i'view: the_family_god

[CSN NewsBot]

Remember Militia and Militia II? The well-known Counter-Strike machinima series was the brainchild of Dan Frome, better known as the_family_god. Exo interviewed Dan on his new project, ClanWars. A taste:

CS-Nation: What have you personally done thus far with ClanWars?

tfg: I wrote the story and produced a detailed storyboard of the film. I gathered mappers to make a suitable map for the movie. I gathered a modeller to create custom character models. There was a lot of preproduction work for ClanWars, mostly because it was supposed to have a lot of new technology involved. Then I asked Ian and William from the Chipmunk Ninjas to direct the film. I work closely with them, overseeing the editing process. I'll also be composing the soundtrack, and voice-acting a character in the film.

There's much more in our new interview! Have at you!

He sounds like a busy guy.

This will be good. Militia 2 was great, these can only get better with each release.

All Matrix movies were equally entertaining. (IMHO)

[f0liage^]

your opinion is wrong :P

I can't wait for the new tfg stuff

[Venom666]

chipmunk ninjas are very funny, so clan wars sure will be very cool!

[john4d252]

The_Family_God sounds pretty cool



i cant wait to see what he has up his sleeve for the "BIGGER" movie away from video games

[Evil_Penguin]

Chipmunk Ninjas are spin off of the now dead CS-Radio so I am surprised Riz is letting this get this much front page time since he really doens't like CS-Radio.

Great read. If he says that Militia II was unorganized, and he also used better software than Militia II, then I can't wait for this movie. I also would like to see what he could do with the HL2 engine. I bet his work will be amazing!

[DimSum]

wen is the next movie by tfg gonna be relased?

[sYs73m]

Nice work Exo, a good read. =)



Can't wait for those movies. =D

[^.j()$h.^]

I don't think there will be another big movie released by TFG, I think he's moved on to his big real-life films.



Another reason why he passed on the project? Agree/Disagree?
