I'll consider this your official blessing, then. I'll begin pre-production work once I'm done with this:

I have a few days of unadulterated free time and have decided to bump this quick-n-easy project to the top of my list. I made one major change to your script, NewSith: the CEO changed to a female, of "ethnic" persuasion. Mainly because I wanted to change it up a bit. That's the only change aside from one or two minor dialogue tweaks.

Here's some additional stuff:

CHARACTERS:
CEO: Female, Asian or Middle Eastern
Secretary: Female, white
Security Guard: Male, any ethnicity, muscular frame
"Jimmy": voice only

PROPS:
1x iPad
1x Android smartphone
1x other smartphone (maybe iPhone)
1x security guard radio/mike with belt
Industry logos for boardroom and CEO office

WARDROBE:
CEO in business attire: pants and jacket
Secretary in business attire: skirt/blouse
CorpSec Guard in uniform: cargo pants, boots, polo shirt, gear

EXTRAS:
4-6 suit-wearing corporate executives (boardroom)
2-3 office drones wearing slacks, shirts, ties (hallway scene)

NOTES:
CEO should be both female and non-Caucasian as a break from the typical norm.
Effects to be done post-filming.
Maybe add outfit tags?
Possibly have "Jimmy" as more than a voice – maybe guy in surveillance van?

Luvly.

Filming this tomorrow (Murphy's Law notwithstanding). Will have preliminary video and probably a lot of stills. I have a thread going on the BWC forums about what features they'd like to see in the mythical made-up PS2 iPhone app, PSU people should feel free to chime in here unless there's already another thread like it.

Will definitely need some special-effects graphics for this app, too.

Principle photography is done. I'm pretty proud of it mainly because the people in the commercial are gamers and Planetside players, not professional actors. Next step is to do the editing and the effects. I'll be posting some photographs and screenshots later today.

<3 you big time, FF...


EDIT: As for the app keying, I think using the fullscreen footage from PlanetSide 2 presentation can do.

and here's a video entirely devoted to it:

We are still working on this, namely the art on the pop-up panels.

Man, that's nice!
