Thank you Ziggy for your great work on our first short "Story".

Chapter 1 is "Brad"

I am beyond-impressed that you did this in less than 2 days. You're a true, talented gem.

Really appreciated your efforts and how you dug me out of the hole.

Maybe it will do so well we'll look to animate the whole movie. So far feedback has been great - really positive comments/praise.

Perhaps his 180-turn will turn out to be a blessing in disguise?

All the best to you and all the Muvizuers!

I wondered about that message...

I'm just finishing my sweary opus, and will get back you next week about other dump lines.

Hello Muvizuers,

Happy New Year,... Geez it's nearly the dreaded Valentine's Day - LOL.

Are there any willing creators out there?

I really need some new lines...

Five are now live on the SYBD channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/sybd

One, the line that inspired SYBD, is on the landing page at soyouvebeendumped.com. That may changed to a rotating player when I can work out what my colleague here has done with PHP for me!

If you're willing to create one, then please email me -- as I forget to check Private Messages here (sorry Ziggy! Just read yours from December!)....

During my trip to Muvizu HQ last month, it was suggested that animations were longer so I would consider doing some of the "stories" rather than the lines. These tend to be a few sentences longer than the break up lines....Up to seven or 8 sentences...Still less than a minute as a guess?

Thanks in advance,

Cali

Thanks to ZiggyStardust7272 for today's #4 line: http://soyouvebeendumped.com/blog/?p=2126

He just made it, voiced it and sent it to me - I had no idea he was even doing it - and voila - One Take!

Impressive hon! Both the animation and your initiative too!

Need a few more done, if anyone fancies a shot, so we can have them ready come January/February time.

Thank you and happy holidays to y'all.

Sadly no line for this week! ......Hopefully next week....?

Be good to get a few folks making some and then we can just have a "bank" of them that can be posted weekly. It would also spread the burden around a bit. Really appreciating what's been done so far...

Praying a few more folks will come forward... :-)

Cheers

Ha ha, I know right, Claire. Priceless...One of the next one's a real favorite of mine. You're going to love it.

I am back here hoping some more people will come forward and do one or two.

Ziggy and Gordon have done great on the first three...anyone fancy rolling up their sleeves and giving it a bash...? Hmmmm,...?

I've a few chestnuts left to get animated still...(few hundred that is)! Ha ha.

Thanks in advance.

PS: Loving that you're mayor of your work Claire - what a hoot. Hmm, I am at mine too, come to think of it Will pop in and see you guys in the next week or so. Hopefully! White stuff permitting

@ KerryK Thankyou!

CaligalUK and I had to have a bit of a discussion on how many dead dogs are funny, or not, before we decided on just the one... I wanted heaps! (she was right in the end though). Nice job by Mike too, the guy who did the line.

Wanted to update all you wonderful...

The second animation is now live:

http://soyouvebeendumped.com/blog/?p=2003

Done by ZiggyStardust and voiced by a fellow former colleague/radio presenter - Mike Wilson.

We have one more in the making and then nada.

So if anyone else wants to do one - I'd really love to hear from you using my "info" address ad the website.

Many thanks and happy Friday y'all.

Hey Again

Big, big thanks for MR G for doing the first animation break up line for me.

I thought I might entice someone to animate this next line, as it's a hoot (and no this one wasn't used on me, I can assure you...)

"Don't get me wrong, I really love your boobs, but I thought they were real...now that I know they're fake I can't be with someone that shallow."

I think that line would lend itself well to being animated.

Does anyone agree and want to tackle it?

Let me know.

Thanks y'all.

Hello!

Thank you all so much for the input/feedback/comments and funnies!

Sorry for not getting back on here sooner - had a meeting with MovieCom.TV this morning (btw Muvizu folks I suggested they get in touch with you! Might be great to collaborate for both you guys), and then went straight to a networking event in Glasgow at the Thistle (where I also plugged this talented community!)

Anyway - could anyone who's up for doing a break-up line animation just send me an email with your interest, contact details, and perhaps the line you'd like to do?

And can someone get one to me be Friday and we can do it as a Friday Afternoon Fun thing? Is that doable?

Maybe what we'll do is do it for a set period of time (say 3 months) - get the visitors to vote for their favorite one and then I'll give a prize or a bit of CA$H. (Just talking off the top of my head now...)

Thanks so much to those of you who've offered to do one. I really appreciate it.

Get in touch if you're interested.

PROJECT:

1) < 20 second animation

2) Using SYBD Break Up Line (I will just let you guys pick a line from one on the list that you think you can get creative with instead of assigning some to you that might not resonate). I do have thousands of lines which I can discuss with people on the phone.

3) We need all types of people - e.g. different colours, ages (16-60), both genders, gay & straight and accents too - to illustrate how "universal" break ups are.

4) Please discuss your project with me before doing it (in case other people are wanting to do the same line).

5) The video used each will will be on the homepage for one week - then we'll move them to an archived page

6) Each creator will get a short bio to accompany their work and a link to one of their online presences (be it here, your own site, a vimeo or youtube channel - your choice).

I think that covers it...? Again any more questions get in touch ok?

Best wishes, and big thanks!

Caligal, you might want to check out some of Kev's old dating vids. They were done with an early version of the app, but you could do something like this in an hour or so:

No stealing at all hon. I was vague about it because I run a forum where I don't allow people posting URLs so I was being respectful to Muvizu - but hey you said it not me :0)

I have a meeting tomorrow with moviecom.tv to hear about their platform (and its monetization capabilities!) and would love to have these lines be "adverts" on that SYBD channel.

It's very exciting times down at Dumped HQ!

Thanks for the feedback people!

Seems a great, creative community!

Sounds like a brill idea. Maybe you could get a couple of people on board.
I could see it being a pretty good series especially if you can get a youtube following!

Well the line "I could totally fall in love with you, but I'm thinking of becoming a priest" - was the line the inspired the actual site a decade + ago...

This delivered to me whilst in bed one Sunday evening - just hours after I'd arrived home on a flight from California!

Classy!

PS - He's married now and living in North Glasgow :O

For more than a decade now, I've run a Glasgow-based website for the romantically-challenged (read: dumped).

In that time thousands of break up lines have been sent in (with new ones arriving every week!)

Over the past year, I've compiled some of the best into a book I am hoping to publish & which may well get turned into an iPhone app at some point too...Both in the works!

....But after seeing a Muvizu guy give a talk at the GFT last month - I was inspired by what I saw and had an idea....

Is there someone out there that could whip up some 10 second animations of people getting dumped? ...One line at a time - to be unveiled every week or so?

There's sadly no money in it, (as the site is just me really and doesn't make money), but you'd get exposure to more than ten thousand "uniques" a month and as we build this, we can look at ways to turn those eyeballs into joint revenue! In fact, there are plans afoot to re-launch the site utilizing vbulletin & its CMS.

I aim to have a special "channel" for these works to be showcased. For now, I'd put them somewhere on the homepage to maximise exposure of your work.

If you're in Glasgow - even better - but really just looking for someone who's ambitious, creative, fun with a good sense of humor and artistic ability to turn these lines into something amazing!

Is that you?

More info in my profile if you're interested. Get in touch if you fancy it.

Thanks for your time. Maybe even a couple of different people might like to do them so no one feels too pressurized to perform each week :0)

All the best,

Cali
PS: The site gets press all over the globe and I am very confident we could get exposure for your animations too!
