Hey all. Good to see you all doing your thing on newgrounds even on 2018. I pretty much grew up with this place so I'm happy all is well for the most part at 2018.

First a little about myself. I'm a musician and composer. I've done a lot of genres. Started out with game music, some funk related stuff, messed around with jazz-fusion...now I like to make hip hop beats. Still learning, but it's about the journey. Been about 5 years I've been at it.

I'm also a big fan of Cowboy Bebop, Champloo, and alot of other 90s anime.

I love bebop. Love the Matrix too, just so you get an idea of how I think. Champloo was alright, but bebop always struck home to me much more. Bebop's whole theme of being tied to the past and confronting it has always been a big theme in my life. I've considered myself a lone wolf, and have always had the tendency of somehow coming together with other people who have had a similar upbringing or lifestyle, thought patterns; however you could word it. I mean I don't wanna say I've hung out with bums, but people who are in to stuff like that tend to be more left field. In terms of music I've always liked old school or underground music too, jazz fusion like chick corea, return to forever, prog rock,jazzrap, MF DOOM, ... etc.

The reason I say of this is because I also recently got into producing hip hop beats, and since I'm so left-field, I had a hard time adjusting to the newer southern trap inspired sound. I changed my production style a bit too match what's going on now, but no matter how you cut it I still like the old school jdilla/ pete rock/ ATCQ etc sound, so I didn't sell out completely, always trying to keep an old school element in my sound.

I decided to make it a goal for the future to try to bring that old school sound back. At the same time I had gotten back to watching Bebop, and my older childhood dreams of making manga resurfaced as well as older dreams of making a game (you know, how every kid wants to learn programming to make a game). Initially, I thought about producing a game that would infuse elements of old school/ newer hip hop as the soundtrack, and use that as an opportunity to both promote my music and do something I've always wanted to do as a child.

I later changed my idea to either a web series or animation that was a spiritual successor to bebop/champloo, or atleast had the vibes of a Shinichiro Watanabe production. Disenchanted with difficulty selling beats to mediocre rappers, whose lifestyle/lyrical themes I really dislike (felt like I was always selling out), I come here with the idea to bring this plan to motion. Basically, I wanna produce this project out of my own pocket. I can't write scripts, can't animate, don't know how to market etc... All I'm planning on doing myself is the music, and dropping the cash...don't have much, but

I got 2000$ I can drop on this project. My idea is either to make a web series or an animated movie, and all I got as a concept right now is to infuse hip hop with something that doesn't neccesarily fit with. Basically what Champloo did, although in this case I maybe wouldn't want to make it as obvious. Maybe I can just make that the soundtrack genre just to give it that feel. I dunno, but I definitely want to have the vibe be with main characters who don't really fit in, definitely want it to be action obviously. And if it's a web series, it would be episodic, just like a lot of Watanabe's stuff.

I highly doubt 2000$ is enough to do this, but I dunno guys I wanna hear from you. How would I get about this? Maybe I need more cash? I'm really new to this whole thing... don't know how I'd budget it or anything.

Sorry If I bored you with my interests, but just wanted to make sure people know I'm serious about this shit and am really passionate about it, hoping I could work with like-minded people. Anyway, I highly doubt this kind of shit will be done in one day, but if you guys can drop your thoughts I'd appreciate it. Anyway reply to this thread or email me soravwashere@gmail.com, skype tehsmf ...if you're down to have some part on this, I'm all ears and I'm staying humble so any replies are appreciated.
