A Quick Mention (Background Art)

I wanted to mention where the background of this blog comes from since I have yet to do that. Well the background for the blog comes from a picture by ByeNeida located here: ByeNeida.Deviantart.com

From this image our editor modified the size and added more sky to the picture. We copied and pasted around until we had the appropriate width for the background from there it was just a matter of fixing and incongruities that were created. We feel we did a good job hiding them .

After the sky we used a gradient from the lighter surface of the water to the darker as the level lowered. From there we took a photo of Sea kings and extracted them from the one piece anime, we recreated the purples head, a bit poorly but our editor is not an artist, so we think it turned out well.

From there we added a seabed and added another layer of water which we increased the opacity until near invisibility. So that is where that came from, if you would like to make us a professional background just contact Zombifaction or OmegaOptimusSupreme, you can also directly email us if you feel like that is the better option.

Episode 2 is being edited until then check out our previous posts about TeamXGP and their series Outlaw Star Abridged.

Space Pirates!

Can I just give a large shout out to some friends who are also abridgers, and just so happen to be better than us. I'm talking about TeamXGP, who abridge Outlaw Star and might I say it is freakin hilarious!


They make episodes faster than just about any other abridger I know and each and everyone is hilarious. The cast is dynamite featuring voice actors like:

MasakoX (a steady role)
dimensioncr8r
SinKatt
Demon Slayer X (He is cash)
Airrest
lightofhope18

And a good friend Trixen, this guy is the glue that holds this series together. He is pulling so much works in the series, you could probably count him as 5 different characters in just about any episodes, except he can differentiate each voice so well you can't tell it's him! Taking on roles like: Gene Starwind, Gene's father(Sean Connery), Hilda, Old man(with braids) and they say if you listen closly you can hear him shouting obscenities in the background of every scene.

So I just wanted to mention these guys they need so much more people watching them, it is completely worth it, every time!

Sorry about it!

Introducing the Crew

I would like to take the time to point out a few members of our crew who are drastically important to the series as of so far. Note that these wll happen every so often. And if you don't see your favorite that doesn't mean they aren't important.

All of our crew is important! I would like to stress just how important all of our crew is, even if their main characters haven't shown up yet. Each and everyone is drastically important!

Now I'm just going to start out with the 3 original members of Team Nakama.

OmegaOptimusSupreme
The Co-creator of Team Nakama his other titles include sound editor and co-writer. Omega is the guy who keeps the scripts from being one gigantic sick joke. Voice of Roronoa Zoro as well as many others Omega keeps the show from devolving into some sick and twisted parody of One Piece Zombi would inevitably make it.

The voice of Luffy! And in our opinion the best male voice actor for Luffy there is! Sabien was part of the original team for One Piece Abridged. He is an assistant writer as well as many of the background voices.
Zombifaction
Co-creator of Team Nakama his other titles include Head writer and video editor. Zombi is the voice of Sanji as well as many others on One Piece the Abridged series. If his original draft of episode 2 had gone through he would have alienated the entire audience.
Check out there YouTube's more updates are on the way!

Always Sunny in One Piece

Alot of people don't know that in the world of One Piece is is really bright(even in the Thriller Bark Arc). But that might just be because of our next video from Zombifaction we have Always Sunny in One Piece.

Using audio from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Zombifaction made a video to practice lip syncing characters with audio. And the video that came from it was weird, yet funny. Accompanied by 3 guys who used to be 1 guy from episode 1 Luffy and random guy sing the thrilling song of Dayman.

Original Opening

I'm here to upload the back catalogue of Team Nakama Videos. We will start with the original draft of our opening theme.


We really wanted to use this because we saw no one else was but before we could release our first episodes LittleKuriboh releases a One Piece Parody on his Ninjabridge account. So we knew it wouldn't work anymore. We hold no ill will though, in fact we got an even better opening out of it so it all worked out for the better.

But we do hope you enjoy it. It was made by our previous editor ExthMode. He is an outstanding editor, check out his works at: eXthMODE's YouTube
