[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] You guys are correct, it simply wouldn't do to have just straight CG for this project without some sort of human narrative to it. However, personally I'm wary of incorporating true fanfilm live action - all credit where it's due for trying, but I've not yet seen a fan live action piece that is sufficiently convincing in the TNG era. One reason fan films have stuck to the TOS era is that it's so much easier to create convincing sets, props and effects... I'd see the same here. While I (as director) have not ruled any live-action component out as yet, my idea revolves around instead creating a narrative mostly through background fleet chatter. Remember the haunting scene in "First Contact" which had the initial battle played out IN WORDS ONLY, and the effect seen on the faces of the bridge crew? That's what I have in mind, and we'll need the help of fans like yourselves to create that chatter. From readiness reports to damage reports, from the sounds of confident men and women charging into battle to the sounds of people dying and being assimilated, that's the way I want to principally create this story, to work around the CG shots of starships doing their thing. This allows us to incorporate existing audio clips of the Saratoga and Admiral Hanson, which will give the product some air of legitimacy. Additionally, a prologue to the film could be some 3D LCARS graphics laying out Hanson's original battle plan (perhaps the original presentation transmitted to each ship in the fleet before the fight?), letting viewers know what to expect - and how it goes to hell in very short order. Most fandom discussion accepts that the battle begins with the Saratoga's group as the first of several "waves" of ships. There's plenty of room in this fight for other squadrons of ships to attack from different angles and with different plans. As for how long the battle lasts (and as such, how long the product will be), do a search for "Wolf 359" on Flare for some answers. The beauty of this forum is that there has been a LOOOOOT of Wolf 359 disucssion here over the years, which will form much of the body of knowledge from which the script will be written.
