vivid's blog of ultimate doom

teamlolirock:

Since I can’t answer to anonymous question privately, I tend to not do it very often… or I wait until I have enough to make one big post. Like today. 

1) Hi, in your post, can write the french version too ? / Salut, pouvez vous écrire en français dans vos posts aussi ? 

ENG : Hi, as you can guess, it takes a lot of time to create the post, and also a lot to translate them. I’ll try to translate the biggest when I’ll have the time, but I’m not able to do that for every post unfortunately, as it takes too much time… / FRA : Bonjour, comme vous vous en doutez, cela prend beaucoup de temps pour créer les post, et également pour les traduire. J’essaierai de faire une version française des plus gros quand j’aurais le temps, mais je ne peux plus faire ça pour tous les post malheureusement car cela prend trop de temps… 

2) Do you know how many countries in total have aired lolirock? if so, which ones? 

I admit I lack information regarding this matter… I know about Italy, France, Spain, Bulgaria and Brazil for sure… Ah, and in South Africa too if I recall, since it was the only official english broadcast. I know we have a big fan community in Ukraine and Russia, but I’m not sure the show is broadcasted there… or if it is, probably only subbed… And, to my regret, I know that we’re still not aired either in US or UK… yet. 

3) Will there be a season 2 ? / How many episodes ? When will it be out ? /  When can we expect a Season 2 trailer? / Will there be a new opening for season 2 ? / Etc. 

There is a season 2 in production, with 26 new episodes. We hope it’ll be out by fall or winter 2016. Maybe there will be a trailer, but it’ll mostly depend on our broadcasters. :) You can expect a few surprises in this second season, as we’ll have three two-parter episodes.  Regarding the new opening question, unfortunately no, we didn’t have the ressources to create a new one. Some people in the team are working on a “team fan-version” of new opening though, during their free time. Let’s hope it will be completed one day. ;)

4) Do you guys have a release for the season 2 music videos yet? Is it going to be after France is done with season 1?

Not yet unfortunately. We’re still working on it. 

5)  Any news on a US broadcaster? If yes which one ? 

Edit : Well, yeah, very fresh news in fact ! See for your self here : http://www.c21media.net/batterypop-unwraps-lolirock/ :) 

6) Any plans to release a bluray or digital media with the English audio in the United states? PS. Lolirock is amazing!

Thank you, and see answer above for digital media. ;) It may very well happen sooner than you think !

7) Will LoliRock be translated into Russian? Have you got such plans?

I have no idea, but considering all the fans from Russia, we’d love to give them a Russian version of LoliRock. :)

8) Will there ever be artwork of shanila released? And I remember reading someplace that all the girls might have it next season is this true or a rumor?

Yes, we’ll show you more on the Shanila at the right time. ;) As to know if all princesses will have Shanila in season 2, you’ll see it by yourself. No spoil. ;)

9) Hello Team LoliRock, I Would Like To Ask If There’s Any Transformation Songs For Shanila & Their Normal Transformation ?

There is a transformation music for each princesses (wait to discover Lyna and Carissa’s transformation in season 2 !). The Shanila transformation is so epic that we do things differently for it. You’ll see in season 2 what I mean. ;) Anyway, no special transformation song for the shanila.

10)  I think it will be cool if you guys create an spin-off series about crystal mermaids from Ephedia and also I know this is not Lolirock related but I think it will also be cool if you guys also create an animated series called Mermaid World based on an app game from Crowdstar Inc.

Well, that’s an idea. We have a lot to create and unveil about Ephedia, so why not ? Currently we’re really busy on LoliRock, but afterward who knows ? ;) 

11) Are you guys are planning to upload the model sheets of Talia’s Older Sister very soon?!? 

Yes, we’ll show you more about Izira soon. ;) 

12) Are there people in the Lolirock team that also worked for another Marathon project called Totally Spies!

Yes. Our director’s assistant worked on Totally Spies!, as well as some of our designers. :)   

13) FRA : pourquoi vous ne poster plus rien sur le site officiel lolirock et notamment les goodies que j'adore et pourriez vous nous montrer à quoi ressemble la princesse Brenda transformer ?????sinon j'adore lolirock ne vous arrêter jamais et surtout j'adore les tenus que vous crée elles sont vraiment trop belle!!!!! / ENG : Why don’t you post anymore on the official LoliRock website ? (specially the goodies I love !) And will you show what’s princess Brenda’s magical dress  ? I love the outfits you created ! 

FRA : Nous sommes malheureusement peu nombreux, ce qui ne nous aide pas à faire d’autre goodies… J’espère qu’on pourra en faire d’autre dès que possible cela dit. Pour Brenda, vous la découvrirez en saison 2. Pas de spoil ! ;) Et merci pour les compliments, ça nous fait super plaisir ! / ENG :  We are too few to continue to have many updates on LoliRock’s official website. I hope we’ll be able to have more goodies however. Regarding Brenda, you’ll see her in season 2, but other than that : “No Spoil” ! ;) I won’t tell you anything more. And thanks ! Glad you love the outfits !

14) What happens to all the traditional drawings when you are done with an episode? Do the animators get to keep them or are they property of the animation company?

They’re technically property of the company (Marathon Media, now Zodiak Kids Studio), however it happens that we give them to the animators / designers if they ask for them.

15) Hello, big fan of the show, I love how much effort the crew puts into it. :) I was wondering if you could say where Carissa and Lyna will be staying now that they are with Lolirock?

Thank you. :) Lyna and Carissa will stay in Sunny Bay, but they’re very reserved about where they live… so, I don’t know. Probably some big cosy appartement downtown. 

16) Hi i was on Wiki and it said that it has been HINTED that Nathaniel Knows Iris’s secret. Is that true and if so please tell me? Likewise, is Gramorr Iris’ uncle ?

Well, I can’t answer this question… yet. Maybe you’ll have your answer in season 2 ? ;) For Gramorr however, who he is remains a mystery, but he is not, repeat, not Iris’ uncle. That was an old idea we rejected early on during the production of season 1. 

17) What can you tell us about the backgrounds and personalities of both Lyna and Carissa? And will we ever see the other parents of Talia, Auriana, Lyna and Carissa?

Regarding the background and personnalistes, I guess I’ll make a post on each princess at some point. What you can see in episode 25 & 26 of season 1 is actually pretty accurate : Lyna loves spells, Carissa prefer hand to hand fighting, the two of them are best friends yet can’t stop arguying with each other. In season 2, you’ll also discover that Lyna loves boy as much as Auriana, and that Carissa has issues with teamwork. See you in season 2 for more details. ;) Same for the family and relatives : no spoil. We did promise that you’ll have Auriana’s special episode, as you had Xeris for Talia. I will tell no more. 

18) Could you tell us something about the princesses’ kingdoms? I think we know a lot about Ephedia and Xeris right now, but what about Volta and two new princesses’ kingdoms? Will we see them in season 2?

As for above, I’m gonna make a post about that. A lot of fan are asking, and truth is I have to confirm a lot of things with Jean-Louis about that before posting anything. ;) A little more patience. 

19) Will there be more love in season 2 ? Will Iris be with Lev or Nathaniel ? 

Again, I can’t answer these questions… No spoil ! You’ll see in season 2. ;) But nice try. 

20) I’m curious to know who the staff favourite is. Talia from what I’ve seen.. but what about the villains? If the staff absolutely had to pick between Meph & Prax, Gramorr, Lev, Zeinos & Deinos, who would win? (I’ll bet my money on M&P) 

Talia is definitely our favourite princess, and Mephisto would be our favorite villain, followed closely by Praxina. Of course, I can’t speak for everyone in the team… ;) Some may have other opinions.

Aaaaand that’s it for today’s questions ! I should be up to date with most of the questions sent since last november… I know there are still a few, about Lyna and Carissa, about the magical training room, about Amaru that has yet to be answered. ;) It’ll come, don’t worry !
