42ndaar 10 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Hello again i am the commander for the SEMI-Realism unit the 42nd Air Assault Regiment (COL C. Daley). We would like to extend and invitation to all member of the community to help us in a daunting task. This is the REmake the movie black hawk down, with-in the ARMA 3 world. When we say remake, we will have our own variations due to arma being a game and not a movie set, but we will be recreating every scene. We welcome all players weather to stand in as soldiers or to help script and direct this monster. Please feel free to message us on our forums at 42ndaar.com or these forums as a reply, our TS3 info is also on our website. Thank you to all who come to help, and we will update this as we progress into the film. Thank you all 42nd AAR Command Edited October 12, 2014 by 42ndaar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) It's a daunting task. The editing alone could probably take a month, and the filming would take at times a completely full server with people willing to follow orders.

42ndaar 10 Posted April 2, 2011 the 42nd is 85+ members strong and we have an high retention rate please keep your personal issues out of this post as we are trying to work with the community here. As for the remake of this movie, it will be hard but my team and i think it will be a ton of fun and something that hasn't been done before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_R 1087 Posted April 2, 2011 I'm certainly willing to help...pm me here and let me know the details.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
42ndaar 10 Posted April 2, 2011 Ok i will forward details to all that want to help, we will have some set dates for filming and such. We are currently in need of people to help design the sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveP 66 Posted April 2, 2011 (edited) Sounds like a challenge, try and shoot one of the more interesting scenes first (maybe the night firefight in the square) and use it as a promo trailer for getting help with the rest Edited April 2, 2011 by DaveP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dialektiikka 10 Posted April 2, 2011 A mind bogglingly Great Idea :eek: Also, I must admit, completely bonkers, but in a good way :) I'm sorta jealous I don't have the time to participate. My suggestion is that you get hold of the original script (eg. here). The storyboard would be even better, but I don't think it's available. If you don't have them allready, try to recruit people from film & media schools, as they have the skill sets, equipment and motivation for this kind of thing. Good Luck and watch out.

The Hebrew Hammer 10 Posted April 2, 2011 Are you recreating shot for shot? If not you're going to have to plan the route each unit takes and storyboard that. Should be near impossible with all of the scripting we're talking about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bars91 956 Posted April 2, 2011 Should be near impossible with all of the scripting we're talking about. And that's why we take on challenges like these, don't we? ;) Good luck on this - I'm kind of into machinimating in ArmA and also video editing so I probably might be of some help, but I don't have much time for gaming lately.:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rangerpl 13 Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) Not to hijack your thread, but has anyone thought about making a Red Storm Rising movie? We have everything for that. RSR takes place in 1986, so we can use Project '85 units and vehicles, complemented by the T-80 pack. We have the USS Nimitz, we have B-52s, F-14s, Tu-22Ms, etc We just need a MiG-29 and some islands that fit the places pictured in the book. "Celle" can be used to represent central Germany.

noubernou 77 Posted April 13, 2011 The story is about a global war between USA and soviet union... I know, hence the period. Yes was an agreement, the second sentence was a statement about how boring terrorists and special forces are. Also, Team Yankee would be better for ArmA2 probably. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
