Thank you for the explanation of a glock I was perusing through those sights you mentioned, Micheal; the characters are all young...Are we not able to use elderly characters?
I would say you could have older characters like in their 50s but if you start getting to wizened old men or ancient swamp witches then there isn't going to be a character for that.
There were some unusual heads introduced, not old but monsters and aliens.
This is close as we possibly can get to a real writing assignment. It is supposed to be a challenge after all.
I don't really see how it limits your imagination at all. As a matter of fact it makes you use your imagination and creativity all the more in order to write something interesting with those parameters.

Yeah i understand that Michael, and its good to have something different.
I had some good ideas but hadn't seen the parameters for the machima stuff. It sorta halted me a bit. I'm sure a few other people would feel the same too.
If we ignore the limits of the tech stuff, you might need two sections.
what is the purpose of the concept video? are we supposed to stick to that or is that just there for our enjoyment?
And are we to pick one of the genres, is that what I am to understand?
Sorry for these questions. I sort of new to participating on the board and I'm definitely new to this...
Six of the shorts will be turned (with the owners permission) into the Dark, a moviestorm "mini-series" if you will. It's just a concept example. You don't have to stick to the specific ideas contained within, as far as I know.
You just have to write an 8-12 page script in one or all of the mentioned genres.
The moviestorm software has some inherent limitations, so it's best to avoid certain things (see above).
The purpose of the video is to give you a feel for the anticipated mood of the anthology and the concept behind the anthology - in this case 6 authors 6 stories 6 episodes. The ambience is dark and these are all night time scenes, some threatening, some exciting, some perplexing and some amusing. All of the sections become a thread connected by The Dark (or shadows or black).
(Don't mind me, it's late here and I'm about to turn in.)
But something like that would be used as a tool to pitch the series.
As far as the genre goes, yeah, pick one or mix them. It's up to you.
Do we have to pick the genre when we're submitting the script or are they all labeled the same as usual?
Also, define "animal." I saw quite a few nonhuman creatures in that video.
I'm not sure I understand the first question.
For the second question, there are nonhumans but they are still have the proportions of a human. So they have a non-human head but on a bipedal human like body - think someone in a costume.
I just took a look at the submission form and basically answered my own question. So I'll just rephrase it. Say you submitted a straight horror or straight sci-fi script. Would the genre show up as such in the script thread or will they all be labeled as "horror, supernatural thriller, fantasy or science fiction?" After seeing the form, I guess it doesn't really matter but I'm curious nevertheless.
