General Discussion / Official Planeshift Trailer - Planning Phase - completed
« on: February 16, 2007, 05:29:51 pm »
After some lengthy deliberations we finally got through the preliminary steps to make an official Planeshift videogame trailer. 
So now that it has been done I will start with the production process and I need a lot of volunteers to help out
Here are the open positions for the project. Please mail all applications to aznakh@gmail.com or PM me.
Please do not post applications in this thread.
I usually check my mail daily. As the title says this will be the official trailer for Planeshift and this might go into gaming websites and so on ... so it has to look very professional.
More details will be given to the people once they are involved.
Cameramen / Camerawomen: open 0/4 [COMPLETE]
Needs capturing software and possibility to encode into uncompressed video (quicktime readable format)
Voice actress: open 0/1 [COMPLETE]
Has to be a native english speaker with a good articulation and intonation.
2D Artist open 0/1 [COMPLETE]
Actors / Actresses open4/13
Has to be able to work in team. I will need actors for the following roles: (e.g. it would be good that people have characters of these races)
- 1 Enkidukai [Assigned]
- 1 Hammerwielder (should have some forging skill) [Assigned]
- 1 Lemur
- 1 Kran [Assigned]
- 1 Ynnwn [Assigned]
- 1 Klyros [Assigned]
- 1 Nolthrir / Dermorian [Assigned]
- 1 Ylian [Assigned]
- 5 Figurants 2/5
I want also to thank all the people who will be participating in this in advance and I hope that it will be the best video game trailer ever, because Planeshift doesn't deserve less.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Is the script written ?
Yes, and it has gone through 3 major revisions and several minor ones.
2. Why can't I see the script now ?
The script will be revealed to the cast and crew once the cast and crew have been established. The reasons for this are obvious as we don't want any leaks since the content of the trailer is supposed to stay a secret until it's release .
3. But I cannot sleep at night ... I want to see the script
Get involved then and apply to be a volunteer.
4. What software do I need to be a Cameraman / Camerawoman ?
Anything that allows you to capture and encode in a Quicktime readable format (.mov .mpg .dv and some .avi encodings) with a minimum resolution of 1024x768 and at 24 fps. Those are the only requirements.
5. What is the time schedule for shooting ?
The time schedule will be set up once the recruitment process is over. I will establish a roster that tries to suit everybody.
6. Will the shooting be done on a private server or the official server ?
As it is the official trailer it shall be done on the official server. It is also in order to have all the armor skins and crafts available.
7. With what software will the editing be done ?
Final Cut Pro
8. Why don't you want to use a voice actor in the trailer ?
For the very reason that the atmosphere we want to give in the trailer will be best rendered by a female voice and that a female voice suits best with the script.

for dfryer.
since many people will actually discover the game through there. If nobody has the time to do it I would gladly propose myself to keep it updated. However I would like to get permission first.
