I have always wondered why CCP has yet to use their CGI and Animation skills to create a video series that gave an in-depth explanation of Eve's back story, while at the same time showing the things we love about eve. Things like large scale battles, epic explosions, as well as an epic sense of humor. They could do almost anything with the series. I have watched CCP make awesome video trailers and capture great footage for events that they hold and I know that they would be capable of accomplishing such a task. This would not only provide the existing community of eve online with something else to discuss and enjoy but it could serve as a way to recruit new players into eve, by giving them a visual taste of what eve is and can be. Usually when space ships and explosions are involved you get peoples attention.
PS: Really I just want to see the 200 and some odd ships in eve clash in an inconceivably large battles, because space ships are awesome, explosions are awesome, and Eve is awesome. Now lets do the math, Awesome space ships+ Awesome explosions+ the awesome world of eve = A series that any person who loves spaceships would watch.
Or am I the only one who thinks an Eve Online Movie or Series is an great idea?

Just at a quick thought:
If CCP were to devote resources to that, how does it help their business? The best I can think is that it would be a very elaborate marketing campaign, since they already earn revenue from existing players. So it might work to bring back people currently winning Eve, or to attract new customers.
However, if it was to attract new customers, would the additional resources required to do that match any additional benefit they would derive from it? The written chronicles already provide a background on Eve and the partnership recently to produce comic based true stories has built on that for existing players.
So, I'm not sure much would be gained from a business perspective.
On other aspects:
- players already provide the best videos of fights in Eve - the shorter trailers (eg. This Is Eve) already showcase the game well - should a small game company also become a film production company?
I personally think it would be a cool idea. I'd love it as a way to consume additional Eve material, just not sure I can see much opportunity in it from a business perspective, not at least unless it was shown somewhere mainstream where it could have a major impact in relation to marketing.

While i appreciate the enthusiasm behind the idea, I'll vote no. I Would rather prefer the resources get invested into Eve. Supporting devs and our little game of internet spaceships. |

I find myself watching most "space" movies in an effort to imagine it in influenced by EVE somehow. Be it politics, or just visuals. I watched Guardians of the Galaxy for the first time about 2 hours ago and caught myself thinking, heh.. that looks like Gal Space, and.. wow, I wish our docking procedures and stations looked/felt like that. Also at another point I said out loud to my dog... " that looks like an EVE corpse after being podded, hah".
I hear that "Expanse" will be similar in some fashion also..
Im not sure it would be profitable, but sure!! I know that a solid cut used as a promo in the theatre before a proper space film could possibly do better, but who knows how much a spot costs for 30 seconds in the 15 min prior to a feature. It can be so hard to keep subs too... and that would be the only reason I see that would warrant such an effort.
for now, the Rooks and Kings, This is EVE style videos must suffice. |

^This! Plus one for you! I always thought a CGI movie or mini/full-feature series would be amazing to watch. The universe of this game is very rich in lore and would be a great watch. |

Whilst it might be fun, I'd selfishly prefer that CCP invest the money in more devs for EVE the game.

A TV series might be the best media. But it would need courage. Season one about earth empire and the wormhole to new eden with a dramatic finale, when the wormhole collapses. season two: stories about new eden and how it grew into the empire space. season three: new eden as it can be played. FInally this certain mittani story can be told. more details and little stuff about the empire and its people. stories about capsuleers and plain crew members.
Not so much taking from the game, thaen creating a deep satisfiing lore, in addition, to what already exists. Why courage? actors only can survive one season MAX!!
sorry for those fraggin typos but the ipad browser is a *****!

Do you remember the EVE comics?
Whether you remember them or don't, picture the same but for 100x the price tag...
73% of EVE characters stay in high security space. 62% of EVE subscribers barely PvP. 40% of all new accounts just "level up their Ravens". Probably that's why PvE content in EVE Online is sub-par and CCP is head over heels for PvP...

A tv series would be nice but instead of just focussing on player tales they could do something based on the history of the empires the caldari - gallente war the jove amarr warr the ninmatar revelation , think abaut it as a prequel abaut the mos intresting stuff that have happened in new eden on the last 1000 years. |

The CGI CCP has put out in their trailers is definitely very good. They could do something like create it and sell it through account management or just upload it to something like youtube and get ad revenue. They can also put it up and steam and various other media sources. They don't need a billion $$$ budget to get it into theaters.
I know I'd pay to see it. |

Well, CCP actually asked the players to make another This Is EVE, and the winners were announced at Fanfest with little success as far as I know.
it didn't helped much that the winner was a Korean video which made little to no sense at imitating the original structure of the trailer...

- Nobody would want to watch a guy spouting bad and stu-pid propaganda for hours and do NOTHING else. - "carebears", "tears" and "bot-aspirants" are connected to players behind monitors (NO-GO) - this stuff is immerson breaking, you can't do that in TV. (thats not even about the 4th wall) - however: code is a clowns troupe, that'd be a great comic factor. The desperatly stu-pid wannabe hisec gangstas, incapable of doing, what they say the do. Running from fights like the AT12. Winning when they lost hard... (du-mb and du-mber in space) (but code-monkeys will hate when they see, what picture of them the others have)
So i understand, that would show how pathetic code is, thats why you say :
But you also say i need to give you 10m isk to pass hisec! Does one give a sh-it? No...
EvE has gigantic Screen potential, but you have to take a step back first.
Like the WoW movie will not be about the game is played, but about the background (lore!!) of some famous characters.
I changed my mind: a complete season series about wormhole and collapse, rise of the empires and the actual state will not be financed. Still: ARCS in series are common now. Game of Thrones is just one gigantic ARC, killing beloved main chars away. It CAN work. But one cannot stick with Startrek or CSI Styles.
