Alright, until we get somewhere better to do this, we’ll be talkin thru the project here.
Any one whos interested in joining up, post links to your work here…
Yeah, carry on…
-raises hand-
I’m here.
what is this Second Heist? explain. now. why. am. i. typing. like. a. speak-and-spell?
raises hand
me too.
oh, wait.
its a community short project(movie)
there be another one, the main feature. Were working on planning it now,
And weve got enough people to keep it going 
Really like the model free_ality. It’s a good start. Just wondering tho, would’nt it be logical if the story was happening during daylight (don’t think this was discussed)? Banks arent open at night, not here anyway. But I reckon it would fit better for the noir look you talked about.
Also, I might have a few suggestions for the story, mostly for the ending. I will wait till there’s better for this kind of discussion.
My account works now on blenderprojects.com even tho I never received confirmation that the admin activated it. I see nobody created a thread there yet. Want me to make one? Maybe Enriq can create a section on the forum called “Second Heist” and move that thread there later.
oh, yeah, this is just a pre vis model but thanks.
It will actually be happeining on a rainy afternoon…
And yeah, weve been trying to contact somebody for a blenderporjects thread… no luck yet…
The script and character description
The Second Heist – Script
Michael Kim
Lightning
Pan down to front of bank
Car drives up to Bank in the rain.
Headlights dim.
Inside, robber pulls up parking brake, puts on gloves, opens glove compartment, and pulls out a gun.
He loads the gun, lowers the window, and aims out the window.
He shoots and the transformer explodes
He opens car door, leaps out, and as he runs to the bank puts on a ski mask.
He kicks down the front entrance the bank and shoots twice into the air.
Robber: This is a robbery! Everyone down on the ground now! [grabbing Old Lady and looking to guards] Drop your weapons! Now!
Throws bag at teller
Robber: Fill it.
Teller: [frantically] I-I can’t—it won’t—
Robber raises gun, cocks, and fires. Cash register explodes. Screams from the crowd.
Robber: Any heroics and y’all get it, y’hear?
Teller fills the bag with trembling hands. Robber snatches it out and runs outside with Old Lady.
Robber throws Old Lady into back seat and slams the door closed.
Robber starts car, puts car into gear, drives off.
They are on the road. Cars are passing them from the other direction, and the window wipers are running.
Lady: [calmly] I don’t think you’ll hurt me.
Robber: [glancing through mirror] So, you don’t think I’d shoot a lady?
Lady: [smiling] No, I just don’t think you’ll ever get the chance.
Robber: [shifting in his seat] What makes you so confident?
Handgun cocks (off-screen). Robbers hands tighten on the wheel.
Lady: Stop the car.
Robber curses repeatedly under his breath as he complies. Glances in the mirror, and sees the gun. Orchestra hit-minor chord, quick zoom in.
Black and white reprise: Robber kicks down door of bank. Jump to when he grabs Old Lady. When he grabs her, slow motion. Instant replay, except this time zoomed into her hip, where one can distinctly see a gun as her jacket flies open momentarily.
Robber: So what is an old lady doing carrying a gun into a bank?
Cut back to car.
Old lady smiles.
Lady: Why, the same thing you are…Robbing one.
Cut to distant view of outside of car.
Gunshot simultaneously as lightning strikes in background.
Blackout.

By the way, all this is copyrighted by me.
I’ve got to look at some of the Creative Commons licenses to see which one I want to use.
Great, thanks man.(PS, Im on blenderprojects now…)
I might want to join this…but not anything major, maybe just model some coins and cash and other misc. objects…
p.s.
oh, what year is this taking place? 'cause we’ve got to be a little historically accurate. you know, no cell phones, high - tech weapons, fast cars, or anything fun
um…hmm/… Early to mid 1900s…
well, how about 1928? - before the stock market crash - when everyone was rich
nah, because the guy is forced to rob the place because he’s in such bad financial state…
hm, ok - well, lets go with 1939 - i think that’s when the depression was mostly over. maybe early '40s?
edit - ok, all signed up
yeah, that sounds about right…
hey guys, i can model the car if you’s want? maybe the outside of the bank and some of the street…
any one want me to do this just PM with something to start on
hey man, just PMed you…
ok, for the money, here’s something I found - from around the time this is taking place-
http://www.govmint.com/countrylistings/northamerica/usa/wwiilibcurr.aspx
there is a button to “take a closer look”
that should be a reasonable texture for our ones
