As all of you members know, im on like 25/8 and therefore i have very much time on glest. This thread is going to be a serious attempt at making a good movie of glest. I`ts not going to be made entirely in blender, using motion trackers like Vodoo planning on real life scenes with glest battles allowing for huge armies. Yes, i got cam and i live with five huge mountains, obviously others might help if they got cams and areas were we can record.
Rules
- Atleast more than three lines of text
- Grammar-checked and spell-checked
- Good thought through story with unexpected out comes
- If you have anything else to say concerning this thread, divide with a "hr" line
- When new characters is introduced, please make 3D model of it, this also applies for new units
- Keep in mind that this is going to end somewere too.
As -Archmage- pointed out in the "RPG" thread, no random loss conquer and income of reinforcements, as obvious as it might seem, no you must not have this in story! Reinforcements is allowed, but they need to appear with logical explaination and not with, and there the reinforcments arrived" without any form of explaination to why they appeared.
If anyone is willing, please, feel free to make a map were the events will occur, it will probably be much easier to think of something if you know were all of this is happening. The map should be big and contain a lot of interesting places.
Imagination is also allowed and preferred, it is after all fantasy so feel free to insert dragons and orcs or whatever you can come up with. Just remember to make a 3d-model for it and PM it to me, or post it like this "and then the
dragon appeared out of nowere"
Factions in the movie? All of the good ones, but honestly, penguins doesn`t really fit here...mainly tech and magic since then you don`t have to create new 3d-models, you already have em downloades...hopefully...
