Anybody want to start a series of comedy vids?

That's just what it is. I'd want to go through the storyline adding voices and all kinds of things that happen in-game and just some situational humor. I guess one might compare it to the Red vs Blue series. I'm pretty good at writing, but I work really well in colaboration. For easy accessablility, I'll can open up my guild to all that are in it. Anybody wanna try it?

I'm up for it! Red vs. Blue is awesome lol.

But how would we go about it? Making vids like that seem....huge...and complex lol.

Okay, I have a program called Game Cam. That I got for free right off its site. We could use that. I think it'd be good for all of us to record so we can get different angles and such.

good idea, but execution of the idea will be tough. If this is half as funny as RvB, ill be proud of you guys. good luck!!

ooo me pick me i wanan do a comedy gw vid should be awsum

drago

Love to do a comedy vid of GW so i am in for it.
But i wonder how you want to pull this off but thats up to you.
Sign me up

Well, first, before ANYTHING else, you must create a plotline. RvB has a GREAT plotline, filled with comedy the whole way. I will be willing to help if you need it, (I cant film tho, my comp is shyt) just send a PM or IM my way.

OK, every step of the way i will be comparing this to RvB, because thats the only thing out there like it. IN the beginning, RvB started out as a parody to halo, the war of the reds and the blues, and Griff neede to be a red to even out the sides. Griff, along with Sarge and Simmons are out in the middle of nowhere in a canyon, and the only reason they are there is to keep the Blues from taking over the pointless canyon. From that it evolved into a work of comic genius we now know and love.

So to take a page from their book, start out as just a parody, making fun of the guild wars storyline(like how we all left ascalon to die to all the charr we could so easily kill after ascention) and let it evolve from there.

Then you will need well developed characters, some sort of conflict, and lots of comedy throughout. Again, RvB gives us a shining example. on the Reds, you have Griff the lazy bum who was drafted to even the numbers. Sarge is the hardass always riding Griff's back, sending him on suicide missions and soforth. Simmons is the kissass who no one likes but Sarge. Doughnut is the metrosexual (homosexual maybe?) who is kinda slow, with lots of girlike qualities. For the Blues, you have Church, the independent leader who has a fairly short temper. Tucker, the horny bastard who can only think about girls. Caboose, the COOLEST CHARACTER EVER (imho) the dumbass who wants to be friends with everyone, but cant even manage to be friends with his teammates. They write the BEST lines for Caboose. "That was you?!? I thought the tooth fairy was mad at me..." "Time LINE? Time is not made of lines, it is made of circles, that is why clocks are round." and "Kittens... kittens covered in spikes... that makes me angry!" and many more.
Then you have Tex, the tough mercinary chic who could kick all of the guys asses. then Doc, the pacifist who enrolled in the army as a conciencious objector. then O'malley, the overly evil parasitic program that likes to say oblivion and contradict himself while hes talking. "Prepare for oblivion for which there is no preparation!!"

Also, you should make full use of the emotes, they will come in handy.

thats just my 2 cents.

seriously though, i put my IM on my side bar, so send me an IM.

Okay, let's get this started then, who's got characters in the presearing? Who can film? And who has something like ventrillo and a server we can use? Also, we might want a site later on. This will take time and gold (I'm sure we'll need to get a few things here and there, probably just for your own character) We also need to make meeting times when we get ready to shoot.

Tell me a decent video cap other than FRAPS and I can help. I've much experience making movies like this, yet none for GW as of yet... I may be able to offer assistance...

ok , im a professional video editor , i would be glad to edit them.
ill keep reading this thread , and will bring ideas to it.

/im in

Great, Game Cam is free and it's decent. (It slows down my comp a bit, crappy lag) We should be starting on the script soon. I'm talking to Twilight and I've already got some ideas. Anyway, just from you guys, what do you think the main character should be? I'm thinking something like an Elementalist, but I'm totally open for suggestions.

EDIT: Oh, and feel free to film the opening sequence. I think we'll redubb (is that the correct spelling?) all of the cutscenes when we run into them. That ought to be fun.

i have video out grafics card and a DV camara , so ill play in tv screen to use a single video out , and record to the DV cam , like this the computer will be free just for the game , after i will inport the fotage from dv cam to computer and work on that.

so i wont be needing video cam , anyway , for other people fotage , can send me in anyformat

Okay, so all footage will be sent to you? Good. Can you give me some example of the extent of your capabilities editing so I know what I can do when I'm writing.

i hav no idea wat any of you guys are talking bout... sounds cool tho

i would love to be a part of this movie, i can get the gamecam prolly, ill check when i get outa school

i would love to make a warrior or a ranger for the movie, if need be i can be the monk

i've experimented with a LOT of emotes and i fully know how to use em,

my ign is desert bandit bojka, ill pm u with my msn messenger/email if you need it

I'd love to help you guys out, though I doubt my laptop is up to recording much of anything. Still though, let me know if I can help with anything.

This would be totally awesome I would love to be a part of it. PM me to tell me what i can do to help. I have 3 chars and a free slot to make any type of char that will fit your plot Have a not too bad comp so can do some recording as well.

run ventrilo in the backround while guildwars is in full mode, i suggest ventrilo because...

1. Does not have most of the TS problems
2. Overall better quality

like i said in my pm to tur713, i have a vent server available for this if he decides to let me be a part of this
