So, what are you doing exactly? You lost me. Looks like you scrapped my suggestion and took a few parts from it, and threw some other shit in.

What's the whole, "the man" thing that you're avoiding?

Perhaps instead of capturing this Nerfing prodigy, you might want to have each side try to tempt or persuade him to join each repsected team...in any other case it would be like you're treating the prodigy as an object, not a human.

okay...to lay it out for you. i am using your idea with two modifications. one, there is a super person, not gun. two, one of the warring factions does not wear suits. by 'the man', i was referring to 'the government'. and what i was avoiding was a "nerf clan vs. the government's nerfers", because it just seems kind of lame. i agree with your idea on the prodigy. i wish i could upload the part of my brain concerning this movie onto the forums, i am not doing the greatest job explaining what i want to happen.

on that note: julie, only right now are things going to be so blatanly black and white. i am striving in the movie to make no 'good' or 'evil'. after reading your thoughts, i've decided to change how the prodigy thing happens. if you've read any of dune or ender's game, you might understand what i am trying to get at better: the prodigy is just a kid who recently got into nerf. he's been following the clans around from a distance, figuring out how things work. he allows himself to be captured by "the bad guys", because he knows that the "the good guys" will come looking for him. when he is rescued by "the good guys", he works in their favor to defeat the enemy (which doesn't necessarily mean wasting them all). all the while, this prodigy has plans of his own (which we won't see until i make a second movie).

[taita cakes]

or the goodies kill all the baddies so only the cell is left (and of course they open it with batmans lock explosion) and they unchain him and walk away and he frags them all anyway...

i still prefer government nerfs vs. hoodlum/gang nerfs

i am about to kill you, wtrent10.

vacc: well, as for real life: people are going to be their regular selves, no suave name-editing except for maybe a 'captain ray' here or a 'commander spoon' there. if i bring nerfhaven into the context of the movie at all, i don't think it will be as one of the teams. i mean, what would the other team be? NerfHQ? HA! yeah right, the NHQ team would be a bunch of eight year olds with 18-gun-integrations shooting themselves in the foot. i think Nerfhaven may just stay out of the whole thing, or at least never be specifically referred to.

hey, raway, you can hate nerfhq, but you don't have to be a jackass about it.

No actually see there was this new law passed in his county. He DOES, in fact, have to be a jackass about it. If you're upset by this, I recommend that you contact you're local city councilman.

Ray, if the movie ends up long, Cafepress can distribute it for base price $4.99 per CD with no hassle. My guess is NH can host a trailer for you, but that's up to the admins.

yeah, i wouldn't ask NH to host anything longer than 5 minutes, and even that's going to slow things down quite a bit. i'm still really trying to see how much i want to put into the movie. whether it should just be 5 minutes of solely nerfing, or whether it should actually have a plot. i've got plenty of ideas, but i am realizing that 1) i really have one day max where i could get together a good number of socal nerfers to film. 2) plot means lines, and if there are too many lines, that will lead to a lot of mess-ups, which will take up a lot of time. 3) using the plot that i have, i am going to need to access to some sort of building that could be considered a base to film. although, i would need something like that without a plot anyways.

i am going to write an official script this weekend. if you guys have access to any buildings that would be good to film in, tell me about it. i think i've got about three people with cameras that would be willing to help, so that's covered, unless spoon has access to some sort of super equipment that he would be willing to use on a project like this. once i write the script, i'll post it for editing and such. then i'll start contacting people to see who will play what. then we'll figure out a date. also, if you guys have any good ideas for fight choreography(sp), either post them or send them. but if it has to do with two people shooting each other, at point blank, in the face, with two lock n loads; don't bother posting, it's already been tried.

when it's all done and edited, (and if the movie is long enough) i'll decide whether i want to do some sort of cafepress selling thing. it's probably easier than trying to distribute the movie through paypal payments. that's a while away though.

[VACC]

You should shoot this thing the same week as Armageddon. That way if by some miracle of male prostitution I end up getting the cash to fly out, I can dis-grace the screen personally....I do my own make up.....and Spoon's hair...

[Batman]

So, hows the script?

[GunnedDown]

I think you should get VACC to play some sort of evil, pig-shoplifting, leprechaun.

I mean, just look:



Is that not proof enough??

[taita cakes]

WELL I WAS BORED SO HERE ARE SOME SCRIPT IDEAS + FIGHT SEQUENCES...
MY HEAD WAS SO FULL OF IDEAS I GOT NO SLEEP LAST NITE SO ITS ALL UR FAULT...




IMPORTANT: NIGHT SETTING W/ EMPTY STREETS

TWO MEN IN SUITS WALKING DOWN APARTMENT HALLWAY **FOOT CAM,FEET IN PERFECT UNISON**THEY PULL UP TO A DOOR MARKED 147a AND CHECK A PIECE OF PAPER..."THIS IS IT!" *KNOCK KNOCK* DOOR OPENS
"GARY PAUL NEWMAN?" "YEAH? WASSUP?" *SCREEN = BLACK* THUMPING NOISE AND SOUND OF BODY FALLING TO GROUND...

UNCONCIOUS PRODIGY DRAGGED OUT ON STREET TO A VAN WITH ITS DOORS OPEN. TWO GUYS (SURVEILLENCE) SIT IN ANOTHER CAR WATCHING ON UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. THE VAN TAKES OFF AND THE SURVEILLENCE FOLLOW AT A DISTANCE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS, THE PASSENGER OF SURVEILLENCE PULLS OUT A PHONE... "YO ANDY....SOMETHINGS GOIN' DOWN.... RALLY THE TROOPS.... THEY'VE GOT GARY!" VAN SLOWS AND THEN STOPS OUTSIDE BUILDING... SURVEILLENCE PULLS INTO AN ALLEYWAY...

THE PASSENGER IN THE VAN GOES UP TO THE DOOR AND TAPS THREE TIMES AND TWO SECURITY GUARDS POP THEIR HEADS UP FROM A DESK, AND ONE GETS UP AND OPENS THE DOOR. THE PASSENGER GOES BACK TO THE CAR AND ALONG WITH THE DRIVER THEY TAKE THE STILL UNCONCIOUS PRODIGY INSIDE AND INTO THE LIFT. THE GUARD SAYS TO THE OTHER HE'S GOING FOR A CIGARETTE. GUYS WHO BROUGHT UP PRODIGY TURN TO SECURITY AND SAY "CODE BLUE... WE WERE FOLLOWED... WARN SECURITY... ARM THE MEN!"

**SHOT OF SECURITY GUY LAYING ON PAVEMENT IN FOREGROUND WITH CIGARETTE OUT OF MOUTH DEAD STARING EYES WITH A SUCTION MICRO STUCK TO HIS HEAD.. BACKGROUND ONE SURVEILLENCE GUY OPENING DOOR**

REMAINING SECURITY GUY HEARS DOOR OPEN... STILL READING PAPER SHOUTS... "LARRY?".... HE WAITS FOR REPLY AND DOESNT GET ONE... HE FOLDS UP PAPER AND BEGINS TO STAND... LOOKING OVER DESK HE CANT SEE ANYONE SITTING BACK DOWN HE FINDS THE GUY WITH A PISTOL POINTING AT HIS HEAD... *MIXED SOUND OF TIRES SREECHING AND GUN FIRED* BUDGET RENT-A-TRUCK(S) PULL UP (TIRE SOUND) AND FROM THE BACK OF IT/THEM ROUGHLY 30 NERFSTERS (NERF GANGSTERS) HOP OUT... WHILE SECURITY GUYS ARE DRAGGING BODIES UNDER DESK ON THE RADIOS THEY HERE "CODE BLUE.. BE ALERT.. PREDICTED SKIRMISH... FRONT DESK DO YOU COPY?.......FRONT DESK DO YOU COPY?.........HELLO?"

**NEW SHOT OF 3 BADLY ARMED GUYS HEADING DOWN LIFT WITH BALLZOOKAS OR SOMETHING LAME**
**LOBBY SHOT OF GUYS (MOST WITH RF20'S) IN FRONT OF LIFT WAITING FOR IT AND WATCHING THE FLOORS SLOWLY COUNTDOWN**
LIFT------LOBBY------LIFT----LOBBY----LIFT---LOBBY---LIFT--LOBBY--LIFT-LOBBY-LIFT ***DING***

**CAMERA ANGLE LOOKING ACROSS LIFT WITH OPENING ON LEFT BACK ON RIGHT**
THE LIFT GUYS GET NAILED BY ALL THE RF20'S AND FROM THIS ANGLE YOU SEE ROUGHLY 100 DARTS FLY IN

FROM THEN ON THIS IS ANYONES MOVIE YOU MAY NOT USE THIS INTRO BUT I LIKE IT...

YOU WANTED FIGHT SCENE IDEAS SO HERES A COUPLE:

1) GUYS ROUND A 'T' CORNER AND FIRST THREE ARE TAKEN OUT BY HEAVY MACHINE GUN FIRE AS SOON AS THEY PAST IT... THE SQUAD LEADER LOOKS INTO THE DEAD WIDE STARING EYES OF ONE NERFSTER AND PULLS OUT A CLUSTER BOMB AND SLIDES IT ALONG THE GROUND ON THE FLOOR.. HE THEN STEPS BACK AND LEAPS OUT INTO THE OPEN AND SLIDING ALONG THE GROUND HE NAILS ONE GUY AND THE ONE ON THE MACHINE GUN IS TAKEN OUT BY THE CLUSTER

2)IF I HAVEN'T POSTED MY IDEA FOR THE NERF RPG (ROCKET PROPELLED GRENADE NOT ROLE PLAYING GAME) BY NOW.. ILL DDESCRIBE IT... ITS A NERF CLUSTER BOMB THAT WORKS ON IMPACT BUT IS PROPELLED BY HYDRO ROCKETS.....!!!NASTY!!!
AT ONE STAGE THE LEADER (WHO SPLITS UP AND IS ONLY ONE IN AREA) IS AT ANOTHER 'T' INTERSECTION AND FORWARD THERE ARE THREE GUYS HE SEES THEM FIRES BUT HAS NO STEFANS.. HE TURNS UP THE OTHER BIT OF THE 'T' BRANCH (CHASED BY THE OTHER GUYS) AND A GUY WITH AN RPG FIRES IT...
STOP
STOP
STOP
THESE RPG'S WHEN LAUNCHED ARE AIMED/DIRECTED BY RUNNING SOME TUBING OT ALTERNATIVELY STRONG STRAW THATS DUCTAPED TO IT ALOND A BIT OF METAL POINTING SKY WARDS... THAT MEANS FOR STUNTS ONE OF THESE RPG'S COULD BE FIRED RUNNING ALONG FISHING LINE...
CONTINUE
CONTINUE
CONTINUE
HE SLIDES ON HIS KNEES AND RPG SLIDES INCHES FROM HIM AND TAKES OUT THE GUYS BEHIND HIM WITH HIS BACK ON THE GROUND AND FEET IN THE AIR... HE FIRES A SECRET SHOT 2 BETWEEN HIS LEGS AND TAKES OUT THE GUY WHO FIRED THE RPG

3) ****FINALE SCENE****
BIG!! ROOM -- INDUSTRIAL SCENE MULTILEVELED-- PRODIGY HAD BEFORE SAID (WHILE TRYING TO BE CONVINCED TO JOIN THERE SIDE/BRAINWASHED) "I DONT TAKE SIDES"
ORIGINAL ONE OF THE GUYS WHO PICKED UP PRODIGY HAS GUN POINTING AT PRODIGYS HEAD (WHO HAS ARNS TIED BEHIND CHAIR AND BLIND FOLDED) AND SAYS "COME OUT OR ILL KILL HIM" AND CLOSE UP OF loser ON HIGHER LEVEL AIMING AT HIS HEAD...
MORE TALKING AND MORE AIMING....
FINALLY HE KISSES A CROSS NECKLESS AND FIRES... THE PRODIGY WITH HIS QUICK REFLEXES STANDS UP SLIGHLY AND SLAMS CHAIR DOWN... WOODEN LEGS SHATTER AND HE FALLS TO THE GROUND SO HE'S SITTING ON BARE CONCRETE THE GUY WHO HAD HIM HOSTAGE FIRE AND IN 'SLOMO' MISSES THE PRODIGY DROPPING TO THE GROUND BY MILIMETERS...

***CAMERA ANGLE - PEARL HARBOUR STYLE BOMB SPINNING DROPPING ON SHIP BUT NERF DART SAILING THRU THE AIR AT GUY***

ONCE HE MISSED THE PRODIGY THE GUY SPINS AROUND TO SEE WHERE THE loser FIRED FROM AND PEARL HARBOUR SPINNING STEFAN HITS HIM IN THE CHEST AND HE DIES IN AN INCREDIBLE FLIP/SPIN/FALL BACKWARDS WATEVA.... (FOR THOSE WHO MODEL HALF-LIFE, UNDER MOVEMENTS, die_spin)
WHEN HE HAS BEEN UNTIED ETC. AND THEY ARE WALKING AWAY THE PRODIGY SLOWS DOWN AND THE GUY GOES OUT IN FRONT... U HERE THE PRIMING OF A NERF GUN AND "I KEEP TELLING U GUYS... I DONT TAKE SIDES!" **POP** GUY FALLS DOWN DEAD WITH STEFAN IN BACK

[Batman]

[taita cakes]

sorry about the caps...
so wat do you think about the rpgs it would be a great special effect... normal clusters would be great... another special effect... it would add a sense of true action not some lame ass cheap nerf movie....see people use clusters a lot so stay true to teh warfare and features clusters and rpgs in the movie

if u could use as much of the script as u could it would be great and if u could plz ship out a vcd copy of it it would be better... u should charge a fee to download it and use the profits for a sequel...

[Switchblade]

Taita Cakes, I gotta admit, that's a pretty nice intro. Keep thinking! Ray, you too. It doesn't matter if it takes a while, if it's quality. In my eyes, this'll either suck or rock. Let's go for the second one. And wtrent, shut up.

[wtrent10]

will do (oops...)

[taita cakes]

if u want me to i could come up with more but hey can i really be bothered..
it would be a real plus if nerfhaven could host the movie and charge a minimal fee per download... to bad im in oz i woulda loved to have helped on this

[cxwq]

I'm sure I could work something out on the content delivery end.

[rawray7]

movie update: well...nothing new really. it's been about 2 weeks since i said i'd write that script, and truthfully i am nowhere near finishing it. real life has been sort of kicking me in the ass lately, so be patient with me. i get out of school the first week of June, and i will definately have something planned out for the summer filming session. sorry to get you guys hyped and then not deliver.

[taita cakes]

well if u were organised u'd wanto start working on the script a small bit every evening and really haul ass on weekends so u can filme when every ones free on the holidays, otherwise its gonne get really difficult...

i no this will take ages and i hope every one else does and if u could hand out sections with rough guidelines u could get some people with some good skills to write out a section for u and mail it to u

[taita cakes]

im mainly just trying to keep this topic going but newaz i got another idea for the movie...

i couldn't be btohered writing it out in that much detail like last time but they all leave the lift two guys fall back and secure lift area.... come to t-intersection one sign points security... one points offices.... they take security first.... the two guys out front see about 15 guys heavily armed coming at them and run inside... shots of inside of about the entire security team gearing up from gun racks.... couple of guys secure hallway t-intersection... major battle ensues blah blah blah hows the script??? script died yet??? over it yet??? found something more interesting like cs and battlefield??? dont blame you!!!

and dont blame me for circulating old topics but i want action on this movie and its a bit hard for a skip to go over to the usa and get ur yank asses into action so IM KEEPING THIS GOING FOR A REASON

... check your six
