Adding on to the movie....NO INSTATURNING ON THE GROUND ON PRONE ETHER!! God you have no many times I've had to go back and ref-film because some guy accidentally turned to fast on the ground and it looked like he was just turned effortlessly.

Also if you want another guy looking through the battle recorder files with fraps I can do that and editing.

what do you guys think of these effects for the insurgent group pictures?

I have a game pad, I don't use it for BF2 though. But ill plug it in and mess with it to get the controls and sensitivity correct. And I like the effects in that picture too. Oh and I suppose I should let you know, I won't be able to help with the video after April 17th, and possiblly a couple days before. So if you start recording after that time just let me know and Ill stop spamming your thread

Note to everyone who's doing this:
I know its fun to goof off with a bunch of guys, specially when your sitting their and the directors giving directions to someone else, but DO NOT start jumping around and shooting and stuff!!! Save it for after the filming, go crazy afterwards, BUT not when your supposed to be standing there quietly!

To go into the prone position, pressing crouch for a full second, then prone could make it look better.
If you watch the PR .3 trailer in the background of your server list, you see a sniper/marksman insta prone ontopp of a building. Looks so dam funny lol. Dont do any rappid changes in direction like strafing left then right.

recording will take place friday april 13th from 7pm to 9pm EST
on this private server

IP: 209.40.101.101
port: 16567

password: intro

note: this password will be effective only the 13th

dig up your RPGs and your AKs from your backyards

we will be hanging around to take group pictures and traveling around in 1 big group

to get more variety in the insurgents,
4 will spawn as USMC, make a squad, request the saw, 1 spec ops, 1 grenadier and 1 rifleman
they will then go to the insurgents and "give" these kits
and spawn back as insurgents
it will be to simulate captured weapons by the insurgents

mix the insurgents kits too
ie: rpg "give" his kit to the specop
making a RPG guy with the specops skin
you get the idea

trade kits around at the beginning of the rounds to have different skins for the same class making the insurgents a lot more diversified

lets say that the ideal would be to have each isurgent looking different/unique

after that no one should kill/die

a road map will be added HERE to tell you where i want you to go into the city with the stop locations for the group pictures

remember travel in 1 big group
there will be 2 or 3 pickup trucks travelling with you or among you
depending on how many will show up
they will roll at the same speed you are walking

hopefully at 8 pm we will have gone trough everything we needed for the intro
unless there is any problem
if not we will continue untill 9pm

once we are done, those that want to stay can mess around to find good poses
it will still be recording
they might be selected as complementary scenes
or used in the generic to present the actors

remember if you say idle(standing or crouched) at some point there will be character animations going on
these are the kind of animations I want to capture
every weapon has its own...

I'll try to be there. Won't make any promises, though... It depends on the GF, my friends and my level of sleepiness.
