    You may wanna wait until HL2 comes out...Supposedly it will ship with a fairly robust "machinma toolset" thats is supposed to be built for stuff like this. Plus they will have tools to convert HL1 content...You wouldnt really need to spice up the visuals or animation or anything (though you could), but it will make the actual movie creation process a thousand times easier and more productive. Or so Valve has said without being too specific.

    It should be possible to "script" the entire movie without ever putting anyone behind the controls of a player. There will be more advanced demo recording features that are built specifically for this type of thing. And I think I remember stuff about camera controls and multiple cameras .Cant back up that last bit, but judging from the new camera stuff in the tech demo, I dont see why that <i>couldnt</i> happen.

    Having the physics and ragdolls at your disposal couldnt hurt either. You could have cool dramatic death scenes with marines falling over rails. Imagine the marines discovering a body in the shadows and sudenly a skulk bites its shoulder and drags it off into a vent realistically...Imagine cloaking effects with DX9!!!

    Ok...Now Im just rambling and daydreaming...anyway, seeing as a 2 hour NS movie will be a huge undertaking, you might just wanna see what HL2 offers in the department of movie making before you jump into it.

    Well, HL2 is nice, but NS isn't there yet... If we wait for NS2, this entire project will probably just fade out...

    By the way, I'm in on this too... Been doing screenwriting and general brainstorming so far, and we could always use some more creative thinkers...

    If its a success, HL2 will be a sequel <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The movie will be set in Bast

    You should use Quanaut as the Commander voice, pld a game last night with him as the comm and was thinking "Hmmm, he sounds like the guy off of the intro movie for opfor"

    i like most playing ns_eclipse but for a movie i vote ns_mineshaft .. because it looks most realistic.. there is cafeterians and sleeping quarters etc.
  • SoulSkorpionSoulSkorpion Join Date: 2002-04-12 Member: 423Members
    bast, caged or hera. Not nancy, DEFINATELY not eclipse.
  • sejsej Join Date: 2003-01-19 Member: 12488Members
    lost is the worst map in ns.


    New hera is nice tho, a landing pad fight would be interesting.

    Origin/Veil/Eclipse would also make for good settings.
  • PlanetkillerPlanetkiller Join Date: 2003-06-05 Member: 17028Members
    It seems to be going the way of Bast/Nothing, possibly (hopefully) set across both maps.

    I think Origin's variety would be awesome... Biodome would look pretty cool to have the Kharaa in!

    Hera would also be great, like sej said a landingpad fight would be grand, maybe with some lerks/fades flying around too! Also, Ventilation would be a wonderful spot for a Kharaa-on-marine slaughter.

    Don't even start. Your edging on a flame there man, I feel like growling...
  • PlanetkillerPlanetkiller Join Date: 2003-06-05 Member: 17028Members
    I think a fight in Atmospheric Proc on Bast would be fun, or maybe that huge pit with the catwalk above it (can't remember the name)
  • PlanetkillerPlanetkiller Join Date: 2003-06-05 Member: 17028Members
    We're still looking for voice actors by the way, particularly one or two female voices. We also have characters, so if you have preference on who to be, it will likely be considered.

    nancy if u can, but I doubt it so bast
  • IdenIden Join Date: 2002-10-16 Member: 1513Members
    Bast, it's just such a beautiful map.
  • PlanetkillerPlanetkiller Join Date: 2003-06-05 Member: 17028Members
    Xzilen: Do the audition on the forum, and you will be.

    It's seems almost sure now that it will be set across Bast and Nothing.
  • bongfarmerbongfarmer Join Date: 2003-02-04 Member: 13119Members
    Sorry guys, bast wont be the main setting, the team decided that nothing will be a better setting for the movie, but we will use bast as the TSA ship(While Nothing will be the station infested). We all feel that bast is a great map, with many great aprts that will be in the movie, but it doesn't quite work in a movie

    We still have plenty of spots open, and right now we need screen writers(All you need to do is drop by and give suggestions on anything, characters, settings, scenes,e ct ect. We need more opinions) Cameramen and voice actors, and right now we fleshed out what we require in the modding portion

    We also need a way to use multiple models for marines.... Characters won't be very interesting if they're all exactly the same size/shape...

    cant wait to see this movie better get more popcorn
  • akou27akou27 Join Date: 2003-08-29 Member: 20358Members
    Yes, we desperatly need people to help with the skinning of the marines. We also need People to help come up with a way for use to pose the models in the game environment. If we can only have marines in default post, then there is no point for a story board. I might as well just draw one frame and replace the backgrounds. So anyone out there? Please respond.

    hehe u can get a scene, where marines have a pg, and tf and some turrets, then down the hall, 6 skulks, 2 lerks, 2 fades and an onos come rushing in... then all these ha marines with hmg and gl teleport in, and they all start shooting... thatd be so cool
  • bongfarmerbongfarmer Join Date: 2003-02-04 Member: 13119Members
    Spoiler?



    Well, in the script the mairnes are just doing a routine inspection and think there is just a cumminication problem, so they go in unprepared(no HA, no heavy weapons). Then sometihng happens and then an hour later a huge scene with the HA flanking the aliensin a huge battle

    If you want to learn more go to the forums
  • PlanetkillerPlanetkiller Join Date: 2003-06-05 Member: 17028Members
    Still looking for voice actors and a audio editor, but we have a preliminary core cast ready, and the outline of a script as well as several scenes written. Character auditions and rehersals will probably begin shortly.

    We also need skins for individual marines (particularly a female one). Any modelling or modding help would be obliged.
