A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

I'd say accomplishing that would be about medium difficulty. I tried my hand at both Flash animation and Action Script, but in the end decided to stick with the only artistic expression I'm good at: writing. The farthest I ever went with AS was making buttons, anyways. Actually, it's possible to scr...

Yeah, that forum has a big problem with procrastination. I was the head of a fan Flash game project, but it died. So did about every other project the forum attempted, as well as personal ones. But, if you have all of your side done, then I'm sure any one of the scripters could churn out a basic scr...

If you're a decent animator, I know a forum of some of the best Flash scripters and animators there are. While most of them are now older and focusing on their jobs, if you like I can link you and you can register, posting your idea and maybe you'll get a nibble from one of the many scripters. I lik...

I've yet to see either Batman movie, so I really have no idea if the supposed train would be suitable. I'll find out eventually.

Well, the problem is you have to do a little work to not make it look like crap. I wouldn't recommend gluing fabric to it, so you'll have to sew. As for a metallic shine, I thought it'd be simple and cheap to sew in a fabric frame over tin foil with a saran wrap or other clear wrapping cover to prev...

I like the idea of a Thwomp Stomper socking. While a Kuribo's Shoe stocking is fairly creative, a Thwomp Stomper-themed one would be a lot more original. I have a few basic ideas how you could do it quickly, visually-pleasing, and, most importantly, cheap. If you're interested, just ask and I could ...

I know I want to establish a shot of a train to later be graphically-altered to resemble a Bullet Bill train, but where to get such footage I don't know. I know I want it to be an L train or a lifted train, such as the one found in Chicago, but that type of train isn't often seen in movies. It's usu...

You know, I never thought of it that way. His second line really does suggest that... I dunno. His first line has both that positive, as well as the negative I pointed out. It all depends on the audience, really, and what they interpret. From what I can tell, the original cut is good because it woul...

After watching Speed, it won't work. The Bullet Bill train fight scene will probably have to be discarded, so instead I'll be turning my sights on reconstructing Koopa's take-over Dinohattan as flashbacks. This should be relatively easy, and I'm finding lots of stuff that might work for both a young...

Bonus feature. It's fun, and done the best of your capabilities, but it just doesn't flow as well as it could. I don't think I'd be accepting of any such added scene unless it was basically animated "live-action". Besides, doesn't hurt to have more bonus features on the list.

lol. That's pretty cool. If you want, you can animate them over the end-credits. Be an interesting complement to have classic sprites at the beginning, and live-action based ones at the end. Right now I'm getting Judge Dredd and Speed. Judge Dredd has some more shots that could be used, such as Mega...

Nice. Alright, when you're done just send it over. I really appreciate it. Even if we didn't get to take it farther, the discussion it inspired was certainly worth it. Lots of new ideas floating around up there.

Fair enough. Will you be accenting the e's as well? Those being left as-is wouldn't be good either.

All joking aside, I like a lot of these ideas. However, there's a fine line between the intro credits being a nice, fun intro, and being way too busy for it's own good. I like having the SMB1 Mario sprite on there because of two reasons. One, he's wearing the red overalls. Two, it's one of the most...

Yeah, links should definitely be provided. Networking makes sites more important via Google searches, so it'd put you higher as well. Considering these are archives, I thought I should remind you to try to archive things that may not last. Old interviews on various sites could go down at any time, s...

Yeah you should use it. If anyway you should try to use the guy falling from the statue as Koopa falling. Somehow make ity work. That would completely change the ending of the movie. lol I only really wanted to add one completely new scene that changes the dynamic of the film's action. As I mention...

Hey Redstar I don't think Im going to edit the SMW sprite in, it doesnt look right because of the limited frames. Man, I'm disappointed... Is that the complete sprite, so no matter what it won't be good? If the actual SNES has limited frames, I dunno how it wouldn't look just as good in the intro. ...

Yeah, I considered that. But, as I mentioned before, the audio track and the soundtrack occupy the same channel so it's difficult to remove one without affecting the other. The two can be split, but I don't know how and don't have the software for audio work. So it's either replace it entirely, or s...

I can probably manage a slight pause, but getting a new computer voice? That'll be harder, since all I really know to do is find a synthesizer online... But those are rather lame. Only other option is to re-record the lines, then tweak it. Any takers?

Close it? Well, it's his call, but we are throwing around ideas on what should be there, so it's still productive.

Definitely. I mean, it's certainly interesting information that Dennis Hopper often plays the role of villains, or that the supposedly New York Italian Mario is played by British Bob Hoskins.

(Responses to Phlibb and ultimate on last page) Its good but one thing, the way Toad says EVER is extremely right after he says You can get rid of him, while that's not bad, it sounds very obvious, that a cut was made, what I would do is make the shot where Toad "You can't get rid of him" ...

That does sound unbelievable. Hopefully you can get the fullest sprites there are, for walking and jumping, but if they're really that limited and it turns out not that good, then the original sprite works well enough. If they're equal, we can always put up a vote. I checked out Judge Dredd as you s...

Was there? I usually just copy-paste the symbol from a Pokemon site or from the symbols area in Word, but you can do it manually by holding down the Alt key and typing 130.

Much better. I personally feel the SMW sprite would work better because it was the closest game to release, and Mario World sprites are used in the film. Plus the higher art and animation quality would just look better crossing the screen and complement the Light Motive logo. But, it's your call. I'...

The SMW sprite would be perfect, as that was the most "recent" Mario game at the time of the film's release. Now that I think of it, would the Mario sprite be normal or Super Mario? Imagine him jumping up and hitting a block, and then the Super Mario Bros. title card comes up with the &qu...

Looking forward to it, man. You have good ideas for expanding the Mario film story, which I only wish we could get to film.

Actually, I thought it would be cool to have actor profiles. I mean, it could be helpful to people who don't know the actors. I'd like both myself, but it depends on if he wants to group them with their character (such as describing the actor, their history, etc. then moving on into their character...

That reminded me EXACTLY of the SMBSS opening. The whole "zoom in on a pixelated image of NYC" before entering the Mario's apartment. That part was great. And yeah, if possible, it would be neat to have a Mario sprite running into the background, jumping into an initially blank box--upon ...

That's... really good! I wouldn't have been able to do it so well myself, honestly. There's some spelling issues, yeah, but you explained why and they don't really take from it at all. The only real problem is that when the Super Mario Bros. film title comes up, it just seems really quiet because of...

The animation runs longer than Toad's explanation, so I'll have to clip it down a little if I can. It's certainly a good point for such a flashback to occur, so I want to make it work.

Now that I think about it, it would probably be needless to have an Actor Profiles section. You should lean more towards what you were describing, since their characters are the focus, after all.

The profiles Zack just posted would also do well for such a section.

I think the archives could do with some profiles of the various actors from the film. While the main focus would be their role in the movie, some details of who they are and what they've done would also be interesting additions. I mainly feel this type of section is important because images of the a...

(Responses to Phlibb and marioblaster above) I have no idea why I said Total Recall twice, but I was just thinking. You don't have to agree with me, but I would cut Daisys mother scene completely, that scene is too dark(I know a lot of the movie is). Just open with NY City, and the SMB theme playing...

1.) Remove the god-awful animated-opening prologue, replacing it with a simple black screen showing the cast-credits, which then fades into the first scene of Daisy's mother. This allows us to figure things out on our own rather than being told, and starts the movie off on a more dark mood. Haha, i...

These are all great finds. I'm glad someone other than me knows about Anonymous Rex! When it first came out, I was totally like "Super Mario Bros. ripoff!" The "thwomp" guys look really cool too--they look kind of like the title characters, PLUS they fit in with some other of th...

That would be such irony. I could easily do it all again, and would love to since I'd have more to work with, but the added and mapped footage would all be wasted on an inferior edition... Ah well. So, here's some of the stuff I found and how I want to use it: A Sea Devil from Doctor Who: http://ima...

I'd love to see some of the stuff you dug up. And I've already come across some of the test-edits you did on YouTube; interesting stuff. And since you're asking for cut advice, I'll throw in my short two-cents. Yeah, I'll be sure to post the images after you or someone replies (don't want to double...

Unfortunately, none it can come alive. I have no idea what I was trying to say there, btw. :oops: Yeah, that's mapping. I know a guy that's doing quality work mapping the '84 Lynch adaptation of Dune with updated graphics. I've considered asking him, though I know it would be a paying job and he's ...

One of my biggest gripes with the movie is the terrible extras. The alien creatures are better in Star Wars. Like some people are made up to be reptilian and then the rest of people are just trashy looking normal humans. I always thought it was really weird how Simon was just a guy with a mustache....
