Okay, so some of you guys may remember a while ago when I made the thread "Write a Television Series!" (https://forum.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=164906567&PageIndex=1) Well, a series is a HUGE task to undertake and it kinda fell apart due to inactivity from a lot of people. As a result, I have decided to do the same thing, except with a film. This should be MUCH easier.




I think...





Essentially, this is how this thread will work:

PHASE ONE:

We will start out in the idea stages. Basically what will happen is that you, the commenters, will submit ideas you have for a full-length feature film. From these, I will conduct a group vote. The top two ideas will then advance to the final round, where the heads of my company (me, BugaMeister, and coollegodude1) will decide on the final winner. This idea will then be the basis for a new RP.

PHASE TWO:

We will then begin the RP. The only request I have is to only use original characters unless the plot demands otherwise. Also, please know that anything your character does could make it into an actual ROBLOX film in one form or another.

At a certain point, the RP will end with a (hopefully) strong conclusion.

PHASE THREE:

If this project is a success, then I will start the cycle over again with another PHASE ONE. While this is in progress, my company will work with the main participants of the previous story to write a fully-fledged screenplay. Filming will begin soon after, and the final product will be released sometime later. Don't worry; I'll be sure to credit everyone who helped to weave the story together.


And that's about it! I realize that in the last one, there were some issues with trying to fill in a set of roles built for a main cast (ex. In 12 Infinity, we needed a main villain, the twelve heroes, and their wise old mentor.). In this version, I would like these plots to focus more on a set-up for a story rather than something requiring these types of roles. (However, if you think you can make it work, go ahead!)

You may start submitting your stories now. Please use this template:

YOUR USERNAME:
FILM NAME:
BASIC PLOT:
GENRE:
TARGET AUDIENCE:

Everything else should be determined by the RP itself. Please try to create exciting plots, as these will guarantee a better chance of getting your story produced.

Happy writing!

This sounds magnificently fun! I plan to write out an idea tonight. Quick question: If you selected a film idea other than mine, could I possibly try out for that cast, or would you prefer a set of close friends to fill in the roles?

Are you going to be treating it like a real TV show? With written scripts and such? If so, I'd suggest a writer's room instead of a RP

@Adelli

The whole point of this thread is to combine two large communities: filmmakers and RP'ers. Your storytelling skills and our skills in the cinematic arts can be combined to create something truly beautiful.

The resulting RP of this thread will inspire a script, which will be written by its own main participants including myself. The script will be based on the RP, so there is no need for going to the the Writer's Room.

Please submit if you haven't already! If we only have two to work with, I'll poll some ROBLOXiwood members for their own submissions.
