hi, i'm françois, i'm a 42 year old frog, i passionately write and produce fiction projects for multiple distribution platform templates.. my professed goal posting on mapster is twofold:
- to produce a movie map (starheroes duel (alpha wip) is live on bnet)
- to produce a movie (i am working on the script)
I am not pretentious enough to think I can deliver a rich enough product on my own (on either map or movie)
but I certainly just might be a bit the cookiest cat you will ever meet, nuts enough to try something that has
never
been done before!
Without further ad do: what the f ck you said "movie contest" ?
YES! i want more Mapster movies! Yes i want to get some help to produce awesome scenes <3
So, fully invested, i humbly propose a "scene contest".. <3<3<3
Each month a scene (or several small ones) is voted on in a thread as
the scene of the month
(within a multiple choice / from a live movie script) by future participants.
The contest consist of making a map that plays out the action of the scene (with camera cuts / detailed terrain/characters .. everything up to the voice acting (which is not required)) .. this with triggers and/or played out by users.
Object is to have a hd quality playable scene (made by one or 15 people)
that will be then enriched with real life footage compositing! and become..
a movie scene
(i'll be adding practical footage, dialogs, etc)
...
Then we vote live on stream for which was the best scene done that month (after watching them all on a friday nite saturday morning!)
i get the maps to use for my sc2mapster movie
and
winner gets at least* 50 €/month
ps:
Example of a scene:
the cowboy shootout scene: a stranger arrives in a sand ghost town cantina bar, he intimidates the local patrons for information, soldiers arrive and the stranger blows them out the windows <3
I dont really know about this, but Im a filmmaker myself aswell and have created several Starcraft movies aswell, some in cooperation with SC2mapsters, too, including a full-length SC2 machinima movie. Check em out if you like.
Here´s the full-length SC2 movie I made:
And heres another short SC2 film of mine (made for the Blizzcon 2013 contest), which is of overall much higher quality than the full-length movie:
I think if it was 2011 and we had a ton of traffic and users it would be awesome, but I'm not too sure you will get a lot of participates and interest. A lot of the current users have their own epic projects they are working on or are just trying to maintain the site., e.g. CCI, feedback/testing thread, terrain thread, wiki.
I barely have enough time to play the bi-weekly map-testing thread!! Let alone make a cinematic!!
Have you looked into the Blizzard Contests?? Maybe putting your effort into making a movie for that contest and enlisting mapsteristas to critique and make suggestions...so you will win it and bring home the glory!!
I have always wanted to make cinematic on the editor. I have never found anybody with the super skill and time or commitment. Not to mention wanting to work with a "wargirl" for such.
I am one always wanting to see or promote creativity in others so I look forward to any cinematic project.
Dear movie addicts, we should really get together on a dish cord or sky pee to make the first sc2mapster movie club <3
Dear cranny, White out was a really nice display of what is to come.. you should be proud of your work. Would you like to talk shop on galaxy with a bunch of newbs? (me included) i honestly think you would gain a lot from the exchange :D
Dear jay, thank you for your continued involvement, i'm not sure this isn't 2011 :)
Dear wargirlwargirl :) how about this proposal:
you read a script i provide, you choose a scene you want to do, you build the set of the movie on a map,
once you have something "potent",
i place initial cameras and triggers for the scene to play out (from the script you read)
then we "talk" a bit
with both your editor and mine open on our comps and i show u how to change stuff.. then u run with it because now you are addicted to it for ever ... ? <3
Again.. i profess to having barely scratched the surface of a start regarding all galaxy can offer.. me noob! i only use cameras and play them out to see the result.. i however am confident that whatever i am envisioning is do able and worthwhile!
Furthermore !!! (i always seem to be misunderstood ..so I feel compelled to say it again :( )
my goal is to make a movie with
real live footage inserted unto galaxy footage!
so (if you know anything about the movies) YOU know i need help!
While having as much "original" material already present on the map is a gargantuan task and yields an interesting/awesome product
, this would go beyond.
(that level of compositing and involvement has not been done before was what i meant, if the "never" felt unwarranted)

Monthly Map Scene Contest
Each month a scene (or several small ones) is voted on in a thread as

Why "at least" ?
Because i am ready to foot the initial monthly 50
and
the contest's loot could be allowed to grow from a "mapster pot".
Each mapster participant can add to a pot that will increase the winner prize..
pitching 5 extra € for the cause!!!
..
kind of like the game army troops play while at war (see saving private ryan):
"what was the captain's job before the army?"
"Pay 5 $ will get you the pot if you guess it right"
Disclaimer (obviously the more the war goes on, the more people who have payed to play have died)
So.. this is the debate to not do it thread..
please do tell me what you think about the idea
