Ranma 1/2: The Abridged Chronicles

[Eliteslayer]

Yes, I'm not dead, I've still been frequenting SMB, I just haven't exactly been posting much. But that aside, I'd like to tell you all about the latest addition to the all-too-many abridged series on YouTube.

See, a while ago, a friend of mine came to me and suggested we make an abridged Ranma 1/2. Now, I know there are far too many abridged series on YouTube as it is, but it sounded fun, so I decided to help. Logically, this meant cleaning up all the scripts (they needed the help), doing all the editing (he only turned to me for my video editing programs), and maybe doing a few voices (I have a very distinctive voice, so it's hard to mask it with too many characters).

So, after a hard day of work, we finally came up with the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOplya2HK8Y

Then, after another hard day of work, we got half of episode 1 done. Our work was hindered, however, when we realized neither of us could do Nabiki's voice. So we put the episode on hold as we contacted a few of our friends, and put out a casting call for the other female voices we'd be unable to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDc2yVsG0_0

I'll keep you all updated on its progress. We're not trying to make any sort of big hit, and there are other abridged Ranma series out there, but we put a lot of work into what we do, and I'm proud of the results, so if we can make some people laugh, then it'll be a success in my eyes. Hope you all enjoy!

PS. The voices I do so far are: the narrator who was fired in episode 1, Kuno, Genma (human form), and eventually Ryoga and Principal Kuno.

Not bad. Nothin' I haven't told you online over AIM's new, so I won't bother reposting that.

Glad you guys like it! Episode 1 is also up now, and while it's still got its flaws, me and my friend worked hard on it, so we're proud of what we've got.

That was cute >.<

She did say "shrinkage" right? XD

[Eliteslayer]

Yep, that's what she said. ZomgRuler and I had some creative differences with how she should shout it. I thought it should be "Shriiiinkage!" to put more emphasis on the "shrink," while he thought it should be "Shrinkaaaage!" because it matched the lip movements more, but I insisted that even if that was the case, it made it impossible to hear the word "shrink" in there.

There's a long story behind a lot of the lines. Most of them involve me having a good idea and ZomgRuler having a bad one.

EDIT: Episode 2 is finally out! Check it out at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVFFrXrMZbQ
