@lazarus07- as far as I understand it, this serves as a backbone and aptly titled Animation Script. If you are looking for a screenplay, (which have the "action" written in the present tense and the "dialogue",lines the characters speak) sorry,we are not there yet.

The big difference between a live action script and one for animation is writing the action descriptions. These have to be very clear and concise so that the animator illustrating your script knows exactly what to draw. Animation scripts are an integral part of developing Animated films. They describe which character animations to play and when to switch between animations. These scripts are often written in text editors which can be an error-prone task since there are multiple variables and conditions that needs to be understood, and text editors gives no indication of how animations are linked together.

The genesis of this Animation script stems from discussion inputs so much so that the historical content and the "flashback" treatment were fruits gathered by the script's author in order to make them useful for this community project. The author who is also a Literary Professor of the best school in the Philippines justifies the insertion of comic characters as relief.(On a personal note: They,the comic characters, could also reflect how most of us treat history.) As a relief, they are a way of reaching out to a larger and younger audience of Animated films. Think of Grade 1 pupils; then think of a very violent event- do they go together?

Hope I help.

Ohkay... That was alot... I didn't come across the age approach for the movie so I thought of a more serious and "visual" theme. As to my position to the author itself, I have no other choice but to agree, I suppose... It is his forte as a Literary Professor, even if we have the same alma mater. I'll just help with the screenplay writing... Could do some voice acting maybe...

An Honest Opinion...

I dont think maganda ang script at masasabi ko hindi masaya ang storyline...

Come on guyz...napipicture ko ang outcome nito ay senseless hack en slash...

If you are going to stick on historical setting please stay away from the serious stuff...
focus on Humor... yung morals/lessons gawin nyo lng palaman...

@moogsydodong= if you think you can write a better script, then let us see it. And please take time to see how the project developed with the community in mind. We appreciate efforts, contribution and production relatively.

It's been a year since the last post. If we ever finish the Buko project then we can start on the Papaya project.
