How about a Freespace movie? All the best writers and animators get together, and we all wright a Freespace: The Great War movie, then (maybe) animate it!

[Thorn]

I'm a terrible writer.. but I can do the animating
if Mikhael will just lend me some of those meshes of his.....

[Riven]

How big is this movie gona be? cos it's gona take quite a while to download me guesses. Plus HLP are trying to cut the amount of stuff on their servers.

But its not a bad idea. I'me working on a vasudan mesh at the moment if thats any use?

[Ulundel]

Very good idea.

*opens max*

[Unknown Target]

So, who wants to start off the script?

[Darkage]

Like Thorn said, i suck at writing.

But i also can do the animating thats easy.

[Carl]

does anyone have a cray?

[Unknown Target]

Oh God, please don't make me start it
I tried to do this earlier, and it came out like the FS1 intro, which is not what I wanted.
Please someone start it, and I'll pitch in from there!
WAAAAHHHH!!!!

Why not start off doing just a scene or main batrle (like 3 minutes or something .. up to 10 if possible) from one of the Campaigns or games. Include shots of the ships captains giving orders, hull breaches, people fixing stuff in engineering.. all that junk. Then make it all space battle with drama (Alpha one giving orders.. pilots dropping like flys left and right)

This wil be more then 10 min if you add inside stuff to it and mix it in the main battle. And it's realy hard to do realisticly.

I'm not the one that suggested a movie

[Thorn]

If someone wants to give me $30000 to take the courses.. I'll do it myself

[Nuclear1]

Nice idea, but this isn't the type of story you should be looking for.  It's too big, too cheesy, and too much of a story to make a movie.

What you guys want is something smaller, with more action.  Probably a short bit with just fighters or something.  Create a short rather than a full length movie, which would be far beyond our capablities or attention spans.  There are a few good short stories in the Archive, like Flamerace (which would probably work best, in my opinion) and a couple of others.

If you're serious about this kind of thing (and knowing this place. . .), I'll be happy to help.  But I want a finished product out of something like this, not just some half finished ideas and random news posts.

MAKE THE MISSING FS1 CUTSCENES!

you don't need that, but you need people that would work on it from the begining to the end, and that's the pb: it won't happen, period. So I'm out of this, play nice guys

I tried this with a Radio Drama - which is much easier than a movie - a while back and it died. Good luck tho.
