So, I have been watching a ton of youtube videos on Gmod lately, and I figured something that may be pretty cool. This is just in the early early Alpha phase, and may not even come true, but here it is.
A garrys mod movie, of the events immediatley after the 7 hour war, following a single man.
What I need from you guys is this:
Actors! So far, Skopa, and Chillz and A Fancy Soviet Viking are the only actors (Aside me, which I will do a small bits of acting, mainly directing though.)
Set Designers (None so far, aside from me but, I am not the greatest sceneric artist around >.o )
Someone to Host the server (My computer can't handle a server, It's fast enough to edit and make movies and play Gmod on large servers fine, but I have tried hosting a server before and it nearly crashed my computer.)
^^ That is a VERY important one.
If I do get all the things I need to make the movie, Production won't start until at LEAST around End of May Early June, because then I am getting my Mac computer, so I can do more editing and such on it.
Please, comment your ideas for the story, and if you are interested in acting, I only need about 10-15 Actors so if you are interested, post quick.
Thanks for reading :D

I would do acting for a combine character as I have morphvox pro and I can make my voice sound like a combine. And yes I play hl2rp and I wrote a little shortstory myself on the time around the 7 hour war.
-
Alright, Cool, thanks for your help. Like I said, the Production won't start until late May(ish) But that's only if we can get a server, which so far, no luck. But hopefully soon.
Add me on Steam, scoobybloo2 (Pic of a man with a red bandana over his eyes)

I can do ragdoll posses / cinematic / set design.

Alright, cool, Steam buddy me, I will accept and talk to you tommorow.

I can assist in above, I have some experiance in minor posing and cinematic set design, as well as be an extra. I cannot act since my microphone is still broken, I am getting a new webcam soon that has a microphone built in, in which case I could be an actor as well.
Steam name is Riemer, but you can try steve4723 if that doesn't work.
A movie of this caliber can take a lot of time, a lot of resources, and a lot of headaches. If we even plan to try, we will need a lot of people, a server, and dedication. Dedication is the most important, I have tried something like this before and if you are not completely serious, you will end up with a half-finished failure. The only way I see this happening is if most of the people in CG get in on this.

imma boss with set design and mechanics, as well as acting :D

Good luck with that broseph, you'll need it. And that is not an insult to your capabilities just this will be very difficult to produce.

Indeed it will be, also talk to me on steam scooby, I want to talk to you about some things.

Thanks for all the feedback people, this has definetly given me motivation to work even harder on this project, The first thing is finding a server, which I have a couple leads I am looking into. If anyone is interested in helping, steam buddy me.
-
Might be buying a serverbox, so..... But don't stop looking, as I might not be able to.
-
Thanks Ahli, I hope you will be able to get one, but I will continue to look just incase.
-
I also have morphvox pro and would be willing to act.
Feel free to add me on steam mrpenguin81
-
I'd be happy to help with some acting, maybe an extra though as I can't really do voice acting.
-
I'll join in as actor or something, i wanna help on this quite a lot.
Also regarding server, do you need a specific gamemode for it? Since we have CGs Sandbox which is empty all the time by the looks of it, we could use that one perhaps
-
We could change the map to outlands or a outdoor map if it is about the seven hour war.
-
I am willing to be an actor.
I do have a mic, and a voice changer. My voice changer is called "Voice Changer 6.0 Diamond", If you need me to get that "morphvox pro" then I will. That is, if you want me to be a voice actor.
My steam link is this (http://steamcommunity.com/id/FlyingCow123100) if you want to add me.

You have to much fucking money. xd
And I would like to help with being an actor.
-
I can do voice acting for a lot of creatures.
-
I like the idea of using the CG sandbox as a filming server, simple, easy, and we have admins on board with us so we can do what we need to do. I can't help but think that we may need Rofl's permission to use it, though.
-
I wouldn't mind being a voice actor either, I have a fairly decent mic and a pretty decent voice ;3 and this sounds like a lot of fun!
You should probally do it over quite a few maps, perhaps download just a regular city map to show before the portal storms. Then a more ruined city for at the begining/just before the invasion. Then the rest of the film might take place in a sort of outlands type place or in a city location that looks like the final mission of hl2.
If done well this could be good, and you have a community backing you up :D
-
Wow, I am amazed and delighted with all the feed-back from the community here at CG.
Thanks for all the people wishing to help, but I have a bit of bad news.
I am afraid to announce, doing the 7 hour war, would be nearly impossible, there is a lot of models needed for the aliens in the 7 hour war, that just arent made. Even if we had someone make and animate the models, it would take a long time, then there would be filming, and all the editing and it could take, a very long time.
I know, films arent made in days, but I do not see the value in making a movie over a 5 year period.
All is not lost though! I have been thinking hard for the past few days about this conflict, and I have come to a conclusion.
I have talked to quite a few people willing to help with the 7 hour war, and they all agree this is a good idea. Here it is.
Instea dof a 7 hour war, what about a Post 7 hour war following a man (Name not completely decided upon) he wakes up after the hell that was the 7 hour war took place, he is in the middle of no where (Thinking of using the Outlands map, with permits from Rofl of course) he doesnt remember anything, and throught the course of the film, he slowly gets moments of his memories back, seen in flashbacks. I know this has been done a lot, but with the right ideas and scripts, we could pull it off well. He realizes his life before the 7 hour war was a waste, he had thoughts of suicide, and nearly killed himself once. He never had much to live for, and now he has less. He gets captured by the Combine, and is taken to a city (Maybe C45, with permits, or another city.) That is about all I have so far, and it is all bendable and flexible so feel free to post your comments.
As for using the sandbox, this COULD work very well, if we get some good set builders, and as long as we don't get minge attacks.
If you are still interested, buddy and message me in steam, scoobybloo2.
