Crazy? Yes. Impossible? No.
I've noticed that the deadline for the Atomfilms contest is the 24th of June, and I think that NZ should represent. I have an idea, a very simple and achievable one, and I would like to see who may be interested in helping me make it a reality.
The Story is a simple one. A Rebel Trooper and a Stormtrooper are trapped together in a collapsed building, and are forced to talk to each other as human beings rather than shoot at each other across a battlefield. Tension rises as they wait to see if they will be rescued, and if so, which side will rescue them?
Oota Goota is onboard with his paintball suits which will be great to show Stormtroopers falling down and dying like they usually don't in Fanfilms. However, I have a few requirements, some of which I can provide myself if nothing better comes along, some of which I don't have at all:
1: A hero suit of battle worn armour - not to be fallen down in, just used for dialogue and closeups
2: 2 x trooper rifles, or at least one really good rifle and a rebel blaster (Han Solo style or similar)
I have an old Kenner trooper rifle to use, and I can probably kit bash a second for wideshots, but obviously the
anything better is better.
3: Any 'Rebel commando' type costumes that people wouldn't mind getting dirty. (This is not so crucial, I can probably throw something together myself for these)
4: Ideas for a 'battle torn urban landscape' in Auckland (since Southdown burnt down and is no longer available.)
5: Ideas for an interior 'Collapsed Building' set....only needs to be the size of a small garage or room. Either an actual ruined building, or something that can be easily dressed.
Shooting would be on the 19th - 20th of this month, so time is of the essence
Thanks for reading

Sounds cool. Unfortunately I don't think I have anything that would help, but hopefully it comes together for you.

Agree that this sounds like a great idea. Would help out as much as possible, but the timing is really bad for me at the moment. Have sent a PM with some ideas.

These are photos from the Corban's Art estate in Henderson. My old theatre and workshop haunting ground There is a heck of a lot of concrete in the car park, the tops of round concrete vats to the West of the carpark and to the east, closer to the workshop buildings are these furnaces that have been stripped to their concrete skeletons:
These could be easily dressed but you will probably have to inquire at the office for permission.

That's a good idea...I have a friend who's got a little storeroom there too, could work out nicely.
Will check it out, thanks

Re: Attempting to make a Fanfilm from scratch before July.
Ok, after a bit of script revision, all I need now is one good Stormtrooper helmet (Shiny or battle worn, doesn't matter which).
Can anyone help me with this for next Sunday (20th)?
