Just checking who would be interested in potentially doing an animation project to promote the forums and maybe gather some interest from the Youtube Warriors fandom. I don't have anything concrete in mind, and I've never done a MAP before. But I do think it could potentially be a good way to get some more traffic to this site. Anyone who has experience with MAPs would be greatly appreciated here haha

Oooo good to hear! I literally have no experience whatsoever so anyone who knows more than that will be really nice to have around akdfjakl;dfj
I'm unsure whether or not people would be more interested in an actual MAP. Or something less common like a 'warrior cats as vine' etc etc. Maybe I'll do that poll next lol

I'd be willing to try
i've never actually animated anything polished more than 20 frames before but I'd give it a go

Great! It doesn't need to be anything fancy ^^ I just want everyone to have fun and maybe get some people interested in the forums!

I'm down! I've doing an AMV/MAP part before, but that's my only experience. I have done animations (digital and traditional) before, however, and would be willing to give it a shot! Also as Brownie voiced, I'm willing to do collabs as well.

Ok! I think there is just enough interest that we could maybe start planning something ^^ I'm thinking something along the lines of either an AMV, or an animation meme. Simply because those are the two I have general knowledge about. But if you guys have any other ideas please let me know! I want it to be something everyone is interested in doing!

Sounds fun! I have no personal experience with AMVs or MAPs, but I've got a general idea of how they work. I'm not good at drawing cats (much less animating them) but will gladly throw my full support behind any project you guys decide to do! I think it would be a great idea to draw more traffic to the site.
Actually... if enough of the artists & animators in the yt fandom transitioned here, think how lively and vibrant the art forum could be; it could potentially become the designated place for warriors fans to host map calls and collabs... (perhaps in exchange for including wcrpforums as a sponsor or linking to it from the finished video?) Hmm... fun to think about, anyway.

Yeah! I would absolutely love for the art forum to become more active! As well as getting some new people here in general.

Oh yeah that would be cool! I miss the art forum being more active, itβs been slow for so long now

Here here!
As for an actual plan, I like the idea of animation memes simply because I can see that being very versatile.

maybe do something more flexible for the first one, give a lot of creative freedom for OC and having fun. Recently, there was that time traveler AMV that did that, or Dark River (which if you haven't seen parts for that go look, full map is supposed to be Halloween release). Maybe something along those lines? Something bright wouldn't be bad either, since a lot of us are noobs and lighthearted are easier to storyboard lmao

Good point good point! Would everyone want to make it with their OCs, or would you prefer canon characters? OCs might be more fun, but might not bring in the views like a canon character would.

p sure oc grabs just as much as long as it has warriors in the title and is cat based not full random oc map

Hmmm there's so many options I just don't know what to go with lol. I personally think I'd do better with instructions, and the MAP might look more put together with them. And canon characters would allow for it to be more cohesive. But like Brownie was saying, having OCs would probably be more fun for the animators themselves. I think I'll wait to hear a few more opinions before making a new poll :3

Scripted maps tend to be more cohesive and effective imo. Since this is to draw traffic to the forums (basically a soft advertisement), maybe you could do canon chars and OCs? canon chars to highlight the books + character discussion in warriors general and ocs to highlight fan clans and the Official 5 Clan rp? Those would probably be the strongest selling points for the forums.

Ok ok, new poll is up! Thanks again for everyone's comments. Originally I had thought of focusing it on RPs that are on the forums to highlight storylines and plots within the forums, to gather interest in them. But again, I am thinking that it just won't gather as many eyes as a canon character would. A mixed one would be fun, but I think it might take away from the cohesiveness of the whole AMV.
If we were to do OCs, we'd probably have to do a AMV similar to the Marble Soda MAP where the song doesn't have an actual direction/story to it. If that makes any sense?
Please vote again if you get the chance! Sorry for all the polls, I really have little to no idea what I'm doing aiodjfk;ajf

I would be down for mixed. :3
Speaking as someone from the WFF board, where mixed is pretty common.

Ok ok, but hear me out. Mixed would make planning the MAP so hard adjfasdjf; Truthfully I have no idea how hard it would be as I've never done it before so keep voting y'all!

If you're concerned about mixed being hard to manage, maybe break it into two short, separate maps. One could have canon chars and be focused on promoting that part of the forum, and the other could have ocs in it to promote the roleplays/fanfic side of the forum.
To my knowledge, this sort of thing hasn't been done on the forums before, and it's a fairly ambitious project... since this could be the first time participating in a map for a lot of people here, focusing their time and energy on one concept first, then the next might be better way to tackle it.
