I REALLY want to make a cool P47 furball film. and i mean big furball.
the key will be around 5-10 P47s in a formation and we will mould the story around what happens in that fight.
the end result would hopefully be a 'tounge in cheek' 1950s comic strip style dialog, voiced over clips and snippets of the sortie/story you record. I would fly along in a spitfire mk8 with a wingman to film the run also, and play the camero roles of a squadron fighting alongside the 56th in what ever fight it was.
we would write a script and no one would be 'playing as themself' in the film. yucca would be X character, reddog Y, F00t Z etc etc and we would make them full of last centuaries bravado, wit and arrogance:)
so really all i need is t come over and fly a sortie with the 56th next time there are a few of you on at once, and get people to do some characteristic voice overs other than the 56th themselves.
thanks for reading and if anyone has expereince or ideas to contribute please feel free to become a part of the idea.

Last time i ran into the 56th FG they were in P38s... need a film of that Bat? (its quite funny)
>>S<< 56th and UNFORGIVEN, thx for a few fun deaths!
-
need P47s, just thought i offer the job to them as they seem to go all shy and red faced when they see jugs the most out of all of us :D doesnt need to be.
-
sexy!
-
ok ill count y;all in,.
shout me in game or ill hunt you all down at some point :D
-
I LOVE THAT IDEA ! Who will they be fighting?:D :aok
P.S. Yucca where you been?

Haven't you heard Leadpig? They started the ceasefire.
:D
-
I'll switch sides for this role BTW.....
Jugs rule!
-
if we had enough interest, we could even form a squadron of 109s and 190s to fly against them
shout your name if you would want to.
there would be no prearanged script, so after a good big furball, the story is told.
for that we need 20 people per side though, as apposed to an MA furball.
-
I'll be a pilot if you need one batfink
-
What a fun idea!
If you guys need some targets let me know. They can shoot me down any time. Well, they do anyway, but at least I can offer up my scalp.
-
hey B@t check your pm's!
-
Might be able to get JG44 to play the German foe...

You can't fly a Tiffy Kermit it'll be Jugs against Luftwaffe, that's what i think :p
-
sounds good :aok
-
I'd be happy to help out in any way that's needed if you could use me Bat. I could probably round up a few squaddies if you need them.

-
Bat, sounds like a great idea....
I'll send an email out to the guys and see when we can get a good showing :aok
-
pssssssssssssst... I'll fly a jug im pretty good with it even ask Nomde and his mission :D . Or i'll fly my 109 into them.;)
-
brilliant, looks like some good interest :)
anyone who isnt 56th will fly 109s untill the numbers fill out and we can add a few more to the jugs. if we need more jugs then those keen to fly them, Wolfala, SAS, et al will be the fisrt to know about it.
Kermy, would you hook some of the unforgiven into the luft rides?
maybe we should give the JBs a call.
-
With the right timing, ya might be able to get a CM to set up the SEA for this. I would be interested, IF the timeframe is right. Cant guarantee I'll be available.
Might I suggest you run it up the flagpole on the Special Events forum?
-
I'll be there if I can. I proably have e-mail..... but once date it set would help to post it here too.
Ya, you should link a post to the SEA forum if you want BlkKnit.... it is the type of thing they would enjoy, if not help with.
Sounds like fun .... what model p47? what type of 109? Or 190?
-
i figured all types of 47s
and 109s
this way the we get as many models and skins as possible.
if the SEA will help all the better.
lets make it a time when most people aint working, sundays afternoon EST time.
-
hmm....Sunday after Close Escort? Basically after 5 pm est? Or very early Sunday, maybe, but Dace and / or Swoop will be wanting to set up for Close Escort which starts at 3 pm est. So this would need to be finished up by 1 or so est.
If you want to use the SEA then we'll need to make a request to use the arena at that time. I'll be glad to do your set up, but I'll need specifics and a time that is BlkKnit friendly ;)
-
Batty you know French?
Vous connaissez Batty français ?
Sweet.
-
oui je parle francais une petit.....heh but spelling it sucks.
BlkNit! if you could find us a time that suits the SEA then we will conform to that schedule. thanks for the idea sir!
-
I have posed the question in the CM forum
Does Saturday sound OK?
-
OOPS! we it seems there is an event Saturday....KOTH, so I think thats out.
ONly other option that works for me is to run it on Sunday either before noon est or after CE at about 5 pm est.
I suppose that doing your thing in the DA would work just as well, up to you, just let me know which of those options you want to run with.
-
we could happily do it in the DA rather than cause any effort. if things seem easy with the sunday after 5pmEST then we'll do with the SEA, and terrain would do. we could make it a walk on event will the planeset limeted after the first initial formation attacks. if it seems like hard work we can happily do it in the DA at one of the canyon maps.
thanks for the help everyone.
This Sunday at 5pm EST is the time, i hope alot can make it.
-
I'm in, sounds like a cool film. I'll fly whateva, it don't matter to me
-
bump
still on for this sunday at 5pm est, assemble in DA and then we will go to the SEA or stay put accordingly, vox 201.
the plane set will include P47 D11, 25, 40 for the 56th and Bf109 F4, G2, G6, FW190 A5 for the luftwaffe.
I would also like to request the assistance of anybody who is skilled at recording and/or speaking for voice overs. we will need to manifest at least 10 American voices for the allies, along with a few phrases in German. then record them and slot them over the finished movie that i will produce with all the sound except vocals.
its alot to ask and i would be very gratefull to anyone who might help.
S!
-
Well if you're going for muffled transmissions I can help ya. I've (sadly) only got my < $5 mic for my PC. If you want higher quality I can't help ya.
-
muffled is good, needs a bit of static also to simulate anchient radios.
I'm afraid my American accent leaves alot to be desired.
-
just saw this. if you need another pilot, aswell as any help with the movie, i'd love to help bat :)
-
Bat, you got 2 days left before the shooting begins, I hope you are almost done with your script (i.e., what you want each group of planes to do, alt, attack styles, skins, fuel settings, any arranged damage or fights, stuff like that. Or are you just going to say fight, and see what comes of it? Either way, I'll fly to help ya with filling in on pilot slots. How long will it take? The longer it takes, the more likely you'll have people that need to leave.
-
if I'm around when you up I'll join.. I will die gloriously and quickly as usual just tell me where you want me to go bat :)
I don't know how I come across on vox but I'll be willing to do some voice work if you like
-
the fight isnt scripted it will be an uneven furball against the P47s, but the goal of the luftwafe is not to stay alive by BnZ, its to get stuck in and be shot down whilst the P47s goal is to kill something and stay alive as long as possible.
sounds like favourig the allies, and it is, thats the kind of comic style story we want.
see ya there both of you :D
-
assuming I'll be plopped in with the LW (no problem there) am I to "make a good show of it" but to not do any real harm? Am I to not try my best to get out of a situation, should I wiggle around and let them kill me? Or really engage in the fight?
I'm able to follow directions, as long as we're clear on the directions.
-
no shoot to disable, if they burn or loose half a wing let them land it will look better.
And everybody , sounds stupid, but aim for the wings and tails more than usual, too many 'pilot hit'explosions can turn the kills a bit samey.:)
but dont sit above the furball cherry picking, the luftwaffe will be the low alt targets but higher num of planes. the fight is in the 47s hand if they fly well, but i would hope around half the allies to get shot down or disabled.
-
OK, got a t-storm brewing here, but unless it rolls south a bit more, I think its gonna miss us.
Bat, you call for these.......
P47 D11, 25, 40 for the 56th and Bf109 F4, G2, G6, FW190 A5 for the luftwaffe.
Now do you want seperate fields and countries? Or would you prefer to up everyone from 1 field for easier direction to all? With killshooter off and icons disabled in the film its all the same, except vox issues.
Close Escort is gonna run in a few minutes, pop in around 4:30 eastern and decide which field(s) you want to use.
If you pop in and I am not on the roster.........it is bad weather and I am hiding under the bed ;) :p
Hope to be there, If I am not, I apologize.
-
Thank you sir!!
ill be there at 430
EVERYONE INVOLVED GO TO SEA AT 5pm EST
