anyone interested?

[Dr.Jeckyl]

in either a ThePlatoon comic or short movie series? i'll put up the space if we can get some interest and some serious participation. i think it would be a hit if we could find a niche, or something we can work off of that members would find entertaining.

what do you think?

when we did the platoon comic it was a hit. we could build off that and refine it a bit to make it even bigger and a bit more professional.

Why ruin it by making it more professional?  The first comic was killer. Good artwork

If anyone is up for grabbing the movie footage, I dabble in editing (and generally do a hell of a job with it). I just dont game enough to care about getting footage nowdays. Closest thing I could offer is getting NFK on a source server and owning him then listen to him squeal like a bitch over the comms...

by more professional i meant a bit more organised and scripted. i still would like to only use ms paint as the tool. THAT is what made the comic i think.

@Shrap: if you guys are ever playing late when i'm up i can catch some footage. but someone like nfk with a better rig would get better than i.

Since you guys seem to be movie enthusiasts I thought you might like to check this out.

I've got a little movie that I made using Operation Flashpoint, Windows Movie Maker, and a few effects.  It is  going to be part of a promo video for the Operation Trident campaign+island.

I should say that the thermal effect in the video is not in Operation Trident or Operation Flashpoint, I just wanted to see what the footage looked like with the effect on.

My PC can handle getting the footage- its not so much about that. Are you wanting just an action packed video promoting the website or one involving a bunch of tp members playing together?

If its the latter- itll be a problem for me. I dont play many games other guys on here play. Thats why I was saying I would need footage from games like RvS, GR, BF2, SC, etc.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

i was hoping to get some interest here to maybe, just maybe get a series going. something along the lines of either music videos or machinima.

when RvS was popular we had alot of music videos floating around and that was kinda cool.

it's going to have to be a cooperative thing that a team will have to get into. i'm willing to give it a go with whatever i can contribute just to see it get off the ground.

i think RvS could work. in the redVsblue halo machinima series one of the key features of it was that the player can lower thier weapon up and down which was used for speaking. with RvS im sure there are tons of way we could accommodate movements into it. mi making any sense?

i think RvS is a great candidate. most of everybody here plays/played it.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

sounds like a good idea.

maybe something along the lines of an elite squad of SWAT always get into conflicts with each other right in the middle of a mission?...hmm...

i would reinstall RvS for this in a heartbeat.

[el aye]

I think BF2 would work better, but then again not everyone has it.

[MaJix]

I think more people have bf2 on their systems then they have RvS

[nicotineforkids]

I'd be willing to voice act and write for the script. The video capturing and editing though.. that's all you guys.  :wink:

[Lazerblade]

I personally think any game can work, so long as the video capture can be manipulated accordingly. With the right tools, it's not hard to add a character to a scene simply by editing. Not to mention creating a background and panoramic view to "push" scenes together. I think it could be done easily with the right tools. Wish I could contribute, but I'm on a "vacation from broadband" at the moment (heading to school in October, may move as soon as a week from now). I'll help out where I can if you guys are still working on something by then. I'd love to get something in a team effort that we could use for a portfolio.

[Dr.Jeckyl]

it would have to be a game that has MP and the ability to spectate that is why i mentioned RvS. it would be alot less work that way. my opinion tho.
