Zutara Projects!

[honeybee]

I'm not sure if this thread is listed under the right place or not, but I thought it would be a good topic to add to the forum. (If one has been made already, feel free to delete this)

The Zutara Projects!

There are two Zutara projects happening right now. The original Zutara Project that was started a few years ago: Project-ReFinale, and a new project: The Firefly Lantern. For those new to the fandom, or have no idea what these are, both projects are working on giving an alternate ending to Avatar: the Last Airbender in which Zuko and Katara get together. They will be doing this in different ways, I'm sure, and I look forward to seeing both of them get completed!


The "Zutara Project":

A fan-created group effort to give a fully animated alternate ending to Avatar: the Last Airbender. It will have voice actors, too - all voiced by fans. And one fan we all know quite well, Dante Basco, will be voicing for Zuko! To keep up-to-date with this project, keep an eye on Project-ReFinale. The updates aren't very frequent at the moment, but I hear that a trailer is getting worked on, so maybe things will pick up soon?

The "Firefly Lantern":

In which several brilliant artists will work together to give an alternate ending to Avatar: the Last Airbender, this one in the form of a visual novel. Updates for this project seem more forth-coming, so if you'd like to keep up with this project as well, visit The Firefly Lantern!

The Team
Nymre, Zutaraxmylove, Smartybloom, InZaNe15, Beanaroony, Senbo-sencho, Kelly1412, Angelwingkitsune

• Projected Production Time: roughly 4 - 6 months

If you find out any information about the projects, or just want to discuss them, please share your thoughts here! I'm interested to know what you guys think. Maybe we can think of some ways to offer our support. =)

Just letting people know that there's been an update on the The Firefly Lantern project! They have started story-boarding, and will be finalizing background and outfit designs within the next month or two. (You can read the update here: )

Also, here are the concept arts for the project so far: TFL Gallery.

And here's a WIP drawing I snagged from their gallery:



It's animated, guys! Go and check it out!

I really hope a completed version of that animation makes it into the project. XD

w00t! I r so excite! I want this. I want this soooo bad.

[honeybee]

Me, too! I want both projects so badly, but I must admit, I'm clinging to the Firefly Lantern Project a bit more tightly because that seems more doable than the other one (and gets more updates as well, which is very important in order to keep people interested). I really hope for an update on the other project as well... I want both projects to succeed, so I'll continue giving my support to both whenever I can! =)

[advocaat]

Hear hear! I want to see both of them succeed as well. The Zutara Project has Voice clips from DB, so they just HAVE to finish it. Oh Please!

[honeybee]

I knnnooooow! It would be such a shame if Dante Basco's voice-over files were to go to waste. I even offered to take over the project a while back, since I know the importance of frequent updates to keep both fans and the project team interested, but no one would go for it... so I'm just going to sit back and hope for updates like everyone else. *Sighs* Sucks to not know what's going on most of the time... must be the OCD. >_>

[advocaat]

As long as they haven't abandoned it, I have hope. Hope is all I have! *tearbends*

[shoeninja]

How...have I never heard of these before....?

!!!

[azuremoon]

We must hold to hope. @_@ DANTE BASCO VOICING ZUKO IS WINN!! Please let this happen. @@

I spoke to the project runner of the "Zutara Project" to find out why there hasn't been any updates for a while, and she said that the background artist for it was slammed with school work for finals and such, so hopefully after the finals are over the backgrounds will get finished up and posted soon. As for the trailer... um, we might have to wait a while on that.
