PLEASE, any rep given for these films I ask be given to Yvgeniy, and any actors you enjoyed watching. None of this would be possible without them. Thank you very much.

Okay, here's what's currently going on. We're getting prepared to open our forums and hopefully soon after, our website. This will happen BEFORE the release of episode one. Currently issues are being handled with voice acting as far as the episode is concerned, and no further clarification is necessary at this point. All of those overlooking this section of my post will be redirected here for information. This is all I will say concerning this matter.

Also, soon enough this post will be severely shortened. I realise that some people take one look at this post and say "I'm not reading that". This information will soon be redirected to the SAK Studios forums, and there will be links provided to visit each section, to suit your personal interest in our series. This has not been possible in the past(and I'm not BLAMING Gunzfactor, it's just their rules) due to the fact that if I made several topics on this, it would be considered spam since our production is not directly related to the Gunzfactor website.

High Resolution can be put on full screen for best viewing (Unless your computer has a rediculously high resolution. It looks good on mine, and mine is 1280 x 1024)

Song in background is "The Dolphins Cry", by "Live".

Duration: 1 minute, 33 seconds.

File size:

High Res - 11,936 KB (12 MB)
Low Res - 6,303 KB (6 MB)

Dimensions:

High Res - 720 x 400
Low Res - 400 x 222

The entire series will feature voice acting, and will be featured in a wide screen format. We will spread out the few maps we have to choose from by using trick angles to make it seem like a bigger world than it actually is. In short, we can definately make this the right way. We will probably release the first three episodes together, so we may not see the end result for a good month from now. And that's why we are trying to begin as soon as possible.

Here's our cast:

Yuri is the main focus of the show. Yuri is a bit cocky at times, but knows when to hold his tongue. Yuri enjoys outsmarting Victor as often as he can, and uses that as a way to instigate him into contest at times. An outcast of the republic, Yuri seeks to find his own path in life. Yuri is proficient with all weaponry except for the rocket launcher. - Taken

Victor is Yuri's rival in a sense. After an awkward meeting with Yuri, Victor seeks to outdo him in every way possible. Victor is a weapons specialist, and as such he is an excellent marksman with all weapons, but has a difficult time understanding the concept of a sword. - Taken

Joanna is the leader of the rebel group, "Insurgi". Her job as leader is to organize the group's affairs, and make the final decision which will be most beneficial to their cause. She has been appointed as such for her good judgement and character. Her skills are not the strongest in the group, but she is the most well rounded fighter amongst the Insurgi. - Taken

Annah is a fighter, to say the least. She prefers to rush out into combat rather than stick to tactics and sneaking around. She enjoys a good fight, and the thrill of battle excites her. She often keeps a mental kill count, and strives to have the highest amongst her group, the Insurgi. Though ferocious in battle, she is not heartless. Her passion flows from deeply suppressed feelings about the war, and her past. She is proficient with the Rocket Launcher, SMG's, Rifle, and frag grenades. - Taken

Marco is a stealthy asset to the Insurgi. He tends to hang out from a good vantage point and pick off enemies using his sniper rifle. He too keeps a kill count, though he isn't quite as loud about it as Annah. Not much is known about Marco as of yet, except that he keeps to himself mostly, and does not talk much. Marco is proficient with a single pistol, dagger, smoke grenades, flash grenades, rifle, and sniper rifle. - Taken

Danny is the explosives expert of the Insurgi. You want it blown up, he knows how to do it. Danny enjoys his work, and he gets a real kick out of a big boom. Fortunately, he knows how to control himself in a fight. A kid at heart, Danny goofs off a lot, and loves to spend his time annoying Annah with lame pickup lines. Danny is proficient with all explosive devices, Rocket Launchers, Frag Grenades, and Heavy Rifle. - Taken


Extra parts:

We are currently all booked up for extras, so no further help will be necessary for now. We may again open our doors for extras and crew members, but for now we may have too many people to use as it is.

If interested, please put down all of your contact info, including your Character name, server played on, a list of any equipment you may already have fitting your character's description, level, and any additional information you may find appropriate.

Edit: Anyone participating in this project MUST download Teamspeak. This program allows us to communicate with microphones, and saves us much time, as we have much to do. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A MICROPHONE, download Teamspeak so that Yvgeniy and myself may easily direct.

Note: If you participate, and you have a microphone, that's fine. But when the Yvgeniy or I are speaking, you stop. We can not be bothered to try and quiet everyone down while filming. We just don't have that kind of time to be screwing around. We respect everyone participating, but only if those participating respect that we are dedicated to this project, and we are putting enough time into it as it is, without wasting precious time on idiocy. No matter how funny it is sometimes. xD

Filming Times: There are currently NO filming times scheduled for the Axium series. Updates on this will be noted by a new post by either Yvgeniy or myself.

We will be needing four guards and ten prisoners. Their description is listed above. The entire main cast will most likely be there, but we still need more. Basically, anybody who can make it.

The filming will take place in the room "Axium", located in Server 4, Clan Channel "Axium Crew", which will most likely be available only when filming is taking place. Currently our positions are filled for extras, so please do not come and ask us to get in, as we will probably have a sufficient amount of people for our purposes already.

Thank you

[m16killer]

dude my character looks exactly like danny my guys m16killer lvl 23,and i always love playin the explosives experts.so wut do ya say can i be danny?

[Paul]

I'd say you got yourself a deal! Welcome aboard.

[Yvgeniy]

Just wanted everybody to know that Annah has also been taken as of this post.

[m16killer]

wuh are you sayin you wanna be annah?because that post didnt make that much sense.

[Yvgeniy]

Right, sorry. I guess I didn't explain anything, haha. God_Himself and I are running this project. I'm just not very active on the forums. But for future refence you might either find God_Himself or me posting stuff about the series. Like I said in my previous post, the role of Annah has been taken.

[¼Noob]

Well,all the male characters have been taken so i guess i can be an extra.

Character name - ¼noob
Level - 24
Server i play on - Server 2

I also have all the equipment needed for both a prisoner and guard.

[DYE_Slayer]

you got all your actors already? if not please post your charater openings in a list. it will make the job easier for you and the community.

also, there are too many movie productions in progress at the same time. if you do not have all your actors yet, i suggest you wait for some weeks now for people to come take places.

want to be in a second movie? go here: Rogue Rebel: Revenge Is Sweet they need an extra crew, and anyone is able to help!

anyways, i signed up for 3 movies already. so good luck!

[Paul]

Thanks for the tip, slayer. We do have our whole cast now, as I've highlighted in green above(and the characters are in a list, it's just that their descriptions are there also. The status of their availability is highlighted in red or green... And all are red now). We have stated that we need extras however, and these characters aren't really important enough to list. We just need anybody who can fit the requirements posted above. Thank you again for your advice, but our project will not be put on hold. We can fish people out of games, we would just rather leave it open to volunteers who we know we can count on again at a later time.

Really? So far, the only people I've seen going with it this close is...you, and...me. And even then, I had to twist it so hard. o_o

Uh, as for your complaint about DYE_Slayer you sent me, he really isn't doing anything wrong. <_<;

[Kojiben]

This is my first time ever going to this topic and M16 whom is helping me with my movie told me you guys were doing voice acting, now I understand you all want to acheive the title of first gunz movie with voice acting but I had this idea since my first movie which did have some scenes with voice acting but I decided to leave them voice free because the voice actor left and hasn't been on forever.

I was hoping to make my next movie with voice acting but now I am not sure considered someone being a *** will say you stole that idea from Axium but it isn't true. So regardless whether I had this idea last which is not true or first, I am not stealing an idea because I am not doing it for a title just doing it for fun and I thought it will be nice to have voices so don't come to me saying I copied you because its not true and your movie is really cool, and I like the whole face portraits and all.

I hope it turns out good and if their is any free spots left I would be happy to help as long as it ain't some crappy gaurd cuz I am not gaurd material lol and might drop the voice acting in my movie for the heck of it, so cya.

[m16killer]

uh dude.......YOU WERENT SUPPOSED TO TELL EVERY1 ON THE WHOLE GOD DANG FORUM!!!!!and god himself srry man plz dont kick me out of the movie he said he would so i argued,srry man.

Oh, don't worry man we aren't like that. In fact, there are tons of machinimas out there with voice acting. It just so happens that there aren't any for GunZ. We're not necessarily trying to get big with just voice acting, but with our whole motion picture. We have a whole big storyline planned out that we will break down into many episodes, and we're experienced film makers. We're planning to use our skills to bring to you, GunZ fans, something that's never been brought before. No offense to people here, but most of the GunZ movies I've seen on here suck except a few. Anyway, so go ahead and do a movie with voice acting I have absolutely no problem with it (although I'm sure somebody will). Voice acting is a feature in a movie, not so much an idea of originality or anything.

Like we stated we will have more main roles in the future, but for now all we have is what you see on the front page. What we really need to film our first episode is lots of extras which include guards and prisoners. If you don't want to be a guard then you can be a prisoner. Either way is fine as long as you don't screw around during the filming and listen to what we say. You can sign up as an extra following the instructions on the main page.

Good luck with your movie!

m16killer correct me if I am wrong but it is on the front page that their is voice acting so I thought it wouldn't be a problem, if it was a suprise then sorry but I don't see how it could be if it is in the first post.

Thank you for seeing it the way I see it, and uh I don't think I will have voice acting cuz my voice sounds kinda funny but maybe I will. But what you just say it was exactly my thoughts on voice acting so thank you and uh I guess I will be a guard since prisoners are usually gay lol.

The thing with voice acting is you have to be a good actor in order to do it right, so if you think you'll just be reading your lines then you probably shouldn't do it because it won't sound good. You can get other people to do voice acting for you, perhaps somebody that has an acting background, etc. I'd recommend getting people you know in real life for this instead of searching on the forums or in the game.

Anyway, haha, well said about the prisoners. You hit the mark on that a little too well and perhaps you'll see what I mean by that later on. Anyway, here's the requirements to be a guard:

Guard: Must be a male. No gloves, Military Jacket, Military Trousers, Combat shoes. Must have a single pistol or assault rifle.

Please put down all of your contact info (best and quickest ways to get in touch with you), including your Character name, server played on, a list of any equipment you may already have fitting your character's description, level, and any additional information you may find appropriate.

Oh and m16killer, don't worry about it man. I was actually on the phone with God_Himself a few minutes ago and he said don't worry about it. It's not your fault. I would have told you that even if he wasn't on the phone with me.
