Hi all. I'm an aspiring filmmaker who has been in love with the asthetics of Final Fantasy and Square-Enix's other offerings for a long time. I've recently discovered the TV show "Spartacus: Vengeance", which for those who don't know, uses digital sets, "300" style, to recreate the settings of Ancient Greece. Watching this it struck me how this technique would make it (relatively) easy to make a live-action Final Fantasy fan-film a reality. So that's what I want to do. I want to make a fan-film using the world and characters of FFXIII, using digital "sets" and live actors. Right now I'm thinking of making it a prequel to XIII-2, that depicts the portal appearing in Noel's time and his decision to go through it, as Serah in her own time sleeps and dreams of Lightning. All of this is subject to change however, so if anyone has any better ideas I'd love to hear them.
The reason that I think this is even possible is because the only things I see myself needing are a cameraman, a big green room, and someone with excellent CG skills to build the digital "sets". I can write it and direct it myself (it is the career to which I aspire, after all). As far as actors, I plan on going after a troupe of cosplayers who happen led by the best Lightning cosplayer in the world. Here's her DeviantArt page with her cosplay:

That sounds doable to me. I'm writing this thread to gauge interest. If there's no one out there with the necessary skills who is interested in helping me pull this off, I'll just write this off as a crazy idea and go on with my life. But if anyone out there in the vast Final Fantasy community thinks this idea is worth pursuing and has the skills to help me see it to fruition, please let me know.
