DVXuser.com Feature movie??

Count me in! I'm game for this idea. :)

I'm sure i can figure out how to push a button for a fog machine or perhaps hold a boom pole and turns some knobs to the right level.

go team!

Oh I know its a long shot, since I've only been here about a year now, haven't seen anyone talk about it. I merely threw up the question to see what kind of response I'd get. Like most people, if it does happen I'm so there. And if it doesn't, we can still get together in small groups for festivals.

ps i think the part that worries me the most, is the whole "ownership" if'ing it did get "picked up" contracts, all that legal mombo that I tend to let other people read and then tell me where to sign type stuff....anyhoos
 
I think the biggest thing with a project like this is ole' saying.. "Too many cooks in the Kitchen".. Then, the final say so comes down to who gets to be the iron chef.

I agree but why can't we just have 4 chefs/Directors each controlling their own piece that was decided on by all before shooting.
i.e. Based on the script.

If it actually takes off then everyone involved gets the same percentage.

I would just like to see the community come together to make something like this.
15 or 20 minutes each really isn't that much.

so does this mean a director is elected from each location? or appointed? nominated....etc...

I think it should be based on interest and a willingness to commit to the project.

In order to see this succeed you have to hand over the reigns to someone. We can't just throw it out there and expect it to happen. This is why I think splitting the story up into 4 or more parts may help this become a reality.

If there are a couple of interested Directors in the same area I'm sure that they could share the chair. If they can't agree with that... we'll have to come up with something.

First thing's first. Agree on a synopsis and then get a good script together. :)

yeah prolly should have a story to tell before we rally the troops.

Any Writers? theme? And where should I move this (or mods wanna do it for me)
 
I would eventually start a new thread in the user films area.
Maybe run a poll discussing a possible theme. Come up with some theme ideas here and then start a poll over there with multiple choices.

I vote for a movie based on the End of the World.
The script would have to keep budget in mind. It would be cool to see people from different areas of the world reacting to a doomed fate.

Any other themes/ideas?
 
I think it would piss alot of people off, if the film was restricted to 4 America groups only. There's alot of European, Asian, African, Australian etc members on this board who would probably be really interested.

So yeah an End of the World type film would be better for them if that came to that, because It would give a better sense of reality - showing various points and landmarks from around the world where everyone could get involved with.

Not forgetting the fact i think people would get pissed off if there idea, script, music, etc was rejected for consideration. But that's how filmmaking is anyway, that's how life is full stop.

Just my 2 cents, & i dont even want to get involved with it.
 
Sounds interesting...I think several of you are on the right track.

- Story first! If the story is not intriguing/unique etc. then it will be hard to get people excited/involved. I think the "End of the world as seen from multiple locations..." idea has some promise...
- Find a director (or two) in each location who are willing to get involved and whose work has been proven to be of a certain quality. (I think the only way to get talented people to spend time on this is if they know the other elements of the film will be quality as well)
- Each location is responsible for finding funding/locations/cast/crew etc. as well as the legal aspect (points/pay etc.).

I never said it had to be American. I'm Canadian btw. :D

I would love to see different cultures responding to a common disaster.
As for people getting rejected, that's life. I am not one of the best filmmakers on this board. My chances would be slim to begin with but I would love to contribute in any fashion that would be welcomed.

Cheers,

Mike
 
What I want to see is a DVXuser.com movie as in ABOUT the forum... not a docu but a drama-comedy about say, one of the admins and one of the users who don't know they talk to each other all the time and end up working together for Spielberg... but they HATE each other because they are the best in the crew and they know that Spielberg is looking for a new guy for Dreamworks. Eventually they end up finding out just as Spielberg tells then that he will not pick then cause he found someone else, Barry Green! heheh
 
I say we make "Jared" do the whole thing and call it, "A DVXUser Film" :)

ooh, that's right, he's probably off and hanging out in the "REDuser Land"

Really? You could judge my ability based on my previous shorts located in my Signature. :happy:
 
Wow, lots of positive feed back since last night! I think 4 or 5 cities would be best. As far as licensing goes and who gets what in the end, which has been brought up, I think that before we begin all those involved should sign something just saying that the proceeds go to some kind of charity so we don't quibble over all that.

I think we need to flesh out a story first- get a team of a few writers to put together a script of sorts then come back to the forums and get things rolling.
 
just for the record...i'm the guy that just had the idea...anyone wanna take charge on this (ala someone with more experience) please do so, I'll assist if wanted. And would of course be involved.

ps. I think the charity thing is the way to go therefore no one gets upset over the percentage they deserve. I don't know maybe I should have kept dreaming. lol but if it can happen count me in! I just don't want to be the man in charge...
