The arc was written as 5 separate episodes. While not edited yet, I can send them to you, and maybe you can say the best way to approach this.
Ok, let's see if we can get this thing moving. I have already sent a PM to the writing consultants, but we need to start thinking about casting. What would be the best appoarch here? Right now, we just need the actors in the sample scene, but what would be the best way to cast them?
I tend to find doing things by montage makes for a quick and easy process.
I was considering that, but I don't have enough Ronway Bombs for the special effects.
What about utilizing Google+? Do we know who should be the casting director(s)? How involved does >G want to be with this process?
I have looked over jffdougan's links, and I put the sample scene in a more standard format. Although, I haven't done anything with the music yet.
I can;t believe I just saw this.
Nope.
[quote="Reckless"]How involved does >G want to be with this process?
[/quote]I have asked them that, and at the very least they want to approve the final script. Other than that, it is up to us.
Haven't looke over the whole thing, but I think line number 8, Dana's dialogue, needs to say, "Could you please," Instead of "Could please you".
@Foote
I'm not sure what sound effects libraries you have access to, but this one just came out and it looks right up the alley for this project.

Thanks very much! I will be sure to check this out
Status on this? I have access to a very high-end recording studio, and I may be able to find someone to do some VO. I know one lady in particular who would LOVE to give her voice to this project.
Things are still happening. Foote and Pydro are currently the main people discussing production and edition. You should probably send a PM to Pydro if you want to know the status or want to be more directly involved with the project.
This sounds like such a hilarious project. I do NOT know how I managed to miss this thread so far, but it probably has something to do with never having checked out the Fan Fiction forum before.
Anyway, if this happens, I wanna help (if I can in any way- I have a BA in Theatre and an MA in Writing and a freakishly deep voice).
If you want to be involved with the writing, you can just PM me and I can show you what Meerkat and I have written so far.
If we have some organization as far as voice actors and recording equipment, couldn't we just ask Greater Than Games if we have permission to perform the Freedom Four Annual with sound effects and full voice-over?
Hey everybody, so the radio play project has more or less died, and that makes me sad. I would like to try and get this thing going again. Reckless and I talked a bit about adapting the Freedom Four annual as a way to start off the Radio Play project. Christopher said it was okay. I have finished a rough draft for the script, but am editing it to try and make it closer to Radio Play format.
So the characters for this are: Baron Blade, Legacy, Bunker, General Armstrong, Tachyon, Wraith, and a Narrator. We'll need someone to edit, and put in sound effects and music. I don't know who all Pydro talked to about that. If anyone could and was willing to, we could also maybe to make a video that synchs up the audio with the visual panels of the comic. Doing this of course would reduce the part of the Narrator.
As for voice actors and auditions, 'm not going to worry about that too much until I've finished adapting the script. There are two ways we could do that. People on their own make recordings of the parts they want to play, or we could have auditions over Google plus. We'd probably have to use Google plus to see how two people sound together. As for the casting process itself, we will either need a casting director, or make a panel of about 3 people to make the final decision.
These are just some base thoughts I've been having about this. Like I said, I'd just kind of like to try and get the ball rolling on this again.
My guess is that the best sound quality will come from each person recording themself individually and then someone mixing the actors together. That also suggests no need to audition people together.
So here's what I have so far as a radio adaptation for the Freedom Four annual. The only real change is that I've added a Narrator to try and help frame the sequences together. I based the format off of what Pydro posted with the Tachyon scene earlier in the thread. If people like it and are still interested in working on the project, we might be able to get things moving.
Like it!
Me too! Great job!
