So CO Help for a FanFilm

The Dark Academy Character List
--------------------------------

Bo-Ran(M)- Jedi Master- Jedi Robe, outfit
Price(M) - Bo's Padawan- Jedi Robe, outfit
Xanatos(M)- Sith Lord - Sith Cape, outfit
Kawatrina(F)- Sith Apprentice- Sith outfit
Master Wieksi(M/F)- Council Member- Jedi Robe, outfit (Can use someone elses (Only hologram))
Jinglya(M/F) - Jedi Warrior - Jedi Robe, outfit

Jedi Fighters - At least 3 - Jedi outfit (some robes)
Sith Fighters - At least 4 - Sith outfit (a few capes)

I'd like to get as many of the last two as possible
That's a cast of at least thirteen... Can we do it?

So far, I have JediDragon (Cory), JGoC (Sarah), Rogue (Michael), and Domier (David). Anyone else on the forum is welcome to join up!

I've also got a few more friends here that think they can do it. And Sarah, what about your brother (JBoC)? He might make a good "Sithling"...

Costume List
-------------------
Jedi Robes - 4+ (Have one)
Jedi Outfits - 5+ (Have two)
Sith Capes - 2-3
Sith outfits - 6+

 

Hear ye! Hear ye!

JGoC is now the official Art Director of the Dark Academy!

 

Yaay!!!!

And I bet my brother may like to do it... he's got a couple friends that may be up for some stuff too...

Just so you know, he looks alot like the kid who plays harry potter.

 

okay, I already have a jedi/sith outfit. It can work as either one. It's kind of dark gray, but when I put the robe on it looks Jedi-ish...though by then I oughta have a black robe (I hope) that will be quite sith-like. So whatever you cast me as, my costume is pretty much covered I'd say.

If you're going to have to come up with other costumes, that might cost you a pretty penney...hopefully you can find enough already made ones to work for you...

 

Don't worry about the black robe Cory... I've got piles of fabric right now...

Ahh.. and I have your brown cloak too...do you want me to put a hook on it so you can close it when you wear it?

 

sarah: that would be great!

I should be able to get you the $$ sometime after I return. I'll also pick up the cost of your bedpanhat doc and jen are apparently coordinating.

 

OK, I met up with David (Domier) the other day and this is what I've come up with for preliminary parts according to the actor/actresses size and build:

Bo-Ran- Cory (Costume's done)
Price - David (Costume's done)
Kawatrina - Sarah
Xanatos - Michael (Mike ok?)

Any name changes is fine with me. The more I look at them, the cornier they sound. (The characters names... Not your real ones...)

 

how open are you to line changes? the script is great, but there are a couple lines that I think I'd say just slightly different than the way they're written (not changing any meaning and for the most part just contracting or using a more natural version of an existing word). But it's your movie, so if you want me to word-for-word it, that's why I'm an actor...it's a challenge

 

Xanatos is cool by me....I'll just have to dig out the 'ol Sith outfit...

 

So, when is the planned filming? Summer some time? I would like to help, but am in the middle of planning my film now. I won't be ready to film until late summer. So, as I acquire stuff (lights, camera(got), mic, my costume) I would be glad to help. JGoC has offered to help with my costume but I haven't even begun buying fabric yet, so if you are filming too soon, then I won't have a costume ready. Let me know, and drop me a script. My email is in my profile.

 

We should be filming starting the last week in June. The script is available at www.dragon-d.com

I am definately open to script changes (Even if it does change the meaning). It's the first movie script I've ever written, so I'm expecting input and changes from other people.

Post the changes here, or go to dragon-d.com and click script suggestions.

 

And thanks you guys so much for volunteering (you do know your not get payed, right?)...

It'll be nice to work with some fellow Star Wars *natics

*Put a prefix of your choice here. Some example are: lu- fa- and hotdog-

 

If you feel the need to change the names (you were complaining about them ealier...)

Names are my specialty

 

Bummer. Out of town last weekend of June thru July 14th. Sorry!

 

Please please change!!!

The names are really corny...

Thanks anyway. Feel free to submit ideas though!

 

Gallith: I'll pring it out and do penink changes and then post them on here for your approval (if you don't like them DON'T let me change them...it's YOUR movie, not mine. I'm just here for the role and creative input)

Jyro: could you possibly send me the script for yours? I'd love to be involved in both of these fanfilms in any way possible, but I don't think I've seen your script yet. My email here is cory.peter2@psab.af.mil (if I don't send a confirmation, I didn't get it, the email server is acting a little funny here right now). Thanks!

 

Rogue: do you machine your own sabers, do you purchase them, or do you have someone that can do it for you?

 

I have some that are machined (by other people), some that are cast for stunts out of resin, and some that I make myself out of home depot parts...

You can get an idea of the construction process here;

I wanted to make sure that everyone here knows that I am 16, and everyone is ok with a 16 year old director... I will understand if you decide to back out.

 

For those of you who don't know. I'm going on a cruise all next week. I'll be back on Monday, the 20th.

My Itinerary

 

Hey, if any of you are going to the meeting tomorrow, would you maybe bring up the film, and see if anyone else wants to join in? The final schedule will be based on the casts schedules, so nothing's set in stone yet.

 

We'll bring it up at the meeting, however it is next Saturday, not tomorrow

No problem though.

 

That's what I meant

 

LOL.. ok.

And as a reminder could all of you who haven't fill out the little blurb about yourself in the 'Welcome to the Colorado SPrings forum' post. I went through a ton of trouble to get that sticky post set up

 

Well, this is it... I'm leaving in the morning.

If you guys would keep seeing what you can dig up with costumes and props and script changes, that would be awesome! See ya in a week!
