The name is a placeholder (I just want to have a cool acronym out of it).
So, what the hell is this?
It's pretty simple. I want to make a "dumb/laugh/facepalm" SC2 cinematic. I have 2 particular references as to what I'm speaking about, both of Gmod, the best tool to produce these "things".
Gmod Idiot Box Episode 1: (there's 9 episodes, all of them full of win, watch them all if you like this one)
Gmod 100 Ways to Die 2: (the first part is nice, too, give it a view if you like this one)
I think these 2 examples are the perfect definition of what I want to achieve. I already have some ideas, and even made a collection of some EPIC FAIL / WIN at league games. But, I think this project is "too big" and "too awesome" to be done alone. I need voice actors, more ideas, help with the code would be welcome, someone with a good PC should record it...
Whatever; for the moment, feel free to post any stupid mad insane senseless idea you have. No matter this project never sees the light, we can always have a good laugh :D.
And if it turns people really like the idea and want to see this live, then we could try gathering a team or collecting series of "funny shorts" and make people die. Of laughter. Or something.
I'll post some meme parodies and league fail/wins later :P.
Could been fun indeed to do a SC2 Machinima... If you don't know of Battlecruiser Operational, check it on Google.
About voice actors, as far as I know (because I had to find voice actors once for a project), I think the easiest way is to ask your friends, family, and whoever you meet in real life. This is a kind of experience some people will enjoy to do, because most of the time they're not into videogames so they think the only help they can give is throwing ideas. Especially on a project like this which is more a movie than a game, you will surely find 3-4 guys/girls ready to join.
If your goal is to add memes (rick roll, ran ran ruu, chocolate rain, etc...) you can check my Youtube profile. I have a playlist which contains some of the most common memes. There is also a channel (can't remember the name but I think it's KnowYourMeme) where each of them are explained in a video. There is also knowyourmeme.com (self-explanatory). Basically I'm not even sure you'll need voice actors... I find it pretty funny when people do a whole video thanks to sounds from movies/games/memes put together. I used to do whole sessions with a friend on MSN using only quotes from Wayne's World... :D
About code... well, since your project is more visual than a real gameplay, you can cheat. Using triggers is not that hard, adding models and tweaking with datas can be pretty easy as long as you don't want to do silly powers with Zeratul warping 3 times per second around a character, popping a nuke at each strike, and making the enemy rise in the air to fall on his head... Anyway, as soon as you need some help about it, you're in the right place to ask. Same goes for recording the whole thing...
I'd pay for a joke about Duke Nukem For(n)ever, too... Especially since Tychus says "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... I'm all out of gum." If you put 3 seconds of the Duke Nukem theme in the background while Tychus says the quote, you're my new hero.
Well, I'm from Spain, so it's hard to get understandable english talk around here xDDD.
This wouldn't need "too much quality". After all, part of the fun of it is just the stupidity of the way it was made.
About the Duke Nukem reference, hell, why not?
Note that this is just one of my "stupid idea of the day". I don't intend it to become a real project, but in case people likes it and decides to try something (making each of us some kind of short clips and then putting them together would give a decent result, imo) we could try making something. I remember the times of W3, with stupid maps like "Life of a emancipated", where you had huge laughs with all the jokes and weird stuff.
Here you have two of my original works, that I may use for this, if it gets support. I usually make this kind of stuff when I'm bored xDDD.
STARCRAFT: REPERCUSSIONS OF CREEP
Sarah Kerrigan waited. The lights above her blinked and sparked out of the air. There were zerg in the base. She didn't see them, but had expected them now for years. Her warnings to James Raynor were not listenend to and now it was too late. Far too late for now, anyway.
Sarah was a confederate ghost for fourteen years. When she was young she watched the academy and she said to dad "I want to be on the academy daddy."
Dad said "No! You will BE KILL BY ZERG"
There was a time when she believed him. Then as he got crippled he stopped. But now in the space station base of New Gettysburg she knew there were zerg.
"This is Raynor" the radio crackered. "You must fight the zerg!"
So Sarah gotted her nuke rifle and blew up the wall.
"SHE GOING TO KILL US" said the zerg
"I will shoot at her" said the overmind and he fired the chrysalis missile. Sarah nukeed at him and tried to blew him up. But then Arcturus left and they were trapped and not able to kill.
"No! I must kill the zerg" she shouted
The radio said "No, Sarah. You are the zerg"
And then Sarah was a zerg.

Raynor: What happen?
Swann: Moebius set up us the trap.

Raynor: What!
Horner: Main screen turn on.
Raynor: Who's you?!

Valerian: All your artifact are belong to us.
Valerian: You are on the way to invading Char.
Raynor: What you say!!
Valerian: Kerrigan has no other chance to survive make your time.

It would be awesome to have those times back :).
Haaaaa, good old days... :')
