I know it's not graphics, but I wasn't sure where else to put this. I've had this idea in my head of making a video for AU for a long time, and it won't get out of my head. I also recently found my Sony Vegas disc while cleaning my room, which means I could put the program on this computer and be able to create a video.
Below, I'm going to put a list of songs that I've thought of using so far. Also, if you would be so kind, I would like it if you posted your character's playbys and where I could find clips of them/where you would prefer I get them. Thanks.
Songs: This list is not final. These are just songs that I think could work and that I have. The last one I just thought would be hilarious and awesome at the same time. If any of you have any other songs that you think would work for a video, let me know.
Playbys:- Elijah Townsend: David Tennant
Use Clips From: Doctor Who (Seasons 2-4), Hamlet.
- Rue Fraser: Karen Gillan
Use Clips From: Doctor Who (Seasons 5-6).
I'm going to be honest and say that I don't know when I'm going to do this video. This is my last semester as an undergrad, so I'm going to be busy with schoolwork. I want to do this, however. I think it could be used for advertising, and just for fun in general. I'd like to know your thoughts on it. If you want your character in the video, please let me know and where I can find good clips of them. I really don't want to go searching everywhere for clips. [/font]

- *This is War - I thought the lyrics were well suited for the theme of animorphs. The music was pretty good too.
- The Reluctant Warrior - It sounds like the type of music you would put in the background of a movie trailer, which could be very appropriate.
- I Am the Doctor - Sounds like music suited for an epic journey.
- The Game Has Changed - Reminds me of suspenseful boss-battle music.
- This is Gallifrey: Our Childhood, Our Home - Sounds hopeful, yet still dangerous.
- *Phenomenon - It seems like good song for emphasizing the struggles of resisting alien invaders.
- Avenger - Very ominous.
Our Solemn Hour - Also very ominous. Has a sort of old-age evil meets modern day vibe to it, too.
- Fate of the Unknown - Sounds hopeful.
- I'll Make A Man Out of You - You are right, this would be hilarious and awesome. It would be great for a training montage video (like in Mulan).
The ones with the *'s by them were my favorite two, but I could see any of them working well depending on what you are going for. Personally, I have always wanted to make an animorphs RP video using the song 21 Guns by Green Day ever since I first heard it. It makes me think of just how tempted the animorphs always must be to give up, even though they never do. Playbys: (Sorry in advance for using two somewhat obscure actors) - Javier Delgado: Rudy Youngblood
He was in the movie Apocalypto, but I'm not sure how much use that will be for clips since he isn't dressed in modern day clothing at any point in the film.
- Shiro Shigure/Efflit 1431: Sung Kang
He was in the Fast and the Furious movies (3,4, and 5 I believe). You should be able to get some good clips from there.
- Kiki Sanderson: Bianca DeGroat
She was in Cyber Chase and some commercials, but other than that I'm not sure.
Also, I really hope this gets made. I love animorphs videos people have made for RP sites. Sometimes I still go and watch the videos Suji made for AA and AE just for fun because they bring back nostalgic memories. Good luck! If you need any help looking for videos of people, animals, aliens, places or anything else, just let me know.

i like this idea! I think: This is War The Game Has Changed I'll Make A Man Out Of You Character: Samantha James Play-By: Emma Watson Use Clips from: Harry Potter (preferably from the 4th movie on, mostly the last two but yeah) also! food for thought! At The Opera Tonight would be a fun song to see if anyone would be interested in making a video for that

I will listen to songs once I'm off the Skype call I'm on. Then I can see what I think of the suggested ones. Also going to say that I'd been wanting a video. Was about to ask a friend from another site to do one. Possibly I still could, and then we'd have two that could be used interchangeably for ads.
As for info on claims.
Ashley Bennett Claim: Dianna Agron Use Clips From: I Am Number Four and Seasons 2 & 3 of Glee. Mostly because both of those you can find things of her NOT in the Cheerios uniform. I'd rather have her in normal clothing. I guess that latter half of Season 1 works too.
Kyle Bennett Claim: Chord Overstreet Use Clips From: Seasons 2 & 3 of Glee.

Characters Richard Smith: Sean Faris List of Notable Works: The King of Fighters, The Brotherhood II, Yours, Mine and Ours, Never Back Down, Forever Strong, Freerunner and Ghost Machine
Joey Carter: Chris Evans List of Notable Works where he is holding a gun: Push, Losers, Captain America, Street Kings (possibly) and Cellular. Song Choices This is War: Very appropriate given how Animorphs is set up. The Reluctant Warrior: Reminds of the songs from Advent Children, so I approve of it. I am the doctor: Reminds of when a movie comes to a close only to find out that there is a much grander adventure awaiting the heroes.

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the feedback so far, and thanks for posting the playbys. I'm liking that you all picked This is War because that's the one I had the most ideas for in my head (alongside Phenomenon and The Reluctant Warrior). With that said, I think I'll do This is War, which is going to make me ask another question. I was inspired by this video when thinking of ideas for the This is War AMV. What I like about this video is it has the cast of Harry Potter as different parts of the song (to the people, the good and the evil, to the warrior, to the civilian, etc).
If you had to pick which one your character fit best under for this song, what would it be? (Pick three if you can't decide, and I'll list them all here).
The good: The evil: The soldier: The civilian: The martyr: The victim: The prophet: The liar: The honest: The leader: The pariah: The victor: The messiah:
I'm mainly asking because I sort of want this to be collaborative and not just me deciding. I mean, I have a couple ideas for where people could go: Jack for good, Shiro for evil, Joey being the soldier, Sabrina being the civilian, Sam the martyr, Evelyn the victim, Javier for the prophet, Richard/Elijah for the liar, maybe Rue for the honest, Ashley for the leader, Ethan/Stemar for the pariah, Kiki for the victor, Kyle for the messiah. These could be played around with and switched around depending what people like.
Either way, everyone is going to get into the video no matter what. Tell me what you think! [/font]

Character: Sabrina Wilde Play-By: Olivia Wilde Use Clips from: House MD (season 4-7), The Change-Up
Also:
I think Sabrina would be The Good, or The Honest.
I'm excited!

I like Sam being the martyr because of the thread where she was stupid and saved Jack's life and almost got killed. you can use the part of deathly hallows where Hermione is on the ground all tortured for a visual for that part if you'd like.

Choosing which label to give my characters is way harder than I would have ever thought. It is really making me think hard about what kind of person each of my characters are. That is both fun and somehow a little frightening. Anyway, here are my opinions, none of which are to strong:
Shiro/Efflit
OOC Perspective: The Evil Out of all of the player-controlled characters, he certainly seems the most evil. Although he does not see himself that way at all. His Perspective: The Leader, or The Victor, The Soldier He sees himself as a someone The One chose to lead his underlings on a quest to defend against and eradicate the animorphs. A quest he plans on completing soon.
Javier
OOC Perspective: The Prophet Unless something happens in one of the Ellemist/Crayak threads later, Javier probably makes the most sense to put as the prophet since he help pick out morphs, anticipating what animal abilities could come in handy. His Perspective: The civilian, The Honest As of now, Javier sees himself as more of a glorified zookeeper who dishes out animal facts, and less of an active freedom fighter for earth.
Kiki
OOC Perspective: The Victor, The Liar, The Victim I can see The Victor working, considering the scene where she held an animorph hostage to help gain their freedom, even though in reality she was mostly just looking out for herself. Which is why I think The Liar could also work. She doesn't lie with what she says, though. She lies with what she doesn't tell people and with what she does (not being shy about petty theft probably doesn't help much either). For The Victim, a little of what is above and below. Her Perspective: The Victim Kiki still hasn't gotten over the fact that she was responsible for the enslavement, and by extension, the death of her entire family during the first invasion. Also, she doesn't like the fact that she was willing to throw her allies under the bus in order to save her own skin, only to have those same people welcome her willingly to their animorph group. And to make matters worse, she keeps all these problems to herself.

I had to think about this for a while, like Drake, debating where my characters would go and which ones they would be. I can see the reasons for categorizing them as they were in Aly's post, I just had to think about whether that was really who they were as a person or not. It's sort of a really in depth look at your characters, which is sometimes nice to do. Here are my opinions. I have bolded my favorites, but left others for consideration.
Ashley: The leader, The soldier, The civilian, The honest Well, obvious fact that one of the literal leaders would probably get "The Leader", and Ashley is the hardest to place of those. Also she serves a lot of multiple functions as a leader, now that she actually thinks of herself AS a leader and as belonging in the Animorphs. Hence the soldier or civilian title, because she didn't for a long time consider herself a very necessary part of the team. Also, the honest is possible because of her present personality being fairly genuine.
Kyle: The messiah, The leader, The martyr, The prophet The leader is if Jack or Ashley doesn't get that role. It probably should actually go to one of the leaders. However, I don't think that is as fitting for Kyle. I had to think a little about the messiah title, and it's kind of iffy to me. I mean, it's not like the whole plot is riding on Kyle's shoulders, but then you think about the thread with rescuing everyone (Kyle, Kiki, Richard, & Elijah) and it was kind of riding on his shoulders. Plus rescuing Rue rode on him because he served as the distraction. Maybe it's more of a Martyr role than a Messiah... but whatever. Also put the prophet, because Kyle is the one of the three leaders who puts the most consideration into the outcomes and the consequences... even if his decisions aren't always risk free.
