yeah i think the best is real time from ts or vent

but also , if you record in any program , i can put in the voices where ever i want , its easy with a ediiting software.

TwilightOblivion · Sep 16, 2005, 01:03 PM // 13:03

Animo is right, if you record the voices seperately, you can just add them in with Windows Movie Maker or Pinnacle studios.

Tur713 · Sep 16, 2005, 04:12 PM // 16:12

I think we'll use vent just for accessability and that it's something we can all use so kg we'll be using your server. We'll probably need anybody we can get for use of extras among other things. I'll get into more specifics when I have a bit more time and when I have a bit more script. Go ahead and shoot suggestions my way.

Sounds awesome, I love machanima. I can help out with male Ele and Me, and also female W and Nec.

I'd say you'd want one person for camera only (1st person veiw) with UI disabled. The result of that is that PvE combat scenes might be weird and tricky, but tbh I'm not sure if you'd really need that. Just have it dialogue / PvP based.

Would need, as well as "actors" and a cameraman, some people to work on script.

As for voicing, it might not work recording sound at the same time as video, because there'll be a good deal of editting work to do afterwards. However, you'd need to ensure whilst recording video that you got the timing right (ie, spent enough time showing the character so that the voice doesn't overrun).

Final idea, you could have the intro "The last day dawns on the kingdom of Ascalon ..." video but with a different voice-over / captions and use that as a trailer.

Requiem, i like the way you think. First order of buisness; can anyone write up a plotline? Were going to NEED that before anything else can occour. Second, names of characters. I suggest that we dont use our actual characters names and instead come up with names like most of the bosses, npcs, and more have. Like a one word first name that is completely made up, and a last name made of 2 words made into one, the latter of the 2 usualy being a verb. to make an examle, heres one i just made up " Yago Firespitter" or "Gonca Soulrend"

The God Of Metal · Sep 16, 2005, 11:15 PM // 23:15

I'd love to be a part of this! I've seen all of the Red vs Blue episodes and have been wanting to try making something like that for quite some time now. I'f you've got any room left let me know!

Tur713 · Sep 16, 2005, 11:44 PM // 23:44

Okay, I've decided that Twilight, Animo, Req and I are the heads of developement. (KG, as I said you're still in and a large part currently. I'll tell you more of your role later.) That does not mean that there's no room for more, that simply means that it's us calling the shots right now and developing the storyline. So let's start there.

I suggest the main character be an elementalist because they seem to have the least amount of predetermened (spelling?) personality by players so we have a lot to work with there. I know the skeleton of the storyline will base around the games own storyline and if we block out the subtitles, we can add our own words to many of the cutscenes. Besides that, one of my ideas is that the main characters somehow actually trigger the Searing rather than the Charr (by just cutting to the destruction of the town on the cutscene instead of seeing the Charr)

As for the camera man. For the very begining, since only two characters can party together we'll have one of them (or both) filming in order to catch those, so we'll need someone good with a camera on that.

Now, will all our chat be in this thread or shall we come up with something different?

BTW: Who has a wide range of voices for voice acting besides myself?

Sai of Winter · Sep 17, 2005, 09:34 AM // 09:34

Can I be a weekly or seasonal guest in some of the post-searing episodes? I don't need talk because my character is known for being quiet (except for missions) and "Lone Wolf" type. I can use the emotes to do my speaking lol.

Daelin Redoran · Sep 17, 2005, 10:36 AM // 10:36

Lol Sai.

Well I dont have much voice-acting ability, so guess thats out lol.

What I do have though, is W/Mo20 (Daelin Redoran), E/Me20 (Elensar Redoran), Mo/Me20 (Kei Redoran) & R/N20 (Eolyn Redoran). All ascended characters though lol.

You can PM me in-game.

Tell me how I can help!

Regards
Daelin

I was toying with the idea to make my own Guild Wars movies awhile back. Really, I'd love to help out, being an actor of any sort or something else.

I have an Elementalist/Mesmer or Monk who has all but 2 Elementalist skills and most of the mesmer skills. For his monk part, has the peices he needs for a solo-smiter build. (I assume skills might come in handy for some aspects of the movie.) He's also Ascended, fully infused but is 2 missions from game completion.

I have a Warrior/Necromancer female who has a large compliment of skills, and looks great in her mismatched armor.

(She's also ascended and fully infused)

I have a Monk/Mesmer I just made recently that is somewhat dark tanned with blond hair and is early level (just got to Yak's)

Also I have a Ranger/Monk, that just made it to the desert, not level 20 yet. He's the tallest model I could make and black (because you can't lose with a black guy in your group ex: Mr. T in the A-Team.)

All of these characters have RPish names, so hopefully they could all be of use, but I have no problems with deleting one to make room.

So look me up on Guild Wars or give me a message at AIM: Brianisttoll.

Edit: Not sure how my voice acting is, but I'd really like to give it a shot. May I suggest rehersals of some type?

Thanks

Photeus

TwilightOblivion · Sep 17, 2005, 02:31 PM // 14:31

lol I REALLY like the whole triggering the searing idea. Thats good stuff right there. Ele as the main has my vote. I got an e/me and have 2 open slots to make presear chars. I wouldnt mind being an ele.
(hint hint iwannabethemaincharacter hint hint) lol but even if ele isn't the main char I wanna be one, or a mes. i think i would be good at them. If I havent previously made this clear im a guy, so I would play males.

kg_lildude1 · Sep 17, 2005, 04:35 PM // 16:35

2 open slots for pre sear, would take my pvp slo but thats fine

i can do a couple of voices but predominately i have a deep voice, sorta like sarge but worse

i would like to be a male war or male monk or male ranger, and it's name would be phobos soulcharge or something

we would have to make the war a supreme idiot because all he knows is how to smash stuff, lol

Drago Solaris · Sep 17, 2005, 06:40 PM // 18:40

oo big bowl, smash?

no, dont smash.

no smash?

thats right.

right so smash!

*hits bowl causing the searing*

TwilightOblivion · Sep 17, 2005, 06:50 PM // 18:50

lol, lets portray the charr as a friendly race, who we then provoke by ruining a ritual (like breaking a ceremonial bowl...) who in turn destroy our city and our land by invoking the wrath of their "fire gods"...

Sweet, I love this idea! Okay, so the main character is an Elementalist, we'll stick with that for now. Yeah, I think he ought to be stuck with a dimwitted Warrior, but he could also meet some others in the presearing including a Monk who really hates his job, he may even teleport in the middle of a mission sometimes. He's kinda like, "God, I hate you guys." I'm liking how this is coming along. Okay, let's get some names for the main characters going. For the Warrior, I like the name Grunto, but is anyone else has something, go ahead and shoot it my way; I am in no way attatched to the name if something better comes along.

TwilightOblivion · Sep 17, 2005, 09:23 PM // 21:23

Grunto isnt bad, and the whole monk hating his job is a nice touch. Personally for an ele I like the name Tyran. Id be like, "Grunto, S.T.F.U.!"

BTW post your AIM names here. If you dont have AIM, get it, your gonna need it. Mine is RabidHamsterX.

The God Of Metal · Sep 17, 2005, 11:48 PM // 23:48

I think there should be a stuck up Mesmer who thinks he's better than everyone else who comes into the story at some point.

Sai of Winter · Sep 18, 2005, 12:16 AM // 00:16

How come we need to post our AIM sn?

The God Of Metal · Sep 18, 2005, 12:36 AM // 00:36

I second the above question.

Photeus · Sep 18, 2005, 12:40 AM // 00:40

I think posting our AIM sn will allow us to communicate faster, to help get things rolling a bit more quickly, that's just my opinion.

Also, I'd like to suggest something different for the Warrior. It's just my opinion that a dull-witted Warrior is how most will expect he will be portrayed. I suggest going with something a little different. Perhaps a well-spoken, heroic voiced Warrior, perhaps with the same dim-witted name, but who is simply terrible at fighting and very clumsy (thus still causing him to break the bowl, cause the searing and such.)
