Circle of Life Project

I just saw this message over at http://fanart.lionking.org/ and it looks to me like this might have some promise.

http://www.skysoldja.com/index.html

The site needs some work…

OK, a lot of work. Its hard to navigate, gives little to no info on where the project is right now. When you navigate to a page so that you can listen to music or sound bytes they all load at once, and there are a number of other problems I won’t get into.

What matters is the idea. Will it work? Is it a good idea? Is the script a good story?

The answers, I have no idea. I think its cool because its along the lines of what I’m working on. But, I don’t know…

The first scene of the script totally lost me. I think the reason being there is no summary. So all these new characters are introduced and I’m left in the dust asking, what? Who, what, and when is this all taking place?
Then I go and see all this great art, but again I’m left asking, WHAT!

A white lion? Tons of males? Nuka had a brother? And I have to ask, is Nuka really Scar’s son. Oh wait, wrong post…

Anyways, I’m going to try and read this script, but I don’t know how well I’ll do with that. I’ll hope I can finish it, but somehow I doubt it. They’ve made one big mistake, the story is set in the pride lands with lions as the main charectures. Thus we’ll always compare it to the first film. Because of this I think it will come short, by a long ways.

However, I wish them the best of luck and hope they can clean up the site so it will be easy to follow progress.

    The page has been updated recently.
    The navigation is better now.

    I thought most of the same things the first time I saw the site, but read it all the way through. Try to picture each scene in your mind and hopefully you can see it for what it is.

    It adds some new mythology to the tLK universe, and adds on the the whole circle of life phylosophy (hence the title).

    You have to admit the writing is great, and they’re getting together a really talented and dedicated team. This early in production, I think we’re just gonna have to take their word for it that it will work., it’ll all come together.

    Also, at least the while lioness doesn’t have wings anymore ;)
