The ATK film brain storming thread.

I take it I am resuming control of music as usual.

[Bloo]

Err, well music wise, I suggest we just use film/game music because:

a) It's better and b) Because it's easier to agree on which track to pick.

[Hutch]

Also, we dont want a film dominated by BB, Cobra Starship, FallOutBoy or P!ATD.
I've got the Kill Bill soundtrack which is awesome for fightscenes and flashbacks. Also got a high quality version of the entire Orange Box soundtrack, not something crappily ripped from the game.

How did I know that was coming... don't be selfish Oric, we already know you like BB.

We will use some game music, I know some pieces that will work well. In terms of normal music, we should use songs that are relevant to what's happening, rather than just filling it with song genres we like as per usual or heavy metal just because the viewers will want to hear it.

My suggestion is that the opening title theme is the COD4 one after the Cargoship mission buut, it cuts out halfway through and Concrete Donkey lands on the title. Yes, I'm trying to make as many donkey referances as possible.

[Darkeagle]

I like the concrete donkey idea actually i think we should use that

[Chalex4]

Great ideas so far guys. I agree with Chazlene that we should use relevant music for the situation, but I definitely think that using film/game music would be a much better idea than normal CD tracks (i.e. BB).

Guys you're doing this all wrong

It needs to be serious. I can imagine it now:

We start off with a scene of a guy under heavy fire hiding behind an obstacle (ie a spy getting shot at by a few heavies and soldiers). He pulls out his secret watch and escapes off.

Then we cut to a scene of two people making out. I suggest we use Oric and Hutch to voice act them.

Meanwhile we can see our spy as a faint outline creeping away from the heavy fire. We resume with a flashback to his youth, when he saw his entire family brutally murdered by fat russians with chainguns.

We then cut back to the make-out couple. Let's get some proper smooching noises as well.

We see the spy creep around the squad that were shooting at him. We see him pick a disguise and decloak. Cut to a scene of him in a helicopter jumping out to infiltrate enemy lines (hydro would be a good map). One of the helicopter pilots has a Mexican accent.

Cut bake to the make-out couple.

We then see the protaganist creep up to the baddies, and just as he is about to backstab them all, the guys making out stop and shoot him.

Brilliant idea isn't it?

Spawn, you have a long and sucessful career in the indie film industry ahead of you

[spawnofebil]

WAIT WAIT WAIT. I HAVE BEEN STRUCK BY A BOLT OF GENIUS.

We need to do a cop thriller. A tough, grizzled black cop (Chaz fits the bill perfectly) gets teamed with a new cop who's fresh out of training.

You can guess the rest.

[Isphera]

How did I know that was coming... don't be selfish Oric, we already know you like BB.

Where did I say BB would be used? Last I checked, only Half a BB song was used in a ATK/C2G/BRS video.

[Chazlene]

That's not the point, just don't go and say only you are choosing music - you just want to do it to show off and it's unfair on everyone else.

[Darkeagle]

Lol i like idea with new cop And such would be a great one to do Should we have a vote?

[Bloo]

Source needs better car handling if we're doing a buddy cop film! (Since.. all buddy cop films involve a car chase... all good ones...)

[Isphera]

That's not the point, just don't go and say only you are choosing music - you just want to do it to show off and it's unfair on everyone else.

No, It's because since BRS, I have always done the music choices.
