POSSIBLE 80s SATURDAY MORNING FAN-FILM (NEEDS CO-WRITER)

NOW CLOSED. THANKS TO ALL WHO ENTERED IDEAS.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

As some of you may know, I have a strong interest in saturday morning animation from the 1980s, which has remained a wellspring of inspiration for my work here on Newgrounds and Youtube.

For a long time I've toyed with the idea of creating a television length (20 minute) fan-made crossover animation that brings together some of my favourite characters in an original story, namely: The Real Ghostbusters, The 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, and Thundercats. With expert attention paid to recreating the look, feel and sounds of those classic shows, in a never-before-seen blend.

There is zero gaurantee that I'll start, let alone finish such a huge task, but for all the jokes you can make about me only putting out one Starbarians cartoon a year, I often finish the animations I start and it is that fear of becoming wrapped up in something as demanding as a 20 minute film that has me very aware that I can't waste my time on something less than great.

It is for that reason I'm open to working with a co-writer.

IMPORTANT PART:

If you would like to be involved and credited as a co-writer, please take your time to write a 200-500 word synopsis complete with beginning, middle and end for a 20 minute story that involves The Real Ghostbusters, The 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, He-Man and The Masters of the Universe, and the Thundercats. The story must be pretty much family friendly and in the spirit of the source material it is drawing from. If this project goes ahead and your synopsis is chosen, you may be asked to write a treatment of your story in more detail and be on hand to help develop the script over which I will have final say. This is a non-profit, fan production and you will not be compensated financially for your work.

Email synopsis to: XXXXXXXX (address deleted)

Deadline: Midnight GMT March 1st

P.S. Have fun!!

Woah 20 minutes? Huge project sounds incredible though!

Ryallen 2014-02-16 17:13:10

This should be good. For everyone involved.

Whose going to pull this one off.

The turtles and ghostbusters i could picture together easily, the heman crew and the cats are extraterrestrial and for all intents and purposes occupy different vaguely defined eras.

I'd watch this though and knowing your track record love it, good luck.

pretty sure this is a joke

HappyHarry 2014-02-16 18:57:30

Nope.

PestoForce 2014-02-16 19:36:21

I can't help much but if this gets finished I'll be the happiest man in Pennsylvania.

Knights 2014-02-16 20:48:25

Can we submit multiple synopses, or is it only one per customer?

HappyHarry 2014-02-16 20:48:25

As many as you like!

tbremise 2014-02-16 22:20:56

That sounds exciting!

arest2 2014-02-16 23:08:27

I guess I will get to work now!!!

TimFelt 2014-02-17 00:40:17

I am a professional script writer, and i'll do it for only 20% revenue.
I can write quality scripts for easy dialogue, you will have ease of voicing.

I write funny and smart, thank you.

Yusuf 2014-02-17 07:49:06

MindChamber 2014-02-17 09:48:55

Im from the 80s! can I help?

WeirdoGoon 2014-02-17 11:02:29

Harry, I would love to take advantage of this opportunity. I will have something for you by the March 1st deadline...

YoutubeIsawesome 2014-02-17 11:25:06

Why not the others

PsychedelicSamurai 2014-02-17 15:25:45

Sweet, now I'm excited.

VicariousE 2014-02-17 18:29:20

Hmm, I grew up in the 80's. How to bring all 4 of them together... that's the question. It has to be done in a period-specific way.. no way could you do a 'Real World'/reality show rip-off.

I'll take a stab at this, but would suggest you might want to create a script yourself, from what entries you receive... mix and match the good bits together. Best of luck on getting a winning script, one that will motivate you till the very end :)

davethemonkey 2014-02-17 20:44:52

kind of like a laff-a-lympics for the 80's

tojiroh 2014-02-25 13:30:25

It's on, Harry m'boy. ;-)
