SFM Film Project Needs you! (New requirements!)

[Safe@2nd]

To be honest, I've never tried to write in script form but it should be doable. That's the way a story plays out in my head anyway.

if you want to see how a script is written out, there are a few on the net.
here is a good place to see how it done Movie-Page.com: Scripts A-M

The end to PArt 1 is very .. Firefly..

I like both.. and I've done some screenwritting for classes and such.. Once you read about it a bit.. it's not all that hard.. just have to realize a few other details..

I'd be happy to help with the sound design, mixing etc.

Thanks DAve, I let you know when we need something.

Sry, I'm currently at an @-cafe. In our home did the internet and phone-connection broke down. I'm not sure when I'll be able to get back online. Then I'll make the sound-file.

Thanks for the praise and tips Norman and Freak!

Most of what I write plays in my head like a movie, but I may ask you for some guidance on how to convert my ideas to script form if that's all right Norman.

I am currently taking a writing class to hone my skill and they will touch on script writing too.

Interesting. Too bad I don't have the time to contribute much at this time, but I might be able to pitch in some simple enviroment/vehicle modeling work here and there.

[Freak]

Thanks for the offer Lt. Cannonfodder, we will let you know if you can help out.

At this stage we are not ready to start building models. but we are putting all the different departments togther.

Hey everyone,

The project has now moved to a stage where the team is looking to get started on preliminary concept design. This is an "original universe" project, so as you can imagine, there's a very wide scope to stretch your creative wings. Eventually the project will require designs for everything- environments, interiors, characters, and transport (both spacefaring and land-based) as well as smaller items such as tools, personal survival equipment, and weapons- there really is something for everyone at this stage.

What the fledgling Art Department is in need of now is people who are interested and capable of designing characters and transport-style craft. Massive experience is not essential, but you must be capable of presenting, explaining and translating your concepts to a 3D modeller, and be aware of the limitations inherent in designing for CG Production.

There are no hard and fast rules regarding style or format, so it's a very open brief. The only specifics are that we are not designing for Star Trek or some other "utopian" future environment. We're looking at the Rebel contingent in Star Wars, Blade Runner, New BSG and the Marines from the Alien franchise as stylistic pointers to developing a unique industrial look, so anyone with a passion for well-used industrial-style technology should really enjoy designing within this concept. We're very keen to keep this as realistic as possible, while developing a unique style.

Now here comes the bit that you all know and love. As usual, the team as it stands can't offer you riches beyond your wildest dreams, or a seat at Pixar for your efforts. Anyone who chooses to help out will be doing so out the goodness of their hearts, to have a bit of fun designing pretty much whatever they like with a bunch of guys that are silly enough to want to put it all together.

What I will say is this:

This is not another "holy ****, its another fan take on a copyrighted franchise, its got as much chance of making money as a 30 stone prostitute no matter how good it is" project.

Right now, it's a group of guys who just want to see how far they can push themselves while trying to do something that so many others have failed at, but the original nature of the concept means that it could go much further than that if we get it right. Who knows what's possible, after all- every great story started with someone holding a pen, right?

Anyone with any questions, or wishing to volunteer their time and expertise, may post here, or send a PM to either Freak, Andrew March, or myself.

Regards,

Greg.
