Hello all!
I would like to invite the day of defeat community to participate in an original day of defeat movie project.
First off, I hope the moderators don't mind me posting this here. I think this project strongly relates to the dod game and I am only trying to help boost the community. Your support would be greatly appreciated!
-----------------------------
Brief Movie Info
-----------------------------
The overall theme for the movie is a historic look at the Day of Defeat from beta until today. It will be a mixture of Day of Defeat 1.3 and Day of Defeat: Source footage. As well as historic elements of past beta days, important events, and other related material. ...And of course, cool frag footage.
This is an ambitious project, meant to be as professional grade as possible and therefore you can expect a fair amount of 3D, Special Effects, and meticulous editing involved. A custom edited & mixed soundtrack will lay the foundation.
We have dedicated visual effects artists, mappers and editors from the community lending their talents for this project.
If I had to drop a style reference--it'd be roughly based of the style of the Day of Defeat Source trailer and other Valve dod mini-movies, but more grand in scale. To emphasize, this is meant to look polished and not amateur, we're putting lots of time and energy to ensure this!
Besides containing the usual exciting frag section, we have decided to include a kind of prologue sequence. This opening scene revolves around a dramatic allied take over of a bunker inside Day of Defeat classic map: dod_hill. You can maybe consider it a kind of BF1942-style intro, but for Day of Defeat.
This is what we're filming right now.
--------------------------------------------
What you get for participating!
--------------------------------------------
Everyone who participates, however little (even just by showing up), will receive a full name credit in the movie. Ideally (that is if you provide us with the information we need), your credit will be "FirstName "TAG" LastName (Clan)" or a similar variation.
In addition to credits, we would like to reward your time spent helping us make this movie by offering a few prizes.
There are 3 different prizes you can win:
1. $20 Steam Gift Certificate
2. HL1 or HL2 Game Server (either public or private) for 3 months. You pick the game, mod, addons, etc.
3. 50GB Webspace & Seedbox on my 1Gbit Up/Down bandwidth server (it's quite fast!) for 3 months.
Each award of the 3 awards will be given out twice, using a random raffle based on participation. There are 24 more scenes to be filmed and each time you participate we will save your steamID you automatically receive one raffle ticket. The more you participate, the more times your name/id will be entered. So if you're there for all 24 scenes remaining, you'll have that many more chances to win. If you win, you will have a choice to pick which prize you'd like, assuming it hasn't already been taken. Each person can only win once.
--------------------------------------------------------
So you're interested? Here's how to join us…
--------------------------------------------------------
1. Join the dodForever Movie steam group: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dodforevermovie
2. Send us an email with you name, tag, clan and steam name. Send email to [email protected]
Some people have expressed caution about spam and email. Well, this project is real (we've already had two events) and we would never spam you or anything like that. The only reason we ask your info is so we can credit your name in the movie credits properly. An email would make things much easier than having to track you down later. If you're still reluctant, that's ok, the most important thing is you join the steam group as all immediate information is posted there.
To participate you must have the following:
a. Latest update of Day of Defeat: Source installed
b. Ventrilo installed and updated.
c. Ability to listen to our directions and role-play certain parts/roles (no worries, it's not overly complicated).
b. Patience, there may be some downtime while we explain directions to everyone or organize since there will be large groups of participants involved.
All details, such as server and connection information is available within the steam group announcements and info sections. If you have any questions please feel free to email us ([email protected]) or message "Vlad" from the steam group.
Thank you all so much for your help! We really appreciate it.
Have a pleasant evening.
-Vlad & dodForever Movie Team
P.S. Some of you have special talents or experience in visual effects, editing, 3D work, demo camera smooth capture etc. If you are interested in working with us, we would love your help! Just send us an email (to [email protected]) and let us know what you're interested in working on. Thanks.
