RainDreamer Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 I would cast them as themselves, since getting human to look like kerbals are pretty hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think OP might be talking about voice acting, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dispatcher Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I was thinking of makeup and special effects. Gary Burghoff as one of the scientists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I mean not just voice acting, but like James Cameron's Avatar-esque CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooNamedGames Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I actually considered making one, and I'd love to direct one if I could. I do have a story and more set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mycroft Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think a feature length animated movie about the history of the Kerbals would be hilarious. Whoever did it should work in conjunction with SQUAD though. But that would be soooo awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAL 9000 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Of course Jeb would be Matt Damon, haven't you seen The Martian? Mark Watney is Jeb in human form. "Iron Man, Commander. Iron Man." "I'm gonna have to science the s**t out of this." "My AMAZING BOTANY POWERS!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd reach the same conclusion. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use: Quote Examples of fair use in United States copyright law include commentary, search engines, criticism, parody, news reporting, research, and scholarship. About the only thing in there that sounds even close is the parody clause. But I don't think that's what we're discussing here. There's been a history of IP-holders tolerating non-profit fan content, but that doesn't mean that it's legally protected. Look at what Paramount has stipulated for Star Trek, and Nintendo's reaction to literally anything that references their IP for examples of what I'm talking about.

Look at what our world has come to where people can't even show their interest in a company's work with no profit and yet still be the bad guy. Ah well. One more reason to hate this civilization we've created. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a non-profit group that wouldn't even reach 100 views on its sole viewing source, YouTube? The answer is no. They'd never give it to such a pathetically small group. We're not Robert Rodriguez, the next minimal cost setup movie director, we're a bunch of people with a few quarters in our back pocket wanting to make something for fun and to show our appriciation to the creators, whom as I said, would never go for it.

ZooNamedGames Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'll make a thread for it once the message has been sent to Squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mycroft Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 If you would be willing to just post the request letter in like a spoiler before you send it, I would be really happy. And hey, as far as views, be optimistic! If it's any good, then I will certainly tell everyone I know about it! You'll get more than a hundred views! Also, I think it would be easier to make it computer animated, rather than with actors and costumes and stuff. Like the Warcraft, or Angry Birds, or Clash of Clans movies, or any movie based on a game. Not to mention that you can make huge explosions without actually endangering anybody. And that's a key part of the Kerbal culture, explosions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
