Short Film Ideas

Post by SneakyPie » 25 Feb 2011, 16:20

So if the that Minecraft Documentary gets made we're going to have our very own 15 second long video at the end of it!

They still need more money so check out this thread for more information.

I want to get ideas from you all on what those 15 seconds could be about. The idea is to capture the spirit of Escapecraft and cause others to become intrigued in what we're all about.

So let's get those ideas cracking!

How about a fast flight at a high altitude over some of the major areas starting at the spawn? Like, a fast, blurry flight to major areas, then a slower, not blurry flight inside them, and end it with something amazing - like a landmark blowing up. (Running on a copy of the map, obviously)

im thinking more of a brief history of escapecraft. Like maybe we show the admins in the ship, they a scene in a storm or something and the ship crashes(the spawn). and then one of the admins saids, we landed in escapecraft. seems like a good idea

(Camera pans over map)
(Cut to black screen with white font that says what the narrator says next)
Narrator: Minecraft is even more fun with other people.
(Cut to Blackadder 51 burning down things, Advice Sneaky saying y i no vet, some eejit jumping on the bantrap, the IC in progress, CUT building, etc., other important/funny Escapecraft things)
(Cut to black screen with white font that says what the narrator says next)
Narrator: Especially when the other people are totally insane.
(Cut to Escapecraft logo, motto either being the current motto, or 'Over 4,000 served', without creeper. Creeper comes in to the shot, sssssss, boom, explosion)
The End

That was a tad confusing, sorry. I'll post a storyboard later on.

Are we able to choose music for the video or will it be without sound?
Allthough i suggest we show a variety of different aspects of escapia from the IC project, to different towns and cities, to a community gathering, to a plot aspect. (such as the shipwreck)
We should show something, or lots of things that show our server as different and unique from the countless others.

I say some short clips of each main town, with people walking around in them (so they don't look deserted), then people working on Imperial City. Then, as will said, have someone run across the screen with creepers chasing them. They would then blow up and "Escapecraft" text would fade out of the explosion.

I say the video starts with shoots of flying through the horizon with some awesome relaxing song... then SUDDENLY... a flash of lightning and rain interrupts the scene and switches to a horrid storm in the middle of the night, where 3 players struggle to survive against a godly ammount of monsters !!

as they struggle, BLACKADDER comes in and flames every monster on the scene ( causing a ring of fire )

After that, the rain clears up and they thank Black! Black evily grins and sets one of them on fire :mrgreen: end of story.

EDIT by black : removed Bold and fixed spell error. =D

I think the main thing that people want are explosions. :?
