Trina Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 Can I just say, I thought this was going to be a graphic novel...as in....porn. Yeah.
minorty13 Posted August 8, 2010 Posted August 8, 2010 This sounds really great! I'd love to be a part of it! I've done some interpretive artwork based on a few songs so being included in this would be amazing!
JohannaRaeRamone. Posted August 8, 2010 Author Posted August 8, 2010 Yeah I think Dookie would be awesome to do. If I think about it there could be a loose story line. First there's this guy who's burnt out, bored and doesn't really like his friends. (Burnout - Longview) He decides to leave his home and live somewhere else (Welcome to Paradise) where he meets new people, makes new friends and has some new experiences. (Pulling Teeth - When I come around). When he's coming clean to them (Coming Clean) about something (open for interpretation) he realizes that his new friends are as bad as his old ones (Emenius Sleepus, In The End) and basically curses everyone and everything. (F.O.D.) Well, not exactly a happy ending... but whatever. Yeah, pretty cool! I don't think it has to be a happy ending, happy endings kinda suck anyway. We can just have a Green Day ending. Can I just say, I thought this was going to be a graphic novel...as in....porn. Yeah. Ahahahah, well no, but I'm sure that could be arranged too. Yeah! But the problem is, I think that it's going to be vary hard to plan. Ehhh yes, very difficult indeed. I think we stick to one for now and mabye thing about such a grand project later, maybe incoperating the work already done then. do you guys know what are you finally going to do? I wanna help Hmmm, well I'd like to let the poll and thread run a bit longer just to give more ideas a chance. I'm not sure what we'll pick, all 4 albums would do really well and if you consider that the last 2 haven't been up as long they're all really close in votes. What is your opinion?
Trina Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Ahahahah, well no, but I'm sure that could be arranged too. No but really, this sounds so awesome. I wont take part because I suck but It'll be cool to see the final outcome.
Jenny95 Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 sounds great and would surely be fun but i'm not sure if i could draw human good enough
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Sounds like a great idea! I really like the idea of doing Insomniac, I think that album is ideal for something like this. I mean, it won't string together in one big story, but the songs all have stories of their own, that way it won't be dragging on like you'll risk with doing an album like American Idiot, and because it's all different things, you can attempt a lot of different things. I don't know if I might take part, but either way, great idea!
Comedy & Tragedy Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I like Nele's idea, and the insomniac thing too I could do some crummy-looking chibis if you wish But I probably won't, leave it to the good guys.
cartoonjunkie Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 I'd LOVE to be apart of this!!! But I think that we should make a novel using a song from every album and having them intertwine with each other... For example: '16' from 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours - Our main character has just turned 16 and is realizing that he can't stay a child forever, so he wanders around looking for something that will help guide him through the rest of his life... '2000 Light Years Away' from Kerplunk - That's when the main character stumbles upon a girl that he soon falls in love with and they run away together... 'Welcome to Paradise' from Dookie - They find a place to live. It may not be all sunshine and flowers, but they make do there... 'Brain Stew/Jaded' from Insomniac - The girl then gives birth to a child, after that the main character begins to fall under stress, then seeks to relieve himself though marijuana... 'Redundant' from Nimrod - After a while, the main character starts to think about his life, and realizes how repetitive every day has become... 'Minority' from Warning - Our main character then finally decides to break free from the normal routine and begins to do his own thing to which the girl does not feel is right... 'Ha Ha You're Dead' from Shenanigans - The main character then throws away everything that used to be him, turning into someone completely different... 'Holiday' from American Idiot - He then goes out and begins to wreak havoc upon the town, revolting against everything that he once used to be apart of... 'Letterbomb' from American Idiot - The girl finally becomes fed up with the main characters actions, she then takes her child and leaves him... 'Know Your Enemy' from 21st Century Breakdown - The main character is now left to wonder who he is, what he's become, and who the real enemy is... 'Last Night on Earth' from 21st Century Breakdown - After much time has past, the main character finally realizes what he's done, and tries to amend the wrongs, searching for the woman he once loved... 'Last of the American Girls' from 21st Century Breakdown - The main character finds the place where his love now resides, but only to find another girl living there. He learns that she is his daughter, and that his love had passed away... '21 Guns' from 21st Century Breakdown - The main character then falls to his knees, asking his daughter for forgiveness, ready to give up his former life to start anew... _____ And that's all I got, off the top of my head... If you have any thoughts or think something should be changed, please reply or IM me on skype: cartoonjunkie1 Oh, and here's a LINK to some of my artwork of Green Day... I'd love to draw a few pages for this!!! Thank You, ~CJ♥
Spastic Socialite Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 1. I like green day 2. I like /am good at drawing/painting/photographing/computer graphics 3.i like GDC so... to me... this sounds like a pretty good idea

JohannaRaeRamone. Posted August 10, 2010 Author Posted August 10, 2010 sounds great and would surely be fun but i'm not sure if i could draw human good enough Uhmmmm are you good at buildings? Scenery? I'm sure we could find you something! Also we are making room for photography, or you can even photomanip pictures together in an artsy way.
st.idiot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 i was wondering if i could help with the storyline/story/storyboard or like the characters or something because i can't draw lol.
Kayfabe Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I would do this but I can't draw or use any of those ~programs
JohannaRaeRamone. Posted August 10, 2010 Author Posted August 10, 2010 can i make the cover ? You sure maybe possibly can! Haha, we'll have to see who else wants to do the cover too.

st.idiot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 schweeeeeeeeeet. i feel honored!! and sure i'll work on some ideas tomorrow-should i work on anything specific or continue on my dookie idea?
JohannaRaeRamone. Posted August 10, 2010 Author Posted August 10, 2010 schweeeeeeeeeet. i feel honored!! and sure i'll work on some ideas tomorrow-should i work on anything specific or continue on my dookie idea? Hmm well I wish I knew what idea we were gonna do but there have been so many good ideas! GAAAAH! If you would like to develop your Dookie line more that'd be cool. I think I am going to add +10 to the idea contenders that weren't up the whole time and then just let what the poll says be our first idea. I have no idea how to pick one otherwise...
st.idiot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 will do. and i remember you're telling me not to quite mirror the band's life growing up so ill try to mix it up here and there and make it my own. i can't to wake up and then work on this =). soooo should i put all my ideas on here or should i email you. or are we not at the emailing stage yet.

I'm so glad you're excited about this! It's gonna be awesome!!! Well for the sake of everybody reading them and thinking about doing Dookie put them on here to share. I'll make a special email adress for this later though!
st.idiot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 yay!!! i'm excited too!! and i meant to say i can't wait to wake up tomorrow lol. aklsdfjal;sd i feel super duper awesome for doing this lol
JohannaRaeRamone. Posted August 10, 2010 Author Posted August 10, 2010 yay!!! i'm excited too!! and i meant to say i can't wait to wake up tomorrow lol. aklsdfjal;sd i feel super duper awesome for doing this lol Haha it's Green Day related, of course it makes you awesome! But seriously, this could be a very cool project if all of the creative talent I know lurks in the community put our efforts together. I was thinking we could even sell actual copies of it on one of the little self-publishing sites if it comes out nice and all the legalities are in line.
st.idiot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 lol getting the story is one thing but all the legalities is another. you count me out on that bit hahaha but yea thad be great if it was actually put out.

Yeah, it would be strictly for our own purpose, like the GDC shirts and wristbands, but legalities are big mean and scary...
st.idiot Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 just like monkey penis =ppp hahaha sorry. but yes it is.
