New Yorkers with 5D – Iron Sky needs... no, wants you!

Part of Iron Sky story takes place in the Greatest City in the World – New York!

For that, we've shot carefully handpicked locations all over the world, but we've never actually had the possibility to shoot in New York itself. But to be able to create the illusion of actually being in New York, we need to attach New York backgrounds to shots we've shot in post production. And to attain these clips, we need your help.

Here's the list of things we need – difficulty level adjusted according to the Greatest Game in the World – Doom!

LEVEL 1: I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE
This one's the easiest – we need you to go on the streets of New York, and shoot all or one of the following shots:

United Nations Building – Wide Lense, Low Angle shot; imagine you're photographing the Tower of Mordor.

Manhattan skyline, from approximately eye level, in the night time

Manhattan skyline, from approximately eye level, in the daytime

These are just photographs.

Perk: You will be publicly thanked in our Iron Sky Signal -show.

...and, if your shot is used in the film, you'll be credited under Additional Photography -credits in the credits.

LEVEL 2: HEY, NOT TOO ROUGH
This one's not too bad, either, but this time, it's semi-video – we need time lapse photos of sun rising over New York as shot from a) your window b) your rooftop c) whatever location that's high / interesting enough and you have an access to.

We will use these clips as part of a time change montage over New York.

Perk: You'll receive a signed War Bond as a thanks for your War Effort.

...and, if your shot is used in the film, you'll be credited under Additional Photography -credits in the credits.

LEVEL 3: HURT ME PLENTY
For this one, you're going to need a car and a 5D. We need some driving plate shots for our poor man's process -shots of New York – especially in Brooklyn or other areas outside of Manhattan (but still well within the main city limits). We need three kind of shots.

Video shot from the back of the car, driving the streets of New York in the day.

Video shot as straight up as possible through the windshield in the daytime.

Video shot from the back of the car, driving the streets of New York in the night.

This material we'll use as back plates for our driving shots. See the attached file for clear instructions.

Perks:
You'll receive the Iron Sky Support Kit!

...and, if your shot is used in the film, you'll be credited under Additional Photography -credits in the credits.

LEVEL 4: ULTRA-VIOLENCE
For this one, a 5D isn't enough – you're going to need to have an access to a RED camera(we need 4k material). We need you to go around the city, and film interesting things. Interesting people, interesting events, interesting traffic – in a very urban environment, preferrably in Manhattan. All kind of shots are highly approved, wide and tight, atmospheric, funny or threatening, just as long as they're well describing and establishing we're in New York.

We're using the material in order to create a similar “establishing sequence” as the opening sequence of Die Hard 3 and Phone Booth.

Perks:
You'll receive the Iron Sky Collector's Edition DVD (when it's out).
You'll receive the Iron Sky Support Kit!
You'll receive a signed War Bond as a thanks for your War Effort.

...and, if your shot is used in the film, you'll be credited under Additional Photography -credits in the credits.

LEVEL 5: NIGHTMARE
For this, you need a) an access to a helicopter b) a RED camera and c) possiblity to film over Manhattan. We need top shots of New York to be used as part of the footage of the Nazi Invasion. This shoot would need to take place during nighttime, and we need high angle shots of you circling over Manhattan.

To be honest, I'm not sure if this is even legal nowadays, and that anyone would be willing to spend time doing this, but if you are about to do it, before going out, give us a holler – we'll fill you in detail on what kind of shots we need so we don't end up wasting your time.

...and, if your shot is used in the film, you'll be credited under Aerial Cinematography -credits in the credits. You'd very probably be the only one under this credit.
