If you want to get a buch toghter, what would be good film the movie in England, because that is where most people are. Have the Aussies and Americas, do things like art desigen script writing and post production. Just a thought.

Work here, some do pre some post. then write the script so that it has parts that work on all shoures like a generational action movie. The hours, only violant. so one part could be American one part british one part Arutraian. It is do able but the logistics would suck a**. Or we could do a trigiy and each do one part. Again. logistics would suck.

There's no reason why an amateur film can't make the big-screen. Just because the makers don't make filmings for a living, doesn't mean they can't make good films!

Look at the Space race - there's amateurs appearing now who are giving NASA a run for their money - I think within the next 20 years, we'll see amateurs building spacecraft, and getting into orbit! It's already happening!

Well were hitting pretty hard, and have many close ups and pans of the swords, almost as if they are charactors themselfs.

If we did, I just keep thinking about it a simple story would be aileans are attacking Earth, and people must fight back. So one group is in america, on group is in England one group is in Austraila, etc. Then we find one or two people to edit, send them the footage, and piece it togther as if it were one film. Of course before anything cold be done we would have to all finish the projects we are working on. To be honnist the more I think about it the less unlikely it sounds, if we all really cared.

Why don't we just all throw random scenes together, and then edit them into a movie?

Me Sarcastic? Never!

LOL!

Nah, I was serious - It would be good fun - but everyone would have to film the scenes according to a very rough plot.

It could be like Pulp Fiction! With all the different scenes from different people become somehow intertwined (If that is even a word) Into, like CamClub said, a very VERY rought plot
