Shadowrun Movie Short, Movie Short Options

[eralston]

It has been suggested to me (through the SR movie thread) that I should produce the Shadowrun movie myself in the form of webisodes. While I do love the idea, it took my a long time to develop what I had just for the trailer (available @ http://maxpayne2.levels4you.com/downloads....author=eralston )

I did learn a lot from the experience, meaning a series could be produced with less effort given my greater knowledge, but I still am coming up short on time (still have to go to college you know). Time or no, the idea is still too good to let go it entirely, so I have devised a plan.

To test whether a web-series would be enthralling or not, I will create, in Max Payne 2 unless I find a better engine (newer games would look nicer, but MP2 gets the job done and I already have everything together for it), a short movie (~5-10 minutes) of unadulterated Shadowrun.

I have begun pre-production (writing, art direction, feasibility, and risk) for this project. My progress will be reviewed (at least weekly) at my blog @ eralston.com

Anyone interested in offering help (or other moral support) can e-mail me @ erik.ralston@gmail.com

This is the proving ground for telling a Shadowrun story (not just showing a sequence of Shadowrunesque images) and people actually liking it. If you ever want to be a person who likes Shadowrun, or tries to convince someone else to like it, then see if you can't take part in making it a reality.
