We need a Team of In-Game Actors for our Trailer

[Ryan Dancey]

We are going to record a lot of in-game footage for our first trailer. To do that I need to recruit a team of players to help us stage the scenes we need to record.

We'll do this work in the afternoons and evenings to get as many people as we can - we'll probably work on this from around 5pm to 8pm on weeknights and possibly during the day on weekends.

You'll need to be able to follow directions very carefully. When the director tells you to walk to a certain point, and face a certain direction, and take a certain action, you have to do it - when we're trying to get several dozen characters to all perform on queue, anyone who isn't able to follow directions will waste the time of a lot of people.

There will be a lot of standing around doing nothing. It takes time to get everyone into the right positions and we'll be experimenting as we go to get the right shots from the right angles. For 30 seconds of recorded footage it might take 30 minutes of staging. You'll need to be able to be bored for long stretches.

Our concept for our trailer has good guys and bad guys in roughly equal numbers. Depending on how many volunteers we have you may have to play a character that doesn't match up with your "in game" persona. Be willing to accept that the needs of casting may outweigh your preferences as to "side".

We want to shoot footage of groups harvesting, fighting monsters, and ambushing and fighting each other. And we want to recored an epic battle around a Tower.

If this sounds interesting to you, leave a message in this thread indicating that you'd like to help. When we get ready to schedule our first in-game recording session, I will contact you via paizo.com private message to give you the details.

To help me keep track of the volunteers, please don't post in this thread if you're not able to participate. Thanks!

[sspitfire1]

Can I play myself as a goat?

[Kero]

I'd be happy to participate. For me, however, it will depend very much on when exactly you need me around, as I'm located in Europe.

[RHMG Animator]

Count me in,

Though it would help to setup a In-game spot to meet up for it.
And setting a time for when to meet to work on it.

[TEO Cheatle]

I am up for helping out.

[Hobson Fiffledown]

Sounds fun. Not to brag, but I'm pretty much an expert at standing around doing nothing.

I'll play myself in the trailer, but I want Christopher Walken to play me in the movie.

[Diella]

Hmmm. Let me work on this with my agent and voice coach.

[<Kabal> Daeglin]

I'd like to help if I can.

[<kabal> Bunibuni]

*SIGH* Visions of the one time I was a movie extra for a couple of weeks. Stand around and do nothing. Get into position and stand around and do nothing. Then do something but be quiet about it. :-)

Ah, the glory days of youth!

[Bluddwolf]

I'll log in for this. I'd gladly take part in ambushing an escalation group or attack a group in a town, to showcase the possibilities of Open World PvP.

[Nanulak]

I am game depending on when.

[KOTC WxCougar]

Count me in also.

[Paper Weasel]

[Pyronous Rath]

You can count on my steel! even if the grass still sucks

[Gedichtewicht of Brighthaven]

-Can you teleport characters to the set?

I can play Robin Hood as well. As long as I get to attack from ambush, and kill stuff, I'm good.

[DeciusBrutus]

I'm in. Are we coordinating via TS, Mumble, or some other method?

[Zef Starr]

My avatar is a star. She's hotter than reality by far.

[TEO Cheatle]

I would offer CotP Mumble, it is public, most of the leadership/secondary leadership of the game has access to it, and we can hold 1500 without any issues.

This made me laugh, cynically.

[Mistwalker]

I am interested.

[Hardin Steele]

Info on days and map location so we can get to the right place? It's a big world and will take a long time to run across the map (unless there are magical portals set up for GM use).

[Capitalocracy]

I'm willing. In-game handle is Guildenstern.

[RHMG Animator]

We could try a mini-Hamlet Production.

[<Kabal>Keign]

I like seeing how the glamour of being on TV attracts everyone even if it is just their in-game character.

Also totally in but I would probably be late every day, so maybe not reliable enough?

I believe Photoshop works for video, as well.

[Harad Navar]

As to timing and character/equipment, I suspect that GW will provide specific equipment and teleport players to the correct location for the trailer recording.

[Illililili]

I can help on the weekends and some weeknights, from 6 to 9pm Mountain Standard Time.
