Here you can see the WIP for the ODST costume. and the new marine helmet.

Cardboard armor looks good,but still needs some details.

Forget about the under-armor: it was the only thing we were able to find today.

Tomorrow we will go out to buy some nice tactical vests to make our marines more "realistic" and we will continue to work on the "Thor" crew uniforms.

 

[Capestranus]

The following storboard deals with the arrival of the UNSC vessel "Thor" to the Forerunner RelicWorld.



The Alpha squad finds a crashed Spirit dropship and other little things...then,they discover the Artifact.

[HaloReplicas]

how are you going to act in the fanfilm, if you live in canada and capestranus lives in italia?

 

[old school dude]

You should use a program called "celtx" its a free screen writing program that you can get from celtx.com



Also you should fix your script writing structure to look more professional. Heres what I did to your first scene.

Introduction ,Chapter 0,scene 1 )

For the header, it should have if its "Ext." or "Int." which is short for exterior (outside) and interior (inside).

Second, a very short description of the area it takes place at. The shorter, the better. Third, if its night or day. Movies dont have chapters, they have episodes if thats what your going for. All you have to do is put a number next to each seen heading like so. Even then, its not necessary.



An example "1. Int. - road - day"

-Marine walking along a road,with the mountains behind him.

-A Scorpion tank passes in front of the sodier,who then runs towards a samll concrete tower.

ok so for scene description, you dont need dashes. just keep them how they are and to the right. They also dont need separate lines.

Marine A: <Jackson, come here,quickly! We have to move NOW!>(shouting at a marine inside the building)

For character dialogue, you should keep center both the name of the character which should be above the dialogue and the dialogue itself. And the description is not in parentheses. Its to the right and below the dialogue like so. (it looks bad on the forums but on a normal pice of paper, it looks good.



example:

Marine A

Jackson, come here,quickly! We have to move NOW!​

shouting at a marine inside the building

(from the point of view of Marine A,who is hidden behind a rock)

-Another marine get out of the tower,but he is followed by an Elite.

-The alien hit the marine,who falls off the ground.

-Marine A run away in panic,without seeing the fate of the other soldier.

This is all description and doesn't have to be distinguished as different from each other.



So the first scene should look like so:

1. Int. - road - day



Marine walking along a road,with the mountains behind him. A Scorpion tank passes in front of the sodier,who then runs towards a samll concrete tower.

Marine A

Jackson, come here,quickly! We have to move NOW!​

Shouting at a marine inside the building.



No answer.



Suddenly someone screams.

Screaming Person

BANSHEEEEEE!​

Marine A doesn't see anything in the sky,but he still hides himself behind the bilding.

Marine A

JACKSON,MOVE!​

A lone Banshee appear in the sky,aiming at the tower.

Marine A

F**K YOU!​

Runs away before the building explodes. The Banshee flies away. From the point of view of Marine A, who is hidden behind a rock. Another marine get out of the tower,but he is followed by an Elite. The alien hit the marine,who falls off the ground. Marine A run away in panic, without seeing the fate of the other soldier.
