Synopsis

The film starts in the player room where he gets up to play his favorite game for many hours. At night, he receives a strange proposition through the game consisting in joining the army. Believing in his choice, he decides to accept. But war isn't what he was thinking about...

My mission

The machinima was created by a six members team. We started a preproduction by thinking and drawing the storyboard, by taking the engine in hand and creating an animatics (a preview of the movie with pictures used in the storyboard). In production, we created different environnements (the player room, the hospital room, the dormitory...). To end with, we filmed the scenes, worked on the editing, added some effects and sounds...

Personally, I worked on the storyboard a little, and a lot on modeling stuff for the environnements. I also worked on compositing for some scenes hard to film directly in the game.

Keep it virtual showing

The machinima was shown at Paris during the Atopic festival in 2009. We also tried to participate to the machinima contest for the game festival in Paris on the same year, but it was impossible because of the authors rights on the song we used in the first part.
