	[/quote] Runner Set during the Jedi Purge, it tells the story of a Jedi who, finds himself on a nameless world, hiding in plain sight and trying to blend in with the population as Imperial Elite Forces search the galaxy, hunting down and killing any Jedi they find. Having gotten rid of his lightsaber to avoid any outward signs of his Jedi-status, our hero finds himself living a new life with a poor, but kind family, even falling in love as the ways of the Jedi Code become a distant memory. But when he is recognised by a former Republic diplomat turned imperial propagandist, he can only watch in horror as Imperial troops drag the ones he has grown to care about on to the street, executing them in public for being jedi sympathisers and traitors. So he's forced to run, across the city with a blaster on his hip and the Force as his ally as Imperial troops descend on him.[/quote] That makes a VERY good story, but the problem is... how are we going to get multiple filmmakers involved? (which is the real idea of making this fan film) We should use a story that branches into all sorts of different stories like my War Story idea. (not saying thats the one we're doing) but something that has that many branches to it will mean more than one filmmaker will do their part. One filmmaker can film the flashbacks of one of the vets and another can do another and so on and so forth. -----signature----- I now have surround sound capabilities!

	Well how about a series of stories set during "The Dark Times" then? "Runner" could be the one that deals with the Jedi Purge. You could have one about the rise of smuggling, one about bounty hunters tracking down rogue terrorists (early rebels), you could have one that has no action and is entirely political, dealing with the imperial senate and the dawn of the rebellion...one thing I agree with Rocketgirl about is that the period after Revenge of the Sith , dealing with The Dark Times and the Civil War has a lot of untold stories that could be used. -----signature----- KOTOR Movie Trilogy Forums: http://z11.invisionfree.com/KOTOR_Movies

	I would say (once the era is decided) that a series of concurrent stories is decided on. Then each group could make their own film based on one those series, and then all those stories could be edited together to make one large film. With some planning, it's quite possible for some of those stories to intersect via viewscreens or holograms. It could be a mix of film characters, EU characters, and original characters. Each element of the SW universe could be addressed in different films which could keep everyone happy. -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" ROTJ - "It has a nice mix of muppets and patricide that you don't see very often" - Darthboba Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

Each element of the SW universe could be addressed in different films which could keep everyone happy. That's what I was thinking, but everyone else seems to think that would be nearly impossible. Also, the viewscreen idea just screams "GENERIC!" We want something that feels like we were all together working on this, and not actually far away in separate states or countries. For my War Story idea: (so far just an idea) 1 shooting unit for the vets 1 shooting unit each for the flashbacks of the vets. (multiple filmmakers) 1 post production crew adding in all of the necessary FX at the end of shooting the flashbacks. We could be FAR away from each other and still use email to get the clips to everyone who needs to work them. BUT the viewers wouldn't know we were distant from each other if we didn't tell them first. THAT's the idea. GOAL: to shoot a brilliant fan film using as many filmmakers as we can from all over the country or world without the viewers knowing we did it that way. -----signature----- I now have surround sound capabilities!

	Well, if you edit scenes from the various stories so they intercut with each other, it will make it seem to be a group film. Like in TPM, one group does the gungan battle, one group does the arrest of the Neimoidians, one group does the saber fights, and one group does the space battle -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" ROTJ - "It has a nice mix of muppets and patricide that you don't see very often" - Darthboba Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

The trouble is worrying about if the characters have to meet at some point, and depending on the distance the characters and crews would be from each other, that might not be possible. -----signature----- I now have surround sound capabilities!

	Plus creative writing of course.

That's what greenscreen is for Then the trouble with that is getting the characters to react to each other in the appropriate ways, making sure you can't see a green tinted outline around the characters, finding a compositor willing to take the challenge of making it work... then theres how the audio would sound, fuzzy or clear, then there's the possibility that the cameras wouldn't look the same either. BUT if we want to do it that way... that's fine with me. -----signature----- I now have surround sound capabilities! I just need a project to exploit my newly discovered powers. Tee hee -Jon C.

	Seriously, ADR is not difficult to do, and gives so much more freedom in post production. TENCLO was 100% dubbed -----signature----- They are not "songs", they are "tracks" or "cues" ROTJ - "It has a nice mix of muppets and patricide that you don't see very often" - Darthboba Everybody knows that the bird is the word!

	How do you do that and not make it so that the lines are off from the lip movement? Is there some way of facilitating that, or do you just have to be good at saying it to match the lip movements? -----signature----- For those of you following along at home, don't forget your...subatomic house?
