Hey all, long time fan here. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this little project I'm involved in. A live action G1 film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-bdy-zggkU here are some pictures
You can't really tell though there's nothing to scale against. You could say Prime is 8 feet tall or 800 feet tall and I'd have to just take your word for it. Still the point stand the suit/suit actors look like the old 90s Ninja Turtles movies. I really like the costumes though esspecially Ratchets.
GOOD! and thank you! thats exactly the point. Trying to design costumes that still look like the cartoons, but also real life was a challenge.
Question: just for the sake of "not spoiling the magic" and making sure the actors aren't seen, how are the actors inside the suits costumed? Also, do you plan to release this on any physical format?
palmdale, and later Lancaster, yup!!! the suits are fit to the person in them. so the girl we have at ratchet is little, prime is a tall guy, etc. we look out of the eyes.
and yes, we hope so. Were still in principal photography, and started post. Gonna shoot vehicle stuff next.
not sure if were gonna film over there for the vehicle stuff or planes....we shall see. Im curious as to any feedback. stuff youd like to see, stuff you dont. wondering about possible humor useage (which will happen no doubt, since wheeljack is involved)... I took liberties with directing the voices of the characters. most notibly changing wheeljacks slightly and shockwave compleatly
Prime Bumblebee Megatron Starscream Shockwave Ratchet Laserbeak Ironhide Prowl Thundercracker Sludge Cliffjumper Blaster and 4 cassettes Theres a possibility that Hound could be involved, but not sure yet
As for release... not sure. Looking into film festivals and the cons (sdcc, pcc, slcc, Dcc) sxsw and so forth. We obviously cant charge for it, so were looking into the properformat, but totally open for suggestions. How would you want it released?
