No-Budget Pirate Movie
Thats what im working on right now, and before you say i'm a moron, i know what im doing, i have an authentic Pirate Long boat, like the row boat they all have on the ships... its painted, so i'll need to sand it off, i have 2 motorboats to film the Sea Sequence, i have a deserted island i'm allowed to shoot on, and have cookout's on after each day of shooting...
I have some costume pieces, ill be getting the rest when i get a script.
The story follows two pirates stuck on the long boat just after the big pirate ship went down. It has humor but also action and Drama, its in the same genre as POTC, but maybe a little more serious... they find land and stuff happens, im working out a script as we speak... But i will want help with some things.
If anyone wants to help right a script, you've always wanted to make a pirate script. Here's Your Chance.
CGI, i maybe wanted to see the big ship sinking, which i know alot of you could do on here, you guys are wicked talented...
but most of all you support ill need, this would be kinda big, medium crew, two-three actors. I could possibly get the food donated and everyone would work for free
So this is what i want to do

My group just downloaded an 1800's era brig for use in a Battle of Lake Erie 1812 CGI scene.
If you can use it I can help
I've also got some muskets going off with the sky as a blue background, ifs you want.

yeah, just for those who don't know me and DEDFX, he thought at first it wasn't going to happen...
Kene, those ships look beautiful, to shoot the CGI, ill lock down a camera on the beach for you, not much tracking would have to occur, the reason behind this is pretty much because i can't stand 3d water, yet, but that would be awesome if you could help
Kult FIlms, if you want to write anything down, music or script wise, that would be awesome, if you have any more questions about my idea of the story, feel free to email me...
reduxen@gmail.com
Smokey, that would also be awesome if you could help with some of the SFX work.. i may need some muzzle flashes for muskets, and since i don't have an firing ones, i would love your help with SFXing them
anyone can email me, ill check it often, cause i have nothing else to do besides write a script...

oh and kene, a couple of your pics, my dad pointed out, the ship is way to low in the water

yeah, originally, I wanted them higher, but my historical documentary adviser said not to.oh and kene, a couple of your pics, my dad pointed out, the ship is way to low in the water
The ship is based off of the US brig Niagara in our film, and she was a very low riding ship.
So accurate for ours, but for yours you probably will want it higher up.
So when you get your shot done, see if you can upload a full quality copy and I'll get on that.
Will you just want the ship sinking, or is it smoking as well? That will take longer.
I'd prefer to do it with the sails furled, b/c I can't animate the sails collapsing as it sinks.
But its up to you my friend.

that ship is riding low, and if someone told you it was right, they were wrong... but whatever...kene555 wrote:
it reality the movie opens as the last 5-10 feet of the ship go under... so not much to deal with. It wasn't in a battle it just started sinking (you know how they are) maybe it hit a reef, maybe the gunpowder blew a hole in it... once i get a shot out and an idea of what happened
(remember i just started writing all these ideas of mine 2 days ago)
ill tell you...
thanks kene

Ok, truce agreed. lol
using bryce 6.0 for the animation and the models came from www.daz3d.com which is the creator of bryce
here's how the ship is supposed to ride in the water

the hull? i know my ship parts.. i was practically born on the ocean... if you misunderstood, or i mis wrote, i mean the entire body of the ship, all the wood, give it a darkish brown/black unsanded look
and for lack of a picture, this is the small boat i have... about 10 feet?
the one in the foreground

didn't mean to insult or anything like that, just trying to get it all clear - I'd rather not spend time modifying the ship's colors beyond what you want - It'd be a waste of my time and yours.the hull? i know my ship parts.. i was practically born on the ocean... if you misunderstood, or i mis wrote, i mean the entire body of the ship, all the wood, give it a darkish brown/black unsanded look

sorry, no worries... ok i like the second texture the most, maybe have the lighter brown in the texture be darker...
and could you do a high res render? i mean maybe with some blur, because these ships look ultrareal, bryce does that but if you could give the image a blur, that'd be great...
and thanks for all your help kene555
