ok gentlemen (and ladies)...
a few months ago I was poking around on the internet and found these flash cartoons... they were called the madness cartoons. Anyways at the end credits there was an email address for the guy who made the music. I emailed him asking if he wouldnt mind donating some of his music to some some videos I would like to make.
He sent me a song he did... I like it.. I wrote a script based on the points in the song.
here is the link to the song.

to conserve bandwidth please only download it once and don't share this link. Thank you.
listen to it while you read the script. I put in time stamps at important events so you get an idea.
I need a bunch of actors but most importantly a female actor. and a lot of ideas. I don't mind tweaking and changing the script... so I'm open to changing some things about it. What do you guys think?
fade from black to scene of church
Music vid credits bottom left hand :
the begining dingy-bell things... UNTIL :14
View of night sky and moon... above the curch ,...
at the first boom in the music white flash bang to
view of male character looking stoic... camera
panning around him zoom out
fade to view of the city...
:31 at next boom flash bang to angels running in V
formation... angeled ariel view
change to lead view cammera running in front of them.
:49 all hyper jump onto a builing
land and look up and see a bunch of enemies in dark
and wierd clothes. dramatic pans around them
They start talking shit
music gets aggressive...
1:06 main character looking stoic camera pans up
close in on face..... evil looking eyes.
confrontation... words exchange between each group
scene flashes between each group yelling and poitning
fingers
main character cracks neck. tells them to back off
1:56 a female angel gets sucker shot and killed by
them...
2:13 main character /screams@!%$@!! Other group runs
2:17 huge fight! avenge the death!
battle ensues dramatic anime camera angels on blows
exchanged between groups with each boom in music a
shotgun is fired
3:07 killing shot. The person who killed the female
angel gets killed by main character with a shotgun in
slow mo.
stomps on his dead body
3:25 main character starts running back to her dead
body
runs back to her...

-
I am game, just tell me when you need me.
-
*raises hand waving it* Ohh Oooh I'm a low lvl female!!! I can easily be killed in a cheep shot I'm only lvl 16!!
-
Likwid this looks really good, I'd really like to help out...I like the song too great visions on it. With the UI now actually able to be toggled this will look really good
-
I am all over it like white on rice man. Just gimme the when and where! :)
-
me me I wanna be in the movie!
-
/Signed this will be on my Directing resume for a part in a ingame movie. I think after the character runs to the body he stands over her and you get a top slow mo shot of him screaming then he kneels down and then there is a miraculous rez.
-
why not? count me in also.
-
oooo i wanna play
what? downstage right? wtf are you talking about? what's a scrim?
i quit
jk
-
This would definently give me reason to hop back in game. So i'm down :)
-
PLEASE dont forget me....send me an email or pm a day or two before if you could. Im really interested....Great idea
-
This sounds like a really awesome idea, Likwid...if you can pull it off I will be impressed.
The only suggestion I have is try not to be so locked down to the timings with the music. Sure, there are some times where you can plan it all out and it will work, but in the interest of pace and keeping the shots from getting too long and stale, you might have to sacrifice a bit of synchronization to make it tight and give it speed (so the watcher doesn't think it's too dragged out).
Just a few words of advice, since I've learned that the hard way myself a few times.
Like i said, other than that, it's a great idea, the music is perfect and everything. I would offer to help out, but I can't jack in, you know...
-
I would like to be the main character. Because, well...I was the one who wanted to make a new FA music video anyway. And besides, I'm better looking than GrimKitten and Altab put together :P
Just kidding, Ladies. But, still, I'd like to be a part of it.
"Vires of Vehemens Angelus"
-
After the thing I did in L.A. I am even more interested in making ingame movies/videos than ever!
If ya need my help, count me in (although my game has been running funny lately).
-
Tell me when and where!
Suggestion: At the end the rezing needs to be dramatic to flow from the crying scene. Maybe all the angels gather around her and 3 rez her at the same time for more effect?
-
Yea like some should shake heads and some should kneel which is kind of a griefing emote. I like Kosilas point on getting more people to rez as a group effort and effect.
-
I'm game...
-
oooo ooo pick me pic me.... im down :D
-
I missed the last video, so I would like to get my face on the next one :)
and btw, those Madness flashes ROCK
-
I'm there too, if i'm around the time it's done. :)
But don't count me in for the singing! I'll go for the babes and teh booze! :2d
-
Holy crap... I had no idea I would get so many people interested. Sweet deal. I'm taking note of everyone's suggestions and I like them all.
I'm waiting for my new vid card to get here in the mail and as soon as it does we'll start filming some basic stuff. Also control - U actually toggles the UI now! YAY!@%$#@!!!!
Aight. As for the timing... I dunno I really have a few spots I want very very very much so to be specific times in the story.
But like Ratio and I were discussing we can do sound cuts and what not and regain when we need to...
for instance... the female angel will prolly be killed in silence... or something... things like that... I'll start putting more detail into the script tomorrow. Thanks again and keep the ideas coming.

ME ME ME>>>>>>>
-
It might be hard to do, but would you consider having the matrix scrolling code in the begining? Although i could understand wanting to try something new as the code has been used alot.
-
I'm game!
Stage left? is that my left? your left? the audience's left? how will i remember that!
move behind the second teaser? what the hell is a teaser!?!? hehe.
j/k
It sounds like it'll be a fun time for all :)
-
Sign me up.
-
Count me in, I'd love to.
-
I'm definitely wanting in on some video action. I can show off my pizazz.
-
Give me the word and I'll be there if I'm not working at the time. Great ideas Orien but you know you gotta get the rain falling as you do the over the top crane up scream shot. Yeah, if you need any help cinematically-wise I can help you out if no else can.
-
Yeah Xtreem is studying to do cinematic mumbo jumbo... i don't know anything about Cinematics except for explosions..... so yeah Xtreem would be the one to ask for help and stuff....yeah... it's kinda early over here so i don't have an idea of what i'm talking about yet... give me an hour or two and you might see an edit :P
-
We should give it that anime feel such as wide pan shots and cut angles. Watch an episode of any anime for details on how cool the camera work is done.
-
My fav aspect of anime (cinematic-wise) is how they incorporate the beauty of setting. There are many wide shots and wide pans of characters and then a tight close up and such. Most people would remeber that style from Sergio Leone movies and maybe it is a nod to him, I dont know, but I would love to see a few of those. Orien, I'm sure you're badass at this cinematic stuff too so we can definitely help. The one thing I will say is that I hope this video is made very stylized and cool. I know the last video was kinda rushed and look how good that turned out. If we take our time with this one, we'll kick the crap outta the other video.
-
Agreed Xtreem we need to push the limits that the camera in this game can do. Slow and steady wins the race.
-
w00t! count me in :D
-
Yeah... I wanna do a lot of dramatic anime type camera angles... The Matrix Movies did a lot of these too..
I'm still waiting on my video card to get here ... so This is on hold till it arrives.
I like all of your ideas so far.
-
yea i definitely am down with a music video... i love making videos... count me in!!
-
Sounds good man! I'm in... let me know when you are going to start!
-
Hey Tek, yea, I'd love to help you out on this. It'll be something else to blame my low level on. I have a good bit of real life directing and editing experience as well if you're still looking of reven MORE creative input. I'll understand if you just need an actor though (something I've also done in real life :-D). Anyways, just keep me in the know... damn this means I need to figure out why TS doesn't work for me.
-
hmmmm bump?
-
Hmm very intresting yes very intresting Indeed
BUMPY
-
So what ever happened to this project? Did it die or something?
-
If it's not dead, I'm down. Sounds like fun.
-
Likwids video card must be taking a few trips around the world :P
