11/09/05 - The Movies (Everything)

[schild]

I give you this without explaining it at all. Needless to say, we at f13 are excited.

[stray]

You've gotta make a thread for player created movies too :-D

[Samwise]

Dear God, that's this week?  Hope it runs on my shitty old graphics card.

[stray]

I'm going to start off with making my own Rat Pack. Then....A Brat Pack. Then a slew of foreign imports. A Method Man. A Calandar Girl. A Token White Guy. A Token Black Guy. A Token Mexican Guy. A Token Chinese Guy. A Buddy. And of course, several dozen highly adored, but untalented hacks.

[edit] God, I hope this game even allows it.

[Sky]

Ah, the smell of napalmed gamer's hopes and dreams in the morning.

I mean, really. Good luck with the not sucking and living up to hype.

It's a Lionhead game. Pete Molyneux. The guy who promises the moon and delivers a little turd in a box.

[Merusk]

Shhh Sky. If you mock them too early they keep the angst to themselves.

Really, though, I don't see how the game can live up to its hype.  If it does it'll be fantastic, but I just have visions of another NWN toolset as far as the 'movie making' aspect goes.

[stray]

Actually, I was pretty skeptical about it up until last week. I'm not sure what's come over me.

The desire to make Logjammin' 2?

[stray]

I don't know. Is that a good thing? I only want to do good things.

[Fabricated]

Who said we white man?

I think he was using the royal "we".

[HaemishM]

I'm positively erect with the excitement.

The only trepidations I have about the whole thing are about the ease of importing sound files and effects, and the portability of the movies after they are made.

I can only assume (hope) that the first mods for the game will allow nudity and humping. I look forward to the Hot Coffee-esque screeching that will ensue when Jack Thompson finds out about it. I can also be quite afraid of the lawsuits and copyright infringement bullshit that will come when people start making music videos with their favorite songs.

[Hoax]

<sinister voice>You thought they were pissed off when you set their music to in-game footage from some MMO...  YOU WERE WRONG!  Now that you can make music videos with some video game that are hundreds of times more creative and entertaining then the real thing, there will be lawsuits!  Oh yes glorious lawsuits.</sinister voice>

[Sky]

I'm positively erect with the excitement

Yeah, you liked Fable, too, chicken chaser.

[Furiously]

I'll be buying it if I can make a Zombie movie.

The Money Shot patch.

Fable wasn't a bad game, it was just never going to live up to the hype the developer gave it.

[Samwise]

I'll be buying it if I can make a Zombie movie.

The first two demo movies they released were zombie movies. 

So I'm going to say there's a very good chance you can make zombie movies with this thing.   :-D

[voodoolily]

Sigh. I hate this time of year. I hafta re-institute the "no buying stuff until X-mas" rule so I can actually get something Sauced will like and doesn't have. Not that this is a hint, honey, go ahead and get this if you think you'll be sick of CoV in a month. But nothing else. I need to have something up my sleeve.

Actually, my friend to whom this game should most obviously be given (working in Hollywood now) isn't even a gamer. That sentence was worded very confusingly.

[Sauced]

I was already planning on asking for this for Christmas.  And I was already planning on asking that friend you mentioned if I could use one of his throwaway scripts, so we'll see how offended he is by that.  Maybe the 80's style buddy-cop movie where one of the cops has Downs and the other one is totally hot?  He might let that one go.

[schild]

Ok, after hearing that synopsis, we're definately going to have a Movies forum/download area.

Damon would think that's awesome. So would I.

Edit: can you do your own voice acting, or is there a function (a la Hawking) that does it for you? Damon should do some of the voice acting if the former is the case.

[Sauced]

Sadly, I just remembered that he was co-writing that stellar piece of epic trash, so maybe not.  But holy shit is it hilarious.

[voodoolily]

It's okay, sweetie. You can just remake Pink Slip.

[Furiously]

So - let me get this straight - I can make "House Of The Dead 2". The wonderful thing is it would be hard for any reviewer to say it was worse then the original. And if they did. They would still be impressed....

[NiX]

Move over Uwe Boll! Here I come!

[HaemishM]

You can record your own voice tracks.

[Bunk]

From what I've read, you record your own voice tracks. Otherwise it sounds like you get Sims style garblish talk with subtitles.

The whole copywrite thing will be interesting. I'm already planning on ripping out all of the voice tracks from the KotoR games and building dialogue out of them.

Hmm, wonder how I could merge characters from KotoR and V:Bloodlines in to a coherent plot...

[Furiously]

I'd prefer if you have the Malkavians kill all the Kotor characters.

[MrHat]

Really, if you can share your movies, this will be totally kick ass.

[stray]

I can do around 2 dozen dialects and accents fairly reliably, and I can do plenty of cliched voices too if you like. I'm trained in the Michael Chekhov theory of the Psychological Gesture, but have a liking for Eric Morris as well. Just for you guys, I'm yours for $30 an hour..If you like 

[stray]

Oh, and for $50 an hour, I'll give you a Score. It's a bargain really.

[WayAbvPar]

A Score? Is that some kind of lap dance or something? I am passing either way, but perhaps some of the distaff members of the community would like more details

See, what you should have said is $20 a pop for snarky one liners and creative word inventions.

Of course, you'd have some tough competition with Haemish. It'd be the battle of Sexual Innuendo vs RAGE. Gumjobs vs Crotchpheasants.


Geez....What the hell am I talking about?

[MrHat]

Low-fat cockmuffins and a grande 2% anal jelly?
