I don't know. I like the idea and I think that idea has potential. You'll need to get a lot of people on board with it using servers to film it, ours or other wise. I'll just say that I'm interested in helping and think that could be a fun thing to work on, and possibly get the eGO name out there.

Im all up for something fun like that.
Plot, anyone?
I actually wrote a comic in school lie a couple of months ago.
It depicts two marines, sniping out the Bravo window onto the scene below.
It starts off with a badly positioned insurgent, who has no cover, reloading his SKS when BOOM HEADSHOT!!!. he gets sniped by the duo from above.
"Wow, look at these noobs!" says one marine to the other.
Then we have an overhead view, along with the subtitle "a typical day on the eG FF server".
"i mean look at this sniper" the crouching marine continues, "he doesn't even have any cover".
As he is saying that, we should be looking at a reflection of the insurgent in the scope that is pointed in the latter's direction.
We should then be looking a bit over the noob sniper's shoulder, with the duo still in view in the window. As a marine sprints towards the "pharmacy", the noobsniper readies and aims.
And then BOOM!!! Mr. Noob right before our eyes is completely pwned.
Out of the stairway, across from the mosque, should appear two more insurgents, one with an rpg. The rpg fires at the marine duo. The marine with the sniper yells "DUCK!!!" But it is already too late.
The rpger smiles and says "boom, headshot". Then he turns to his partner and remarks "Wow, these guys are noobs!" The other replies "WHAT WAS THAT??? I CAN"T HEAR YOU!!!!" because he is deafened by the blast.
Or, we could do "How to Win {insert map name here}" videos. just another idea.
I think this is a great idea as it posses a new way to advertise for our clan (if that's what we want to do). To solve the problem of finding time and space for this, we could try using one of the Idea Labs to set it up....
I also do have Windows Movie Maker, so once we round up some footage, we can compile it and add the charachters' lines and sounds. If you want to send me your own soundbites of your voiceacting, that would be even better. Just make sure they're in some sort of Windows-Media-Player-readable file.

How not to win would be funnier. On almaaden have a marine laying in the middle of the street. Using his saw, he starts spraying the area around the mosque. Insurgents sit back and enjoy the day making idle chatter about the weather and stuff. Then someone walks up and says "That guy realizes that there is only 2 minutes left, he hasn't gotten a single kill, and we still have alpha...right?"
Switch to a scene of an insurgent sitting behind a door with a shotgun shooting the same guy running in spawn after spawn. Another insurgent comes up behind him. "Hey what you doing?" "Im looking at the mortgage rates in the area, a warzone really lowers the price of the housing" Use after effects to show a magazine similar to what he was talking about at his feet. Shotgun goes off. "Oh yeah and I am killing this idiot" Other guy, "he does realize there are 12 other ways for him to go right?" Then the guy runs in and doesnt get immediatly blasted. In a high pitched voice, have him say "Wowzers finally made it" dude with the shotgun "hey can you help me, I am out of ammo" Dude behind gets him his gun. "thanks"
Ive got plently lol.

Yeah, lets just come up with a general premise first if we're going for a series. Is it going to be about a few guys or random characters; are they moving around, meaning different maps most of the time, or is there a centralized place where most things take place. And then is it current day or something else.
For me, when I think of Insurgency the first image that comes to mind is Sinjar, so I think that should be the main place where things are shot.

We need someone to be producer/project manager and then to pick people for the various jobs, just think of the jobs used to make a regular movie.
Director: to tell the actors what to do (in game or voice)
Script writer: someone to write the dialog and stage directions
Cinemtographer: to figure out the locations and angles and what not
Lighting, set design: already done if you're using an existing map. Otherwise, someone like JJBtch who makes maps
Camera: to do the recording
Editing: to cut the various pieces of footage into a movie. Takes the raw footage and makes a movie that changes from shot to shot at the right times.
Sound Editing: same thing, but with sound
Foley: responsible for creating/recording/finding various sound effects
Music: are we adding any music? Someone needs to either pick music to use or somehow create it. jniscool is a professional opera singer and he sang for us in vent last night (at our request) and people said him singing ave maria while they were killing people in the game was really really awesome.
Hair/Makeup: Not needed.

So, we've got an editor, a camera guy, and an actor. I think we need some more people but we're off to a start.
