hi to all the citizens of new Eden . Avery film and Sound Studios are currently making a pilot film, which is being shot in new Eden. Which will be submitted to CCP, so approvals for a feature film and miniseries can be obtained. To take this movie and miniseries to the next level, will have to obtain crowd funding. Even if the TV industry does not pick up on the miniseries, it will still be posted on YouTube for all new Eden to watch. Please note it will not just be a game play video, but actors, real sets ,a real film so those of you that want to see this happen. Please lend your support by telling CCP in this forum. as the miniseries and motion picture can’t happen without the approval of CCP. We are also hoping that they will be one of the crowd funder’s. I’m only a small company and will have to get crowd funding for the movie and miniseries to happen. But I have over 30 years experience in the industry, this is my second movie as the director and producer. I have entered many comps and one called SHOOTOUT here in my own town; we had to make a film in just 24 hours.

The larger event scenes will be shot within the test servers so only the invited players can take part. As well as making any chance of lag, less possible. Also, allowing for the shooting costs, to be lowered. As we all know 100 isk is the cost of everything in the test servers. As well as the chance for players to fly ships they can afford to be destroyed and build sets that are far less cost to the purse. This is a zero budget operation. The only funds that I have been able to raise have had to be put into the purchase of a high quality 4K cinema camera. To allow for better resolution for our scenes shot in life. Unfortunately due to the lack of funds, I have had to build sets which had taken many years. I’m currently building one of the cockpits in my own home. As this is my own film. And it would not be the first time that my own house has been turned in to a spaceship. I have put a link to a video on YouTube that was shot for a film competition where we had not only to erect the set but also to shoot the film and edit in a lineal fashion and only 24 hours to make your film. But also to introduce certain scripting words, certain actors, and even certain scenes, as well as other items that were totally foreign to whatever script that you had planned..

Luckily I had already prebuilt the fake walls within the set. Making us, able to assemble, the sets in a shorter period. I even was able to use components from a previous film, which made our set a little bit better. But please note, that this film was shot and edited in camera in a lineal fashion. Yet we did manage to shoot it. Even though it was not the best, but it was an experience, and I still listed it on YouTube. I have also made a feature film called final exit, which is still currently being made i.e. after editing we realized that some extra shots were needed. So it has not been released! The following link is the YouTube video I spoke of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3laYhGD7CN0 I hope you enjoy. However the pilot we are shooting is for 40 minutes of footage, our set is a lot better. Green screening will be involved. We are currently also shooting our opening sequence for all our films.

This will not be like any eve film shot so far. The storyline will be different to how it came about as we will be taking artistic license with that part of the story. As well is in the miniseries definite aliens will be introduced. The alien part of the story will actually also be in the pilot, but only in story line. This is due to cost, but once the film is fully funded. You will get to see the aliens. But they are only mentioned of in the pilot, as part of the story as how we got into new Eden. I’m not going to tell you any more regard to the storyline as we want to keep suspense of what is going to happen.
The pilot is only the start. If you see a ship with film crew you can talk to them only in written chat. But most of the time it will be me and my animators. Sometimes some players may be asked if they want to take part. Even some zero sec to corporations, have already been approached. Some scenes have already been shot, but as I said this is only a pilot. But we are doing our best! So it looks the best so that CCP give their approval, so that a motion picture and miniseries can take place. In regard to the motion picture it will be based around fountain war, but there will be major changes to who the enemy is i.e. secret for the moment. But it will have just as much battle much longer time with many ships dying. So hence the movie will mostly be shot in the test server, so that players taking part can’t be out of pocket in isk. Yet some scenes will be shot in high sec allowing plays to take part as well whether they are new or old .

In eve same as the real world I am underfunded and all the major scenes will have to take place within the test servers. So could you please make sure if your corporations are interested, that all your players are updated in the test servers.

Players taking part as well as each alliance Corporation will receive full credit for their participation in the credits list of the pilots and corps. And will have a chance to take part in the motion picture that is also in the process of scripts being written one of the project planning stages.

Players taking part will also have the choice, of having their real name listed beside their player name. if they so wish. Please note that if they wish their real name used. It will be listed in the extras section of the credits. only speaking roles will gain a actors credit. And yes some speaking roles will be given to players. Players taking part will be requested to sign a legal document. i.e. a release form. as they will be no payment for this pilot film. As I have stated this is the zero budget pilot film, and will be used for a crowd funding video. But they will get bragging rights for sure, as all their names whether being a character name or real name or both. They will have to have this document signed and returned to me prior to taking part. All legal papers will be confidential. Please note you are advised to request a copy of the signed release.
Players wishing just to be in the film. But not be listed in the credits. Can still take part but must follow all instruction. Only your ships will be used as back fill and if you don’t want a credit you don’t have to sign a release as you are just backfill. You must sign a release if you want the film credit. And yes there will be a extras credit list it will be long and fast.
Please also note standard film etiquette will be adhered to during the filming. And players trying to get a unauthorized voice over during film will cause a scene to be cut, and reshot. Continued breaches will cause players to be blocked from voice-over channel. As we may not be a rich film company but film etiquette must be adhered to as we are planning this to be an A grade miniseries and motion picture, even though this is only a pilot all rules will still apply

Shocked

Wow, definitely a large scale project to undertake. I wish you much success and lot's of luck.

Also I could be wrong but I don't think you posted this thread in the right sub-forum. This thread needs much more exposure than what this sub-forum actually gets and in my opinion this thread doesn't really promote an out of game event and gathering. Might wanna check with ISD or CCP for which sub-forum is the best to post this in.

Once again, good luck to you.
