My Humble Request

Fahnette's picture
I have asked for and received Michael and Auriea's blessing to do The Endless Forest Ballet, and Auriea suggested I ask all of the Forest Dwellers if you have any ideas for music, costume, story ideas... we plan on crediting all contributors accordingly and since this is where the idea was born, this is where it should begin to grow. SO! If you have any ideas, send me a message through the link to our studio website in my profile. This ballet will belong to all of us. Thank you so much... love to all!

This...This is AMAZING!

This...This is AMAZING! Laughing out loud
I'll see what I can ideas I can think up.

edit: I was thinking a good idea, story wise, could be the story of a fawn's first time in the forest. I think that way, the audience could share in the main fawn's wonder and awe without needing to know anything about The Forest before hand!

I can't stop shaking, I'm so excited!!
My director/Mum and I agree that the bulk of the ideas need to come from the Forest. Sets, costumes, stories, music, whatever you can think up!
Oh, and include your deer's name. I plan on providing a list of contributors' deer names to the dancers so they can pick who they will honor in the Ballet.

An endless forest ballet?

An endless forest ballet? That sounds amazing! Do you have a particular story line? C:


2 Months! ~Schadels' Bio~Mikas' Bio~Aberrants' Bio~ Lorrels' Bio~

8D A costume based on the TEF sets would be epic...Like, the Monarch Butterfly set. -shot-
Also, I have like...6 deer xD So I'll "donate" Taliene.

Oh this is an amazing idea!

Oh this is an amazing idea! Sounds as though it will be absolutely lovely! Were you planning a storyline in the ballet or just a show of daily forest life?

And feel free to use any of my deer if you would like. I would be beyond honored. ^_^ Click

Exactly the plan. Five or

Exactly the plan. Five or six little stories like a morning nature walk or the day you woke up and found you had antlers (more of a silly dance, I think, I know I ran around putting flowers on mine all day when I turned one-month and got my antlers) or a fawn's first day running around his/her new home. I love the stories about meeting new fawns for the first time and guiding them around.

This is our Ballet! Let your ideas fly!

I'll try to do some set costume sketches over the next few days! I still have no idea how you'd include antlers though o_o that's going to take some serious brainstorming me thinks.

Oh! Like a little bunch of short stories? That would be awesome. ^_^ One way you could pull off antlers is to incorporate them into a sort of forest themed hat. Or branches decorated and twirled into the dancers hair. Though that would be a bit more troublesome.

Someone posted a picture somewhere of an artists work that had a lady with antlers. I'll see if I can find it again. It may help you get some ideas. ^_^

A TEF ballet? That sounds wonderful!

I don't know much about ballet, but the costumes could be set based, like some others said before. I think the fact they are human-faced is a good thing ^^
For music? Something peaceful, magical and forest like for most scenes. And other music ofcourse, depending on how the story goes. I'm glad it's a ballet by the way, because in game the deer do not speak, so this is the perfect way to express the beauty of the Forest.

I hope everything works out! <3

This is so wonderful...

This is so wonderful... thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart and Fahnette's.
Mum said that what makes the Forest so special is that the Art contained in it is not just created by the developers, but the participants. That's what makes it truly remarkable and that's how we want to treat the Ballet--as a giant collaboration.

So many stories!
Fawn's First Day (I've already got the Fawn cast in my head)
Morning Nature Walk
Antlers
Down In The River (inspired by a picture of a Water Dance posted by JesusFreak3... and I suddenly have the idea for the music... "Down To The River To Pray" sung live by a Children's Choir... hey JF3, what's your deer's name?)

Set up a blog for ideas and updates and such.
