Planetside 2 Fan-Film: Which Outfits?

Firefly · 2012-08-04, 11:21 AM

In case you were unaware, I'm an indie film-maker when I'm not pissing people off on the internet or working a regular real job. Shameless self-plug, I have a Kickstarter (link) that has 30 hours left and could use some loving to the tune of $6,100.

Also in case you were unaware, NewSith has drafted a script for this mythical real-time/real-world phone app that interacts with Planetside 2. His script can be found here (link). I chimed in as a show of support and suddenly found myself volunteering to make the commercial/ad. If you don't read the lounge, I also put out a casting call (link) in case you wanted to be in it.

So the question that I have for you all is, which outfits should I put in the ad? Their names are basically name-drops in the pop-up overlay special effects that we'll be creating. I may even use the Annotations feature on Youtube videos to post their website URLs. I need one NC outfit, one VS outfit, and one TR outfit.

Convince me that I should use your outfit's name. If I get nothing, I may randomly select outfits without your approval.

well i know [TRG] has been around since the launch of PS1, and has been kicking ass for the Republic nonstop since.

Azure Twilight would love to help/participate, PM me if you need anything special.

As it happens, before I decided to make this post I'd thought to myself, who are some of the more well-known outfits from all three empires? For the VS, Azure Twilight was one of the ones that came to mind.

One NC response, one VS response, two TR responses. Really, guys? Fucking free publicity. Doesn't cost you a penny. Come on, you can't be that butt-hurt that I don't say a bunch of nice fancy shit on a daily basis...

I don't like you so no.

That and I can't speak for PG, so vOv. Mostly this second part, though.

BRTD can get some people online (Better Read Than Dead - TR). What you looking for? Specific shots? Or just some stream-record footage?

The "commercial" is a live-action Short. It's an ad for an iPhone/Droid interface for PS2 (which I think we have to actually magic-pencil-whip). It will use in-game footage but I think what I'll do is wait until the game is released or the NDA is lifted instead of using stock dev-provided footage.

What I "need" from Outfits is their name, nothing more. The commercial will have effects pop up in the form of a fancy sci-fi looking overlay and I've decided to add an outfit tag for each character. Hence why I'm asking.
