Hey everybody! As some of you hopefully know, I am the SG Movie Guy around these parts and I've been trying to get another film project put together for...well...months. I had some ideas, did some storyboards, but the stories just weren't panning out and the plans were too big. Real stylized, all custom maps, custom skins, all that crap. Too many bells 'n' whistles without just making something fun.
So instead, I've decided to do a small side project (I'm in the middle of planning my first feature length indie film), which is basically as it says: we film a movie, or at least a scene, in one day, and then that's it. We film it, I edit it, the movie's done. We use all existing materials and maps from the actual game and just have lotsa fun!!! Believe me, compared to the amount of work the other way was going to be, this is a lot more enjoyable for everyone involved.
So here's what we have here, Part 1. I call this part 1 because either it's going to be the first of a series of films (who the hell knows at this point) and also because this is phase 1: if we're using the existing game maps and characters, what's the location?
As you can see, the above poll asks you the question...WHERE are we setting this here movie? I've chosen a list of maps I'd like to use, but it's hard to choose specifically sometimes, so I wanted to get some assistance in narrowing it down.
I'll give this a little over 24 hours, maybe 36, to get an answer. I won't be taking recommendations not from the list simply because I can't think of a scenario on most of the other maps (or in Coyote Bluff's case, it's too moody, requiring a more precise staging/choreography style). I'm going for a location that has a lot of variety in its style and flavor.
The main thing to remember is that this movie has to be done IN A DAY. If we don't finish the shoot in a 3-5 hour shooting day, welp, better luck next time! The only way we go for a second day is if over 75% of the film is filmed.
In any case, hopefully this gets some interested folks. I know people have been wanting to see another SG film since The Final Gunfight is old as hell. If you wanna be a outlaw in a movie, here's your chance!
