If this is a trailer for an actual movie you think they wouldn't announce that?really looks like a trailer for a movie, maybe it's happening?
It's kind of you to clarify, because they sure as hell don'tAs I stated in the OT. This is NOT a trailer or "Short Story", this is a Demo Reel, they will utilize this to try to get funding to make a movie.
From Neill Blomkamp, Oats Studios and BioWare comes a live-action story of survival set in the world of Anthem, decades before the events of the game.
As I stated in the OT. This is NOT a trailer or "Short Story", this is a Demo Reel, they will utilize this to try to get funding to make a movie.
Says who?As I stated in the OT. This is NOT a trailer or "Short Story", this is a Demo Reel, they will utilize this to try to get funding to make a movie.
This is not how you build a pitch. You either make a sizzle reel (https://youtu.be/92cVd9HalHs), scene, or a short film. This is first and foremost an advertisement.As I stated in the OT. This is NOT a trailer or "Short Story", this is a Demo Reel, they will utilize this to try to get funding to make a movie.
A real trailer for a fake movie.
What's weird/frustrating about it is there's some compelling imagery in there: this girl being found wandering the wild, her living in Fort Tarsis and eventually piloting an Interceptor and encountering the Anthem, some sort of betrayal of the community by that one dude, except it's all completely vague, and we know the actual game isn't set up to have this kind of cinematic storytelling in the open world. So all this does is paint a misleading picture of the game's narrative style, and tease a story we'll never see or learn any more about?
That something longer is the game. Enjoy that 100+ hrs of play time.It looks like the trailer to something longer... I'm confused.
"The amount of shooting time and how much imagery you have to actually capture into three minutes to make it feel legitimate is exponentially more work than you think it would be," Blomkamp says.
"I wrote two 10-page scripts, going off of the idea that a page is roughly a minute," he explains. "I was proposing 20 minutes of footage, which was way beyond the budget scope we were dealing with. So I eventually condensed everything into one 10-page script and everyone was like, 'Dude, it's a three-minute piece. You can't hand in a 10-page script.' I was like, 'No, it has to be 10 pages because we don't know what's gonna live and what's gonna die in the edit room.' We have to overshoot it in order to make it feel like a trailer so we can pick the best pieces. We can't know that until the footage exists."

so this has nothing to do with the game, and is not tied to any series/movie currently in production.
without sounding ungrateful, is there any reason I should care about anything that I just watched?
Honestly, it's the usual you can expect from Blomkamp.Don't overthink this video. It's a whole bunch of pretty looking nothing.
Well, much like Blomkamp did with the Halo 3 commercials then, which were supposed to be "tests" for the Halo Movie, which never came, but was spinned into District 9.As I stated in the OT. This is NOT a trailer or "Short Story", this is a Demo Reel, they will utilize this to try to get funding to make a movie.
Conviciton, Anthem... Why are all these titles so fucking bad and boring?
Great Trailer, but are we getting a real short movie, or is this it?
