THE OFFICIAL TRAILER FOR PART ONE OF THE MOVIE IS OUT!

Hello everyone! Today marks the day that I film my first ever feature length movie. But this is no easy feat. I need many, MANY people to support me on this in order to ensure this is a quality product. The types of positions we need range widely, from script writers to voice actors, to set builders and just people idling in the background, we need you. Check out the pre production trailer below and then head on over to the job list to see what you just may be able to do to contribute to this ongoing project!

Wait up! Before you ask to sign up for a position of your liking, please post a sample of your work. For example, if you are a voice actor read a line from romeo and juliet or something and post a link to a sound byte of that recording. Pirating other peoples work gets you no where, because we will find out very quickly if you do. Have fun!

MOVIE PREMISE: [WARNING, POTENTIAL SPOILERS OF THE MOVIE!]

This is going to be an action/comedy movie. There will be a good deal of serious drama, but most of the movie will be comedy. Not corny funny jokes that just graalians understand. DO NOT Put blatant, immature graal jokes in the script if you are going to work on it. If they are in there they need to be discreet Easter eggs, that viewers who are not in the graal community will not notice. Here is the first scene of the movie I have written to provide as an example of the way the movie needs to be written.

Red text indicates a description of a character or an event that is not directly related to the filming of the movie.
---------------------------------------------
Setting: The medieval lands of Aeolia. 1320 AD.
---------------------------------------------

SCENE ONE. ACT 1.

INT-AEOLIA-SUNSET

-- A montage begins as the beautiful lands of Aeolia are revealed. You see rolling hills and lush trees. The camera shows children playing in the street of a poor town, and then it shifts to reveal farmland. The sun begins to set as the camera pans to bring into open a lush village, filled with wonder. The screen then fades, and the title of the movie is revealed. <-- (to be decided)---

INT-ONNET TOWN(town)-SUNSET

The camera pans to reveal Stephan Portha, a young carpenter at the age of 17 raised in an abstruse village in the lands of Aeolia. Stephan feels just a little different. He has felt this way for the entirety of his short life. Something about everything had always felt.... off. But he just couldn't name precisely what it was. This is shown as the camera zooms out to show Stephan standing in an alley of the village, alone.

INT-STEPHAN-SUNSET

STEPHAN: *Crying* "There can’t be anything done. It’s over. No one cares about me... and it’s....... it’s my birthday"
This speech is followed by a long silence. The camera shifts to reveal a house adjacent to the alleyway. This house is Clemente's house. The camera zooms in to reveal two people walking out of the house, looking around. [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]They seem confused. [/COLOR]The camera pans to show Stephan's head in the foreground of the shot.
STEPHAN: *Thinking in a defeated voice* Oh, no. Its them. My parents. What now.....

INT-PARENTS-SUNSET

“Stephan, what are you doing over there! We have cake! Its your birthday, right?”
The camera shows an overhead shot of Stephan unwantedly getting up, and shifts to show from the side of the street a sight of Stephan stumbling his way to the other side of the street to greet his parents. He enters and exits the frame.

STEPHAN: [in a regretful voice] “ Oh, thanks. At least someone has cared about me today.”

ROSALIE: [in a offended voice]”Don’t say that, Stephan! The only thing beating yourself up does is bring you down. You are better than that. Now cheer yourself up and eat that cake.
The camera zooms in to show a close up shot of Stephan's face. [COLOR="rgb(139, 0, 0)"]Stephan appears to be a little happier. [/COLOR]The camera pans out and follows Stephan as he begins to walk forward to eat his cake. The camera shifts to the other side of Clemente as he bends over. An arrow lands in Stephan's cake. A long silence commences. Then the camera takes another shift to show a close up shot of Stephan as he slowly looks up at his parents, implying that he is asking what is happening. The camera shifts to show their facial expressions. They are horrified. The camera shifts to show
Stepahn turning around from the opposite side to see what they are looking at. The camera shifts to an overhead view and pans along to reveal archers surrounding Onnet Town. Clemente steps back. He doesn’t know what to do. There is a long silence. The sound of fire crackling begins to be heard. It gets progressively louder. Then:

VILLAGER ONE: “Run!!!”
Panic fills the street as urgent music floods the shot. The camera returns to the angle it was at when the arrow struck the cake as Stephan and his parents rapidly exit the house. The house is now burning. A close up view of Stephan is now seen as he rushes through the streets. The camera pans to a third person view as many villagers are seen on fire and running in a panic. The camera shows an arrow hitting Stephan hitting his side as he is running.

Stephan: [Screaming] MOM!

The camera cuts to black.

-END SCENE ONE-
--------------------------------

This is the official first scene. The movie must have comedy in it, and retain the dark side witnessed in this short segment. Good luck on finishing the rest of it, because the script is half the work. The rest of the movie NEEDS to be about his struggle. [spoilers again] Even though Stephan has no friends and he is very shy, Stephan is the chosen one. He has special talents and a journey to find his kidnapped parents will reveal these powers and what he is truly capable of. (powers have to be relatively realistic. Not shooting ponies everywhere) That is why the archers kidnapped him in the first scene. On this journey Stephan needs to find a friend, or a lover to aid him and encourage him when times are tough. The ending needs to wrap his inner struggle together, including his lonleyness, and secure his confidence. And we need to be reminded at the very end of the movie in some symbolic way to show how far he has come, and how much more room he has to grow.

Higbey, skin designers will take a lot of work. There can only be one skin designer (for now, at least) as I want to keep the same style for all the characters once the script is out. and we need templates for several different emotions for each character so the person assigned as the character can switch in and out of the skins for the appropriate scenes.

[EDIT] Oh, and you need to post examples of your work.  

Oh one for each emotion? Pft that's easy, edit your armor texture pack and make the helmets blank but have the different emotions on them, then have the skins have no faces. To change emotions they change helms, ei leather-happy,

Only you would need to do it since your the only one filming.

But yea if you need me to make something for a skin ask, but having one person to do all the skins and texture packs? Not gonna work.
