[FAQ] LOTR film WoW Style! [FAQ]

[Unholyshaman]

Alright guys for those of you who don't know.
Bloodstain and I are in the process of creating an in-game wow movie.
It will be a movie featuring Lord of the Rings ... WOW STYLE!

Basically we are going to portray the Lord of the Rings using in-game wow characters, possibly portraying it in a way that fellow world of warcraft gamers can relate to and appreciate.

Some of you may notice that there are several threads for this movie spread out amongst our mmowned forums so I decided to create a complete FAQ for this movie.

Dear LOTR WOW Movie Crew,
You can always find the newest file HERE !
Please notice that you have to write your personal script. Modify this version and upload it again, so that we can take a look on it. I noticed that the official version contained a few spelling mistakes and some grama problems (no big deal). You can open the script (XLS) with OpenOffice or with MS Windwos Excel (2003 upwoards).
KEY:
Script Addition
Voice
Whats happening
Things for the crew (e.g. Cameramovement or lights)
To the voice actors: Please rewrite your script, may watch the movie again, just to know whats happening.

Regards,
Aziris

We are currently looking for :
*In game character actors
-To act out scenes ingame

*Voice actors
-To cover the actual speech for the ingame actors

*Accomplished emulator developers and experienced gms
-To help set up correct event and walk routing for NPC's for when we need alot of extras etc.

*Script Writters
-To help create the storyline, we have a good idea what we are doing but more ideas are better

*Skilled Sony Vegas or movie editing
-Duh

We will be using ingame acting on emulator servers, possibly live when large crowds are required.

Here is the script to the first episode! (sorry for typos typing out of my notebook ) This is just a guide, If voice actors would like to change the lines in little ways to help suit there voice etc they can feel free!

<Gandalf is walking across a green field towards the shire, people are working in the field, a young boy runs up to Gandalf>

Boy: Exscus me old lady?

Gandalf: I'm a man!

Boy: Sorry sir, why are you coming to the shire mr?

Gandalf: 32

Boy: hu?

Gandalf: Im not old im 32!

Boy: But sir your hair is gray... Your a witch!

<The boy crys for help and 30 people suround gandalf>

-End of scene-

<Frodo, Bilbo, Sam, Pippin and merry are all sitting outside facing towards a house>

Frodo: Bilbo you did say Gandalf is coming didnt you?

Bilbo: Yes my boy, I dont know where he could be.

<Gandalf can be seen running behind the hobbits being chanced by a large mob>
Sam: Hes bringing the fireworks isnt he?

Pippin: Oh I do hope so!

Merry: So do I! Remember what happened last year?!

< Screen fades into a scene: A local policeman had just finished his shift

"You just won't believe what happened this evening , in all my years on the force I've never seen anything like it."

"Oh yes dear, what happened ?"

"I came across two guys down by the canal, one of them was drinking battery acid and the other was eating fireworks."

"Drinking battery acid and eating fireworks!! What did you do with them ?"

"Oh that was easy, I charged one and let the other off..."

<Screen fades back to the 5 hobbits>

Frodo: Do you really find that funny?

<Pippin and merry are laughing hard>

<Camera leaves the hobbits and runs to the town center (fast forward effect) >

Man 5: He has a cat!

Gandalf: So what...

Man 3: What is your cat called sir?

Gandalf: Bubbles!

Man 4: short for Beelzebubbles! (Beelzebub pun)

Gandalf: I'm out of here!

<Gandalf blinks into a tent and hides>

<TEXT:Later that night>

<Its night and there is a tent with a cilowet of 2 hobbits in the tent and they are talking>

Merry: no no thats not big enough.

<one of the figgers cheers>

<There is a party in the town center which observe the dragon firework flying overhead.>

Gandalf: quite down Bilbo is going to make his speach!

<crowed quiten down and bilbo takes to the stage>

Bilbo: Its my 111th birthday!

<crowed cheers>

Bilbo: <starts to stutter> It's time for me to go now though... good... good bye everybody...

<Bilbo vanishs into thin air>

-end of scene-

<The camera is under a "night vision" effect and is facing a doorway, bilbo walks in. The camera is titled "Gand Cam">
