Answer in the poll above.

Oh, when it's done, should I talk to xorlak about having it released WITH Dark Age 2? (may slow down release if he agrees...)

Yeah, well, would you release it with DA2 when it's done?

Dunno what the hell happened when I was away. Sorry, this is DA2. A movie, hell cool. Just make sure you have a good script, maybe ask Xorlak to write one for you. I can see it now, "And the winner for best backyard picture is... Dark Age 2". It may happen, ya never know.

Heh. I can write it on my own. The only problem is getting the costumes...silver, blue, and black armour isn't exactly cheap.

You may also need to buy swords aswell, oh and get a SPFX program for the comp, so you can make the magic effects.

Well, I'd have to see it first...

At the very least, I'd put a link to it in the fan art section.

I'm already working on that. I'm at school now, otherwise I'd login.

Well don't rob any where to get the stuff. LOL. I just today got a program that edits movies. Not SPFX but sound effects and music and stuff.

DAMN! My friend is too busy with another project!

And I don't exactly have $500 to spend on a digital camcorder.

lol. Oh well, maybe when you are older, you can make DA2. It would have a $10,000,000 budget. Well, if anyone would finance you that is.

It would be nearly impossible to make a movie based off DA2 if the game is going to have 40+ game hours. If anything, I'd have to split it up into 3 movies.

As for the Dark Age movie, I think I might have found a CHEAP source for armor and weapons (gotta love the tech-ed room at River Hill High), and the Camera shouldn't be TOO much trouble.

*prays that the school's camera crew lets me borrow a camera*

lol. Well it might be an idea to wait until you are older, and making it into three movies? Na, just cut out all the battles and well, all the cool bits and then you won't have a game at all. That is because it is all cool. I dunno what you will have to do.

Well, I'll make both movies as soon as I get my OWN digital camcorder.

Might take a few years to get one, though...'cause nobody will (Editor: Censored)ing hire me in Maryland!

lol!!

It's cause your too young!!
In this economy, people aren't going to just go hire every... what are ya, 15 or so?... person who applies. Even though it sounds really stupid, even fast food chains are looking for "experienced" employees.

I've always really wondered how, you could become experienced in fast food... but I suppose it's somehow possible.

I noticed...but when I turn 16, I'm going straight over to GameStop in the Columbia Mall, and I will apply, as I will be old enough to work there. Also, since I am quite knowledgeable about whether or not a game is any good, they would probably be more than willing to hire me!

Very Happy,
don't be surprised when they don't. Gamestop is one of the pickiest places to apply at... they rank up there with Blockbuster and Best Buy and QT.... and umm.. well a lot of local places around here. Smile

And to be completely honest, they really don't care whether or not you know a lot about individual video games... they care more about whether or not you know about video games in general. Plus you have to be willing to deal with annoying people (trust me.... a year with the IT dept. at school can teach you that *shudders at thought of going back to that on monday*), and with your temper... I believe your not much of a people person.

They all know me there, and yes, I know a lot about video games in general. I know the main history, the different genres, the best and worst companies, and I can usually tell whether or not a game is any good just by looking at the packaging.

And in GameStop, I find it quite easy to keep my temper in check, especially 'cause a lot of Asian girls go in there on Saturdays in the Columbia Mall.

If you don't know how to edit it down then think you're a movie director editing down Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Every page in that book would make a well over 80+ hour movie. Think of it that way, except your eding down DA2

You have a point there. Mind you, I don't know how they will even be able to make the goblet of fire into a three hour movie.

Alright, I think I may have a camera soon...still getting cast members, though.

Swords and Armour is almost completely planned out. Environments are still being planned.
