Thinking of making a movie...

[makkyo]

(this has already been posted in the Entrance Hall, but I think this thread fits here as well)

I'm getting caught on the movie-making fever that seems to be infecting every corner of the internet, so I guess I'll bring it here.
I've already make a couple films using Halo 2, which is fun... but the Halo community severely lacks cognitive skills. Any movie with that would include simple tactics at best and is usually humor/action oriented. Which brings me here. I would like to use the Rome: Total War engine for some sort of film, whether it be a guide (basic tactics), a faq (possible, but hightly impractible), a history lesson (would be stepping on the History channel's toes), or some sort of custom movie highlighting the different members of the Org. The later I like the most. It could be a simple guide, yet be funny at the same time. Maybe different moderators can be the hosts of the show, or different generals of each army.
Any ideas? I'd like as much imput as possible with this one.

If you wanted to be bitingly cynical, you could make a movie about the deficiencies of vanilla RTW combat...

"A Day in Teh Life of a Roman Soldier" or something. Using voiceover, cover the [mis]adventures of a simple hastatii as he fights the dreaded Elephants of People-Punting, the terrible Chariots of Death, and the futuristic Ptolemaic Terminators (those darned Egyptians). Sadly, the list can go on with an "ETC".

Please share the movie when it's done! ~:cheers:

Maybe Marius (of the Reforms) could be your spokesman? Or perhaps he could be the "spokesman down the line" and you guys are all looking for him? Perhaps a movie about how to trigger the Marius Reforms?

OK Peasants, get that building built NOW!

Maybe the Romans would act like complete "n00bs" and do terribly in battle etc. But then Marius shows up and kicks the Leigons into shape? I could make the movie depict RTW online play this way as well. Make people use various internet slang and the like.
"I just pwned you stupid n00b - ok I'll be right there in just a minute mom"
that kind of thing. Some more funny lines would be cool too.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

That would be funny. Ever see Red Vs. Blue? Something kinda like that could be pretty funny. But be careful not to over-emulate...

You're looking at a RvB fanatic. :bow:

*another funny thought*
After winning a heroic and desprate battle against the barbarian horde, the map suddenly resets. The Barbarians are back full force, the general has to fight the battle all over again. He gets fed up with this pointless struggle over the same random piece of land, and decides to negociate with the barbarians after fighting the battle several times. The germans then ambush the general and throw the heads of his unit back at his army, which runs away.
(I'm thinking this all on the spot)
