Short summary of what this is about:

Gears of War game is coming out soon. I decided to start making a non-cannon flash animation set in the same universe with the same characters, hopefully to be released the same day as Emergence, or maybe the day before to raise the hype of the game's launch.

I've been using flash for over 2 years now, and I feel this is the time to actually make something big. But I can't do this by myself.

As of right now, I only plan to make just a bunch of battle scenes with characters. But, if I were to get voice actors, I could make an actual storyline to go along with it. If any of you would like to help in any which way possible, either PM me or contact my AIM (SkateXer99) or MSN (Skatecrosser111@hotmail.com). I'll accept any voice actors (as long as your older than 17) and also would accept a few background artists. If you have any other skill in artwork, you could contact me as well, and we'll see what happens.

I plan for this to be a huge movie (one long gowsome animation released all on Emergence Day), but it's possible I could make it into segments (which would mean higher quality animations, but released at different times, final would be on Emergence Day).

Thank you for your time.

Skater, would you mind if I added these images to our image gallery (under your name of course)?

Let me know.

I can't voice act for ****, but I have been animating with flash for three years now. From those WIPs I see, you're style is quite different from mine. But if theres any way I could help (making rough character movements, etc), I'd be glad to.
Also, I'd love to help you with the blood. I'm fantastic at particle effects.

And I suck at particles. =D
My best particle effect was having 5 simple dots fall straight down and dissapear. It was really bad looking up close. But needless to say, Particles is one of the two worste things I do in Flash. (the other being action script)

And Bucain, it's cool if you use them. But I would wait if I were you until I either finish the Snub pistol or make more weapons, that way you get everything in one neat little package. Although you could add the Lancer right now if you want.

I've updated the list with the Gnasher shotgun. All I gotta do is finish the snub pistol and Hammerburst, and start on the bolo grenades then I'll be done with the weapons.

This is what I planned to do but there were a few problems for me
A. Didnt even have the full flash program *30 day trial, its over now :( *
B. Never did a flash before
C. Not a good enough attention span for a project such as this

Id like to help but...Im not too good at any of this stuff :D
Id help voice, but im 14.

But I hope you can carry out this project.
And what Uday said...
Why would I care about a GoW flash video if I got the game? :p

I wish you good luck

Well I had plans on releasing it the day before Emergence, but then again I'm a very slow animator, so I dunno. :)

It IS a few months away, so who knows. Maybe I could whip something out before then?

Thatd be cool.
It doesnt have to be some HUGE project either.

Ofcourse it wouldn't have to be some huge epic 30 minute movie, but I'd like it be better than most animations out there. I've already got a very few amount of character animations and poses, and a short scene written on paper. All I have to do is take the idea off paper and into the animation, and I could make a short trailer showing my animating skills. :)

If anyone has any experience at all in the art of backgrounds, whether it be in Flash or any other program, please contact me. Note that this means you should enjoy making destroyed cities as a background.

Also, Photoshop people would be nice for special effects. I got Pyro doing the particle effects, and the less stuff I have to do, the more I can focus on the actual animating itself, which means a higher quality movie for everyone.

Will do. Let me know when and I'll post them.

I do flash animations alot in my spare time. I have only done one movie so far (Hell Hounds---go look it up on newgrounds) but it was sprites. I have some other new movies in the works, another sprite movie, Metroid Peril.

I would gladly like to join you to make GOW a flash movie.(My attempt failed lol) If you wish to contact me send me a PM or text message on XBL (Tag: Lt Darkshot) I could be a useful animator!
