---What is the Toontown Productions?---

The Toontown Productions allows directors to easily find actors and actors to easily find a movie to act in. When a director wants to make a movie he simply has to post info about it and how may actors it will need. Then the actors can find this movie and choose to act in it. After the movie has been created it will be put in the "Auditorium" section of this post for it to be viewed. Every time it has been viewed it will count as some profit. The more profit a movie makes will allow it to go up in the box office and if the movie reaches #1 in the box office the director and actors it will receive a reward at the month end festival. Also this money can be used to buy things at The Toontown Pro. store.

The month end event (mentioned earlier) will be at the end of every month. During this event all the movies finished within that month will be premiered. At the festival there will be entertainment such as races, boss run groups and other things. These events must be organized by an Event Organizer.

The Toontown Productions store allows you to buy a lot of cool items that will help you enter The TT Pro. Hall of Fame. You can purchase these using film points. Buying these items can boost your fame rank and give your movie free stars.

The Auditorium includes the snack bar and the theater. In the theater you buy tickets and watch movies. You can even rate them if you want! Also if you sign up as a reviewer you can post a review of it. Then there is the premier theater, which is where the movie will only show once at a certain time and then it goes back to the regular theater the next day. In the snack bar you can get great snacks that boost your fame. Don't go in the theater without your popcorn!

The TT Pro Hall of Fame-your movies were great, you made many and now it's time for you to put up the camera. You had the best movies, winning many awards and now your journey ends. Every month end festival the best movie makers of that month who want to retire will be elected for to enter the Hall of Fame, the graveyard for our great movie makers who have left to enjoy their time somewhere else. There is also The TT Pro. Hall of Fame (Unretired.) This is for a great moviemaker who is not retiring from The TT Pro.


---Basics of making a Toontown film---

Making a TT film is quite simple. Just follow these steps:
Download Fraps (PC) Snapz X Pro (Mac)
Get actors to play your parts.
Film the movie
Edit the movie using WMM (PC) iMovie, FCE 4 OR FCS 2 (Mac)
Put the edited movie on a site such as Putfile or Youshare.
If you need more information go to the next section.


---Guide to making your own film---

The first step in making a Toontown movie is to create your story and make a title for it. Think of all the characters you want and make a list of them. Once you do that, you need actors. To get actors, you can either ask your true friends or make a thread asking for actors for your parts. While you are waiting to get actors, go location scouting. When you go location scouting, you need to look for places to film all your scenes.

Once you get your actors, make a location to meet at a certain time. Then tell your actors the line and start filming. I would recommend using Fraps for filming. Once you have filmed your scenes, log off and open an editing program. Add such things as titles, credits and some effects. After you have done all that, you have successfully make yourself a movie.


---Actor’s Guide---

When you are an actor, you need to make sure that you do a couple of vital things. First, make sure to capitalize all your letters that need to be capitalized. Make sure that, instead of saying something like “lets go to the park,” you say, “Lets go to the park.” Also, you must make sure to have the proper expression. If you say something like “hooray,” then you should use the proper emote. The last thing is to make sure that all your spelling is correct. You should never say “plz lmme se ur dddle.” Instead, say “please let me see your doodle.”

---The TT Pro. Studio Intro---

The TT Pro. Studio is for all the directors, actors and other members to get together. The Studio consists of the office and lodge, the store, studios 1-2 and the lounge. The studio is at my house and will open every so often. This is where interviews are held. The studio provides a relaxing environment to our workforce and provides a comfortable location for filming or discussing the movie with other actors. You can also host your wrap party here or schedule to film here.

---Office/Lodge---
The Office is where interviews are held and the place where you can organize a wrap party or permission to film in the studio. There is also a coffee bar, good place to discuss things with actors. Also, monthly meetings are held here. The lodge is a place to film and a place where directors or actors can buy one of the two exclusive rooms here.

---Store---
The store is a place where directors can purchase camera equip. They can also purchase a room in the premiere auditorium. This is also where you can get actors to act in your film by paying for how much money there are worth.
