Don added another quick update to the "fan reel" story this morning:

 

The chosen DVD will NOT be given to the writers, director or execs, all of whom were given box sets of the entire series when we started.

 

It is a summation/primer.

 

You won't affect content in ANY way.

 

And you are only using copyrighted material so you are not creating anything original.

 

What you are doing is creating a tool that will be useful.

I don't think I follow...

 

...If it's not going to affect content in any way, then what exactly is it a tool for?

It's a reference tool for all departments.

 

But it's not gonna effect the content of the script, is how I read that.

 

It's not gonna get rewritten to include moments from the reel.

 

Just because Megatron appears as a gun in the reel, doesn't mean people are gonna change the designs accordingly.

 

But it will mean people can get a feel for the character and tone and the mythos as a whole.

i still dont see what makes Hero specific to Transformers

 

i agree it was an EXCELLENT "Hero-story" using TF characters.....

But there was nothing that i remember about it that displays what TFs are all about- better than anything else....

 

to that end - The transmetals bits and Transmutae have better representations of the core idea of TF

Transmutate was the worst Beast Wars episode.

the "tool" is the guy who works his ass off on a reel only to have it mean nothing...

Yep.

See the post I made above.

 

Or just read the thread on dm.net.

 

Here's what Don said a few posts ago...

 

"I still think I was clear

picture this

 

Production Designer comes along and says "WTF is Transformers- I am not a fan"

I want them to watch the tape and say "Okay I have a better idea"

 

That's the concept"

 

It's an information tool.

 

It's not an "adjust the script so the movie must have these moments in it" tool.

 

I just pointed Don over here as an example of a board where the discussion about the reel has been very positive.

 

And it has been.

 

keep it up!

Still one of my favorites - and my point was that it has more to do with the core idea of a Transformer (and the difference between bots and cons) than Hero does.  Hero simply tells a heroic story - the fact that these are robots that TF into animals or cars or whatever was completely irrelevant to the story of "Code".

 

Wheras it has every thing to do with the story of Transmutate and Transmetals
