New Community Movie Idea

NearHi · 09-04-2008, 08:46 PM

Blood Volley

It will be a chain movie of sorts, but without a storyline, just a time to have some fun.

The movie will be the many various ways to blow up, smack, hit, launch, punch, rape, etc., a character back and forth, hence the 'volley.'
So, for example, it will start off with, say, Jeremy standing there and a car bomb explodes and he flies off to the right where he meets a boxer who socks him and sends him off left where he meets Gustave and his chain gun who shoots him back over to the left, and so on.

Sound like a good idea, and is anyone up for it?

Trooper · 09-04-2008, 09:07 PM

Could be fun. I can't participate as I'm busy with all sorts but I'd certainly join in if there was a sequel.

As the parts went on, they'd get more and more weird so as to not repeat someone else's idea

NearHi · 09-04-2008, 09:09 PM

Of course.

I was also thinking added a points system and possibly having the scenes judged, maybe in a tournament style or a challenge system, and announce a winner, but I think that would get too complicated for a silly chain movie like this. What do y'all think?

What's with the quote?

Also, I'm not sure points/judging would work too well in a Chain Movie.

I think this could be fun! I don't think I like the judging but the movie sounds fun. MAKE IT HAPPEN GUYS!!! for the fest omg?

Cubert · 09-04-2008, 09:58 PM

I'm going to agree with everyone that yeah, the idea sounds great and I'd love to be involved, just not crazy about the scoring thing.

But yeah, count me in!

NearHi · 09-04-2008, 10:05 PM

Then it would cease to be a chain movie if everyone wants to do a competition/challenge.
I think a challege could be fun. Everyone who agrees to do this movie would be pooled. Then one person would do his/her eplosion then challenge someone from the pool to do better. More points could be given automatically due to custom music/sounds, custom scenes/props, custom actions and the rest of the points are added by the judges and a winner is dubbed who then challenges someone else from the pool and the cycle continues. It would take a long time but I don't know if the community would be up to it or if it would survive or be good for that matter.

So unless you all want to do that, we'll just keep it as a simple chain movie.

Edit: Sorry, late responce. So far it seems like it's jsut a chain movie then.
I'll get it started when I get home.
Should I make a thread in the Movies forum or keep it here?

Sam Hughes · 09-04-2008, 10:47 PM

I like the idea of the chain movie AND the competition but, ah well.
I'm up for this.

Stan Pennant · 09-04-2008, 11:17 PM

Yeah, I think I will jump onboard.

Jaret · 09-04-2008, 11:20 PM

I think more people might do this once the fest has ended considering people are hard at work on their movies, IMO...

NearHi · 09-04-2008, 11:27 PM

Well I really wasn't planning on having it in the film fest (sorry Breed) but maybe, who knows? If we can get enough done brefore the fest and people like it then I will just start a second one. Maybe we can use the judging system on the second if the first is good.

Stan Pennant · 09-04-2008, 11:47 PM

it'll ruin the flow if you have a judge thing between each short... I imagine the whole thing being very smooth and kinetic, like flowing from each short to the next without the pauses... unless you have an idea... like as the guy get's knocked into the next short, he passes a judging pannel who hold up signs with a score out of ten.

NearHi · 09-05-2008, 12:03 AM

hahaha! THAT would be funny! I'll hold off on the judging for the second.

Video Game Guy · 09-05-2008, 12:49 AM

When do you think we can get this thing started?

Massimo · 09-05-2008, 12:55 AM

Awesome idea! For now i can't enter,but i will surely wait the first Blood volley chain movie when it appear's around here.

This is a hella good idea, but I dunno if I'd really refer to it as a "chain" movie cos all the parts would be real short. Anyway I hope it gets made and may even contribute

NearHi · 09-05-2008, 02:39 AM

Goodie!

Aaron Haynes · 09-05-2008, 03:24 AM

It'd be fun to change things up a bit at one point by having one animator volley the character back to the previous animator for another go.

Video Game Guy · 09-05-2008, 03:54 AM

Ok! Who should we volley first?

Rabid Dinosaur · 09-05-2008, 12:28 PM

I think I would do this, too.

NearHi · 09-05-2008, 06:28 PM

Sorry guys, I was fighing all night and didn't wake up until late this morning so I wasn't able to start the movie. I suck, I know. I will desparately try to start it after work today.

Cubert · 09-05-2008, 06:49 PM

Fighting??
