A few of the lads in the GT and I were talking about producing a short film to coincide with the Hunter Valley Cruise. So we've stepped it up a notch, and developed a rough script of what we are planning on shooting on the day, and whatnot. Do it once, do it EPIC. As this is the first time I have ever attempted something like this, I thought it would be wise to put up a thread letting all you blokes know that we will be doing it on the day, and to put your hand up to get involved. We will need actors, we will need drivers, we will need help for camera operation, accessories setup, etc. Aek, we have already volunteered you for a position.
THERE WILL BE NO RACING FOOTAGE, OR DANGEROUS DRIVING FOOTAGE WHATSOEVER. WE DO NOT CONDONE THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOUR, AND ALL FOOTAGE OF YOUR CAR WILL BE WIPED FROM PRODUCTION IF YOU DECIDE TO DRIVE LIKE AN IDIOT.
Primarily, its going to be footage of all the Subarus, but adding a storyline behind it. So far, we have come up with the following.
Scene 1:
Airport
Phonecall on black screen
Ring Ring
Nik - "Hi. Do you have him? Good. Yes, the briefcase is coming. Look for me on the horizon. A convoy of boxer will approach"
Cue Ramstein Engel
Nik is seen standing outside the airport, with a steel case cuffed to his hand, and dressed in a suit.
<insert dialogue/voice over>
Close up of steel briefcase, locks, and cuffs. Pans out slowly, showing Nik putting briefcase in boot of Subaru. Fade to dark. Sound of Subaru driving off.
Scene 2:
Toll Gates
Camera inside of boot shows boot opening, and briefcase being taken out. Focus on briefcase, and human blurred in background (F3.5 / 1/125) Boot shuts. Black screen.
Camera switches to outside view, of Nik removing briefcase. Crane pans and tilts out to show 2 wagons flanking car briefcase being removed from. Subarus parked around car and bodyguards with NERF guns walking alongside Nik.
GoPro footage Attached to Niks wrist showing briefcase being moved from one boot to another. Walking through crowd of people looking at Nik and bodyguards toward second car. Second car has man standing near boot.
<dialogue between Nik and Car 2 driver (Car 2 driver scruffy looking, loud, gives zero fucks attitude>
Boot opens, and Aek jumps out and runs. Car2 Driver screams at henchmen to get him (Camera close up of car2 driver yelling “Get him!”) Sit on boot of wagon, and drive forward slowly as Aek chases camera, showing 2 bodyguards chasing behind. . Crash tackled by 2 of Car2 drivers henchmen, put on stomach on ground, (Camera on ground on slider, pan from left to right as being duct taped on mouth, and cable tied hands behind back) bound with cable ties and duct tape, and put back in boot of car.(Camera 1 inside boot of car, Camera 2 GoPro attached to Aeks head, multi angle display on screen in final edit)
Nik stands expressionless as he watches this unfold, like this is something he is used to seeing. Nik asks Car2 driver to keep "him" until the next meet spot, until he can be transported "safely" .Car2 Driver his word in exchange, and Car2 driver goes back to car. As he stands next to his open driver’s door, he looks around and see’s a mass of Subarus. Nods approvingly, gets into car, and drives off, with convoy in tow.
Scene 3:
Peats Ridge
Boot opens; Aek once again gets out, grabs the suitcase, and makes a run for it. (Camera shows many subarus parked in background. GoPro footage of static Aek head, but scenery around him moves fast and rough, giving a running/dramatic escape effect) Punches someone in the face, gets in their car, and drives off. Subyclub rolls out searching for the rogue car. (Camera of Aeks car parked behind bush, with background shot of other Subarus “searching” for him)
Highway rolling footage of cars.
Scene 4:
Hunter Valley
Car “chase” with Aek (5-10 cars in chase, filmed from back of wagon shooting back. Focus on Aeks car, and rest of cars behind him swerving trying to get in front of him to stop him. Eventually a car blocks the way, and Aek has to stop. Gets out, runs, but gets caught again. Briefcase is confiscated, and taken back to original Car2 guy and Nik @ Harrigans.
ENDING: Person wakes up, looks at the time, and exclaims "Oh shit, I'm going to be late for the Hunter Valley Cruise!"
Aek - aekOne
Nik - Skillionaire
Please bear in mind this is an extremely rough script, and it will need refinement.
I need ideas from you guys. Please post up what you think should be included in this short film, and I will go through and pick out some ideas. Ideally, I would like this film to go for around 15-20mins, but that time isn't set in stone.
Guys, this will come out awesome if you chuck in your input. My ideas alone will not create the best outcome, hence why we are opening it up to the community for input.
GO NUTS!
Cheers,
Shaz
right off.
