Division Television

Introduction

There are a lot of great clan-trailers and machinima out there. From popular movies like Mine 1 & 2 to lesser know machinima's it's all out there. And FH2 is missing out on the buzz. This is where Division Television steps in.

Division Television is an initiative of two Dutch clan members from the 130th Panzer Lehr Division. Division Television is here to create entertaining machinima focussing on the Forgotten Hope 2 mod.

Contents:

Plans & Goals

Our current plan is to start exstensive work on a clan trailer for the 130th Panzer Lehr Division and start work on writing a script and producing our first full feature machinima. All with a unique story, you as an actor, specially tailored sounds to make the movies more realistic, and possibly even our very own motion picture soundtrack.

The eventual goal is of course to have fun, as well as maintain a high level of professionalism. We will put DTV on the map as a competent movie/machinima maker, and while we are working and having fun, promote FH2 along the way.

What We're Looking For

Dedicated and motivated actors. People who will be able to fully dive into the scripts we provide and maintain a disciplined professional approach throughout the filming. We have had our share of people without any of the afore mentioned traits, and well, suffice it to say that that doesn't work when you're making a movie.

So do you think you have it in you, and do you know why? Scroll down to the "How to Sign Up" part.

Also if you think you are an exceptionally good script writer, you're of course also welcome to sign up.

How To Sign Up

Signing up is super easy. Just fill out the form below and send it to DivisionTelevision@gmail.com

Ingame Name:
Age:
Role (Actor/Scripter):
Motivation (Why do you think you can help us?):

It's really that easy just fill out that small form, send it in an e-mail to us, and we'll be sure to reply! Don't worry that you won't come through "the selection" we're just looking for fun and dedicated people and trying to filter out the idiots in the process. So be sure to sign up!

Also, keep a look out on our Youtube Channel for our first movie to appear: http://www.youtube.com/user/DivisionTelevision (http://www.youtube.com/user/DivisionTelevision)

If you have any questions feel free to ask them!

Also, these are some movies I have made so far. These are movies DTV has made before, and the 130th Promotion Movie has already been featured on the FH2 main page scoring almost 10,000 views (this tournament movie was hosted on fellow clan member Von Mudra's account).

I used to be in a bunch of "sPro`" stunt videos for bf1942/is82 so I have some experience when it comes to things like this.

However I would probably need to see a script or get the jist of what's being filmed first.
Title: Re: Division Television; Become A Forgotten H-ollywood Star!
Post by: [130.Pz]F.König on 18-04-2009, 03:04:41
Lupin,

We aim at putting scripts out to all involved first. So everyone knows exactly what to do.

Of course things can always change during the actual filming process. But prepared filming is better than on the fly filming.

So don't worry about that. If you're still interested send us an e-mail with the sign up info!

This is going well! Allright, we now need to start working on a script for small machinima. Just a try-out really to get to know eachother and how we "act" and then put our first film together!

Hi Konig, I'm checking this thread for updates, - there's nothing yet on the DTv forum so if there is somewhere else we should expect an update please let me know, otherwise I will continue to communicate through this thread.

Have you guys settled on a map yet? (for the first movie) - If we know the map perhaps it will help to gather ideas, of course I know that also might open the flood gates to a lot of ideas.

I've been watching a lot of game trailers and a couple of old movies, to get some ideas for camera angles (small scenes) I wasn't going to film anything - just take a screenie and photoshop some arrows over the top for camera direction - that way you (as chief cameraman) could decide if you want to use it or not.
Title: Re: Division Television; Become A Forgotten H-ollywood Star!
Post by: Fuchs on 23-04-2009, 17:04:19
We had a nice 'brainstorm' session on a certain map (don't know if König wants to tell or not) and that would be quite fun.

Also, König, feel free to work on our forums. It's the usual password.
Title: Re: Division Television; Become A Forgotten H-ollywood Star!
Post by: Kubador on 23-04-2009, 20:04:47
I left a message on our forum, request to be more specific. I think we should have areas as 'brainstorm' and 'ready scripts' to allow every person to have some kind of input for DTV. In example: I have an idea and ready script so I post it and look at the response of my mates and we decide to make a movie out of it or not (or leave it for later).

I presume that server with battlerecorder will be provided by 130.Pz where we can change maps to our liking (and put passwords etc.). We would only have to figure hours we could use it when we wouldn't be a bother to the clan.

Paused. I just finished final exams and König started a full study around the time we started this so we both where busy, I hope we have some more time in the following weeks, I even spotted König on Ventrilo so maybe he got some more time too, I'll ask him when I see him.

Post by: [130.Pz]F.König on 08-09-2009, 11:09:21
Allright allright, appearantly I'm not dependable (since I'm dutch) and also insane. Quite frankly, the latter is actually true.

Back to the matters at hand, I have more time now, and allthough I am a b*tch and I don't visit our Free Forums Fuchs created for us, I still want to make this work.

Before all of this I was only using Fraps, but thanks to some tips by Kubador I am now also using Battle Recorder and Battle Director, and I've purchased (yes, purchased, as in paid for it, see I am insane, told ya?) new video editing software which is bound to step things up. I am full of fresh ideas.

Some of the scripts that have been mailed to our wondrous e-mail adres (divisiontelevision@gmail.com) will definitly make good movies. As of right now I am working out a date and / or server to just do a first meeting on, maybe we will film, maybe we won't. But the most important thing right now is getting together on a server and a teamspeak/ventrilo and talk stuff over.

Cheers.

Guys, I signed up and sent a script a while ago, but I think it'd be just great if you were to team up with Ricky and I to help with the upcoming (Name censored) Miniseries. You could infuse yourselfes into The Blue Community  http://www.thebluecommunity.com/forums/index.php or you could become a part of The EngineerIsaac Network http://www.slidefuse.com/site/ to help boost with actors music, and a whole lot of help generally needed for success in the Machinima process.

I talked to Isaac (Joe) and he said that we could use the Grizzle site because It's the "projects" of the network. I can talk to grizzle and see if he'd allow his site to be changed for DTV's purposes.

I don't know Fuchs, if you're right.

The Blue Community seems like an awesome community and definitly the right place.

Warrior, is it ok if we think about it?

To be honest I do not want to turn down your offer, but I'm not sure we are ready to step up into a community yet.

I think the best plan is to start out individually, and see if either independance is the best way, or that the Blue Community offers the solution for us.

But I appreciate you bringing us this offer!

well, I was thinking we could use the Grizzle site, which would change to DTV, so you'd be linked to the EN Network (Blue, Captiva, Sorken, FEAR etc,.) and you'd also have your very own television station through Slidefuse.

It's a good plan, that's for sure. The only thing that keeps me from saying yes is that we haven't done anything or tried anything out yet.

If after one or two productions we're all like "yeah this is awesome" I would almost indefinetly say yes to your offer, I just want to see how DTV starts off first :)

We are for hire.

Plus what use would it have for us both to make a FH film in co-op? We both got different views on Machinima and most of our movies just show off organized combat with good music. Or adoption movies for Grenadiers.

Hey guys - yes I am still game, no I am currently rather unavailable for meet-ups in TS or Ventrilo due to technical problems. I *should* be back in full glory next week. My apologies for not posting in our forums, but I thought I am excused for that for now the time being. :)

I can help out acting and writing for sure. I have some writing projects going on now (Joe, Mudra, you know what I mean ;)) but Im glad to get something else under the wings aswell.
