starting the camera from behind Trigger as he watches it emerge from the smoke of the Gesselshaft, then maybe pan the camera around as it flies in every which direction dodging shots as it rails bullets. Then you could have bullets and lasers and missiles and clouds and chunks of metal and smoke flying everywhere and just have a great time with it, swap to some close-up view of the Fockerwolf just as a missile or buster shot hits some vital part, perhaps the engine, then conclude it by having it explode at a pause in the music. Or, should there be no available pause, just cut the music right as it begins drifting out of view and then begin it again as it explodes. You could toss in some shots of the Bonnes and the Caskets as you go to add some drama. The whole thing could last some 10-20 seconds or so. In any case, the Fockerwolf was quite fast, so it is only natural that it should have an equally fast-paced song.
But that’s just an idea. I never watch music videos, so I wouldn’t know what one is supposed to look like.

Self-made/drawn music video definitely sounds intriguing, if you indeed follow through with it. I haven't heard the song (I may listen later) but since my musical tastes are so different from most people's I probably wouldn't dig it anyway. Still, the most important thing to me in a music vid is the imagery and how well it fits and times with the flow of the music, so anything can sound okay if it's well implemented. Maybe a scene where Tron points forward and a bunch of Servbots (maybe one on a missle), Drauches, and the Gesselshaft fly overhead, and the it switches over and Glyde stands up and points from worms eye view with a bunch of Birdbots and Glyde robots flying forward. And there could be another where a bunch of Reaverbots light up simuntaneously, with a Zakobon in front, than a Skakurusuru Sharakarusu(mehehehe, can't spell), then a Hanmaru Doll, and then it zooms way up with that huge lava reaverbot. That is a dang freakin' awesome vision! It's like, inspirational I dare say! It wouldn't be easy to draw all that, but once drawn, the animation of things moving forward wouldn't be too hard I don't think. Mm, yeah, I can picture that... What a gorgeous scene it could be!
