Hey im Minefriek an I recently learned to use blender and since im new i thought i might as well do something big and get the community involved. I just would like to know if there is any interest in the community for an actual minecraft movie thats not the short and often brilliant animations you get on youtube, but a long and truely unique movie at least an hour long movie of minecraft. All properly modelled and animated using free open source software. And another question is would the community get involved?
The eventual release of the movie would be put on youtube or some other place where people can access it for free because im not interested in making money or earning a living off of this and neither should whoever helps me. In my opinion it should be the work of the entire minecraft community and reflect everything we love about the game.
In conclusion i simply cannot do this on my own and i want to know if the community would like to get involved?
this makes barley any sense how do you make u minecraft movie. theres no story. trust me theres better games that should get movies before minecraft, what do we love about the game so its going to be about mining stuff and the most annoying fan base ever in a game

i think we should all use common sense and logic when we answer and ask a question but always stay open minded
just cause science fails to explain something does not mean its real (afterlife,big foot, ghosts etc..) does not mean its fake try to stay opened mined instead of closed
I think there is a lot of potential in Minecraft for a full on Hollywood movie. Plot is simple, guy wakes up in a strange world and learns that he has to defeat a dragon to get home. The rest of the movie kind of writes itself from how people have learned how the play the game over the years, add in some clues in villages to tell the main character what he has to do and presto you have a great action survival movie.

That's a pretty great idea. Of course, it might have to be animated, but a full on realistic movie wouldn't be so bad either.
It sounds like an interesting idea. Would you have the characters be animated or use actual player characters. All kinds of people watch minecraft videos, I'm sure they would watch a movie LOL. Just keep it PG because there are a million kids out there watching.
I was looking into Blender, and it seems alright..On a difficulty scale of 1 to 10, it's around a 7. Kind of hard...
Well, I'll be glad to help out in any way... Character design, Script Writer (I'm actually studying to be a Script Writer), Voice Recording..What ever is needed, my friend.
However, like stated in an above comment, this is going to take several months, maybe even years..So we are going to need a dedicated team.
Ok to answer everyones questions I plan to animate the whole thing and I understood from the start I'd need a dedicated team. Im happy for any help people will provide. I wasnt really planning on making it anything other than PG if not lower Tehshutur I'd be happy for your help. Pm me your email and we can get started.
And in case anyone is interested I actually didnt have a plan for the plot just yet. I was hoping there would be an interest just so I knew there was a chance the movie would be a big hit
If you make a Minecraft movie and upload it to YouTube I can guarantee it will hit the 10 million views.
I can help you with the project, but it needs proper organization. Honestly, I don't believe your project will go too far the way it is now. You should make a topic with more detail, the names of all collaborators, the positions needed, etc.
What can I help you with?
1. Dubbing (adding my voice to the characters). I'm not a native speaker but my pronunciation is very good (IMO).
2. Help with the main plot (maybe secondary plots too?)
3. I can help with the animation. I don't know how to use Blender, but I know the basics of Cinema 4D.
4. I can upload the movie to my YT channel (/TheFranMG) and subtitle it in Spanish.
5. Maybe I can help with the script if you want.
Cya and good luck!

A movie needs something more to be good. The plot shouldn't be something everyone knows already. You need an ongoing struggle, characters, personality development. Shadow of Israphel could have been something like this, but it seems Yogscast didn't know how to round out the story and it fell apart. I think a Herobrine type story could be written that would be compelling. Or take the plot of something like PaulSoaresJr's man vs minecraft and extend it. Basically, you have a home, disaster drives you away and you work to come back.
These are all great suggestions and they are allreally helpful. you have all shown me that there is interest in a minecraft movie so i have decided screw it im going to make it. I have made a new post asking for help as per a good suggestion by someone who offered to help and has been pm'd but hasnt replied yet.
It basically outlines what i will do and goes into more detail about what I intend to do.
if your willing to help then go there and get the lowdown on it and if you cant help then please spread the word about it to generate some hype about it. Maybe grab the attention of a certain Bebop Vox?
Yes, I think the community would be very interested actually. I'm not sure if many or few would help, but I know from personal experience narrow-minded people will comment and not understand the idea (pretty much like the first reply.)
I don't know if I can contribute and until I started writing this I wasn't planning to. However I have thought in the past about doing a log from when I start a new world and until I defeat the ender dragon. I believe this is how the movie would work. An actual story of how you progress through the game, rather than a normal storyline.
Now, if you want I can give feedback on ideas and come up with details which overall fit your idea. I'm a creative writing student and am currently working on 2 movies, 2 books, 1 game and 1 anime.

I'd LOVE a Minecraft movie, centering around Steve waking up in a strange world, and going on a quest to slay the Ender Dragon to save the world from its evil. Secondary roles could include his Wolf/Pig/Horse/Cat, the villagers, and obviously the various mobs. I imagine only Steve, the Wither, the Ender Dragon, the Villager's and Witch's would actually talk. (The wither could have a deep, commanding, super duper evil voice, and the dragon should have a female semi-creepy voice)
The eventual release of the movie would be put on youtube or some other place where people can access it for free because im not interested in making money or earning a living off of this and neither should whoever helps me. In my opinion it should be the work of the entire minecraft community and reflect everything we love about the game.

.......someone contact Pixar with the idea.
