Description
This is an animation test for the title sequence for what I am apparently calling The Legend of Zelda Fanimatic: Sacred Springs. I call it "fanimatic" because it's going to be a fan-made animatic. I hope. I've never actually made one before. Ultimately, I want this thing to be done in Flash. I neither have Flash, nor have I worked with it since college. Yay! But that doesn't stop me from planning to make it.

It being an original Zelda story that is based on no specific game, but follows the Zelda formula. I'm a little more than half-way through the scripting process. I do not intend to release the script here on DA or anywhere (although people pestering me might change my mind), but rather I'll probably post the storyboards...when I do those. Yup.

This is a big project that I shouldn't be doing but am too excited to not do. Ideally, I'll organize a team to split up the work because if it's just little old me doing it, it'll not really ever get done. I will not be seriously looking for a team before I have the script and storyboard together, but if you're a Zelda fanatic with arting skills and tons of time on your hands, feel free to drop me a note or e-mail. I am always looking for beta readers.

Oh, and this was done in Photoshop CS3 and then dropped in a gif compiler. It's 92 frames. It...looks better in more than 256 colors. I will post some individual frames in my scraps or something after I've had some rest. I also think I should have made more frames for the "Sacred Springs" part at the end. It seems awfully short...maybe I should round it up to an even hundred. XD

Couple original character concepts from the story:
