Poll: First Person Movie

[RedVelvet]

We've probably all seen the first person sequence in Doom. Would you be interested in seeing a movie based on a first person shooter where the accent lies in First Person action sequences and third person story scenes? Like in Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway.
Of course, I know that this can only work in the hands of competent people and that the chance of this actually turning out good is slim to nothing, but still ... if Hell's Highway can do it, certainly a movie can do it.
And, to be honest, that FP sequence in Doom was the only redeeming factor ...

Edit 1: Movies like Cloverfield were POV movies from the Camera's point of view and not the person's

You mean like cloverfield?
I loved that movie so I'm saying yes.

 

[goatzilla8463]

It would be alright if they made me director.

Well... they tried in Doom and it sucked on that, and was only in for the fan boys... or girls because i got done for that last time

You beat me! Grr...
I haven't seen cloverfield, but I was going to mention it.

 

[goatzilla8463]

It's an interesting idea, I guess, but...

That's pretty much where it becomes a pipe dream.

Seriously, you're view of the human race is disgustingly low. I'm sure there are competent people in this world.

Yeah? Where?
I want to meet her (singular) and shake her hand.

My girlfriend

I'm not letting you anywhere near her.

Hmm. Let me think... Oh yeah, Your mum. Yeah, now we have a moral dilemma. Didn't see old goat pulling this one off.

Max has made it quite clear on these forums that he doesn't have a high opinion of his mother, so no dice.

Yes I agree

In fact DAMN IT, I had the exact same idea a while back and someone else beat me to the post.

Seriously if put together properly it could work, I even know exactly how to format it so that it never breaks the illusion of first person view.
First step: have the movie start in an actual theatre and have our hero walk out of said cinema.

Seriously I reckon it would be interesting, the whole movie as an almost completely unbroken shot, occassionally broken up by bits where the guy gets knocked out.

I would find it too disorientating to watch, I think.

*coughs and points to "Whats in the box?" video on youtube*

If handled properly I think it would be a good idea.

Made an edit to the first post because movies like Cloverfield were from the camera's PoV and not the person's

If they did it well it'd be amazing. I've wanted one of theses for ages.
