<div class="IPBDescription">sign-ups</div> Natural selection is the perfect game to make a movie of, an actual movie. It would be from both the marine and kharra perspective(location and exact script not choosen yet)
I'm looking for everyone needed to do a massive project like this
- Cameramen(and women). Everyone would need to set their resoultion, colour, gamma, ect ect to the EXACT same spefication. You would be obversers mostly, getting different angles of every scene. Even the actors in the movie would record from their perspective as well. All the recording will be done with halflifes in game recorder. Need as many camera men as possible, so scenes can be shot without forcing people to work at an inconvienent time. After you record something you would send it to me and we would cut and paste it and make it like an actual movie. Then when we have allt he segments they way we want them, we would splice them into one big movie
- coders and modellers. We cant have every single marine looking exactly the same(sure we can mix it up by having some have the pistol, heavy armour and shotgun, jet pack and hmg) We would also requirre custom animations(not that many)
- server and forum owners - Unless we find a way to save a map the one exact way or are willing to rebuild all the bases exactly, a dedicated server might help. MUST have a private forum to coordinate and communicate
- voice actors. Need around 10 people to do the various marine voices. Let me know if your interested here, but later we would make you do samples to see what roles you could fill. DEDICATION IS A MUST. What a pain it would be if someone dropped out half way through and we would have toredo all their lines
- sound director and technitions - Someone to insert the voice actors and sound effects, and convert film files
Everyone who signs up is urged to consider if they really want to do this. No droppiing out or doing a half assed job. All the scenes would be shot when convienent, where not on a deadline or anything
Also we need to choose what map to do the movie in
ns_bast
ns_caged
ns_eclipse
ns_hera
ns_nothing
ns_tanith
ns_veil
ns_mineshaft
At the very least this movie would be a lot of fun, something you can be proud of participating in, and bring attention to NS

I would LOVE to help out... but I don't think I have the time, what with school in only 2 weeks, I STILL haven't started my summer reading project report... *gurgle*
A Separate Peace... aka The Dumbf*ckiest Book in the World
NS would make a good book too... *yay*
*goes back to fan fiction and reads till he sh*ts himself*

I'll host this on my server, I like this idea. Get in contact with me.
ns_origin is the win with its xen-research and mine.
As for custom maps, we will pick the best map, regardless is it is a standard or custom map. I havn't seen any of the custom maps, but I'll definetly check them out
Thanks Xzilen, thanks a lot, but we wont need it for a while. Wha twe need now is a forum
roles like camera man and voice actors and everyone in between will be interchanagable. The voices will be added later, after the scenes are made and shifted, so one day you could be playing the lead marine, the next doing a matrix like 360 degree camera swoop, the next playing the skulk who, after many failed attempts, finally gets pistoled in the middle of the eyes an inch fromt he barrel in midairwhile the marine does a turn jump
So, the more people we have, the better! the more people, the less we need to have people obligated to work to much/out of convienent times. So far sadly, sign ups are very slow

Count me in and see if we can keep all this updated.
Most movies(Aka movies with money, experiance ,... cameras) cast actors based on who fits best with the role they made. In this movie you get cast for voice acting and we write a script around that voice. If you sound like a gruffy 800 pound walrus we would write you different lines that if the pope signed up
Still our top 2 priorities right now are to get the henchmen and to get a forum. Heck, If you guys know of any forum thats abandoned we could take it over. Later we'd also need to find a way for everyone who recorded the scene to send it to be clipped and chopped and made into an actual scene
The other priority is to et people to sign up. Maybe I didn't make this clear enough, NO SKILLS ORE EXPERIANCE ARE REQUIRED! As a voice actor you just record your lines using a home mic, then send them to our sound guy(need someone to fill this position) to insert ito the scenes. As a cameraman you just put one comannd into consol to record, you get whatever angle you think is cool, type 'stop' in console, then send it on its way. The more people the better, they are all interchangable so the more people the faster we can make scenes with less strain or pressure
Anyone who signed up in PM(you know who you are) could you please sign up here also... for... err... organizing needs
I can be "cameraman", but I could be a voice actor at the same time... I just happen to be a french guy which every good action movie needs one of. =P [Not a huge accent though.]
I'm interested by the project anyway, so what's the storyline like? If it's even made up yet?
first we have to pick a map
Then make the story (ie: aliens take hive 1, fight at douple res, marines loss double hive, make base at other hive)
Then make the lines and script
Then film them
then take the different angles to make one file
then add voices and sound
then put all the scenes together
I think the general story will be frontiersmen are a bunch of pirates/renegades(just a whole lot cooler) and they invade a ship with dead bodies everyhere
Or even, we could come up with something original!
PS, everyone who PM'ed me please also post your submission here
The two best maps (I think) would be either ns_bast or ns_origin. Hmm.. or ns_caged.
Been a while since I played (HD failure), but Hera has the weldable access door, right? if you do choose to use it, then you can have the obligatory "trying to get the door to close to save self from incoming killing machine" scene <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
I KNOW! I started a story set in nancy, never really finished it :/ . This sounds like a fun project.

Okay well just keep letting me know <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
What time zone are you in director?
Do you work? or go to School?
When are you able to be on the film server (of course it would be locked and everyone whos an actory or involved would have to know the pass) so that everyone can get together at the same time?
If your not in the same timezone as me, I don't think I would be much good to you. Is there a script at all? Some organization is really needed, before you can expect to have 20 odd ppl on a server and they work together.
I hope this works, casue I would love to be a part of it.
So What Time zone are you in DIrector?
I'm EST -5:00 if your GMT, count me out! by the time I start to play after school and work, its 10pm your time!
PST, but it doesn't matter really, I wont be directing all the scenes. If I cant do it at a time thats good for the actors/cameramen, someone else can. You just need to read the script and shoot
Do you work? or go to School?
I'm still in school, most of the shooting will be done evenings/weekends, and take no longer than 20-40 minutes
When are you able to be on the film server (of course it would be locked and everyone whos an actory or involved would have to know the pass) so that everyone can get together at the same time?
What I see is lets say we need to shoot 2 marines getting in an elevator to excaped an onos, turn the corner and see an alien infestation, turn back to see the onos patiently pressing the elevator button and waiting it to lower. In the forum(I'm close to having one ready)I would say we will shoot this scene on friday at 7 and ask who can come. If I get 6 or 7 people that will be more than enough, 2 to play the marines, one to be onos, and 4 to be observers. This would be asked a few days ahead of time, and if we have ~40-50 people it shouldn't be to hard to do. And if I cant do it when anyone else can, I can appoint someone who will be able to do it with the group to lead.
Yeah, a french guy and a girl, the awards just hand themselves out(blueberries spefically <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> )
Tommorow we should be starting to do voice auditions
I can do several different voices, and I'm a good "actor"
