Zaarin Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 I think a movie for The Dig would be great, they could even cast the original game voices for some of the cast. However, a computer game would go down almost as well. Here's hoping. They still haven't announced their adventure sequel yet, have they?
GreenJeanz Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 I hope nobody tries to make a Dig movie, cause that's what I want to do if I ever become an animator. It's my dream.
Schmatz Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 Why must it be animated? I think real people would be better.
Snubs Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 Although, CG would be very handy to create such other-worldly vistas. Hehehe, I just love those little guys.
Zaarin Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 It really wouldn't be very hard to make a dig movie, if they kept it close to the game, as most of the sets are quite small and the large areas could just be computer generated.
GreenJeanz Posted April 13, 2002 Posted April 13, 2002 I'm an artist. I draw. I want to animate. Henceforth, if I made a Dig movie, it would be animated. I'm not talking disney-style animation or animation geared towards children. I mean quasi-anime-style without the cuteness and more realism.
Zaarin Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Daffy with a scar across his eye and Bugs with an ear torn off and stubble. I can see it already.
GreenJeanz Posted April 14, 2002 Posted April 14, 2002 Errr..that's an interesting and also incorrect way of putting it. No. I meant with the sleekness and angularity of anime, with anime mouths and hair(Not like spiky and poofy but shaded and defined the anime way), but with regular sized eyes and realistic noses. Serious anime melded with the Dig cutscene style, in other words.
Schmatz Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 Why not animate it the same way as the cutscenes from the Dig? Hello?
Snubs Posted April 18, 2002 Posted April 18, 2002 ...That was too obvious of a solution. Thanks for slapping me on the face with it though. 7:42 in the morning and I already feel stupid...OFF TO A GOOD START!
GreenJeanz Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Originally posted by Schmatz Why not animate it the same way as the cutscenes from the Dig? Hello? I said it would be half like the cutscenes and half like my own style, if I ever did it. *sighs* Maybe I should give up the idea of ever making a Dig movie considering nobody likes my idea.
Snubs Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 It's not your idea that nobody likes GreenJeanz it's you that nobody likes.
Schmatz Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 Wow... what an Ozzie...(Snubs that is) hey, the idea is OK, but that's because you like the anime look. So do I, but I know that the Dig REALLY would look bad anime-ish. Sorry :/
Snubs Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 I myself am partial to Luney Tunes style animation, as you may have inferred by now. You just can't beat watching a duck getting his bill blown clean round his head. Or a coyote falling into a 2 mile deep canyon for that matter. "Where is the Earth shattering kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth shattering kaboom!" Classic. If you don't know who said that, I spit on you you un-cultured swine!
Zaarin Posted April 19, 2002 Posted April 19, 2002 http://tksoft.50g.com: These guys have been planning a fan made Dig sequel for ages. Perhaps everyone could either help, or give them support.

So do I, but I know that the Dig REALLY would look bad anime-ish. Sorry :/ Honestly, I don't want to sound grumpy, but nobody has really been listening to me. I said anime style-eyes, but not large ones. Small. Small anime eyes. There IS such a thing. Semi-anime style mouths, but not really. Anime shaded and defined hair. But not poofy hair. Or spikey hair. Or big hair. The hair the way it looks in the Dig cutscenes, but shaded like anime. Noses drawn the same way as in the cutscenes. I wasn't talking about fullout anime here. I know that would look absurd. Especially Boston. Ick! I'm talking about a style which is identifiable as anime but yet not really. Angular and defined and shaded like anime, but NOT anime in the traditional sense.
Schmatz Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 wow... you made me want to punch a hole in the wall.... so you want anime, but NOT anime. I get the eyes part, and the hair shading as in that shiney area of the hair, but it's really not needed if you just use the cutscene animation... that would make a great movie... then again, what would the plot be?
Snubs Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 No, you don't punch walls you headbut them. Go stud huntin'. But anyway. I think it would be cool just to mix and match the best parts of the game and book then slap 'em on a piece if film. But then again, it doesn't take much to make me happy so that probably sounds a whee bit thin.
GreenJeanz Posted April 21, 2002 Posted April 21, 2002 I was thinking it'd be The Dig, as in the plot to the game, but with choice elements of the book, as Snubs said, and also with my own ideas and the background info from the strategy guide.
thomas_a Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 itd be cool as a comic book. amybe i wil do that when i get bored?
