The Legend of Vorath Series
Yes, that is Fifty Four Thousand frames, not a number mistake. It consists of nine episodes. Each one 6000 frames min. The storyline is really complicated, seeing as I don't have room on my other thread, I’m writing the storyline down here. This is the order episodes will be made in: 456, 123, 789. I’m doing it like that because 1, 2 and 3 are the back story. And I want people on Youtube to be surprised that there are 6 extra episodes because they will think number 3 is the last one.

Episode 1 and 2 (unnamed)
The main character in this episode is called Raven. He lives in Japan. A Master Swordsman who also practises Magic has just defeated the Vorath (Giant monster summoned during WWII), and is retiring because he is over 60 years old. He will train 3 People in his art, and is going around, Japan, China, and America to find them. There is a competition in a city close to where Raven lives so he goes and enters. He owns everybody else in the Contest so the Master Swordsman (Cystenian Saith is his name) takes Raven for his first student. They go to China and pick up someone called Ayden, then to America and chose somebody called Agenor. Then they go to the mountains and train in Cystenian Saiths hut. They train for about 2000 frames. During the training, Raven progresses far beyond Agenor and Ayden. Agenor Idolises Raven for his skill but Ayden just accepts that Raven is better and continues training. Then (A year later in the story), they get to go home to visit their families. Then, the day before they leave, Raven tries to steal a Weapons of Immense Power, a Shadow gem. It can absorb any form of energy and use it to fire Blasts. Raven is punished for this and has to spend 3 days cleaning old possessions of Master Saith. When Raven finally leaves to see his family, he finds his parents have been brutally murdered and his sister is missing. The bodies are fresh so he realises if he had been there 3 days ago he could have saved them. So, using his new skills, he kills his parent’s killers and then finding blood dripping from his sword, he leaves on a Plane back to the Mountains. He blames Cystenian Saith for the tragedy, and convinces Agenor to join Raven. Raven kills Master Saith, when Ayden finds out; he challenges Raven and is beaten in a few seconds. Raven then steals Master Saiths valuable possessions, A Samurai Sword, the Shadow Gem, and a Wu Hat. End of Episode 2
Episode 3 (unnamed)
Raven and Agenor run away from Cystenian Saiths house and hide in a cave with some belongings. Leaving Ayden behind. Raven reached the conclusion that the world is full of Evil, and that it must be stopped. He thinks that he can accomplish that if Laws about murder were changed. So he decides that Taking over the world would help him accomplish that so Raven trains Agenor to do things with magic he should never have learned. Raven learned these dark arts from reading books that he wasn't allowed to read. But Raven needs more power in the Shadow Gem, so he comes up with a plan. If they summoned a very powerful magical entity, they could command it to fire magic blasts at Raven, which Raven could absorb, and become stronger. They decide to summon the Vorath, but that takes lots of Time and resources. They would be noticed if they did this so they need a distraction. Raven decides to summon a lesser Demon called the Vychan. So they summon it and tell it to go out and kill people at random during the Night. It leaves the cave. End of episode 3.
Episode 4 - The Vychan Unleashed
The main Character is called Murtagh. He lives in a city across from some plains and a Mountain Range. He makes a living of killing criminals. He was trained in the Special Forces, but left after his training. The police don't like him because he often breaks the law to get criminals killed, like stealing weapons and such. He went to train after his Brother Agenor was taken away to train with a Master Swordsman called Cystenian Saith. When the Vychan starts killing, people, the Police realise that Murtagh is the only one with the skill to stop it. So they offer him a large amount of money if he can kill it. Murtagh accepts and starts looking for the Vychan. The Vychan attacks a facility and Helicopters armed with missiles are brought in, the Vychan easily evades these obstacles, killing everyone inside and escape in a Helicopter he stole, blowing up the facility in the process. Murtagh is tracking the Vychan when he meets somebody called Ayden. They join together and agree to split the money Halfway when the mission is complete. Eventually they find the Vychan and kill it after tracking it through the wilderness. They are given their money and depart each other. End of Episode 4.
Episode 5 - The Vorath Summoned
It begins when you see Raven summon the Vorath. They use one of the corpses that the Vychan killed as a Blood Sacrifice necessary to summon it. When it appears Raven orders it to give him energy. The Vorath obeys and Raven becomes stronger. Murtagh sees this from a distance, he is to far away to recognise his brother, but he can tell that big Monsters and Blood Sacrifices are a bad thing. He goes home, rings Ayden up and tells him what he found. Then they set out together to find out what is going on. They go out into the forest to where it happened. Nothing is there except a large blackened Pentacle. Murtagh and Ayden track the mysterious man to his cave. When the cave is in sight, Agenor appears from behind and knocks them unconscious. When Murtagh wakes up he is in the cave, tied up and Raven is standing over him. Raven tells Murtagh about his plan and that he should join him in his quest for World Peace. Murtagh refuses so Raven lets him go, warning him that if he interferes again he will be shown no mercy. Murtagh meets Ayden later; apparently he was released just before Murtagh woke up. Murtagh decides to get his Sword, and Ayden gets his Gun, and they go back to stop Raven. There is a big fight and raven runs away to the city. Ayden is left behind as Murtagh peruses him. They have a big swordfight in a factory; Murtagh is beaten and weapon less. Raven is about to deliver the death blow when Ayden catches up and stops Raven with a poorly thrown grenade. Raven isn't killed but he runs away afterwards.
Ayden and Murtagh talk for a bit and leave. End of episode 5.
Episode 6 - The Struggle Begins
Murtagh and Ayden decide that they need a Shadow Gem if they can hope to match Ravens Magical powers. The do a little research and find that there are only two in existence. They belong to Cystenian Saith (Raven stole it remember) and someone called Reyne. They go to Reynes house and explain their situation. When they mention the word 'Raven', she shuts them up and tells them that she can't help if it’s Raven that they are fighting because Raven is too powerful. Murtagh and Ayden are surprised that she knows about Raven so they offer her $10,000 (The money they were given for killing the Vychan) and she reluctantly accepts. She joins Ayden and Murtagh in their mission to stop Raven. They set out to destroy the Vorath, which they need a special weapon for that they somehow manage to find. Once the Vorath is destroyed, Raven sets out after them. Ayden calls for the American Armies assistance. Once the full army is stationed on the Plains outside the city, Raven appears with Agenor. Murtagh is shocked to discover that his brother is Evil and tries to convince him to join him but Agenor refuses on the basis that he believes Raven is doing the right thing and that Murtagh should join Raven if he wants to be with his brother. There is a huge fight. Raven and Agenor Single handily destroy the entire army and have a swordfight with Murtagh. Murtagh is defeated again but is saved when Reyne and Ayden rescue him at the last moment. Raven and Agenor sets out on a campaign to take over the World and Murtagh and Reyne and Ayden start a Rebel group to stop Raven if he gets in Power. End of episode 6.
Episode 7 – Ascension
The leaders of all the countries in the world are congregating in the World Meeting centre. They are discussing what do about Raven because he has become a big threat, and already annihilated the American Army single handily. Murtagh is standing in the corner with his arms crossed. A Big TV screen at the end of the room turns on, showing a picture of Ravens face. Raven looks at them coldly and tells them that they should surrender, because if they continue to fight that there will only be more deaths and that he will win either way. He says he will contact them back in an hour. An argument begins, while Japan and America and a few other countries’ argue that they can't just give up, France and England and other countries argue that Raven can't be stopped and that they might as well give up. Murtagh voices his opinions and they ignore his advice so Murtagh leaves. He goes to the resistance base located 2 blocks away from the World Meeting Centre. He gets his sword and a gun and waits in a chair. Back in the WMC, the screen turns on again. Raven says “Well, have you decided?” They answer “We have”, “and...?” “It’s war” “Very well” Raven continues; outlining the fact they are all going to die for resisting him and such. The screen turns of. You see the battlefield. Raven is standing at the edge with his sword while a colossal army is opposite him. “Ready!” Soldiers put their hands on their guns “Aim!” all the guns click as they are lifted towards their target “Fire!” Guns fire, tanks shoot, missiles are launched. Raven deflects all the bullets, jumping out of the way when a missile or tank bullet comes his way. He leaps into the ranks, killing everybody around him with his sword. He is so fast that no-body has time to aim properly, and those who do, their attacks are deflected. He destroys a couple of tanks with magic blasts. Back at the resistance base, Murtaghs phone is ringing. He picks it up. Ayden is on the phone with him, voicing his concern about the turn of events and what they should do about it. He informs Murtagh that he, Reyne and some soldiers that they hired will be down shortly. Murtagh just says he hopes that the army can hold their own against Raven. You see the aftermath of the battle. Thousands of dead bodies lie around the battlefield. Fires are burning among the remains of destroyed tanks. Raven looks around once and leaves. Back at the WMC, the elevator doors open. Raven steps out with his sword, and kills all who are inside the building. So the world leaders are dead. Raven makes a speech to the public, saying that he is in power to offer them freedom, and that he is good and all sorts of stuff. You see his speech being made on live TV; the TV is turned off by Murtagh. Murtagh and Ayden discuss plans to get rid of Raven. They settle on an idea. 15 Snipers are placed inside the windows of houses and of the rooftops surrounding the WMC main entrance. After a while, Raven opens the door and leaves. A soldier with an AK-47 runs out screaming and starts shooting at Raven. Raven kills him by deflecting all his bullets, then all the snipers fire at once. Raven jumps up into the air and all the bullets hit the steps. He gathers some energy in his hand and spins around; firing 15 bolts at all the snipers. 14 of them hit snipers directly, but Raven shoots one at the ceiling above a window sniper. The ceiling collapses on top of him, and Raven enters the building and captures him. Murtagh picks up his cell phone, listens, nods, and puts it back down. “I’ve just had conformation” he said “Mission failed”. A few more sentences are exchanged. In the WCC (Changed from World Meeting Centre to World Control Centre) Raven is torturing his captive. He asks him about the resistance. The man refuses to answer. Raven gets angry cuts of his arm, spraying blood along the wall. The man screams and tells Raven where the resistance are. Raven thanks him and lops of his head. He picks up his cell phone and says “Agenor, we’ve got them” While the resistance are talking Raven blows up the entrance, there is a small struggle and Raven captures Murtagh. He throws a time bomb in behind him. As Murtagh is being driven away in the back of a car by Raven, Ayden and Reyne run out seconds before the bomb detonates, only just missing Raven’s car. As the resistance goes up in flames and Ravens car drives away, Ayden says a few words to Reyne and they leave. End of Episode 7
Episode 8 – Retaliation
Murtagh is in his cell, in the dungeons underneath WCC. Agenor enters. Agenor offers Murtagh a chance to join him and Raven, giving arguments about how well and good the world was because Raven was in power. Murtagh refuses on the grounds of Raven being a murderous tyrant with a deluded view of the world. He piles his arguments so high that Agenor seems overshadowed. He tells Murtagh that he is sorry that fate had been so cruel to him and leaves. A few minutes later, a guard entered with a tray of food for Murtagh. He opens Murtaghs cell and looks around. Murtagh is not there, he turns around to leave and Murtagh drops from the ceiling, and breaks the mans neck with his legs. He takes his keys and dashes out of his cell. First, he opens a locked door with his weapons in it and takes his sword. He runs out into a first floor hallway, looks around and runs down a side passage. As he nears the door at the other end, it opens and Agenor enters. Murtagh and Agenor fight for a bit, Murtagh knocks him over with a well aimed blow and runs through the door that Agenor entered. He is now in the main passage. He runs towards the door to outside and a bolt of energy arches over his head and smashes into the door, causing an explosion blocking his way. Murtagh turns, and on the balcony above him Raven is standing with his sword in hand. Agenor enters through the side door. Raven says something to Murtagh and jumps of the Balcony, doing a forward flip in the air. He lands and he and Murtagh fight. Murtagh is beaten, Raven asks Murtagh to join him, and Murtagh refuses. As Raven swings his sword back for the fatal blow, there’s a gunshot, and Raven spins around deflecting a bullet. Ayden and Reyne are on the balcony; Reyne jumps down and starts fighting Agenor, while Murtagh resumes fighting Raven, all the while Ayden is shooting at Agenor and Raven with his pistol. The fight carries Murtagh and Raven to the balcony after a while Murtagh manages to fire his own magic attack, while not as powerful as Ravens, destroys the ground underneath Ravens feet and Raven falls down, stunned; Murtagh and Ayden run out through the rubble left by the door. Agenor is distracted by this turn of events and Reyne disarms him in a few blows and leaves. She catches up with Ayden and Murtagh, and Ayden guides them to the new Resistance Head Quarters. They talk about what happened and how they planned to rescue Murtagh and Murtagh tells them about what had happened to him (This could take up to 3 minutes) Then they talk about how they are supposed to deal with Raven. Lots of ideas are produced, but eventually, Murtagh stops them and says “I know what to do”.
End of Episode 8
Character Previews - Note: Murtaghs name is likely to be changed
That’s all I can tell you for now. The last episode is full of twists and I don't want the storyline ruined. You will find what happens in episode 9 once I have animated it! I have done some maths to work out how long it will take me to animate this series. My normal speed is 70-150 frames per day. That means it will take 1 – 2 years to complete if I animate like that, so I can do it! If you doubt my abilities, then click here for a short preview, so you can see that I animate well.
Also that was a very basic outline; it would take about 3 times as much text to explain it in detail. I haven’t explained personalities yet or how people feel at certain parts of the series: Like when Murtagh finds out his brother Agenor is evil. (Not counting fighting moves, conversations, backgrounds and effects)
I have the storyline for the last episode written down on my computer. It is available on request; though don’t ask unless you really want the story spoiled. And I won’t just give it to anyone, if you ask and you don’t get it that means you suck.
Some Explanation
People say there will be lag in the Pivot file because of how long it is, that is partially true. There will be lag, but it will have to do with animation length. Lag is caused by how many stks you use at one time, not animation length. I have an animation that is 4814 frames, and it has no lag at all, the series so far (29th October) Is only 369 frames and but it also has tones of detail, up to 196 figures on screen at once, those parts lag, but the rest don’t. The Piv for each episode will likely be split into 1000-2000 frame parts because of the figure type limit. But the final product on Youtube will have all 6000 frames included.
Now, there was also some confusion about file size when saved as a Bitmap, some people think it will be 72 Gigs. Let me run you over the basics so you understand what I’m about to say.
Each animation will be about 6000-8000 frames. There are nine animations. All together that’s 54000-72000 frames. Now, If it is 72000 frames, It will not be 72 Gigs, 72000 bitmap frames would be 12 Gigs. And only 1.5 gigs room will be taken up because I will only have 8000 bitmap frames out at any one time. I figured this out by these calculations.
Renegade Heated has the amount of Details the series will have. When saved it in Bitmap Images, they are 125MB. So that number times 12 (How much bigger one series animation will be) is 1.5GB. And seeing as I will have only one animations bitmaps out at one time, that’s no problem. It will take about half an hour to get all the bitmap frames into Avi form using Monkeyjam. Once it’s in Avi form I will delete the Bitmaps because I won't need them anymore. So that’s only 1.5 Gigs extra files for about half an hour. And that is only IF each animation is over 8000 frames. I have 18 Gigs free space on my Computer, I can manage! I’m going to be fine.
The Legend of Vorath Series
Yes, that is Fifty Four Thousand frames, not a number mistake. It consists of nine episodes. Each one 6000 frames min. The storyline is really complicated, seeing as I don't have room on my other thread, I’m writing the storyline down here. This is the order episodes will be made in: 456, 123, 789. I’m doing it like that because 1, 2 and 3 are the back story. And I want people on Youtube to be surprised that there are 6 extra episodes because they will think number 3 is the last one.

The fight carries Murtagh and Raven to the balcony after a while Murtagh manages to fire his own magic attack, while not as powerful as Ravens, destroys the ground underneath Ravens feet and Raven falls down, stunned; Murtagh and Ayden run out through the rubble left by the door. Agenor is distracted by this turn of events and Reyne disarms him in a few blows and leaves. She catches up with Ayden and Murtagh, and Ayden guides them to the new Resistance Head Quarters. They talk about what happened and how they planned to rescue Murtagh and Murtagh tells them about what had happened to him (This could take up to 3 minutes) Then they talk about how they are supposed to deal with Raven. Lots of ideas are produced, but eventually, Murtagh stops them and says “I know what to do”.
End of Episode 8
Character Previews - Note: Murtaghs name is likely to be changed
That’s all I can tell you for now. The last episode is full of twists and I don't want the storyline ruined. You will find what happens in episode 9 once I have animated it! I have done some maths to work out how long it will take me to animate this series. My normal speed is 70-150 frames per day. That means it will take 1 – 2 years to complete if I animate like that, so I can do it! If you doubt my abilities, then click here for a short preview, so you can see that I animate well.
Also that was a very basic outline; it would take about 3 times as much text to explain it in detail. I haven’t explained personalities yet or how people feel at certain parts of the series: Like when Murtagh finds out his brother Agenor is evil. (Not counting fighting moves, conversations, backgrounds and effects)
I have the storyline for the last episode written down on my computer. It is available on request; though don’t ask unless you really want the story spoiled. And I won’t just give it to anyone, if you ask and you don’t get it that means you suck.
Some Explanation
People say there will be lag in the Pivot file because of how long it is, that is partially true. There will be lag, but it will have to do with animation length. Lag is caused by how many stks you use at one time, not animation length. I have an animation that is 4814 frames, and it has no lag at all, the series so far (29th October) Is only 369 frames and but it also has tones of detail, up to 196 figures on screen at once, those parts lag, but the rest don’t. The Piv for each episode will likely be split into 1000-2000 frame parts because of the figure type limit. But the final product on Youtube will have all 6000 frames included.
Now, there was also some confusion about file size when saved as a Bitmap, some people think it will be 72 Gigs. Let me run you over the basics so you understand what I’m about to say.
Each animation will be about 6000-8000 frames. There are nine animations. All together that’s 54000-72000 frames. Now, If it is 72000 frames, It will not be 72 Gigs, 72000 bitmap frames would be 12 Gigs. And only 1.5 gigs room will be taken up because I will only have 8000 bitmap frames out at any one time. I figured this out by these calculations.
Renegade Heated has the amount of Details the series will have. When saved it in Bitmap Images, they are 125MB. So that number times 12 (How much bigger one series animation will be) is 1.5GB. And seeing as I will have only one animations bitmaps out at one time, that’s no problem. It will take about half an hour to get all the bitmap frames into Avi form using Monkeyjam. Once it’s in Avi form I will delete the Bitmaps because I won't need them anymore. So that’s only 1.5 Gigs extra files for about half an hour. And that is only IF each animation is over 8000 frames. I have 18 Gigs free space on my Computer, I can manage! I’m going to be fine.
great plans hope they turn out well
