For some time I've been wanting to make a epic, and by epic i mean the term in cinema/film making..A TBD number of series in the Napoleon Total War Game. Before I list below the positions/duties i will need help with i will give a little more insight as to what the goal is.
I am DMA Major (Digital Media Arts) and I want to put this as part of my portfolio for when i graduate in August. Now i know that Napoleon is limited compared to other new titles in the series, perhaps we can have a debate on that another time, I know there are mods for this game to help with more realistic AI behavior and possible cinema perks, if so please let me know I have seen some amazing work by members on here, In particular "Scortched Earth". As amazing as that was, i would like to incorporate much more in depth as character building, storytelling and emotional connection to specific characters or situations, Not only getting close with the story and people involved, but to show the true grit and horrors of the era of warfare. Now again, this may be hard to do with limitations of this game, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I HAVE NOT MADE MOVIE/MACHINIMA WITH THIS GAME BEFORE! However, there is always post production that can help, but that will only look so good at points and not help in others. Now the computer I own is pretty solid, but to max out all graphics and run fraps i do not think will get good or reliable FPS. I have a seperate computer for editing (Mac, check bio). For this project I will be Directing and be lead of post production. If you are interested and feel you can apply talents or labor to a role and help make a epic film then add me as a friend and send me a message with the role you want to have. Ex: "Screen Writer"
Please provide work in areas if you are applying for if you can. I want to start this asap. We will have a pre production meeting prior to our first test shoot, YOU MUST BE COMMITTED AND BE ABLE TO BE ONLINE
This being said. Here are the positions and roles i will need to make this possible.Good Luck!
EVERYONE! NO MATTER WHAT ROLE! EVERYONE WILL BE CREDITED IN THE FILM!

That sounds very ambitious. If I can help, it would be my pleasure :-)

I can be a "physical actor", "camera operator" or "voice actor".

About the voice acting, if you are making a Napoleon mini serie, note that I'm french. So I can make a "real" french accent in english without having to fake it. I can speak with a proper british accent, so you can choose any level of "accent", from stereotypical french to barely frenchy.

Just let me know. My steam is Hely83 :-)
