EVENT: Canceled.

[Silence]

Event canceled.
Sorry guys, just can't put this together this month... way too short a time frame for the logistical end.

[Sodak]

Sick man. I may have some gear to lend. But i wont be able to act unfortunately.

Wait...they got rid of the g36? damn.

Silence, you've got some work cut out for you if they waited until now to come to you. Good luck.

We've been talking about it for a while and on the filmmaking end I've been doing a lot of pre-production planning. It's just now to the point where I'm talking about it locally and actually taking the action to get the ball rolling. There's been a LOT of background planning and logistics going on for several months.

The only thing is that it wasn't intended for pre-release promotion. That's a risk Activision wasn't willing to explore for their most important release of the year. I'll be posting updated details as we finalize the schedule in the coming week. At the moment I'm taking initiative to find out what kind of resources can be brought to the table through volunteers... I like airsofting and simply thought it would be a win-win situation. We all have a fun time, and a great event, in cool settings, and I get to make a kick a$$ film.. and if it's good enough to be used then we've all got to have been a part of it.. watching yourself on TV or seeing the short film littered all over the internet with millions of views.... bragging rights for airsoft in the Pacific North West?

At least I'm being given the freedom to do this my way, where I want and with who I want... there's not a ridiculous budget and they're taking it as a target of opportunity. If I make this and it turns out awesome, they'll use it - if it turns out sucky, they won't - either way it's a fun chance and one hell of an adventure!

The final short film, which will essentially be a commercial for the videogame, will be used to promote the videogame online, on Xbox Live, through the various gaming community websites, and potentially on TV... if there ends up being some sort of monetary payout in the end, a majority of it will be donated either to local airsoft venues or a charity. However, it's more likely that -maybe- they'll give us free copies of the game and cool stuff or maybe an Xbox or two.

But that all depends ENTIRELY on how good it is when it's done. Which, takes teamwork.

Updated first post with details on what the short film will primarily be focused on re-creating from the game.

So I don't personally own a replica, would I still be able to participate?

When do you plan on filming?

Where exactly do you plan on filming?

What kind of equipment would be required to be in the film?

[Bigfoot]

The real question lies here. 24PA or 30P?

[Aeacus]

Interested, I will have to borrow a few things to get an appropriate loadout though.

Send me a PM.

Good luck. Can't wait to see it in completion.

Is it possible to move it to christmas break. More people are availabe including myself and there's more snow. Also, do you need a snowmobile, i may be able to get one.

I call air-soft guns "replicas", since they are built to resemble their real-life counterpart. If you don't own an air-soft gun, that's fine. There's a couple people in the film who get taken out while they're just sitting around.

When - Will be announced shortly. Right now I'm pushing for November 27-29. Waiting to hear back from IW about a couple of things before we actually go to principle photography - but as of right now this is 90% sure, date wise. The second this sets in stone, I'll be posting all of the details of everything.

Where - For the "Cliffhanger" short, we'll be going up into the snow of Mt. Rainier. Other scenes will be shot elsewhere but my primary focus is filming the "Cliffhanger" mission. From the way it's going right now, this may turn into a series of shorts based on the missions from the game. This whole short film is intended to be a test run with IW to see what comes of it - I'm sure if they like it and the MW2 community likes it, there will be more to do.

Equipment - Honestly, the more the merrier. You can see from the images in the first post what the Op-For are supposed to look like - I'm looking for any volunteer donations either borrowed or brought.

The problem with moving it back is that there's a small window of opportunity for this to be an effective marketing tool for Infinity Ward. It would be most appealing to Activision and Infinity Ward to have something like this available for their marketing plans ahead of Christmas, since that's when the largest boost in their sales will happen. So I'm trying to get this done in time for them to use it before Christmas. Likewise, the sooner it gets done and the more successful it is with the MW2 community, the more likely it will be that we get to do more of them, on a much larger scale.

Although I wouldn't be opposed to organizing a fun snow-game without the film shooting during Christmas break... just for air-soft sake.

[Sodak]

still interested in the snow mobile? if so, ill see what i can do.
