A group of Jedi are sent to the different worlds with a battalion of clone soldiers to persuade the system into peace.

Jace Taran posted:You know, I was thinking. It is going to be hard to actually choose whose story idea to go with. The problem is: Who makes the choice in the end, and what happens if a bunch of people think it's a bad choice? One person choosing probably wouldn't be a good idea for that reason. However, having the community decide won't work out to well, either. Everyone is going to vote for their own idea.
backdeskproductions posted:Even though my whole mind was set on ancient SW times... I'm putting my vote in for GCW. It's a lot easier and its actually possible to do. It may not be this big glorious fan film, but we're heading in the right direction to be able to pull off something of "that magnitude".
bdp posted: RocketGirl... I'm sorry for "bickering" and I'm sure the rest of us feel the same way. It's not good film producing educate.
bdp posted: Yes... let's focus on the story and script coming around before we can jump right into the rest of pre production. Getting a list of all of the storylines over to the fan fiction forum would be a good idea. Or even if we can get a poll organized, that would be better. BUT there may be too many stories to fit in a poll. This will take some thinking...
Jace Taran posted:Only problem is that this approach will likely lead to different clips that may not match up very well.
Jace Taran posted:I'm not talking about the difference in quality when combining different shots (for holograms, viewscreens, etc). I was actually referring to how odd it might be for different scenes to have varying levels of quality (eg, a noisy/grainy shot for one scene, and suddenly it cuts to the next scene which is clear), or even just radically different lighting situations, such that there'd probably be some color correction required. Doable, but there'd probably be some extra work to make transitions between scenes more smooth.
backdeskproductions posted:You know what. I alone was not just going to work on this thing. I was proposing a community project and I have been TRYING to get some people to contribute... but if people wont contribute, then there is no sense in doing this COMMUNITY project. It won't disappoint me, I'm actually currently breathing breaths of relief. Thanks for nothing.

Jedsithor posted:I actually think bgii_2000's "Tales of a..." idea is pretty interesting and would allow for multiple shoots, especially if we were to make my Sith War idea (which like Rocketgirls idea, had no real feedback). <snipped the idea> Thoughts? In earlier threads I read your suggestion of 'throwing out' the semi-cannonical sith war history in favor of your version, and now we've seen your outline in that vein. Don't you think that *creating* conflicting plots within the GFFA mythos is asking for trouble? In the sense that there are a fair number of EU sources (I think, perhaps, mostly comic books; which I've never seen, btw) that have already outlined the history of that time-period. For those who have partaken of the Dark Horse material, that IS the story of the Sith Wars. The war might still make for an interesting film project, but I'd be more inclined to look for //harmony// with cannonical, however weakly so, stories. On a slightly different note, I'll cast my vote for RG's idea, as long as it's written with an eye to //supporting// the EU tales which occur later. I also like the barely-connected episode format. Perhaps the only connections we allow should be via holonet? Then one director could film one half of a conversation with an actor from their episode, while a second director would be using that hologram as an VFX element in their episode.
