A short film/showcase, 10 minutes in length, exhibiting the happenings that brought about the demise of Nipton.
-Scene 1: (a mod already exists). I’m thinking about doing a brief “pre war†look over nipton and New Vegas in general. Really short while the credits go on screen. Then some old radio/news loops about nuclear war and panning into a tv that is showing old news reels and the atomic bombs explodes on the tv by the time its fully zoomed in. “Lucker Losers†title nice somewhere.
-Scene 2: Nipton just before the Powder Gangers come in. (no indoor shots, just a few outdoor) Kids playing at the trailer park, the mayor standing on the steps of the town hall and the powder gangers walking in. Would be nice if I could get a shot of a powder ganger pointing at Nipton in the distance to one of his buddies. Mayor in his office sitting down with a powder ganger, explosives on the table with a gun and maybe some caps. A little scene striking a deal between the powder gangers and the mayor.
-Scene 3: (Fully modded, pre Legion. Mono is working on this). Powder Gangers gambling in the town hall. Prostitution going on ( a single room with a woman laying on the bed staring towards the door and a line of powder gangers out the door in different positions standing against the wall, leaning over, bored, waiting “their turnâ€... fading to scene where the head mistress is in her room sitting at a table counting her caps with a clipboard and a pistol next to it (this could actually be the same room set up differently. The way that I pan the video would be good. If the prostitues door could be closed that be great so I can pull the camera through the keyhole to where the guys are standing outside. This will also allow for you to choose any wall that you want to set powder gangers up outside of it as I can do some camera magic. They don’t actually need to be standing outside of the same door as the room that the woman is in). Powder Gangers buying chems in the drugstore. Powder gangers harrassing the towns people outside and the kids no longer playing at the trailer park.
-Scene 4: Legion on the mountain side looking at Nipton with bincoculars. One pointing at the town. War dogs, good 10 to 20 legionaries. Legion standing at the town hall steps after walking in slowly up the center of town. The mayor meets the head legion guy with the dog headdress. THey go inside together and sit in the same office that the mayor had once sat with the powder ganger leader in. A lot of caps put on the table. If the mayor is able to “smile†that would be perfect. The legion always with a blank stare. Not sure if there are animation mods that could do the smile. Legion walks away in the distance with a couple of powder gangers sitting around looking at them as they walk away (camera angle will be behind the powder gangers head)
-Scene 5: More gambling. More chem buying. Mayor alone in office counting money. Different prostitute, young girl if possible (needs to look bad, but nothing nude.. You want to be disturbed by how the town is being run)... and the mayor is then standing next to his window looking out and you see the legion in the distance (i can mask around windows so there is no need for them to be transparent). Legion with like 50 people or whatever doens’t crash the game lol. Mayors hand extended to the floor and caps all around him as if he just dropped them.
-Scene 6: Legion is killing powder gangers while rounding them up and the towns people. Show the legion in the town, in the town hall, in the trailer park homes, in the drug store. (they can fight as I could freeze time and get the shot sthat I need. I would just have to do it a few times over to get the right ones).
-Scene 7: Towns people and powder gangers are in a group outside in the center of town while crosses are being nailed together on the ground behind the legion leader talking (very nonchalantly … like putting the crosses together is no big deal). Another scene where Legion leaders hand is up with a ticket in it. (I can pull off some movie magic stuff if we can’t get a ticket in the hand but his arm would have to be raised)
-Scene 8: someone tries to run and is shot. If there is anyway to simulate panic/crying, but still staying in the group it would be great. Legion still very calm, still working on crosses. A box is set down next to the legion leader and this will have the loterry tickets in it. It would be nice to see tickets in different colored hands, different ages. I can do video of just the tickets in different peoples hands (no faces needed, just outside and the same lighting).
-Scene 9: some people being beaten to death 1 by 1. The black powder ganger that is in the drug store having his legs broken with a sledge hammer. And then finally people starting to be nailed to the crosses still laying on the ground.
-scene 10: the fires start: Some crosses are already erect and people are hanging. Other crosses are up at an angle (can be still/frozen manikin like characters) pushing the crosses up (or looking like they are pushing them up, again, still images/models are fine). The fires get bigger (different esp’s if needed, and as many that are needed is fine throughout the entire process. I can just switch back and forth, load a different plugin, get the shot, load the next one, so on).
-Scene 11: Beheading of the mayor with the people on the crosses in the background. A few more beheadings (again, can be still shots. Machete in Legion hand, people being put down on some form of chopping block or chair, or whatever looks good). Then some close ups of legion members holding a head in their hand and a few different heads on spikes around the town hall
-Scene 12: some of the legion members walk away with the town blazing on fire while the other legion members are gathering around the town hall.
-Scene 13: final scene… Nipton is scene from a pair of binoculars in the distance. Ranger Ghost from the NCR outpost (is there a way to make her look through her binoculars?) .. and this is where the courier first heras about nipton… movie over
Please ask questions. Any and all about specific things. Its too much to type for every little piece but I will answer anything. You can also email me if its too much here GamerPoetsNews@gmail.com
I am on task to create a 10 minute video titled "Lucky Losers". This video will be a showcase/short film like episode about Nipton. It will show how Nipton was being operated before the Legion came into the picture, a short scene of the "Pact" between the Legion and Nipton's Mayor , to the Legion marching in and the entire Lucky Loser scenario (homes being burnt, people being put on crosses, so on) finally ending just before the Courier arrives.
This video (and others like it) will be created to work alongside my future (this Fall hopefully) Lets Roleplay New Vegas series.
MonoAccipiter is already working on some of the modding that needs to be accomplished. This does not need to be a large/polished mod, in fact its going to be a large number of small, polished visually for the camera set of mods. Mono suggested that I reach out to folks so I thought why not do so here on STEP and see if anyone is interested. If anyone is I will post a set of bullet points with explanations as to what needs to be done. The goal is to have this video finished by September (earlier if possible) but whenever it's able to be created with all of the mods established. If you are interested let me know =) We could use all of the help we can get. Since I am very new to mod creation and have a rough overview of it all but not a lot of experience I am going to leave it up to Mono as to what the best work flow would be concerning the mod creation part of the project. We don't need 100's of people but a few would really help out.
Everyone will be credited on screen. If you have links that you would like to have in the video description it will be done as well.
