Trem: The movie!

Cheerleader · Posted: Sat May 19, 2007 6:23 pm Post subject: Trem: The movie!

Coren, Nam and I did some talking, and we'd like to make a trem movie. ^_^ This means a movie made by recording videos ingame, splicing them and adding sound. We have a rough script, which isn't quite as funny as I'd like it to be. So I present it here for two reasons - I'd like comments/suggestions/improvements/additions, and I also want to know who's interested in volunteering (we need people to play the parts).
Also, I'm aware that this doesn't look very funny in script format, but I have no better way of writing it.

Trem: The movie! (For lack of a better title)
[Opening credits. Cliche music, a few hummies killing aliens heroically, with zoom-ins on their faces, and underneath written "(Cebt)Coren as John", "(Cebt)NaMrOrRiM as Bobby the dretch" and so on.]
[The movie takes place in Niveus. The scene opens in the standard human base, where a few hummies are shooting at some unseen aliens, and in the background we hear hummies getting slaughtered. The humans spawn in until they're all in the base. They gather into a semicircle and a leader.]
Hummie commander: Okay men, we're taking heavy losses out here! We need a plan. Jack, you take Mike and attack from the stairs, Dewey and Harvey attack through the four door room, and I'll look for eggspam! Got it?
[Soldiers nod.]
Narrator, or just text: Meanwhile, in the alien base...
[Fade to alien base in the window room, where a group of dretches are arranged just like the humans.]
Dretch commander: (Jumps and makes the dretch noise a lot.)
[The dretch team chirps or jumps in approval. They then all begin an attack, with incredibly dramatic and heroic music in the background. The camera follows the dretches all the way to the human base, as they jump off the walls and such. As soon as they get to the human base, they're faced with a line of turrets and all of the human team camping behind them. The dretches all die.]
Random hummie: Hey Sarge, what happened to that plan of yours?
Hummie commander: Ehh, camping is easier. They don't stand a chance against our turrets!!
Random hummie: Right, Sarge....
[Camera stays unmoving on camping hummies as they wait for the aliens to attack. For about 20 seconds. ^_^]
Random hummie: Uhh, Sarge, this isn't going anywhere.
Hummie commander: You're right, soldier. It's time for a different approach!
[Fade to that hallway room, where an engineer and a granger are standing.]
Granger: (Purrs and jumps) (Subtitled: You wanted to talk about a peace agreement?)
Engineer: Haha, you fool!
[Engineer pulls out a blaster and starts blasting the granger, who flees, crying "mommy!" or such. Coren would like to have a picture of Mr. T appear for about 3 seconds, with his "I pity da fool!". As soon as the granger leaves, a yelling tyrant runs in.]
[Scene changes to the hummie base, where everyone except the engineer is standing around, and the engineer spawns in.]
Engineer: Didn't work, guys. [assorted "darn"s] And now they're madder than ever. We need to prepare for a big attack!
[Humans buy weapons and jump over the turrets to prepare for the attack. This is done quickly. Scene change to a bunch of dretches and grangers evolving into big aliens and starting a massive attack.
This scene is built up as much as possible. The camera keep switches between the two teams, slower at first and faster after. The humans are standing not far from their base, reloading and "come on"ing, the aliens are pouncing, charging and roaring. The music reaches a crescendo as both the teams are in the same shot, the aliens charging the humans.]

Text on the screen: We interrupt this program for messages from our sponsors.
[The first commercial is a female basi talking about bad gas and advertising pepto bismol. I'd like it to be in atcs. The second is an advertisement for a show, "all my grangers". It can have an amusing scene or two with grangers in the living quarters of pulse.]
Text on the screen: We now return you to your program.

[Back to the shot of the charging aliens. When they're very close...]
Hummie (engineer?): NOW!!! Five to beam up!!
[The hummies fade away with the node effect, except for one guy ('cause there are six). Zoom in on that one guy.]
Mr. Screwed: Ohshit.
[Mr. Screwed gets mauled by the stampede.]

[News opening shtick.]
Tyrant anchorman (Wearing a tie! Very Happy

): Today we once again destroyed a human base, with millions, no, billions! of human casualties. We've proven once more that we are the superior race. In other news, the price of sausages has dropped, so get them while they're hot! And we're expecting some rain over at Ancient Remains. Have a good evening, everyone!
[While the anchorman is talking, there will be scrolling text at the bottom, with "additional" news stories.]
Scrolling text: Booster explodes, kills five --- The overmind needs spawns --- Thank you to the participants, (whoever helped).

Aaand, that's about it. I think we can pull it off in a funny way, but it could definitely use some improvement, and a lot more randomness. Well? Any thoughts?

how to do voiceovers? and needs a scene with noobs using nades on their base. with lucispam.

the Blasted! webcomic had a lot of this stuff, but it seems to be gone... im sure [SLAVE]Mietz would happily provide something to you though.

how about messages for the thing on the bottom of screen...

---the overmind needs spawns---the overmind is under attack--- the overmind is dying--- c'mon guys she needs your help---overmind is dead. aliens FTL!---

Cute. ^_^

The voiceovers aren't a problem, let us worry about the editing. We just need ideas and volunteers.
If you can fit the nade/lucispam idea into the plot somehow, then please do. >_> *can't think of a way*

ME HELP! I'd like to help with the script if I can. Ok, technically, Im not cebt yet, or just not, but I like the idea of this movie... Razz

edit: You should put AFKers in Razz

Hummie Commander, just after first speech:

Jimmy, you need to...

(cuts to jimmy as afk)

Jimmy? Jimmy?? JIMMY?!?

(jimmy starts to methodically shoot commander with rifle and yell 'come on', but then dissappears with pip sound)

(If someone can do overmind voice): The Overmind, is, goddamn horny... ooohhh yeah, shoot me there, shoot me there...

Oh! and you should have outtakes at the end! You should have like a granger whos half way doing an alien sound and then just starts laughing with east asian accent "Who did that! Huh? Comedian dretch over there, huh?" [swings to dretch, jumping repeatedly, "what, what? [laughs]"] "Stop it! [laughs] come on roll again, this shits not funny. [laughs again] Man he cracks me up..."

i got a deep voice that COULD be om XD but i wanna be mr.screwed!!!!! Rolling Eyes

and with the commander saying the plan, instead of the soldiers nodding (which is impossible) couldn't you have the "COME ON!!!" thing?

and isn't there some sort of law to be able to use people's maps or something? if so, i could ask Dasp for his ancient remains since i know him (not in real life but i talk to him sometimes)

Cheerleader · Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 5:54 pm Post subject:

Naw, I'm sure we can use any maps we want. It's all opensource, right?

I think the nodding is possible, too - if the players look up and down, the models should nod, no?

true, but their guns would be moving the most... lol.
