<div class="IPBDescription">A Scriped Demo For Release</div> Would anyone be interested in joining together to creath a NS movie by using the demo record option in half-life? The demo could have a story and a plot. The movie will be aimed to be a entertaining movie with a big plot. We could plan outh every scene and all the dialogue.

Here would be some of the aspects for the creation of the epic NS moive:

1) A good script ( Phase 1)
2) If needed mappers to create the scenes (Phase 2)
3) Casting of actors/extras/narrators/credit list binders/off scene workers/directors/camera demo recorders/music or sound creators/decreators using the half-life spray paint/a private server (Phase 3)
4) Rehearsal on a private server (Phase 4)
5) Shooting the movie (Phase 5)
6) If needed critics to give their opinions on the movie (Phase 6)
7) Editing if possible (Phase 7)
8) Marketers to persuade natural-selection.org or other websites to host the movie (Phase 8)
9) Public release of the movie (Phase 9)

<span style='color:red'><b>Phase one</b></span> is now open! If you are creative and can think up of a good plot please write a script and post it! The script can take place in one of the official NS maps or you can imagine a map setting. If you immagine a map setting please describe it, so mappers can create the scenes.

Also if you have a demo movie of your own or an exciting demo of combat, please submit it here.

If you would like to participate in the making of this movie please post that you will, and what you would like to be (actor, camera demo recorder or any of the other positions).

Please don't just message me. Please post your thoughts or what you want to be in this project, on this topic to keep this project alive. You can still message me if you want. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

<span style='color:yellow'><b>Also</b></span> would any moderators consider placing this topic under the "Important Topics" list to keep this project seen by the NS community?

This project should be kind of rushed, becaused if this should take over 1 month, people may lose intrest in participating.

<span style='color:yellow'><b>Also</b></span> maybe the people involved in this project could also help in a commander tutorial demo for new players.

If anyone is interested in this project please post!

The gamesnet channel for it is <span style='color:orange'>#nsMovieProject</span>. The channel may be used if this project moves along.

    So another group of people are also doing the same idea... Well this could be anoter move. Maybe the there could be a NS Demo Festival after eveyone has time to prepare. The festival could have the NS fourms members to judge the demo entries.

    Well back to the topic, will anyone submit their script. Maybe the scripts that are submitted in this topic could be judged.

    The estimated time for this project if it is done may take about a little while to rehearse and record.

    If about 15 people will be winning to play any role then this project could be completed. Once this project has established the cast, then it is just a rushed rehearsal that could take place the same day the demo movie will be recorded. The scene idea may be taken out to save time. If you would like to be apart of this, please post.

    Anyone intrested in joining this NS movie project?

    I hope one day a team will be successful in this area. I've seen many people try, but couldnt produce anything, so good luck! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I was just watching a demo tonight and for some reason every so often it would get really slow. At first I was annoyed but then it got cool, it was like bullet time for NS. The demo was pretty action packed and the slowdowns would happen in firefights. I watched from first person spec and it looked like the Matrix. The muzzles flashes would get really big and bright, the shell casings would slowly fly throug the air crashing to the ground making that sound that they make, the skulks would fly slo-mo throug hthe air and every action could be seen perfectly. It was sweet

    Anyway, got me thinking that it might be pretty cool to try to recreate something like that. Bullet time NS demos.

    Well, let us read it...
  • Fire_EelFire_Eel Join Date: 2003-08-19 Member: 19950Members
    erm.....a script? Here goes nothing........

    Beginning scene , start of the show-this is about the Kharaa using Bacterium to take over a huge spaceship's controls and using the turrets to target a smaller Marine ship. Many people die but the survivors managed to get onto the now hostile spaceship, not actually knowing what happened.

    1 small escape pod whizz through space and head right for the huge hostile spaceship as their former marine spaceship explodes completetly. In the little pod are 2 marines with helmets on their heads so you cannot see the face. You can hear them breathing deeply though. As the little escape pod almost crashes into the much much bigger spaceship, several emergency boosters light up and the pod stops about 1 metre away from the spaceship.

    Marine 1 " Oh my god.........the Providence destroyed our TSA ship completely................everyone's dead............ "

    Marine 2 "................."

    Both marine 1 and 2 pulls open a hatch and they jump into the spaceships interior.

    Once inside, they immediately take out their guns and aim everywhere. Marine 1 " looks like its safe, no Kharaa infestion. " Marine 2 " Then why did Providence attack us? Surely, there must be a Kharaa Infestion here. " As they shine their torchlight everywhere, they unknowingly walk past a half-eaten marine corspe. Theres a large shutter in front of them and as they press the switch, the shutter pulls up to reveal an enormous hanger.

    Another hatch from the distance opens, and 2 other marine without helmets rolls out. 1 of them is a female. " Sophia! Mike! You 2 are okay!!! " Marine 2 shouts happily as he runs towards them to help them up. The 4 then begans discussing about their current situation and 1 of them slowly backs away while looking around the entire hanger.

    A drop of saliva touches his head and he "huh" in surprise. "what the?" Before he can finish, an enormous Onos uncloaks behind him. ( In the movie, Onos are 2 times larger than they are in the game ) The Onos then opens its mouth wide and before the marine can finish his scentence, grab him up using his mouth.

    Everyone hears a muffed scream and look behind to see their friend who now has got the upper half of his body in the Onos mouth while his legs are kicking fractically. " MIKE!!! " everyone screams. The Onos then swings its head, slamming Mike hard into the wall. As he drops to the floor, you can see many teeth marks on his body, he no longer moves.

    All the marine takes out their LMGs can fire at the Onos. The Onos lets out a roar just like a T-Rex roar from Jurassic Park and charge them. It almost rams into a marine but he manages to dodge and roll to the side. The Onos insteads, rams into several metal crates, crushing them completely " Jeff! Watch out! " Sophia screams. The Onos then tries biting him but it misses again. It roars again and charge at the marines once more. The marines try dodging again but Sophia was too late, the Onos charged past her but its massive body hits her and she flies away and knock into the wall, unconcious now.

    " HERE!!! HERE!!! " Jeff cries as he opens a safety Titanium wall. The other male marines then carries Sophia and jumps into the new room with Jeff just as the door slides down. Immediately, the Onos rams the door but luckily, the Titanium stands against the Onos attack. After a while, the Onos lets out a final roar of anger and begins trodding away, as its loud footsteps slowly fade away.....................

    I would love to join as an actor, even though I have a lot of real life stuff to do at the moment. But I might be able to spend a hour or two for the movie every day. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Just PM me if you are interested.

    Nub to record demos use HLTV (comes with HL the exe is found in the HL root direcotry). It records what is going on and you can go back in after you record it and spectate/watch anything. No need to just walk around filming in game.

    I don't know if this project will be made. But there may be a chance that it will. If about 15 people are intrested, then we could sue the record demo option to create a demo in a short amount of time. The record option may be used instead of hltv. Hltv allows people to go anywhere in the map to watch anything, right? But we may need to stage some things off camera when the other "actors" are "acting." An example is 20 meters away from the camera, helpers are weaking the onos and other ailen offence before the recorded assault.

    So we have a few people that are interested. It may not take a while because it may be shot in 1 day. That doesn't mean 24 hours... It means like a few hours maybe. We need about 10-15 more people.

    I am a mapper, but I only really know how to make CS maps and I am still not good at that. I guess I could help for much simpler areas, but I should be considered a last priority.

    [part of the script] maybe for something funny, we could have a VERY elite hacker, and have him actually using hacks, making it very obvious, then make him get eaten <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    There was a script that was submitted on page one by Fire Eel. Can you give some feedback on the script? Is the script a good script? If you are going to write a script for this project, think if the events in the script can actually happen using NS.

    I just want to know what happened to pre-selection, the guy had a hard drive crash, he recovered, then all news disappeared...
  • Fire_EelFire_Eel Join Date: 2003-08-19 Member: 19950Members
    depends.......

    If its a movie made using ingame stuff from NS then no.

    If its a movie made with a billion-dollar-budget, real famous actors, excellent directors, and created by Universal or Warner Bros.......then yes.
