Project Reality Feature Length Film

Hi guys, Acemantura here, with an interesting proposition for anyone (especially Ralfidude) that has any expertise pertaing to making a feature length Film.

I Have a script and the motivation.

What I need from the Community:
Mappers: People that can modify already known maps.
Maya Artists: I need props
Unique Voices: If you have one and a good Mic, Please PM me.
Modders: I might need some new charachters like Flight Attendants, Cab drivers (lol), etc.
And especially experienced editors: I have experience from school but it is most definitly not enough for a project this size.

I am willing to allow freedom for artist flair and input, and even to add or subtract from the script, however I do retain the right to include or exlude any information and input.

Otherwise, this movie is for the community, to teach others how to play, to allow for some comic relief in our community, and especially for a man named John Anette, known to us as PantlessMidget, and If you know anything about him that might hint towards the ending of the film(Mora, hint hint).

I'm posting an excerpt from the begining of the script even though it has some personal notes in it. If you want to see more, PM me

Enjoy Lads

Project Reality Trainer: The Movie

By: [AFG] Acemantura_the_Only



The Map is Strike at Karkand, Vanilla BF2, with boundaries removed.

Capture the Essence of What PR players do not enjoy in Vanilla:
Nade Spamming
Bunny Hopping
Dophin Diving
Hacking
Rambo
Lone Wolfing
Lack of Teamwork

We start at the Gas Station. They all form up into their respective squads in a column; first Alpha, the bravo, and so on until Echo. The commander stands in front of the Squads. Gomer is wandering around. We see John Anette in Bravo squad in the Rear as a medic with the M16 equipped. He is the only medic.

COMMANDER
I’m a man of Brevity. {A Pause} Any questions.

SQUAD LEADER 2
Uh yeah! What’s the plan?

COMMANDER
What Plan?

A Pause while looking at all the squads. We cut straight to a close up of Gomer. A half second pause and then

GOMER
Oh Shit!

The Squads go and attempt to take care of business. They are slaughtered. During the slaughter we see John try to revive a few teammates, but as they retreat, they all get shot except for John. Gomer dies from a grenade chucked right at his feet.

GOMER
Oh Shit!

Boom.
Get uncle Steve to say, “Oh Shit” a few times (In his Gomer Pyle-esque Voice).


John is the only survivor of the ordeal. We see him run like crazy to the Gas Station, where the Commander is waiting for him. The shot is the Commander’s feet to his head, center screen.

COMMANDER
You men! Have been chosen! To go to other operations in the theatre of War.

Cut to a shot of John panting just in front of the Commander. We cut back to the shot of the commander, he then looks to his left and walks off screen. Cut back to John, panting less. As we fade to black we hear a Merlin landing and John is looking up apparently at the helicopter.

[Fade to Black]

Introduction
A Mash-up of what is to come
Music by John Powell - “Treadstone Assassins”

Capture the essence of what a true PR player does in-game (Follow example of Fuzzhead). Montage:
Lazing/CAS
Tank Support
Inf CQB
Destroying Caches

End montage with two Merlin’s being loaded with men on Kashan Desert. An auto rifle must be in the doorway, a Medic and an Officer must be in the rear of the craft.
During the Trip, John Anette is being interviewed by the Crew Chief, known as Heli Sergeant in the script, while both are sitting in the back seats of a Merlin.

HELI SERGEANT
So John, You know what's goin on right?

JOHN
Yes Sergeant, were uh, going to this airbase in Basr...

As the Merlin fly’s by North Village, the Retarded Grunt {Auto Rifle} sitting in the right doorway shoots at some homes and yells while firing. He sounds like Ricky from TPB.

RETARDED GRUNT
Git' some you Raghead Fuck!

HELI SERGEANT
Ricky! that's the third fuckin' time you shot at civies, I’m reportin’ your sorry *** to Sergeant Porter, we'll see how long it takes you to get out from under all the shit you'll be shoveling.

RETARDED GRUNT
But Sarge, he had an AK, he wasn’t no Civie.

Heli gets his binoculars and looks out the back

HELI SERGEANT
That was a brown Lawn chair you Moron!

The Sergeant on the Heli exhales/grunts heavily

HELI SERGEANT
Go on, oh, and uh, just call me Sarge alright kid?

JOHN
Sure Sarge, anyway, uh, apparently we just aren’t good enough yet, coming straight from Basic an' all, so were goin' to an Airbase in Basrah for a miniature joint training exercise with the Ruskies and Brits. We’re getting some new weapons, new vehicles, and a whole new way to take care of business.

HELI SERGEANT
You excited?

JOHN
Hell Yeah Sergeant, I mean, Sarge, I think anyone would be, especially if they spent their time wishing that there was something better than the run of the mill, Vanilla tasting, active service most of us Jarheads get.

HELI SERGEANT
Well I know you love it then

[Crossfade]

The map is Al Basra. We see the two Merlins flying in the southwest towards the City, then north through the burning Oil fields, then right towards the river, then towards the airport. As the heli's are landing on the pads.

HELI SERGEANT
Well I think you'll do fine, just pay attention, watch out for noobies like yourself...

The Helis will be behind the Airport, in the middle of the other of the Airport where the men will be in the Helicopter Standing up, all the soldiers are starting to walk out of the back.

HELI SERGEANT
And one more thing John…

The Sergeant on the Heli and the John are both at the back of the Helicopter, with the Retarded Grunt behind them

HELI SERGEANT
Watch out for those English and Russki accents, sometimes they’ll throw ya off.

JOHN
Will do Sarge, thanks.

From Black, all the Soldiers from both Merlins except The Sergeant on the Heli and the Retarded Grunt are lined up and in formation with the exception of John running to get into formation. 16 total to be in formation. We see a man standing in front of the formation, who is using the officer kit, and has his pistol at the ready

{Brit-John Cleese} PAD SEARGEANT
Get a move on Ya bloody Yank, we don’t have 9 bloody hours to play a game o’ baseball, now do we!?! Right! Those of you who know what you are supposed to be doing are dismissed to report to your NCO, and as for you new guys...

Every soldier but John shuffles, mostly in the same direction towards the C-5

PAD SEARGEANT
Oh, it’s only you then. Well follow me, I’ll take you to Sergeant Porter, hop in the jeep.

JOHN
Yes Sir!

Both John and the Sergeant of the Pad hop in the Land Rover that is waiting, and make an enormous U-turn to get the entrance of the airport, running over most of the soldiers that had just left formation. The Road-Kill soldiers moan and scream

PAD SEARGEANT
Get a move on, you Fakers!

It is a great idea. I know you are very excited and I understand you have put a lot of thought into it. If you want to do this, you will have to be very commited. You will face problems and there is a high chance that what you film won't come back looking as good as what you imagined in your head. It will take a lot of work remember...

now, I'm going to be honest. Have you ever done a project like this?

Or are you more just trying to find people who can do this for your script?

As you probably know, there are a lot of 'movie' proposals around here. Very few seem to even get to the point where they join a server to actually do something.

I love Turk

Anyway, if more of these start popping up I may have to delete some posts. Rudd thank you for the reality check.

Guys I need Community help, extras, voices, some modders, and Hi-Def editors, otherwise the more you Goad me, the More I'll just have to get everything done myself.


My experience in this area includes editing, writing, and filming (With shoulder mounted camera). I have the experience, I just need some help guys. This is for the community, and for me, because I know I can even get it done with Windows Movie Maker, which is all I have. I just might want things to look nicer with Sony Vegas and/or Adobe After Effects.

If you have experience and can spare some time during the Summer this is all I need. Otherwise please keep it to yourself.

Project Reality Feature Length Film UPDATE

Added 4 more pages to script.
I have two voice actors with good mics.
One person is willing to edit and I have purchased Sony Vegas 9.

I might need a Forum moderator to help me out with a new forum for the Film.

I need to split up the work between different members but I dont want everyone to know
the entire plan/script.

Post it up guys, if you want to help or can be involved.

P.S.

If you want to voice act but are worried about wind/breath interference I can tell you how to fix that. Ingridients: Pantyhose, clothespins, and a wire hanger.

Well how else would I get it?

Projected Filming date is May 16, unless I get some modders or Maya artist, then we could get some cool props. Otherwise May 16.

All I get is the summer to do this project at 8 hours a day. This thing is eating away at my life and I need to get rid of it...as professionally as possible.

Will Do Mersh

!Be Advised!
Anyone editing and whatnot will be acting and/or voice acting

!Be Advised!
I will give up the project if I find no Actors and I will go with my Uncle to Washington (With no access to Internet or Computers). I stand to gain mastery in craftsmanship and my Uncles truck. Or I could stay here and create something with the Community.

My Personal Cut-off date for enough actors and support will be at or around MAY 24th.

Pantera...Dude please change your Sig Pic, Im in a public place and cant afford to get a Woody.

But yeah dude, your music songs pretty bombdiggady. If I can meet you on a team speak or Mumble, please PM me, because custom music would be absolutely amazing.

Just to give you an Idea of what I'll be needing: Lots of deep drum music: for tanking. Mood builder music for CQB: Much like Man on Fire if not Man on Fire. And perhaps some Cacophony for begining Vanilla sequence.
