GTA 2:Endgame

I'll try to make my story more detailed together with the songs i had in mind. Maybe this week or next.

My PC is not very fast but it can handle heavy programs like 3d max, photoshop, windows movie maker etc.

and what about test movie what i send you guys

It was a good test movie, if we bundle our scripts together we can see what the proper order is for the parts. We will definately help each other out with the part if it does not get how you wanted it. In the End version I really would like to have an official leader/intro just like in a real movie, to set the phase and the character. It really would look pro!

yeah well say...
so 3 different parts of movie, now i show my short part:
As on movie, began with little admission - i am going on the map and i dont know what to do. Otherwise, i will say it, that i walk lost on the world and dont exactly know what do with me. I remember that i die - my lost game parts. After that clip i appear on map (last time) - entirely other than before. I am starting (as player who made game server) and going to weapons and other things (better, nicety and quciky). The ending cilp iswhen i am geting fast reload and get down.

Now about scene which u didnt see:
After clip which were descrip - is comming white ground and start my game. Before each war clips will name of action (for example trick or 'quick dead'). I would like to my part of movie had about 2minutes, becouse more actions are boring for spectator.
I will realy apply for very good clips!

any change for my idea or something new, If it is contradictory with yours idaes - tell me.

I like your style Bit, you want to create a sort of memento effect. Your gamecharacter who has gotten amnesia (memory loss) and left for death somewhere is reappearing again into the world and has some short flashes of his life before the accident. That is a great idea to put into the movie, it would be a character who will play a small part in one of our 3 movies and one big part in Bit's movie.

But I find it necessary that our characters also will be in your part, that they happen to meet each other somewhere.

Remember the host has always a green color when he is in the multiplayer game! So our cameo characters of Pete's movie or mine will have to take some part of the story with another color. So there will be a continous movie. Do you understand what I mean to explain to you?

And please don't say in huge letters quick death!
Your character has to say for example: And I will make your death QUICK!
Use full sentences, not short words!!
Try to do that, me and Pete will if we can help if the english grammar/spelling is wrong.

Story:
(Short text of the movie.)

Two dudes, can be Snoop Dogg and Dre, are standing in a gta2 map. The two dudes are smoking and the song "Deep Cover" starts to play. After some smoking the two dudes walk a little. (dont know if in MP gta2 you can walk). During the walk they rap but the cops are coming. The cops and the 2 dudes are in hot pursuit, maybe some 2fast2furious songs, also some running action with the song "100 miles and running" but they end up getting both busted. They both blame eachother and so the war starts. I want rocket-, molotov-, MG-, flamethrower- and fistfights. They both start fighting with fist but it slowly gets more intense and end up shooting big rockets and all the heavy stuff.
After some hard shooting action with good music (dont know song yet) they both end up in the water and laugh about it. So they start some rapping again and smoking. When the cops come again they both get the rocket and blast the cops up big time. END!

(this was short version, please read full (script) one below so you get the feeling.)

Script:
(how it should be recorded.)

Songs are download-able at bottom of text. If something is unclear, try to read some ahead maybe than it gets clear or just post the question here on forum. I haven't thought about how to fix the cloth color problem.

Every movie shot needs to be cut so the healthbar, guns and all dont show up. (I dont know if this looks silly but it makes the movie better, i think). The effect from going from one scene/shot to another wil not be done by strange effects like stars or cutting rolling screens. I want it to be or quick or with slow fainting effect. Atleast not a scene-change-effects-show-movie lol.

Starting with some street sound and looking around the city. I will take movie parts from city and cut out the person. (more about this 3th person later in text). A slow see-in for the movie. You see the city first before you see the players. How long this lead/see-in takes, I dont know. I was thinking about 3 or 4 shots from the city in action (driving cars, people walking and maybe some robbing or car stealing done by those read t-shirt or green t-shirt guys). One shot will take around 3 to 10 seconds. Dont know exact time, dont know how it feels, need to figure out.

Than you slow hear the 2 dudes talk (song "deep Cover") and the camera sees them smoking. Than they start walking (after the music part you hear... "I CAN FEEL IT") and the camera follows one of the players. (All players that are in the movie have no name that shows up.) Some rap is taking place during walking but than you see a cop car driving in other part of city (done by other player) and the rap music gets less volume and you hear a coptalk saying sumthing about gangwar whatever. The copcar put direct siren on and races to the 2 dudes. In the mean time you see the two dudes walking past XXX windows or sumthing from 3th view.(im thinking about using the third or second lvl single player map as scene). 3th view will be a third player filming the 2 dudes and be cut out himself. You nicely film with alt and arrow keys. Maybe the third player uses invisibility so he is easier to cut out.

The cops arrive (viewing from that player) and almost drive the 2 dudes flat. The 2 dudes run (ofcourse the camera is now following someone else) to a fast car and both enter. I dont know how we can film that (entering) but we will figure it out. Maybe making a movie from one entering (put the car still) and the other entering and cutting the correct enter part over the other. lol

Than the racing action starts. I got Adobe Audition and so can "mix", melt, fix two songs oneachother but maybe Awi can do better, i think. I would like to get the rap music getting less volume and some 2fast2furious songs (didnt see movie, lol, but must have good racing music) taking over. Or maybe use a copcar sirene as taking over sound of the two songs. So the rapsong gets volume less, copcar sirene takes slowly over and than the 2fast2furious song takes over from sirene. Looks cool to me.

The copcar is driven by a player and is following the fast car driven by an other player with no name. The fast car can be a "Michelen Roadster" or sumthing fast. Maybe there is a different gangster rap like fastcar. The action will be film-ed from the copcar, the fastcar and the 3th view player standing from corners following the action with alt key but himself be cut out. (maybe ill do those filming). The dude in the copcar will at some point also have cops after him but will just look like backup. Before that fake backup comes i want another shot from a driving copcar hearing the radio with coptalk about some problems when the volume of the racemusic is lowerd.

I want some tight corner racing style, jumping, bumping and cut-off action.
During the hotpursuit the policecar (driven by player) ends up on a car or in the water... dunno which one and so the (fake) backup car takes over and will simply be driven by a player again. I want the movie to be realistic so when the backup copcar has a bump (damage) this will also be seen when the player takes it over. Very Happy

In the end the fastcar is too bad damaged and the 2 dudes exit it. Than they will be followed by (computer cops) with the "100 miles and running" rapsong. Also the transfer from 2fast2furios songs to 100 miles and running song needs to be cool. Sumthing like they hit the car against the wall and the music also makes a small "shizzle" or scratch sound and the 100 miles and running music starts. I dont want to use full songs because they take like 5 min. Just start at a nice part in the song and fix it like it sounds nice for the whole scene its needed.

During the running-action the two dudes both jump over cars, hit police down with fist, get hits against the head from police. Lots of cool running action and tricks. Maybe some copcar also tried to drive them flat (driven by other player). They try to split up but a copcar blocks the road and so they both get busted (in a deathalley). During the getting busted a third player films this because else we get "busted" text in the screen. The music for the getting busted part is unclear for me. Maybe the 100 miles and running song just ends or we take out a funny part. I want a special soundeffect or music change when they get busted. Not just lower volume of running scene. Maybe Awi can put in his creativity here. lol. Keep in mind that the next scene will be about them getting out of jail and fighting. Maybe some trance music with a catchystart that fits in the getting busted part and the beat can carry on when they get out of jail and gets active/cool/nice during the first battle (read on about that).

Than we have a small problem, i dont know how we can film one or the two dudes getting out of a driving policecar (out of jail) with the same outfit as in the movie. But before we see that screen i first want some text with blackbackground in the sreen saying sumthing like "3 years later..." or "3 years have pasted". So there is "TIME" in the movie. lol

Than the real action scene's need to start. It starts with they both start knocking in eachother when they meet eachother. Some nice fist fight. From both players views and 3th view. the 3th view will be used when one of the two tries to run away but it doesnt take long or the other kills him with the cardoor-fist-trick. One of the two just needs to die, no other option. When someone dies it will be filmped from the person killing. There will be no "wasted" text in my movie. Will be alot of work but with a good filmingplan, who is doing what and when, it can be done. Same like making real movie, not all scene's need to be filmed in movie-order / movie-timeline.

After the fist fight the dude that died takes a MG and starts looking for the other dude that killed him. We than get some cool MG against pistol fight with also some tricks. After a long fight (a set-up fight of course) the MG guy kills him. Where the just killed guy on his turn takes the shotgun for refenge. Im thinking of using alot of weapons in the movie (maybe all) so we can demostrate the power and negatives of each weapon. Like the next upcoming shotgun scene, the shotgun is great but you can out jump it and need to be close. But if you just hit down your other player and shoot him with one shotgun shot - he is as dead as you can be.

At the end of having lots of different fightings with different guns and maybe different city's (or multiplayer lvl's) we get the rocket launcher. I'm thinking of having this action taking place in a corner and set up a funny end where they both shoot eachother in the air on the water. The music for the battles havent been found yet. It can be some rock or trance. Or both mixed between the different weapons used. Like trance at start and rock when we seen the big stuff like rockets. (maybe this song as rock: Underworld II Soundtrack (Evolution) - Puscifer - The Undertaker (Renholder Mix), thought its a bit slow in beat...)

The ending scene is coming.... can i have some drums... LOL. anyway...
I must look for a rap song with some laughing in it and snoopdog and dre (im thinking of Snoop Dogg - Gin and Juice) and you see the 2 dudes smoking again. Maybe just after the endkill with rocket but for the smoking part you see a blackscreen with text saying; "things have been fixed" or "real friends last for ever" sumthing whatever like that. and during that time you slowly hear the laughing from the gin and juice song starting and we swith over to the two dudes smoking again. They both start walking again, same part from starting in movie but the third view will be done from the other side. Now we see the cops driving slowly past and sound sirene for one time (you know, when they want people to pull over). Oh no... trouble.. LOL. but no, thats not the case. We get a small sentence from the song "N.W.A Ft Ice Cube Easy E Dr Dre - Fuck The Police" where you of course hear them say "fuck the police" and at that same time its KABOEM. the 2 dudes blow up the cop car, maybe during the exit of the cops. and we hear the word police in the sentence "fuck the police" in an ego (you know, when it is repeated and slowly gets less volume) and we see black screen. the end. although maybe no words like "the end", or sumthing like "they smoked long happy after..." lol

Sorry for bad english, it's written fast.

I really like this original soundtrack.
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (ost)
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
How are the Fast and the Furious 1 and 2 OST?
Cuban. Please leave some room for a character of the part of mine or/and Bit! We will edit them in, sort of Sin City idea you know?
I will respond to the rest in this weekend!

Ps. Carthief wants to join the crew.

Cuban u have really good idea but i dont prefer hip-hop and to make one of the best movie we need really great music, fast or slow but mild (not hio-hop) i am sure that 'Rob D - Clubbed2Death' and 'Tokyo Drift (Fast & Furious)' will be very good, but i want to stay at 'Rob D - Clubbed2Death'. What are u thinging about this AWI?

Carthief wanna join? Hm, Awi u are main organizer (i think) well u decide

I have to listen to the tracks first, Cubans part of the movie will give the audience some urban ghetto feeling, and our parts will reflect another ambience. It will not ruin the whole movie if we put some ghettotracks under a ghetto story. Our (me and Bit) stories are different, and so we use our own set of songs. If we use a remixed version for example, the rap with the boosted beats will sound lovely.

I'm not a big fan of hip hip or that stuff but some songs have a good beat and for the movie i like to use the funny text they say in the hip hop songs. So it will mostly be short parts out of hip hop songs. Not a whole hip hop song.

I gave the whole hip hop songs so Awi can cut the text out and you guys can listen. For the rest of the movie I would like nice 2fast2furious song and trance or rock.

Don't be afraid, I dont want and it will not be a gangsta hip hop movie!

ha ha gangsta gta2 movie Wink

I once found a way to hide things (statistics, respect, ect, deaths) from screen, its some option in the GTA2 powermanager, just forgot witch one. Razz

And gonna work on the maps, what awi wanted. Razz

If that wont work in time, it is possible to edit the normal levels, or plain make a different script for them.

Makes me wonder, would it not lagg alot when recording? (My PC is crap. Razz

)

And if i got more time, maybe there's some role for me, not sure if i want that 100% trough. Razz

EDIT: I believe walking is not normally possible, for players. Unless there controlled by script(Weird test... Hehe.) Another way would be make the player hit by electro baton, but the electricity effect wont make it look normal. Razz

Might be handy for some scenes trough.

I used to mix songs with Acoustica, there latest addition Mixcraft 3 is worth a try for mixing.

The free plug-in below makes work sometimes easier.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

All in all I do not have good experience with extracting whole vocals without the background noice of the beats. It is very hard to do, but I will give it a try with the plug-in and a professional program.

I will use the latest fraps release for recording.
[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

And finally I found a good converter named: AVS Video Converter 5.1
When recording with Fraps, we have an uncompressed avi file. You can easily convert it to swf (flash file). Roughly you can compress a 100 MB AVI file (ca. 3.6 minutes) into a 30 MB SWF of 50% quality. This proces will not require a lot of CPU power.

Always record/convert turning the sound option off!

By the way, should I leave these links in this post on the forum or do I have to PM them the next time?

Ps. DON_KESP has joined the project.

Tip: Recording with fraps works better if the resolution is changed to 800*600!

I am gonna write the modifications of the script of Cuban tomorrow.

I could use some info about how the maps should be, i cant even start with the little info Razz

And what is a... "loods"? Forgot whatever it was. Razz

I need also some info about the style of the city, and such.
And if a map takes alot of time, i could edit a existing map if needed. Razz

I'll need plenty info. A way of contact like MSN is also usefull, just in case i have a question. Razz

(And did you see my responde on the PM?)
