Hey Everyone! I am posting this here because I want to get as many people involved from the 405th as I can, and it seemed right to post it in the Colonial Regiment since all of our film will be made in PA or surrounding area.

TITLE
As you probably could have guessed, the name of the film will be "Evanescent: A Halo Fan-film". The reason this name was chosen was because the word Evanescent means "soon passing out of sight, memory, or existence; quickly fading or disappearing." and it will be used in a key point of the film where the Spartans mention how they are all evanescent except for the Chief.

PLOT
The time period is after Master Chief and Blue Team get reunited after Halo: Escalation #10. The plot of the story goes like this;

Four Spartans on Fireteam Codex are dropping via ODST drop pods down to a new forerunner world. There are other teams dropping too. Blue Team led by Master Chief is dropping towards a different part of the planet. The drop pods hit some rubble in the in the orbit of the planet while coming down. Chief's Drop Pod gets shot off course and is sent towards FTC (Fireteam Codex). Chief's pod knocks another Drop pod off course ( he/she will be Spartan #4 until someone thinks of a name).Chief ends up landing with FTC and far away from Blue Team. Pelicans are having a rough time getting down to the planet because of the rubble. Chief teams up with FTC to find the Spartan that got knocked off course. Spartan #4 isn't very far away, so they decide to hoof it over there. *Que obvious bad guys* Surprise surprise the Covenant have been here and are still here. They fight their way to the Drop Pod and find the spartan dead. They give him a cheesy Darth Vader style funeral by burning his body and the armor so the covenant don't acquire the technology that he has on him. They then proceed to the Terminal where they were originally supposed to go. The team arrives and they get the intel out of the terminal, and then they leave via Pelican (the one that finally made it down to the planet).

PLAN
The script is underway and will hopefully be finished within two weeks by the script team.

The filming will begin in August due to the fact that we have at least 3 costumes to build along with a terminal and an ODST Drop Pod.

We want a finished product by May of next year. That will give us plenty of time to shoot the film and get the VFX and editing done. The film will be around an hour long.

What's left
We still are looking for as many actors as possible. We are looking for people who look like Spartans to play the roles. There will be helmet on and helmet off scenes if you are interested. If anybody has a suit and wants to film with us in their own suit, we would love that. We will be having a Halo 3 scene as a prelude. It will feature the Marine team fighting (Along side of a Spartan if anyone would be willing to donate some time in their Halo 3 suit).

We need someone who knows what they are doing in VFX. We were planning on learning how to use Adobe After Effects so we could do the needed VFX. But if anyone has any experience and would like to toy around with the video, it would be greatly appreciated. We have all the sounds and such covered.

We could use any extra props and weapons in this film as possible. The team has a 3d printer available for weapons and such if necessary.

We could also use more area to shoot the film. We only have several acres of wooded area to film on. Any extra places to film would be great. Also any set ideas are needed too.

Any criticism on the plot is appreciated. All new ideas will be considered.

We want to make as few suits as possible, so if you have a suit and would like to play a part in the film, let us know.




We want as many people on the team as possible. If you think you have anything to offer, even just some advice or if you want to act or have your own suit and would be willing to film. Or if you have somewhere where we can film. Let us know! We want to involve anyone and everyone who wants to help.
