4815162342 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Since "Behind the Camera" is for general discussion about the game, this thread is where people can discuss Year 1 films and most things pertaining to Year 1's progression.Hired Guns is fully posted for me. I'm in the process of editing and cutting down The End of the Universe's orginal summary before posting the plot. My goal is to reduce the original's length by 25% and it should be up fully by tomorrow night Call of Duty should be finished a day or two later, which leaves the rest of the time to work on other projects for this year.

Community Manager Water Bottle Posted November 20, 2011 Community Manager Share Posted November 20, 2011 I'm working on five of my six films, though my first one is already up. I know that most people probably won't like it, but it was me experimenting with having three main characters (and six core relationships) instead of having just one as I usually do.

Impact Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well I'm still figuring out Barren World. I had a decent opening written on BOM, but alas it is gone. (I had it in my PM box there, never thought I lose it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I finished Band of the Decade and need to work on my main film INterconnected. I am doing some similar plots for Nanowrimo but not really the same genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShark Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Still writing on Spellforce: The Order of Dawn. S-L-A-V-E would be finished but Year 1 is already filled with too much fantasy like blockbuster films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Well I have a few ideas for some films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 We will need some fillers to get the schedule to have enough films, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 We will need some fillers to get the schedule to have enough films, correct?Once everyone (like Ry) appears and posts their main films, then it'll be filler time to get films on every week (and have most weeks have at least 2 openers, though some weeks with a big blockbuster opening can open alone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Welcome to the game Dark Alfred, your film Seventh Seal could do good, but Tom Cruise just does not sound correct for that type of role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 He's gonna prove the critic's wrong. The film starts off with a huge, 30-minute battle scene, he has the experience. He did dramatic roles well in the past. It's basically the mixture of The Last Samurai and Eyes Wide Shut for him.I'm thinking of three more films.

4815162342 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 A couple things in general:First, I see some people using "12A" or "15" as the rating. We're using the MPAA rating system so it has to be G, PG, PG-13, R, or NC-17.Second, if you're posting a film that hasn't been marked down in the Studio Plans thread beforehand, make sure you're not using a director who's already claimed for a type of film at that time of year. Even the best director can only squeeze in two films a year and once in a blue moon can that director have those two films open relatively close to one another (in fact the only reason Tintin and War Horse are opening the same month this year is because of Tintin's very long post-production phase to get the motion-capture perfect). I'm not going to call out certain people, but you can't throw down a film on the spot with "Spielberg" as the director if a film of a similar type with a nearby release date also has Spielberg directing and has been made aware to the public through the Studio Plans thread.

Impact Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yes the MPAA ratings I thought I pointed that out that they need to say those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I just started this game, now edited a few things, so I fixed my rating system. We should be checking out the actors as well, right? I mean one shouldn't have 3 or 4 films in a single year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well I only have very little written of Barren World. I'm feeling creative, but I'm just not sure what to do right now.I also have Kittyhawk that I'm going to start writing later, it will be my OC.

We should be checking out the actors as well, right? I mean one shouldn't have 3 or 4 films in a single year...Sometimes actors have a very busy year (Jude Law in 2004, Jessica Chastain this year, etc) but generally an actor/actress shouldn't have a prominent role in more than 2 or 3 films in a year. Likewise, shoehorning in a biggish actor/actress into a minor supporting role is foul unless it's one of those big ensemble story films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Well I'm trying to figure out who be good as the Wright brothers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creator Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 How many people are playing this year? I am trying to determine who much interest this game has on this site. If things go smoothly, I may be around for Year 2, according no delays and it corresponds with Christmas time, at which point I'll be off and my girlfriend will be in Texas the whole time (sad face), so I will have more time. I'll also be here all this week for the most part, but I'll probably fade off the face of the Earth until Christmas time after this week ends, so it would be most advised that I skip Year 1.

Impact Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Dang I had a pretty good idea earlier today but didn't get it down since I didn't feel like it (plus the site was being slow, it kind of is still)But now I can't remember what I was going to make it about.
