A New Dawn > Blog: Short update

First of all I want to wish you all a Happy New Year.

Well it's been very, very quiet on this project. Althought I haven't posted in months, I'm still having the project in the back of my mind.

But I hope this new year will bring some changes. My personal life is again up and running ;-), and my other projects are also going well.

So what I want to do is do some location scouting in the near future (within the coming 2 months). And maybe shoot one small mockup of the scenario idea's to see what works the best.

Everybody is welcome to provide some feedback or give a helping hand.

Cheers,

Jeremy

Phillip will post here about the story. It can be possible that this task will be moved to a seperate group, but we aren't there yet. Please do not come with new story idea's, but come with idea's to help Phillip in his story-telling. Here's the synopsis that Phillip made using his and Simo's shot: "In the aftermath of the Tri-Peninsular war, the people of Templum are trying to recover as best they can. In the western area of Poricia, the town of HighTower is under siege from the ‘Scripts, a roving band of snipers left over from the war. The ‘Scripts stand between the town and the fields of nearby Elysium which have fruits and crops vital to the towns-people. Every attempt to reach the field means running the gauntlet of the snipers. Into this comes Nathan Jael, a young man who survived the mayhem of the war, who is trying to make his way to Transit further into the North West. But HighTower has the only remaining ‘Port car system still working. So Jael cuts a deal: he’ll defend the townsfolk if the ‘Port car can be reactivated. But he doesn’t have a sniper rifle. If he wants to take on the ’Scripts, he’ll have to get really, really close to do it."

As each movie we will need a main theme. This should be a tune that frequently comes back in the movie.

Hey, this just caught my eye and thought I'd throw in a few tunes I composed for a fallout 3 music modification a while back. They aren't theme material but I don't know about the other music situation of this project so I'll just share these here...

Perhaps just for possible enjoyment, and getting into the post-apocalyptic feel.

Laters.

A New Dawn > Main soundtrack theme > Not exactly a theme
by: Tapsa Kuusniemi

This is not exactly a theme track, but I think this might have some ideas that could be used in this film. :)

Due to personal problems I had to step back a bit from this project.
I'm back and will do some location scouting on those locations that I posted earlier.
Will keep you people informed.

In the meantime don't be afraid to discuss stuff here.

Best regards,

Jer'm

A New Dawn > Finish the full story > How about..
by: Tatu Rytkönen

A NEW DAWN The movie would open with our protagonist, Jael running across a mellow field towards a small, battered village, under heavy fire. Jael is a lone-wolf, a man who relies on nothing but him self and who makes his own journey, but despite of his independence, his lost. When he arrives to the village of High Tower, the 'Scripts try to raid it and slaughter every living being there. With Jaels natural talent onboard (that'd be killing and fighting, equiped with nothing but a dual blades), the village survives and the people see him as a savior. People come to him, lead by the Elder of the village. They tell him of Elysium, the last frontier of civilization; lush grounds filled with more food and natural resources than a thousands of men and women could spend in life. A paradise which gives shelter and peace and protection against the enemy. Just few miles ahead, right behind the death squads of 'Scripts. Jael sees an opportunity. Not for the people of High Tower but to him self. He decides to use the naive and foolish people as bait and worry only about getting him self to this lost paradise. He agrees to help them. And then they wait for the night. Suspiciousness arises from the group of people, but the Elder prayes for them to have faith on Jael, as he's the only one who can help them, othervise they'd all die soon. The night arrives, pitch black, thick layer of clouds. They begin the journey, avoiding the 'Scripts, barely making through their lines. Right at the very last half a mile, everything turns upside down as the clouds move aside and full moon lits the scene. A fierce battle begins. Jael and his weak group of men, women and children try to flee towards the Haven they've been searching for, but the enemy is stronger. And then Jael sets the bait; He abandones the people and heads quickly to the gates of Elysium. One by one, the innocent, good people get slaughtered. This horrifying scene makes Jael question his decision and methods and when a young, pregnant woman is raped and sliced to pieces in the midst of the battle, he makes his final cal. Right outside the gates, he turns back and heads to save the people. As the people of High Tower flee towards safety, Jael keeps the enemy busy and the one last enemy, the leader of the 'Scripts, faces him. They fight and in the end, Jael gets wounded, badly. The 'Script leader dies. A New Dawn rises; dirty, exhausted people head to Elysium. Beautiful world opens in front of their eyes. Somewhere behind on the yellow field, Jael looks towards the sunrise and dies(?) alone; getting nothing, giving everything. The End.

blades are a good idea if there are no longer shops to loot for ammunition :-) I think that if someone has a gun and limited ammunition that he or she will think twice before using the gun. If the kill can be done by a knife or sword then that's preferred over 'wasting' a bullet

A New Dawn > Blog: Locations found for the filming
920 days ago | 3 Comments | 1 Thumb-up  

You gotta love Belgium (the country I live in) :-)

We have such an inefficient government that there are areas where they started building a highway or such and then ended the project.
Result: a bridge in the middle of nowhere.

The advantage is for project like A New Dawn they provide an excellent location for filming.

Here are some links to give you people an idea:

* http://www.nuttelozewerken.nl/werken.htm?werk=106 (at the end of real highway lies an unfinished bridge)
* http://www.9lives.be/forum/blogs/epyon/162-belgie-absurdistan.html (2 finished bridge in the middle of nowhere)
* http://www.nuttelozewerken.nl/werken.htm?werk=100 (bridge over a canal but no roads lead to it)
* http://mivbreiziger.skynetblogs.be/post/5976736/metro-leger-de-charleroi-of-wat-ervan-overbli (a never used metro)

I believe these locations are superb for A New Dawn, don't you think?

PS: test shoot went ok, I'll need some work though to make something out of the shot clips :-)
