Trailers... Yeah, a very generic title... - Scifi-Meshes.com

**Ramiel** · 11-18-2006, 12:32 AM

Ok, just a quick idea for everyone...

Do you like movies? (of course, this is a retorical question)
Do you like videogames, books, comics? (yep, another one...)

Do you know how (often) movies taken from videogames/comics/books sucks, right?
And I KNOW that all of you hate Uwe Boll...

Now (and this is the idea), what do you think about making some cool trailers inspired by our favourite stuff?
A trailer is shorter than a short movie, usually more intriguing than the movie itself, and since the max lenght of a trailer should be 2 minutes, we should be able to make one!

It could be also helpful for all of us to learn something new (like compositing, editing, shooting and directing).

Now, I'm still trying to find the money for a GOOD camera...
So I can help with: ideas, script (even if my English is so fracking poor), storyboard (I've done that professionally), concept art (I've done that too), matte painting, textures (I'm actually doing that), direction (Yes, I've directed a couple of indie documentaries and some shorts -not released-), etc...
But ATM I can't: edit, compose, filming (without a camera is quite hard...) and hosting, for this reason I was talking of US...

I was thinking about a couple of things, but my only "rule" is. "Noone could touch MY METAL GEAR!"...

But I'm not kidding...

What do you think?
Ideas? Suggestions?
Let me know!

My first ideas are: a trailer for "God of War - the movie" (called only "God of War"), a trailer for "Witchblade" and a trailer for "The Lost World" (the Arthur Conan Doyle novel...)

Let me hear your thoughts

P.S.
Of course I was thinking at LIVE ACTION movies (with real actors)...
Just to be clear

Could be very interesting to see what fellow SFM'ers can show with this. Combination film, editing, and 3D animation (I.E. YOUR Metal Gear).

However, nothing pisses me off more than seeing a trailer for what looks like is going to be a kickass film online, and then the production crew that made it says "Yeah, that trailer was the entirety of the project"

Cheers,
Nick

Whoops, Ramiel. Someone got to it before you did.

Cheers,

I mean a GOOD MG movie...

A lot of people has done a MG fan-film, but noone good enough for my taste!

**Ramiel** · 11-20-2006, 02:35 AM

I've done this last night... (basically a matte painting for the God of War trailer

)

And also a quick (and awfully rough) test (codec: divx5)...
Now are you more interested?

No, seriously, just let me hear your thoughts about the idea...

**nhall** · 11-20-2006, 03:55 AM

Hey, I'm extremely interested. This is wonderful stuff.

Cheers,
Nick

Now we need only a "Vin Diesel" guy and a cam!

well, if there will be more people interested, we can try to do something... Time will tell

P.S.
Thanks nhall

Sound interesting enough. I don't seem to have the correct codec to run the avi. Can you direct me to a link?

	2d art is treated as a bastard child in 3D forums. There are cultures on this planet that are just plain not ready for advanced technologies like explosives and automatic guns
