Dear Terragen artists, I want to add a dramatic visual opening to my 75 minute pirate feature film. The film is my own self funded, written and directed first feature about as boy who gets Elijah's miracle working cloak to prevent Elijah, disguised as a pirate, from destroying the son of God rising from the dead. The opening is to feature a fly over lasting 90 seconds starting from the inside of a cave in the Sinai mountain, over the desert, over the beach, over the seas along side the golden hind ship on the sea, over the beach over the hills of Europe, over a church in an ice lake and into the clouds 10 seconds. I will add the artists whose work I use on IMDB. The film ,made on a micro budget is produced at a professional level – the trailer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ0pJWPoMnY. If you would like to grant me permission to use your shot in the film I would be interested to hear from you as I don't have any budget for this shot. Some films like this have gone on to become cult films and do well.. I have spoken with Oshyan and he recommended I post the opportunity on the forum. The film stars Huggy leaver and is in HD and mixed in 5.1 surround sound. I will show it at a festival and in the cinema in Cambridge next year.
The film begins with a conversation between god and his prophet Elijah 3000 years ago. Elijah is inside the dark cave in the top of the Mount Sinai also known as Horeb in Israel. During the conversation, God says he will send his son to earth to die for the people and turn gods people back to him. Elijah says he will become a pirate and sacrifice Gods son so that God's plan can be for filled.But Elijah gets carried away, and in the comedy adventure film, as a Pirate, he gets carried away, and he tries to destroy Gods son's dead body from raising from the dead, so that he, Elijah will be ruler.
Using a wide lens 18mm and creating a fly over at a smooth straight fly over I would like to commission a Terragen created fly over Starting from inside the almost black dark cave inside the top of mount Sinai (where Elijah is we don't see him) we (or camera) travel slowly at first from inside the dark cave for 10 seconds then out from interior of the cave (without looking left or right or up or down.) out above twighlight and misty mount Sinai. We continue travelling for 10 seconds at a smooth speed with the mountain below and left behind us.
As we then continue the fly over the desert at the same speed for 10 seconds here is an example I have looked at which is not my work but is a good place to start
http://vimeo.com/7893914 . During this desert fly over the camera descends to 2 metres above the ground and travels for 10 seconds over a rocky shore and over the quite rough sea with wind blowing and is misty (still just before the white sunrise). We travel out in a straight line 10 seconds flying 2ft over the surface of the misty twighlight sea coming up behind a to a galleon (the Golden Hinde/ Hind ship galley) which is black and has no sails or men aboard. Here's an example of another persons work not mine, suing terragen which is a good starting point (except it needs to be the golden Hinde without sails and travelling out to sea)
http://vimeo.com/34682546. I also enclose an attachment of a Danny Gordon image, which isn't my work, but close to what Im looking for ( with no sails) we come alongside the galleon on its left side (as it faces away from us travelling out to sea). We travel alongside the galleon for 10 seconds then picking up speed and height again, continue for a further 10 seconds away from the galleon in the direction it was facing to the next shore, over the misty sea (as the white sun rises off camera to our left) and the camera rises to 30 metres high.
The camera then travels over a European beach (still in mist) for 10 seconds (the shore is in the 16th century in peak district and without any people or buildings) and continues a fly over moderately hilly England for 10 seconds. we then flyover forward and descending to 10 metres over a castle) for 10 seconds (see the attached file 'lake-a4' and 'my black church' created by Jim Long) 'castle on a small island in the middle of a frozen lake surrounded by a curved cliff of rock) and we fly over it and onwards over the rocky hills and we ascend upwards for 10 seconds as the camera rises into the clouds.
I hope you will be interested to create a part of this shot and I hope to hear from you soon. The deadline for the work is the 30th January 2014 as a HD 1920 x 1280 resolution Mov Pro res or equivalent file.
Kindest regards Lewis
