I started making a movie just after christmas and before new years, its called Miamilife, I'm aiming for it to be made like a real movie would be which is; Professional looking camera angles, good acting, good plot and most important of all is to have it edited visually and to have speech and a good soundtrack. I firstly made a intro then I stuffed it up a bit so I made a new intro which I think is better but you guys might thing otherwise but this is the intro and the last intro just had bad quality and actors names that I put in there either no longer act in it or their names arent correct. I'll be directing, filming and editing the movie. I just hope I get most of you guys to star in it, I'm not going to accept just anyone its got to be a member I know that I can rely on.
anyway heres the new intro:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXS3xAtZXJ0
Heres the plot of it -
Vice City, 1988 A place where crime is still a large part with corrupt
politicians and is still under Vercetti crime family control.
2 close brothers (Antonio Vesquez & Andrea Vesquez). Andrea Vesquez sleeps
with money almost, he has a big part in the drug business with the Vercetti
Crime Family. His brother, Antonio, is stuck with his Cuban friend Marcus
and they are both going downhill and getting alot of heat withthe police and
other agencies with murder and robbery. Ryton Aide is the last Place Antonio
and Marcus will ever rob. The police are cracking down hard on them and are
not going to let them slip away this time. When they are robbing the store
as planned 3 cop cars pull up and the cops point their guns and order for
surrender. Antonio and Marcus run out firing at any cop they can get at and
head for their getaway PCJ 600 motorbike, Marcus gets shot down and Antonio
is left by himself and its speeding down the stretch and heading into downtown
to catch his helicopter ride home at the stadium. Antonio is thrown off his
motorbike when he hits a roadblock. All the cops at the road block open fire
on him as he tries to get away on foot but doesnt make it.
A few days later Andrea is told about the news of his brother robbing Ryton
Aide and being killed afterwards by 3 cops.
Andrea is out to get revenge on the 3 cops that murdered his brother but
during the process gets known by alot of players and makes it as one of the
top players in Vice City.
Tonight when I come on to the server sometime Ill most likely be recording for first part of the scene.
If you have any suggestions on what I can do to make it better like the characters names or anything like that just say :)
-
goodluck on your nice planned movie hope it works out well :)
-
Good sence of using camera views...
Right for you - in download section on the site - camerahack for MTA edited by our Tuntis...
This cameraMTA will free you from flying helicopters for making shots...
Also if you want to be in movie too - the camera tool can help you a lot...
About movie - too long the begining...
But I liked the view of arrived cops... D)
-
The font is bad.
Otherwise, it's nice and not using the camhack for the intro made it feel more "freestyle".
-
can somebody send me a link for the camhack and manual plz :help:
-
lmao can't believe that I thanked no for this one. :lol:
-
Thanks guys, I probobly will end up using cam hack but at the moment im just filming cameraman style but meh. For the intro Aragon, you said its to long, I agree it is a bit but I wanted to show most of vice city with the title being 'Miamilife'. As for the theme that goes with the intro, I looked through my whole playlist and the song that fits best is Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve. I also looked at Aguanile - Irakere. That song is featured on Espantoso but Bittersweet Symphony is better.
@ Tuntis, I know the font is a bit crap but its Vice City and thats Vice Citys Rage Italic font, It fits the 80's Miami theme. This is based in 1988.
I tried making the first scene tonight but there were alot of people messing it up for us on the RPG server and when we went to the event server there was hardly any one on so we tried Trojans movie and everyone suddenly had to go right before we finished. I just hope to get this thing done in a couple of weeks. Its my first movie done in GTA MTA by the way :)
-
Gaf nice title : ''Miamilife'' :cool:
-
heh, thanks. It wasnt me who thought it up, I think it was Sajtfej i forget :redface:
-
Sajtfej had Vicelife so.....me...you understand D)
-
Oh yeah, he had vicelife. Well now we know who came up with Miamilife :D
And @ GstarZ. Thanks for the comment on youtube, give me a chance before you start critizing this thing. you havent even seen what Im doing yet, only the intro. BTW, nice going on wrecking Trojans movie. Prick.
-
Dont listen to Gstarz...The movie will be very good.About the intro..it's nice .Put into the intro a nice song,not hip-hop or rock just a quiet song,to mach to the '90 years period,when the action took.Good luck ;)
-
I have bittersweet Symphony as the intro song, the drums and stuff start when the vercetti estate gets exposed from behind the palm trees.
Seeing that GtsarZ wants a video with music ill put the intro on youtube with the music in it. Just to shut him up.
-
Cmon guys that was GstarZ opinion(Maybe sarcasm) and I don't see any reason why you guys should become just like him.
-
Ive replaced the old intro with the same intro but with the theme in it im my first post. Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve.
-
Hey instead of subtitles i can do voice overs for you guys. Just give me a script and me and my friends can act it out for you. I got a professional samson mic with a popfilter :)
-
AWESOME!
That's... so dramatic and great. The music choice rules!
-
Hey instead of subtitles i can do voice overs for you guys. Just give me a script and me and my friends can act it out for you. I got a professional samson mic with a popfilter :)
Yeah I was gonna do voice overs cause I dont like subtitles but I'm leaving everything like that to wait until I finished it. You offered first so you can do a voice. I also know someone whos great at voices, if they can I might get them to do a couple aswell. But for now all that is going to be one of the last things I'm doing. Just want to get the movie done then when thats out the way I can add all the little stuff in it to make it good.
-
ok sounds good man. Just let me know, I got a new mic and im always recording
-
nice movie man,its great.the song mach perfectly with the intro :cool: D)
-
awsome empire is gona make it even better :) nice songs
-
Thanks for everythin said people. last night the server was full and i froze up right when sajtfej asked im gonna start filming which i was gonna do but anyway some time in the next couple of days im gonna start filming all the stuff but atm im to wasted to do anything, its hard tryin to type. Happy new years everyone have a gr8 2007. D)
-
Happy new year to you Gaf

Hey everyone. Tonight I just finished the first scene for miamilife, the scene where the cops pull up to Ryton aide and the cops shoot at antonio and Marcus and marcus gets killed and the cops chase antonio to downtown where he gets killed by the 3 cops... all finished all edited. I aint gonna release the video, I'm gonna make yous wait... until the trailer when i have more footage :) but ill chuck some pictures up. I think this is looking really good, the actors I had tonight were Sajtfej, Frodo, Watti and Kowalski and theyre like pros. They did well.
Now, when I made the intro I'm going to admit somethin, I stuffed up a few bits in it and I had to re-do it but I deleted the footage so I had to import it into movie maker and remake it the way I wanted which lowered the quality of the image. The rest of the movie I promise will not be that quality, the quality will be pretty damn good as you can see in the screenshots so if you were thinking about the intros quality bein crap, thats the only time it is throughout the whole movie. You can watch these full screen the qualities that good.
anyway, heres the pictures, hope ya like them :P:

lol man, you gotta let me do the voice overs pleaaseee lol
-
This is going to turn out a very interesting and enjoyable movie ;) , I cant wait to see the finished product
-
i like your last picture
with what programs do u guys make that with windows movie maker??
-
I make the movie in Windows Movie Maker but those screens, my fraps on my laptop was playing up so i imported the movie into macromedia flash mx and went to video editor and print screened bits of the scene from there.
-
movie maker ahh the one and only newb program, i wish we could get better but i dont have money to spend....
-
Its not just Movie Maker. For some bits like the credits ill be using Macromedia Flash MX. Movie Maker just puts it together and thats all I need.
-
Adobe Premiere.
Try it out, much better.
(You know the "ways" to get it, right?)
-
Yep and will do, thanks Tuntis :)
-
Adobe premier eh... better than CS2???????
-
I just got the admin of another forum im on to go as a small role in Miamilife. His names Zidane and hes owner of www.gtagaming.com
Hes an awesome voice actor so hes in the voice acting cast :) hes gonna make it superb.
So far voice actors for it are:
GaF
=RM=_Empire
Zidane
-
Adobe premier eh... better than CS2???????
Sigh....
Adobe Premiere is a non-linear movie editing program for professionals.
Adobe Photoshop is a professional image manipulation & editing program.
Are you gonna edit your movie frame by frame with Photoshop?
I don't think so...
-
This pretty cool. :)
Music: Avesome :)
Camera: Its ok :)
-
Thanks joker. Hope you like it once i finish :)

thanks Tuntis .. it might be possible ... frame by frame

You could do it but either you or the computer would die before you finish.
-
DEAAAAM u deserve a grammy for this is is a good movie nicely done my god ol chap this is the best ive eever done http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJp5X2geN7k (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJp5X2geN7k)
-
As I've already said, I've finished the 2nd scene and I'm starting to think about the intro of this alot. I'm getting ideas of giving Miamilife a GTA style intro instead of the longassed Vice sights intro I currently have. It wont take that long, just a couple of days but thats not a problem. Whats your opinions? Keep the current or make the GTA style one?
When I talk about the GTA style one I mean the silhoutte(sp) with an image behind it.
BTW, during the next few weeks I'll be looking for some actors cause Im going to begin recording this thing again :)
-
yo could i be an actor? ;)
-
Sure :)
-
Which character could i be?
-
i bought Premeire u need SSE2 on ur processor so i returned it for Sony Vegas 7.0 and 200 cash back

:neutral: -.- Im confused -.- :neutral:
-
Guard I havent thought up which Characters are which latly, I'm just thinking which characters could be there in the next few scenes.
The next scene Im gonna film is going to need 3 characters. One character being Tommy Vercetti (who doesnt talk in the movie, just acts) another being one of Vercettis top members and then Andrea.
Andrea will be standing in vercettis office and Vercettis guy runs in and tells Andrea to get into the Lounge room to see the TV. I'll have to edit a bit of this scene in Macromedia flash MX so that the TV looks like its playing the news outside Ryton aide. I got all that figured out, just need to record. After they turn off the TV when its announced the 3 cops will get the Medallion of bravery at the Malibu that night then Andrea says that he is going to go there. Then the scene ends.
After Andrea kills the first cop (which ive planned out aswell) he gets a call from a unknown voice that tells him to go to phils place. When he does he hears the sound of a chainsaw and a masked man (Robber outfit) walks out. They both talk and the robber gives him info about the other cop and asks Andrea not to kill him but to bring him back to him so he can chop him up with his chainsaw.
Guard if you want to you can be the chainsaw dude and a few other characters if you like, but Im also looking for a person who can do the voice of a pissed off texan accented guy.
-
For the pissed off texan, turn at ranger not me, i sound a little NOT texan
Also maybe i can be Andrea? :cool:
-
Anyone will act as Andrea when Im recording, they just got to know what they have to do and to have Andreas outfit which is this:

i bought Premeire u need SSE2 on ur processor so i returned it for Sony Vegas 7.0 and 200 cash back
I recommend Premiere 6.5 if you can still find it (legally or... "not-so-legally")
Canopus Edius is good too;
-
GaF this intro is AWESOME! :)I wish i can be one of the actors in the Movie.
-
"texan accented guy"
im offended.
:mad:
-
Arto, Ive made a new intro. Ill post it up later. Just hope you like that to. and youre already an actor... your in the credits in the intro...
-
huh??im an actor?? D) D)
I have watched maybe half of intro(not too good internet)so i have not seen that im in credits
-
I said in the new intro, your name is in credits when it has the scene of a the infernus driving past the vercetti estate. Ill upload it tonight maybe and edit the post with the link. It has same soundtrack and all, i just use the cam hack in it other than the helicopter.
_______________________________________ _______________________
Ok I've finished the intro and I also have the other scenes joined with it to but like Im gonna relase that with the intro so I just got rid of the scenes and just exported the intro.... To be honest I prefer this more than the old one used with the helicopter for 2 reasons. I use MTA Cam hack and it has actors names that are correct... unless one of you change them >:( nah thats nothing to worry about cause I have the movie saved as a project so its changeable anytime :) Anyway, I've uploaded this intro on YouTube, enjoy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXS3xAtZXJ0
oh and BTW, I tried the sillouhette GTA style intro but i could never figure out how to do it... My only guess is to make pictures with transperant cutouts in photoshop and make the trailer in Flash MX but I think thatd lower the quality of the video so I just did the basic intro. If I figure out how to do it then Ill edit and chuck it up :)

Heres some screens that I uploaded from what I've been filming latly:
When Vercettis friend (Acted by Mudgard) comes in to tell Andrea to go to watch TV

The TV where the news is reported on. Its all video btw.

A view next to the stinger where Andrea spots one of the cops.

When Andrea enters Malibu... The next scenes are yet to be filmed.
(http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4334/75451169tz1.jpg)
In the next scenes Im going to need 3 cops, 1 Secret Service Vercetti and the rest a bunch of extras to give the Malibu more of a busy nightclub feeling.
But I'll leave all that to later for now.

I been pretty slack when it comes to filming Miamilife mainly because I've either been to busy with stuff in life or looking after server as admin. Today I actually got some time to film some when I could be bothered. I finished the Scene where the cops get the medals and just the start where Andrea begins to follow the cop that dies soon after.
This scene was acted out by:
GaF/iKlipse (new nick btw)
Lionz
Lux
Grzesiek
Squid
Hess
Mex
Heres some screens for ya's, not to interesting but they're better than nothing.

GaF, hit me up on msn @ [email protected]
And ill send you full fraps, no www.fraps.com at the top :)

-
You might want to apply letterboxing to hide the fraps url.
-
Full version = No www.fraps.com no letter boxing :P
-
but letterboxing looks cool anyways
-
Ok now its time for the voice acting to come in-place. I'm looking for a couple of people with voice acting skills that are able to pull off the American accent. I am a voice actor in it myself.
@ Empire, if your still up for it that'd be great.
I just need to check if Zidane from gtagaming is still up for it, if he is then Im all set with you guys.

-
Here is a scene I decided to put out after a few people asked me to put it up, Its the latest scene and its just been finished, it's only going to be up for the weekend so yeah hope you like it.

Sorry, did not write a comment, thou voted as soon as you gave me the link...
Very good job... Really...
:hoor:
Two things only...
1. Lags... Check the options of fraps to make lag less if possible...
2. Some scenes are a lil long, could be more cutted to make movie compact...
But very good job, once again... keep going...:)
-
Thanks, Aragorn. The scenes will all be cut-to-fit once I get the voices from voice actors put in, the scene just seems long because of that. Once the script is in then it should be sweet :)
-
Well GaF/iKlipse keep this great work-It's awesome ;)
BTW I love the scene of the last moments- :war: The shoot xD
-
Thank you :)
Filming on the next scene will start in the next few days... depending on if I'm busy. But its going to be started within a week.
Posted on: 03 May 2007, 11:13:30
Ok after a MASSIVE halt, Miamilife is now back up and will be ready for filming for the next few weeks. Miamilife took a halt because the computers MTA it was on decided to stuff up and not work all of a sudden for no reason. I am currently transferring all the work to this computer so hopefully everything will be cool. So if you'd like to help out just apply for actor. I will be filming A LOT in the next few days for it so hopefully it'll be finished soon.
Posted on: 09 June 2007, 03:31:12
Filming started tonight with the help of Watti, all the bits of the movie that didn't have much action are all over and done with now, the next scenes that will be filmed are a SWAT raid on the Vercetti estate and a shootout and chase throughout VC.
