Shall we come together to make a fan film?

[Kryptos]

Hi everyone!

For a good amount of time, I was thinking about the possibility of making a Star Wars GMod fan film. I was just curious if you guys were interested in helping me make it? If you are interested in the possibility please take a look at what I have planned. I wont explain much as of right now in regards to what this fan film would entail but I will go over a brief summary as to what we would be doing and what I would like to achieve, etc. 
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Details on production:

To start we would be filming this on GMod but not on the synergy server (most likely). We would be using a lot of different mods, mods that aren't on the main server. This would include maps, props, models, weapons, effects, etc. 

The story I have in mind at the moment is a wonderful story filled with a lot of character arcs, ups and down, character deep dives and development, etc. The story I have for this fan film works as a good stand alone film, however, if people thoroughly enjoy the fan film I have plans as to where the story can go for a sequel and if desired, a trilogy. 

The fan film I have in mind would take place during the Clone Wars. If we got together as a community to make it I feel like this era of Star Wars would be the best one to tackle since we are all familiar with it.

If we come together to make this we would need a good amount of actors along with some crew members to help me with camera operating, set design, lighting, effects, etc.

I would be looking for actors that can do a range of characters. While having similar voices to existing Star Wars characters could help, I would prefer to find actors who can embody or portray emotion with their voices and find people who have a mindset and a passion for acting.

Lastly, I know this is a stretch for GMod film making but if people involved have Virtual Reality + Full body equipment I would like to incorporate the GMod VRMod into the production process. Its a stretch and if people don't have the equipment that is perfectly fine and we can run production without it. But if someone does I would like to take advantage of the VRMod and bring characters to life with real life like movements. I want to push the limits of GMod film making with this project to make something truly wonderful and if VR is on the table I wouldn't want to hesitate to use it. Again one more time, if VR isn't an option that is perfectly fine.

Please let me know your thoughts on my idea and if you are interested in helping to make a Star Wars fan film to come to life. I love film making with all of my heart and I would love to tell a story that is emotional, heartfelt, and something that has a lot of heart and soul put into it. Along with that I would love to make something that feels like a love letter to Star Wars and Lucasfilm as a whole because without their stories we wouldn't be where we are today.

Thank you all for listening to my idea, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to either leave a comment or DM me on either the website or in discord if you have it. I would love to get as much feedback as possible by as many people as possible.

Goodluck with this, I managed to make a shortfilm on the server itself, but it's all about camerawork and audio IMO

If you wanna go balls to wall with gmod animating you got more patience than me

If you want a Red Vs Blue kinda style of gameplay-acting, then I fully believe in you, and it's actually really fun!

You have no idea what I have planned when it comes to camerawork and audio ;)

 @Mavelle @Bacta @Shockpoint jake  @Spieler and I have worked on a video series to accompany some of our story line based events could be compiled to a short film if we ever wanted to.

But like Heart said it's in a RVB gameplay style

Hey everyone!

Thank you a ton for your feedback and support! I want to let you all know that I began work on the script/screenplay sometime ago for Codenamed: Airfoil (the fan film's current production name). It should HOPEFULLY be done by the beginning of Summer Break (Late may-Early June) but no promises. After it's done I will be calling for auditions and all that fun stuff and then once we are done with that we will begin shooting. If you guy's have any questions please let me know. All I will say right now is that I am very committed to push gmod to its limits with filmmaking and I want to make something that is of quality and enjoyability. I'll let you all know about progress as it comes along.

Hello everyone (or the 5 people who may see this), I am writing this to let you all know that I am going to put Project Airfoil on a hold/delay. I have been putting a lot of thought into what type of story I would like to tell and while the story I had in mind was intriguing it had one glaring flaw. The screenplay was extremely similar to A New Hope. I would like to take some more time to figure out a story that is original but also follows a lot of the themes I want to explore with the fan film. My main goal with this project is to make something that is satisfying to the audience and is of the best quality I can produce and in order to do that I need more time. Thank you all for your understanding and I am sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused to anyone who was looking forward to this project.
