It seemed like a perfect day for filming.
OOC
TEAM GRAVEYARD SHIFT
- All players assembled are part of this team! Please pick a role. Remember there can only be a MAX of one person in that role with the exception of MAX THREE actors, so if someone has already picked some role, please pick another. Please post in OOC your character's role!
- Pick up the role that responds to your characters! Your goal is to make this as SPOOKY AS POSSIBLE by using various commands. Roll the dice that corresponds to the command and add how many SPOOKY POINTS that command generated. By doing this all team members must work with each other. Each player may roll 4 commands (their choice of which one), and make sure to rp it out accordingly. They can do it in a row, or RP it smoothly throughout
- During RP there are two modes: [ FILM ON ] and [ FILM OFF ]. When your character is in FILM OFF mode, post regularily and RP them out doing whatever setup/prepare action/ talking to others as they need to be. If your character is in FILM ON mode, it means they are BEING filmed! Put in quotations OOC= "FILM ON" and then write that you want FILMED in it. See example below.
- At the end when ALL PLAYERS have rolled 4 commands, please TALLY UP ALL SPOOKY POINTS FROM ALL POSTS. That is the OVERALL SPOOKY LEVEL of your film! Once again the team with the highest spooky points win!
- After 48 hours if there are people who have not rolled, just tally those ones!
- You may also use the props as you wish which is the [ INVISIBLE LIMB SWITCH] to change things up! If you use the switch just turn it "on" and RP parts of your character's limbs invisible!
gaia_crown [ DIRECTOR : You will be using the CAMERA prop. There is a large camera placed on a tripod. When you move over to it and press RECORD, your role has begun! Film and direct as you need accordingly! The director can also throw natural props in it such as minipets/ anything they own/ etc etc to help with the movie! Just quote the people you are giving the items to! You can use any of these commands any time by posting them at the top of your post in gold red so people know!
[ Commands: ]
- FILM IN ACTION STYLE: Film using the ACTION setting which puts everyone on high contrast. RP it out accordingly! Roll 1d8 to see how many SPOOKY POINTS that generated.
- FILM IN FILM NOIR STYLE: Film in black and white setting! RP it out accordingly! Roll 1d8 to see how many SPOOKY POINTS that generated.
- FILM IN FANTASY STYLE Film using gaussian blur on everything which gives it a sort of white feel. Roll 2d4 to see how many SPOOKY POINTS it generated.
gaia_crown [ SCREENWRITER] : You will have a HAUNTED NOTEBOOK prop. Write what lines you want the actors to say and it will be projected off screen. The actors CAN then use your suggested lines in some scenes or even improvise in others.
[ Commands: ]

gaia_crown [ LIGHTING: ]
You will have the LIGHTS prop. You can go ahead and set them up, your goal is to watch over the equipment and make sure it doesn't run away. Dramatic lighting will of course change the mood of the film!
[ Commands: ]
- MORE LIGHTING: Gather a lot of intense lighting into one position. If the director is filming in FANTASY STYLE add +5 spooky points otherwise it does +0.
- LESS LIGHTING: Gather a lot less lighting into one position. If the director is filming in FILM NOIR STYLE add +5 spooky points otherwise it does +0.
- SPECULAR LIGHTING: Gather lights scattered in multiple positions. If the director is filming in ACTION STYLE add +5 spooky points otherwise it does +0.
gaia_crown [ ACTING: ] You are encouraged to rely on the script from the SCREENWRITER to act. If not, you can always improvise with your raw actor talent!
[ Commands: ]
- DRAMATIC SPEECH: You pose and speak dramatically. Roll 1d6 to see how dramatic you were, the higher the better (or if you were just terrible)
- TERRIFIED SPEECH: You pose and speak terrifiedly. Roll 1d6 to see how terrified you were, the higher the better (or if you were just terrible)
- ROMANTIC SPEECH: You pose and speak romantically. Roll 1d6 to see how romantic you were, the higher the better (or if you were just terrible)
RP SAMPLE
I AM THE ACTOR (OOC: I am doing a DRAMATIC SPEECH and I roll 1d6 and get a 1. That means I gathered 1 spooky point. )
Bob looked around, getting prepared. He stared at the lighting from the lights person and the director before reviewing his lines again. They seemed okay. "Okay," he said, "I'm going to do this!"
He posed.
FILM ON
"Alas, poor Sue, she doth meeteth her fateth so dramatically," Bob eyed the script, and decided to half improvise, putting a hand to their forehead. "We dotheth dieth one day togethereth, thus it is shall beeth!"
For extra dramatic measure, he turned on the rain switch, making it rain.
Bob was pretty impressed with his performance. He hoped everyone would enjoy it as he prepped himself for the second part.
OOC
Bob has generated 1 SPOOKY POINT
RP SAMPLE 2
I AM THE DIRECTOR (OOC: I am filming in ACTION and I roll 1d8 and get a 6. That means I gathered 6 spooky points. )
Steve the director pondered what to do next after Bob. That was terrible. It was time for him to shift focus, as he dumped an assortment of his own foxfires into the setting. "Okay!" he shouted to Bob,"imagine that you're being attacked by a lot of foxfires and it's really bloody! Sue, come help Bob! Jim the screenwriter, let me know if you have any cool lines for them. Otherwise, ACTION!"
FILM ON
Steve threw a whole army of foxfires into the film set. The foxfires yipped and ran around while he continued filming. He turned on the rain switch again, making it pour. The scene was set for the actors.
"Anytime you're ready!" Steve shouted to the other team members.
