"Cordis Die" GTA V Re-enactment/Parody

Project Overview

Hello, I've been gaming for a long time. One of my friends referred me to this website, and I felt that it was about time to realize a dream I've had for a couple years. Some background on what I am trying to do:

I am attempting to reenact/emulate a mission from the game Call of Duty: Black Ops II within the game of GTA V. Black Ops II takes place in the near future of 2025, and surrounds the events of a fictional scenario where the United State's autonomous drones are hacked and taken over by Raul Menendez, a political activist with a deep hatred of the U.S. In the Black Ops II mission, the President of the United States is being transported on Marine One to a G20 meeting, hosted in LA. Mercenaries fire and shoot down Marine One, and you as the character have to move through the war-torn streets and secure the President at the Bonaventure Hotel in Downtown.

Grand Theft Auto V takes place in a fictional version of Los Angeles called Los Santos. As well, names of buildings (like the Bonaventure Hotel) are renamed or repurposed for the sake of parody. It would be easy enough to just overlay the audio from Black Ops II, but there is a lot of background noise + I would like to make some aspects unique (given the limitations of the game I am attempting to reenact it in). This is where you come in. The video linked to this project portrays the mood of the game I am attempting to emulate, as well as the voice acting. This is my first real project working with voice actors, but if you would like to see an example of previous work (video production), you can view that here. I am proficient with the game's editor, and have some experience with Adobe After Effects, but it would be nice to also have someone else to assist me with animation/editing (i.e. having jets flying around in establishing shots, effects, props, etc). This is being produced as a "machinima" short, though at this point I do not want to overextend myself and turn it into a series.

The footage is currently in production, and as soon as there is any to present, I will share it here first.

If you do audition please do it with a clean mic!

TIPS:

Cordis Die is pronounced Core-dis Dee-ah (not) Die

MRAP is pronounced Em-Rap

A disclaimer:

I will do my best to complete the project, however, i cannot guarantee it will ever be finished. If it is completed it may take a long time. That being said, if you produce your lines, I will pay you regardless. I can be relatively flexible with payment, but paypal is preferred.

If I cast you, you will need to join our "Discord" where we will share details, and progress on the project.

Latest Updates

  • Roles Casted

    Hello everyone, I wanted to take a second to post an update on my "machinima" Cordis Die, we have had a very good response to this project, more than I ever expected, which I thank you for. This morning, I went through the auditions and casted roles that I felt were very comfortable. Fortunately, there is still time to snag some roles. We have begun production, and have created some "demo" clips, they aren't exactly presentable, is one of those things that is better seen as an end product. That is all I have to say for now, and I thank you for your support up to this point. Stay tuned for more info, and teasers soon to come!
