[QUOTE="Templetroll, post: 2029934, member: 2201"] One of my original group was in Film Studies so he needed to do a documentary. Our group did a short, slightly scripted run where we did some basic D&D things, got into a room and he announces the appearance of a dragon and ended with a nice flourish, "What do you do?" then pointing into the camera, "What would [I]you [/I] do?" It was cool, since I knew the guy creating the film and that he was supportive of gaming. Now, with someone I don't know well, I would be leery of participating since the effect of the film would be done in the editing and whatever voiceover the person adds. Have you talked to the person making the film what their opinion is of gaming? What will be the theme of the film? If they hesitate at all then say no. I would not be offended to be [I]asked [/I] to participate. I had gone to a LARP a friend held at his house in Florida for a few years. He videotaped some of the events and had tapes done for participants; once, he had a pro do the taping and edit it into something more than an ordinary tape. That was cool, and again, I knew who was doing it and trusted them and the use it would be put to. [/QUOTE]
