DayZ Video Project, helpers wanted!

[Hayez 18]

So, my plan is to make a DayZ mini movie following a fresh survivor and his journey. This will be a long project and I'm willing to put effort into it, but to make this I will need a few people to act.

There will be no voice acting, only pictures and music. I will be recording and editing the movie, If you have experience with video editing and filming as such your help would be much appreciated. When recording I dont wan't to be mess around, the project need's to be co-ordinated and organised, If you see this and just think "ooh i fancy doing something like that to kill some time" then please dont bother, i need people who will be dedicated to the project and willing. I know about the use of good camera angling and cinematics.

Here is a link to my youtube, i know my edits aren't the best but that was quite a while ago.

Please add my skype if you are Interested - Hazeyybpeu

Hello man, I wouldn't mind joining your acting crew :)

[Hayez 18]

You will need "mission editors " to setup shots and stuff.

Or did you think of holding a handcam InGame ? in the real game i mean.

You beter edit the shots and scenes.

I do not have the time, but i like your idea.

[Hayez 18]

Allie, I will be editing the shots, but I could use some assistance with the recording of the shots, as i am not familiar with recording on DayZ.

[Allie (DayZ) 97]

Your the editor i got the picture, but i mean you need to go into the Arma game editor and setup the scene where you want to go and film.

Setup the scene with objects you need like a car or character. These objects and characters can be manipulated in the editor to set everything needed right.

Then the director takes stages and delegate the actors aroung in the scene, the cameraman starts recording accordingly. All the shots will be handed over to you and you start editing the movie :)

Or are you planing to use oll authentic ingame footage ?

I think this would be the best solution but I'm not sure how the DayZ scene editor works and would need someone with experience with how to use it.

If you go into the editor of Arma, with the days mod active, and i do NOT mean the editor in the main menu.

The editor is hidden behind the NEW button on the multiplayer server selection screen, the button all the way to the left.

With this editor you can really quickly put scenes together which after editing can be Live multiplayer enabled Previewed.

If dayz active, you are not able to place all Arma objects, but you are able to place all Dayz objects and stuff.

I direct you to this website if you want to experiment yourself a little : http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Missions

[Allie (DayZ) 97]

MAybe not the best site to start tho, let me find some easy

[Hayez 18]

@Allie, could you spend some time with me explaining how to use it so that I can manage it myself, or would you like to join the project and help set up scene's?

If you have the "cartoon", the movie in pictures in your head, please try and go and fool around in the editor, THE MULTIPLAYER EDITOR !

You will see that you have a lot of control.

I hope you can find your director, camera man, mission/script editor, your actors and everything else you need to get some cool movie project off the ground.

[Hayez 18]

Thankyou very much! Shame you couldn't join the project.

[Hayez 18]

I have so many ideas but I need a partner with editing knowledge and abilities on how to make a mini movie to help me with this! PLEASE post if you feel you can help the project!!
