Talk:Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers

message: I have just removed a bunch of rubbish from the Talk page-- mainly my fault, I apologise. Also, I have added many 'Citations Needed' to the article, as I am questioning some of the claims the article gives out. We can't expect this to become a good article, when we keep adding new information, but lack sources! Unconscious 22:05, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If you looked at my edits summary for the page, you can see that I mentioned on the Edit summary that the information came directly from Chris via Myspace. Adding all the "citations needed" only serves to make the page look sloppy. If you want to put citations, cite "information directly from Chris" under the references area of the page --Teram10 05:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

text: I've taken out some of the citation needed tags, though more remain that may well be taken out later. Some of those were just utterly ridiculous. Some of them asked for citation on what their costumes look like when a picture showing them is at the top of the article! Really, I can understand wanting to be meticulous or precise, but there is such a thing as taking it too far. Prophaniti 19:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Citations Needed

message: Just emailed Chris, here is his reply.
"Hey - on the DVD, we don't know yet - but definately not until the end of the second series (if at all)."
It doesn't sound too hopeful- nor does it seem apparent that CHRIS wishes to create a Emo Rangers DVD... Perhaps you should rephrase the paragraphing a little? It's more of an idea being thrown around, than what they would both like. 
Also, the citation for that paragraph leads to a MTV page with a small description about Emo Rangers, and not proof of the actual statement.. Or am I missing something? Unconscious 16:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: DVD release

message: Evil Emperoress' wacky humanoid punk monkey. Terrorized a local Chelmsford theme park and fought the Introspective Ranger until he was defeated.
Just a heads up.. There are no local Theme parks. The closest is a good 60 miles away, cheers! Unconscious 21:05, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Funky Monkey

message: This article has been deleted; and I am curious as to why? It is a television program which is filmed in the United Kingdom, and it is a very popular series; google searches will give you thousands of results.
Why was the article deleted?
I was just reading through the deletion log, and it appears that it shows no sign of notability... Surely, being on MTV is a call to fame, thus it deserves a space on Wikipedia?
It's no less worthy of being on the Wiki than "Courage The Cowardly Dog", for example, both shows have the roughly the same amount of fans.
Did this page not get a discussion before the delete? Was it not apparent that it is a television series that plays on MTV?

message: I know for a fact where the filming was done-- but I imagine that's not quite good enough... We need to get our hands on some sources in order to prove that that is where the filming was done. Unconscious 14:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cites for filming locations

message: Since France Five is included in the categories for :Category:Superheroes and :Category:Tokusatsu, shouldn't Emo Rangers be categoried there as well? Also, I think they should be included with :Category:MTV television series --Teram10 03:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy reply, and all of the info.
I'll see what I can put together for the article. Hopefully when I am finished, the article will be very detailed about your show and meet Wikipedia standards enough to not get speedy deleted again. The admin in charge of tokusatsu related articles is...well, I get the impression he has some kind of vendetta against anything non-Japanese, and he keeps trying to find reasons to delete mention of Emo Rangers from articles. He had been using the argument of "Emo Rangers isn't notable", and I'm trying to remove that defense.
Again, thanks a lot for all the help. I really appreciate it.

dominic sinacola is a sound designer based in southampton in the uk. i met him at uni.
we hooked up over the web, and we send the sound files to each other over FTP or instant messenger.
we record the voices at mike curtis studios. he is a member of the band fei comodo. we then send the voices to dom, who adds the sound fx for fights and robots etc, mixes down the rock soundtrack, and then adds incidental scoring to stuff like the evil empress lair :D
cheers

Hey Chris,
Thanks for the info. I'll see what I can put together for a "production notes" piece for the article. I was wondering though, what kind of sound recording setup did you have for additional voice recording? The article mentions that Dominic Sinacola handled the sound design, but could you elaborate more on what his role involved?
Again, thanks so much for the all the information.

im not entirely sure which cameras we used for which scenes. i can remember that most of the teen stuff is shot on a sony palmcorder or a sony vx2000.
the rest of the stuff has so many fx and stuff put over it, that it looks a lot better from the lighting and special fx rather than the camera.
you can basically get great results on any camera, and once the videos are put onto youtube you would not be able to tell the difference at all.
so anyone saying "this looks amazing it must be shot on a great camera" is missing the point since most of it is computer generated, or we put loads of lens flares and grading over it to make it look better :)
cheers

to clear things up we've used a bunch of camcorders to shoot parts of the show. regular 1 CCD $300 cameras.
:D
we also borrowed a VX2000 from a charity and used nicks one, which is a camcorder - calling it prosumer is about right i guess, but its a palm held camera that shoots in HD and costs less than a grand.

hey
on the disscussion board for the emo rangers wiki it says we've had nasty emails from the power rangers creators.
this is absolute nonsense. we've never had any contact with anyone from power rangers - except a few personal messages from people who have worked on the show at some stage or been actors in it. nevertheless these previous contacts have had nothing to do with copyright etc.
cheers

Hey Chris, thanks for replying so quickly. I've added the information you provided to the article, and I'll check through your myspace blog to find those media sources.
I do have a couple more questions,
1)You have yourself listed as providing misc voice talent. Did you voice Captain Crusher and Funky monkey?
2) It has been pointed out by one Wiki user that there is no amusement parks in Chelmsford. Where was the "funky monkey rampage" scene filmed at? Actually, if you could provide information about all the filming locations, that would be great. So far we have Moulsham Street, Central Park and Oaklands Park.
3) What is the status of a DVD release of the show? One Wiki user, and some fans, have suggested you can't release a DVD because it would violate the Power Rangers copyright, though I doubt there is an issue since MTV broadcasts the show already (and because Emo Rangers is a parody). But I thought I would ask and get the official answer on if a DVD release is still planned.
Thanks for all the help!

Hello Mr. Chris Phillips,
I'm trying to improve the wikipedia article on Emo Rangers. It's been deleted several times in the past because a lot of the information hasn't been cited by a "reliable source", so I've been trying to bring the article up to Wikipedia standards. I sent a message to your Emo Rangers space account with some questions about the show, and Nick responded. He suggested that I ask you some of the questions, and I'd really appreciate if you could fill in some of the gaps for me,
1) What is the name of all the actors/actresses in the show?
2) When specifically did you receive the contract with MTV UK?
3) I understand Emo Rangers has been featured in a variety of media, including the New Yorks Times and Essex Chronicle. You wouldn't happen to remember the year/month/issue of those articles would you, or possibly have a copy on hand?
Thanks for your time, and keep up the good work on the show. I really have enjoyed it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Teram10 (talk • contribs) 05:36, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
