We have two filming sessions on Dec 5th & Dec 12th.
Current set and lighting design need some quick experiments and adjustments. Camera men (or cinematographers) need to study framing and shot movement more. Review storyboard below here, and add your study shots. We can have one more cinematographer. Interested person can take on the role.
As for actors, we are looking for another three talents to play Red Storm Troopers. Please leave a note here or IM in world.
Also, we need to begin collecting all the scripted objects the script team has made and put them into "effects" literally.

A retrospect of our approach to making and filming machinima battle scene...
Hybrid Methods:
story idea > characters > film script > choreography storyboard > lighting & colors > actor script > animation list > programming list > initial blocking > set > initial shot list > camera & actors > lighting & set > scripted effects & avatar behaviors ...
We mixed techniques from several disciplines:
PRODUCTION
Theatrical Performance: actor script, set, blocking
Live Action Film: storyboard (camera & scene), shot list, blocking
PREPRODUCTION
3D Animation: character development
Game Development: avatar animation, scripted behaviors & interactions
