Done. I'll see if I can get FanPro to sponsor it, and if not I'll sponsor it myself. Prizes and details to be announced in the future. Films will need to be ready by.. June/July, I suspect.

Arrgh! You know how hard it is to glue black shag-pile on to yourself?
Well, this means no "Night One" character. :) L: PS: Thanks Adam - This may prove a lot more interesting than you think. |

I hope so. I've been trying to think of ways to jumpstart the Shadowrun fan-base, and this certainly seems like one of them. . .

What OS do you use? A utility like WinRar [for Windows] will extract it. There are other utilities to handle RAR files for every other modern OS.

WinRAR runs for 30 or so days as a demo. http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar33b5.exe for the latest version. |

Um...Plastic vampire teeth inserted upside-down? (It could work.)
I think the second link is to a Windows Media File version (Windows Media Player will run it). That's the one I downloaded anyway. |

All of the mirror site downloads lead directly to the .wmv files. No .rar needed. |

There's also machinima - movies made using PC games like Unreal Tournament, Anachronox, and Quake III. Several PC games come with tools to create 3D maps, alter model appearances, and scripting events.
And for the Neverwinter Nights fans interested in making a Shadowrun NWN movie, might I suggest the D20 Modern mod at http://d20.gravemistakes.com/? |

Did some talking to both the German and English FanPro peoples, and there will an announcement coming. Such an early deadline was incredibly uninformed thinking on my part, though, so ignore that. |

That is really cool.
I would like to say good job to the creators of those movies, I liked them a lot. I to would have changed somethings, but I am starting to find out how hard it is to make a movie. Me and few friends have begain the preliminary work on a movie of our own, and with no budget it is hard to do. Depending on the info Fanpro puts out I might be able to talk to my friends into putting it out there, we were going to do it as a time passer. Maybe we can have ours ready in time for Fanpro. |

Well, we've worked out a teaser trailer that should be ready in a couple of months. Then we'll work on a full trailer that may be done by the end of summer. All the while we will be trying to recruit people (good way to increase fan base) to help us with the full project (We need voice actors damn it! Me and my friends sound awful).
This project does bring up a bit of a question. The story deviates a bit from canon, is that okay? |

I got to watch your movie and I have to say, really good stuff here. My friends and I do the same thing, not SR but no budget short films. I can make a couple of suggesstions, lighting, lighting, lighting, and more lighting. Lots of indirect light. Movie dark is a well lit room. If your room is dark to the eye, it is going to be all but unwatchable on screen. I loved the sound effects, they are completely awesome. Very good job, editing was the other thing that was great, so was your camera control. All of it very pro. I would like to encourage you to submit to film festivals, I think you will find that you are received very well. |

I have no means of creating an SR movie of my own, but I sure look forward to what everyone else is going to do..

Shadow, I think you've got me confused with someone else. We haven't made our movie yet. The one I'm working on is entirely CG, and I just got done with the trailer scripts. Working title is Shadowrun:Blood & Family. I would appreciate peoples take on whether or not it's okay to be removed from canon. Since the story is a rework of "Mob War", basically a simplification. It revolves around a single team, doesn't deal with any of the effects of the assasination (which is simplified as well) outside of pissing some people off and causing a power vacuum at the top of the Mafia food chain. |

I think pretty much everyones games go off canon a little so in a film I don't think it will matter much. As long as the major plot points are still the same. like Knight owns Ares and such. I fht enames of the people are differrent or you change some stuff around I don't think non-SR players will have a clue, adn only the really in depth players might notice. If you movie is good most people will talk about the differerences but will probably still enjoy the movie no matter what.

Yeah, I got to thinking that if film makers worried about canon LOTR would never have happened.

Also thinking about what your movies are about most canon issues may never arise. Like those german films that started this thread. They never really touched the over meta-plot of SR. they used the action part of the game, and really you can't tell what they had cyberware wise or magic wise just by looking at the characters, so really unless they hand out character sheet based on those characters then we'll just have to debate what the characters had never really knowing how or where they got it. Even though you will be making a movie about SR I hope it is not a 90 minute documentary on the fine points of the game system so really it shouldn't be a problem.
Then again if your story is based around the over all meta-plot of the SR universe then I woudl try to stay as to close to the canon story as possible. Just try to stay true to the main points like I siad before, Knight owns Ares and so on. The story depends on your audience, are you trying to impress us the SR community? Then you must know a lot of us will like something cool and true, while some of us will lean more to one side of that divide then others some will want more "cool" compared to some that will want more "true." If you are aiming more to attract new players which maybe Fanpros goal if they do something, then I would think more "cool" is the route, trying to show all the "cool" stuff off SR like magic, obvious cyber arms, trolls, drone, and the Matrix, stuff that makes SR what it is. Not trying to tell you what to do with your movies, this is just some of the stuff our Film group has been running over. |

*sigh* I would make my own Shadowrun film if I knew how to operate the CG-render program I have here. -_- Ah well. But yes. Illusions was great. :D Keep up the good work, yo!
