A while ago, someone mentioned putting some fan movies together for Shadowrun. I suggested a radio play as a cheaper alternative. I've been toying around with the idea (got a plot outline in my head, along with a few scenes of dialog), but never got very far because of a few major problems. Namely, casting, recording, and distribution.
For casting, I'd love to draw on fellow Dumpshockers, rather than get my college age sister-in-law to go drafting acting students. Frankly, I wouldn't rely on anyone other than you crazy fraggers to take the material seriously. Given the geographically diverse nature of the Dumpshock, recording dialog would seem to pose a problem. Recently, I've heard of Skype-casting. Basically, it's a voice-over-IP (VoiP) conference call, but the sound quality is better than standard phonelines. It's also free. We could distribute the script to all the actors, agree to meet at a set time, then do some dry reads while recording the whole mess. Someone would then have to edit the whole mess (isolating good clips, splicing in sound effects and adding music). With the advent of BitTorrent and Podcasting, distribution is a no-brainer. Once the shows are written, recorded and mixed, an RSS feed can point fans to a download site, be it Dumpshock or a BitTorrent tracker. Even if there's no interest in a radio play, what about just a straight "this week on the forums" podcast every weekend? Basically recap some of the more interesting threads, discuss the latest info regarding SR4, maybe talk about real-world tech news and how it would translate into SR, do Skype interviews with various board members, etc. Anyone interested? |
