THIN BLUE LINE

A Grand Theft Auto IV Police Machinima

 

Officer Sean Blackwell is a 2-year veteran of the Liberty City Police Department, a recipient of the Award of Valor, has just transferred to the detective's division. Tonight is the last night of patrol duties for Blackwell, and retiring Detective Brandon Redmond is assigned to go on patrol with Blackwell to introduce him to the job by patrolling problem areas. At the start of the shift, a pursuit (see the video below) recording is shown to the officers to mark one year since Officer Harris' death. The suspect, a known mobster, is killed in the shoot out. The Chief of Police is expecting retaliation against the department, and that it would take place during the night of the one year anniversary of Officer Harris' death - And it holds true.

 

 The officers are immediately dispatched after the briefing is closed, interrupting their coffee plans. A dispatch that sets off the rest of the night's events, and reminds the officers of the number one rule to which they will be struggling with for the rest of the night: Go home safely at the end of the shift.

------------------------------------------------------

 

The Thin Blue Line is going to be a 20 minute (typical for TV shows) movie short of the above description. The script is in production, and the overall movie production stage is currently PRE-PRODUCTION.

 

This movie short will require a minimum of EIGHT main characters, one (female) dispatcher voice over, FIVE criminal main characters, and at least TWENTY extras. Applications have already been getting submitted, and we are opening up to a lot more areas to get even more applications. If you have no experience, now is your chance to create an audition to be a voice actor, video editor, music artist, or other type of video production position. See the information below.

 

I want to act, drive, shoot, you name it. But I really don't want to get my voice recorded.

Apply for "Player Actor" and do not apply for "Full Character" or "Voice Actor". You will portray your character in the game, where-as someone who cannot run GTA-IV smoothly will do the characters voice. Please, apply and see what happens! Your voice will NOT be recorded, as the recording computer will not be part of any voice-over-IP systems. The Director/Filmers will be using cell phones or extra computers (laptops) to record game-footage only!

 

I want to be a music composer, or provide music to this production.

That is excellent! Since this is a volunteer, non-profit production, with the sole purpose to serve as a "this is what we can do" video while still providing excellent entertainment, your music tracks will fit right in with this production. You will receive full credit, and we WILL use your tracks. The only exception is that you may have to change around your tracks to fit the video, so it is more fitting and smooth. You will also need to provide a copyright license to your tracks stating AT LEAST the following information: "Bluefyre Productions and Michael Harris are hereby authorized to use THIS/THESE TRACKS created by me FULL NAME, for the machinima production titled Thin Blue Line. Any distribution within the video itself, edit, removal, addition, or other changes are authorized. TODAY'S DATE". Your music and other contributions WILL NOT be used outside of Thin Blue Line.

 

So what does this have to do with LCPD:FR?

We will be using LCPD:FR to act out some of the scenes, and advertising this mod within the videos. If this production is done right (which I expect it to be, watch my video posted above), the production will be of high quality, entertaining in value, and very appreciated. This gains the video popularity, to include even making it on official channels such as IGN or Machinima. This would bring a LOT of popularity to the LCPD:FR mod.

 

So how does joining this production help me in being a better known music artist/actor/voice actor/etc?

Easy. This production is going to be excellent quality, and the first of it's kind, with a full script and a professional video editor. Everyone who joins this production receives full credit, and will be recognized if/and/when the video goes viral/large. If this production is done well, and makes it to a major channel, you are looking at an easy couple million views. Imagine your music being heard by two million people. You could get famous off of that type of recognition.

 

Okay, I'm sold, but speaking of sold, what about money/payment?

This is a volunteer assignment without pay. If I should earn money from this production, once the necessary expenses have been paid off (video editor software (not expensive), hidden expenses, etc), the income will be totaled up at the end of the month, and donated to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Fund at http://www.nleomf.com/ - If a huge amount of income is received (over $1000 monthly, highly unlikely), the first $1000 will be evenly divided up among everyone who played a part in this production based on their position and contribution, and anything in excess of $1000 will be donated to the NLEMF.

 

The application is at the top of this post.

Dispatchers are not always female, I could do it!

 

Oh I know, but I had a female friend voice a test for dispatch and it sounded way too good to pass up. I do plan to have two dispatchers, one for police and one for fire (There is a scene involving a fire/ems assist). As for right now though, the dispatcher role is female (or for anyone who can use a good voice changer/imitate a female).

 

Plus, I would like to have a cast that isn't all-male.

 

 

When will you end applications for this? I would enjoy being a player actor but my computer probably won't be fixed for a little while, and don't want to apply without my computer actually working for GTA.

 

 

Applications are EXPECTED to close on December 26th 2013, however, it all depends on when the script is finished and when I have access to my God-computer to record and edit once again (which would be no later than January 31st).

 

I expect to be fully ready to begin the actual production (fully staffed, etc) by January 31st.

 

The expected date I want to be completed is to be announced, but I want to be finished by mid-March so it can be released before April.

Is it possible I could apply for it now, but still not have my computer fixed possibly until Christmas or a short time after Christmas? Just to stand as a place holder? I really enjoy the idea of this film and it would be great to work in and with.

 

Go for it. Send in your app, and under "final notes" just put your expecting to be fully operational by the time we start production, or something. Or just put your "theninja35 - LCPDFR forums". Something to remind me who you are and that you are trying to be ready on time.

 

Thing is I wanna make a serious machinima, but it's a game, and it's a volunteer assignment. I need all the help I can get with it. We don't have to film the script in order of Scene 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10. If you're selected for a Scene 4 and 8 position, and you're the last person we're waiting on, we can film scenes 4 and 8 last.

Applications are still open! We currently have 11 apps in the system, and trust me, there are a lot more than 11 positions that we could fill.

 

For those of you that applied; Filming will start as scheduled as long as I have the proper computer delivered in time to do it. If we don't have enough extras, we can film everything else in the mean time.
