Discussion: Casting Call for Costumes!

Please use this thread to discuss the below announcement.


Have you ever wanted one of your characters to make an appearance in one of the Official or Player Created Videos or Comics?

If so, here is your chance!

We will be hosting an open casting call on the Training Room Test Server for the following sets on Friday, May 9th from 8:00-11:00 PM EST and Saturday, May 10th from 12:00-3:00 PM EST. For both casting call, we will be on the Pocket D main floor.

If you want to strut your stuff, capture some thematic content for your own creations, or just hang out, come on over to the Test Server on this coming Friday night or Saturday afternoon! Click here for instructions on connecting to the Training Room or copying a character over from a Live Server.

The following sets costumes have been requested:<ul type="square">[*] Archetype Sets
As most Archetypes have a new primary and secondary. We'd like to have group shots of characters illustrating that new Archetype powerset. We'd be looking for name &amp; appearance combinations that best reflect the archetypes, primary, and secondary combined.
[*] Soldiers of Arachnos
We need groups of Soldiers of Arachnos (6-8 characters) shown together. We'd like to highlight the wide variety of appearance customization options available under just the basic SoA costume sets. The focus is on a diverse selection while still being aesthetically unique. There are lots of opportunities to be seen as a team or even as an individual leader in upcoming productions.
[*] Midnighters of the 30's
With flashback to the Midnight Squadrons of the '30's, there's room for costumed heroes appropriate for that era. Candidates should be representative of the era, costumed or "civilian" appearance. Only the best dressed will be selected as these representative costumes will be featured briefly.

[*] Midnighters of the 60's
The lore on the Midnighters indicates that the Midnighters wore "tights and masks" in the 60's and 70's. We are looking for a few great images of magic-themed "tights" heroes and heroines from this era. Candidates should reflect the style of that era's heroes.
[*] Roman-Themed Costumes
When in Cimerora do as the... We want to see what awesome "Roman Type" costumes you can come up with featuring the new costume sets released in Issue 12.
[*] Variety is the Spice...
If you have an awesome costume and you think it is a sight to behold, copy your character to the test server and come show off your stuff.[/list]
Come on over to the Training Room test server and join the fun, if you are into media production or an artist please feel free to come along as well.

Really Cool. I will be there.

Is it possible to show up both days and try and get 2 costumes in? Like an Archetype specific and a SoA?

---

Sounds interesting as heck, but I don't know if I'll be able to make it.

I wonder if it's too late to subscribe to cloning technology.. &gt;.&lt;

---

This actually sounds really cool. I think I'll swing by early and demorecord people for their costume data for the two videos I'm working on right now.

---

Oh how neat! I'll stop by Friday night while on-air.

...MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Huh, I wonder if people've had enough of Winter's True Spirit She only qualifies under the Variety category I think, unless AT might work (ice kin... huh dunno). I'll definitely be there, it's always fun to have a fashion show.

I get the feeling it means selected SoA characters will be used as either:
A) A group of SoA doing things.

or

B) A singular SoA being cast as a squad leader for Arachnos NPCs.


As for this announcement, sounds spiffy! I'll have to create a really good costume for some of the new sets and maybe transfer over my Dom (everyone seems to like his costume for some reason).

Do you mean the character has to be both the New Primary AND New Secondary?(Such as it HAS to be an Earth/Electric Dominator)

Or can it be only one of the new ones with an old one? (Like a Gravity/Electric Dominator)?

I'm going to try my best to show up!

Variety is the spice of life

Hmmmm... a casting call on the Test server. Where I have seen this concept before...?

*grin*

Sure, I'll try and be there. And like Neutra, this does sound like a prime opportunity to capture a few folks' costumes that I might want for MY videos.

I believe the general idea is someone that embodies the primary/secondary power sets best in thematic costume.

Obviously you can work outside those parameters by doing an old/new combo, but if this video or comic is to be featured about Issue 12, you can see that some sets pulling together the perfect feel is going to be more likely to be selected.

Hope that helps to clarify.
