This summer I heard that you (Logan and Andrew) are going to make another Genius Wars Movie. Will it be acted for real or with legos?

it will be a combination of computer animation, legos and live-action to produce a cinematic experience of unparalleled excellence and wonder

Eh, we've been talking about it for years, and we even tried to film a few scenes, but they sucked. Before we seriously continue work on it, two problems have to be adressed. First, we need a smooth way of transitioning scenes, and second, we need an adequete sound editing system. I suppose both of these problems could be fixed if we got our hands on a digital camcorder that could be plugged into a computer and have the recorded data accesed directly; I think Logan has the software to do what we need to do from there. But yeah, we'd love to get around to it sometime during our lifetime; we've got all kinds of great ideas for scenes and even commercials...

Dan has a Digital Camcorder. It is what he used to record the commercial.

yes, we need a digital camcorder, I think that would fix almost all of our problems also, my computer has a DVD burner, so getting it off of the computer would be no problem at all. and, although this kind of goes against the ethos of genius wars, could we maybe write a script or at least a basic plot outline?

I thought you already had a plot including a jelly doghnut?
And if Dan can't do it I know who can...

Eh, let's put it this way. We have a plot in the same way that George Lucus had an idea for a movie with a Death Star in it and not much else yet... Mostly we have to write stuff down ahead of time because it's a movie, not a notebook. In a notebook you can just write or draw it instantly and it's done. With a film you have to have to do a lot of stuff first. Plus the notebook can take all the time it wants; film has to be done (at least the acting) in real time so we just can't make it up off the top of our heads. On another note, we should figure out how to do stop motion animation. I can think of endless possibilities if we could ever get that to work...

We'd need a person who can tranfer an animation(since stop motion is similar)to the actual film.

I still think there must be some way to plug a camera into a computer, I just don't know how.

But yeah, basic plot is something about a Supreme Jellydoghnut that whomsever eats will gain big powers and such. That's means that about the only thing we know that's going to happen for certain is the climax, which, if we could, would love to film on that bluff above La Crosse...

I remember there were oddles of other side stuff we wanted... We were aiming for a Rocky and Bullwinkle feel with random side stories in the middle.

hmm... if you remember them before or during filming/editing, do write them down so we don't forget again.

I can still remember them. Gullible's Travels, Imaginary Friend Hunters, Organ Trail...and I'm pretty sure that there was one more, though I can't remember.

Speaking of this matter we are ADD. If it were easier to do then we might actually get around to doing some of it; what we could really use is our own transportation, our own digital camcorder that we could use anytime we wanted, and lots and lots of free time to do this stupid random crap. What it boils down to is one summer while we are preferably still in college and not currently employed one of us needs to learn how to drive and have a digital camcorder. Then it would be far less of a problem.

It would need to be early summer, because Andrew is probably going to get a job this summer to help pay for college.
