Approved: GTX Movie Nights

[Squirrel]

Now, to find a header. Someone has to make it. I think someone here has better idea of "graphics design"...

I can make a header, just tell me what you want :3

I've been requested to make a poll about which movies we should show, so here's the blog for it: https://www.pokecommunity.com/blog.php?b=14252 Hopefully their choices won't be too different to what we wanted to show, but if they're strongly against our selections then we should probably cater to their wants x]

Also I derped up on the emblems, forgot they're 80x80 not 100x100. Here's the new ones!

I'll do final names/descriptions tomorrow. As for the secret emblem, I suggest placing one of these images there. I've made an 80x80 and a 100x100 one in case we're keeping the original 100x100 images in the thread.

Well... I'm not great at graphics design, so... uh... I only know the size that it should be. Think something about... um, something that we can relate to the movies.

Looking great so far :)

I have a bit of a problem with the second movie choice, and I'm havig the computer on recovery. It should be all fine and dandy by Tuesday, though, but as for the second movie... I think I need to sub it out.

 

[Squirrel]

Alright, some updates! First up, here is the final list of movies we'll be showing (me and Olli decided it based on the blog, just say if you have any problems with it Twiggy):

Mewtwo Strikes Back
The Power of One
Lucario and the Mystery of Mew
The Rise of Darkrai
Pokémon the Movie: White - Victini and Zekrom

I'm working on the banner as we speak and then I'll sort out names/descriptions for the emblems. I'll post them shortly :)

Edit: How's this for a banner? Made it 700x200.

Or with the text centred:

Also I need to change the times I'm streaming. GTX is the week before uni so I shouldn't be staying up till 2am every day, so if I start streaming at 10pm GMT (5pm EST) then that'll be fine right? Then you guys can either move your times back 2 hours too to keep them in line, or keep them the same, up to you. But yeah, need to change mine :3

Edit 2: Also look back up at the emblems post, I've added descriptions for them all. I'm not ~too~ happy with the third emblem, any ideas to replace the Mewtwo bit?

Now you guys need to reply to all bits of this post and we need to finish off the thread design and then I think we're done!

 

[Legendary Silke]

I know! Since I couldn't find a good version of The Power of One, I think I'll try to look for The Rise of Darkrai, and sub out The Power of One with Zoroark. Sounds good?

Also, make the movie night description read "at least 5 movies".

 

[Olli]

I'm not sure you can just do that Twiggy xP I mean since we've kinda scheduled all the movies to certain days, I don't think you can just replace one movie with another, especially since it's one we aren't streaming, so that'd be unfair for those who do want to watch it but can't make it. You're free to stream Zoroark whenever you want outside of the scheduled times, just not replace it. And if you can't find the second movie, I guess we'll have to figure something out.

As for the emblems, I'm can't really think of anything for the description of the third one, but I guess it should be referencing more than one movie. And for the second emblem, I feel like the description would make it sound more like they've just watched the second movie, so maybe change the last part to "but at least you got to feel the power of one movie"?

OK. Let me clear this up for now.

OK, so I've got the movies for the Mewtwo, Lucario, Zoroark and Victini on my laptop right now, and I'm getting the Darkrai movie ready, too.

Zoroark won't be shown on your streams.

I can't find The Power of One for one reason or another.

I'm thinking of filling Wednesday's The Power of One with Zoroark: Master of Illusions instead.

 

[Olli]

Yeah I know, but I just don't think that'll be a good idea since that's not what we've planned. As I said, it'd be unfair for those who'd want to watch the Zoroark movie who wouldn't be able to make it to your stream, and it'd also be unfair for those who'd want to watch the Lugia movie, but can only make it to your stream, as well as it'd just be a bit cluttered, since we'd have to include the Zoroark movie in the "movies being shown" part, just for that single stream. As I said, feel free to stream the Zoroark movie outside of the streams, just not at time. I don't know what we do about you not being able to find the Lugia movie though.

Maybe it's time for me to take a look-see on another source. Probably will come up with something tomorrow.

We both managed to find it and it works perfectly, so you definitely will be able to :) But I agree with Olli, I'm strongly against having different movies in the stream, it would be completely organised and like Olli said, people may be put at a disadvantage for either movie. Feel free to stream the Zorua movie outside of the official times (like on Tuesday or Thursday if you want?), but I'd be much more comfortable with it not being an official part of the event.

Huh.

I did find something! :D

Hope I don't end up with a fake.

 

[blue]

Just wondering, are you still taking suggestions for movies? or are they all lined up now.

They're all lined up now sorry, there was a blog post about it a few days ago for voting x]

 

[blue]

No problem, the ones that you have planned are great anyway. ^^

 

[Squirrel]

Twiggy you need to be on IRC more! I spoke to Olli and we're both moving our streams back 2 hours due to uni, so I don't know if you want to do the same or not to keep in line with our's, but just something to think about :3

All that needs doing is finishing off the thread design, so just say if there's a way for us to help with that since it needs finishing soon :3 The background needs to me done, the banner needs inserting, instructions need adding, we need a description and stuff, the secret emblem image needs inserting, and yeah - I'm going to try do that stuff now on my own but your CSS is so complicated that I can't work out what's what x.x I'll try editing some bits and post an updated copy below in a few minutes.

GTX Movie Nights!

What to do? Times?

Instructions for users to get on the stream

Notice: It's a very good idea to get on the stream at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. Some ads can take forever to stream completely due to bandwidth lag!

Click here to enter the live stream channel for Movie Nights!

We'll be streaming at 7 PM for UTC-5. UTC0, and UTC+8. Within a day, all streaming sessions will show the same movie, so that everyone has a chance to watch all movies if they want to do so. We'll be streaming during the week of the event, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with each movie every day in chronological order.

Note: 2000 will not be shown on Twiggy's stream due to technical difficulties.

What we're showing?

Pokémon - The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back

Ash Ketchum and his friends are tricked into visiting New Island, an island ruled by a mutant Pokémon, Mewtwo. There, they find out about Mewtwo's plans to clone their Pokémon and destroy the world, and a massive battle follows between the clones and the originals—including the "original" counterpart to Mewtwo: Mew.

Pokémon the Movie 2000 - The Power of One

Ash Ketchum and his friends visit Shamouti Island, the centerpoint of culture in the Orange Islands, just in time for their annual festival in honor of the Chosen One spoken of in legends who would save the world when Lugia's song was not enough to quell the fighting Legendary birds. But when the meddling of a self-named "Pokémon Collector" causes the legendary birds to begin fighting, will the Chosen One appear in time to help Lugia?

Lucario and the Mystery of Mew

Ash's Pikachu is taken to the Tree of World's Beginning by a wild Mew. To get Pikachu back, Ash must now team up with a legendary Lucario from many years past, but with Lucario still bitter about the hero who sealed him away, Ash and friends must discover the hero's true intentions.

The Rise of Darkrai

While touring Alamos Town, home of the Space-Time Tower, Ash and his friends discover that the town's special garden has been ruined. Baron Alberto, a dashing but arrogant fellow, blames Darkrai for the destruction. He describes Darkrai as a demon haunting the park. Just who is Darkrai? Is he a fiend... or a friend in disguise? And, as a battle between Legendary Pokemon Dialga and Palkia rages directly above Alamos Town-and threatens to tear a hole in the space-time continuum- will Ash and his friends survive this showdown and learn Darkrai's true nature?

White—Victini and Zekrom

Ash, Iris and Cilan arrive in Eindoak Town, a village where the descendants of a race known as the People of the Vale live, to participate in a battle tournament. They meet the Victory Pokémon, Victini, and learn of its deep connection to the history of the People of the Vale and their land. However, when Damon, a man aiming to use the castle known as the Sword of the Vale to restore his people's kingdom to its former glory, captures Victini to move his plan forward, he sets in motion a chain of events that threaten to destroy not only Eindoak Town but the entire world.

Extras!

We'll be also showing some abridged videos or music videos, depending on the stream, before and after the movie showing proper.

Emblem description

Edit: Okay I tried my best but I really hate working with your CSS ;; I managed to work out how to insert the banner and make it so it wasn't covering the white border and then increase the border to cover it, now I'll try the rest.

Edit: I have no idea at all how to add the secret emblem image, you'll need to do that Twiggy. Edited the Zoura movie box title to Darkrai, finding a synopsis of the plot now.

Edit: I looked for a background but couldn't find one so for now it's a strawberry, enjoy! Blade was helping with design and suggested a movie reel effect going along the post which sounds amazing but I don't know how to do it :p Tbh it might just look better as a single colour. At any rate I've removed the "find a background image" bit at the top because it was annoying me. :D

So basically Twiggy do you mind finishing off the thread design from here? We'll help with content if you need it (I'm not sure there's much left to add) but I'm not able to do the design well enough :p

 

[Legendary Silke]

Nice hotlinked image there, huh? I'll take my own thread CSS and edit it as you say. Hmm...

I'll be streaming at 9 PM, too. I'm not able to get on IRC for some reason right now - keeps timing out.

 

[Squirrel]

Looks good! So all that's left to do is a "Sorta-long-winded-description"? I'll write that up later tonight and then you can edit in and we should be finished! :D Just make sure there's nothing we've forgotten... I can't think of anything, can you guys?

Btw I edited the emblem descriptions based on what Olli said so go check if they're okay :D

Edit: "We'll be streaming at 9 PM for UTC-5. UTC0, and UTC+8." <-- this needs changing to be made simpler. I suggest using GMT rather than UTC as I just asked in a chat room and although they're the same time, only one person knew what UTC meant. :p Also we aren't streaming at 9PM (at least me and Olli aren't), when I said move them back two hours, that makes it 5PM :3 Olli will be streaming at 6PM his time (so 5PM GMT+0), I'm streaming at 10PM my time (5PM GMT-5), so when will you be streaming Twiggy?

 

[Legendary Silke]

I think I'll be streaming at 8 PM as that's probably the most convenient time for me to start streaming. My time, of course. Are you factoring in DST?

Also, Ozzy, the post I'll get ready tomorrow as I'm in bed. Might want to repost emblem descriptions here, top.

 

[Squirrel]

But there's not really much point having a stream then since that's noon GMT... I don't understand why you moved your time later when we said to do it earlier :s Aren't you able to stream at 5PM GMT+8? That would be much much much more convenient if you are able to. If not then even the original time would be better, but I really don't get why it's been moved forward :s

Olli said he'd do the description in IRC so that's all we need now. I've just received my uni timetable though and it's unlikely I'll be able to stream Saturday/Sunday. If possible one of you guys will need to cover them for me, but if not it's okay since GMT-5 people should be awake for Olli's stream if we make it clear :p
