I had a good one where my Symph got launched, rolled, and continued on, but it seems it aged out of the system. It was also nice because my characters had to bail and dash for the SS gates when the Symph was eventually totaled. ......................... vet wv community Posted May 7, 2009, 6:12 pm

I am sure it will all be sped up real fast and cut very fast too - a'la action movies . The peds will look even nicer with bullets and dust getting kicked up around them the older ped models are stillnicer (imho) COCO ......................... vet wv Posted May 7, 2009, 10:47 pm

BWGunner DriveByRomance Autodueller Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 413 Joined: Mar 22, 2008 S106928 Philyn and I were on our convoy to the new camp deep in the wastelands when we were jumped by 12 cars. We had a bus and 4 support cars. you can use my camera positions for a starting place. frame 3 - we come over the rise, but hold it there until they come after us. Heck, just follow my cameras, it's a wild escape ride filled with cool Phoenix skins and a real Mad Max style "one turns to face them all" moment including a pedestrian fleeing and being shot down. They proceed to disassemble the Apache and its occupants. The bus blows by doing 120 a couple times. 74 pan follow pickup 80 snap back pan follow apache 82-88 back to the death scene 90ish pull back to reveal Thelma and Louis finale I'm planning on writing it up in the Gazette ......................... vet wv cont Posted May 8, 2009, 5:02 am

4saken The 4saken Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,282 Joined: Jan 1, 2008 awhile back, before we even had event playback, someone posted a playback video that had sound. i don't remember what software he used but it seems like it would be easier to do now. though i am not sure that due the turn-based nature this is such a good idea. it is important to show we have physics, tho, as opposed to an "i have X movement points left" kinda of tabletop thing. ......................... vet combatL1 wv1,0,0 Posted May 8, 2009, 9:01 pm

Fealty Lost Slaughterhouse: Bloody Remains Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Subscribers Posts: 1,258 Joined: Jan 6, 2009 S107522 My first venture out with a Lorry (my first) and jumped by Butane. Am actually making headway running...but really like the map for killing bad guys...so...Apaches swing around (2 in escort) and open up. Lorry goes a bit further...then swings back around...just in time to catch two bad guys (starting frame 48) trying to sneak up the hill and flank us. KAPOW! 1st ram kills both occupants. Lorry swings around while Apaches are laying down fire...and: KAPOW! 2nd ram slaughters/catches fire flanker crew #2 ......................... vet wv Posted May 8, 2009, 10:45 pm

BWGunner DriveByRomance Autodueller Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 413 Joined: Mar 22, 2008 Yeah, and as lame as mine sounds, it would make a great short movie. If handled cinema style, a couple fly-bys of the gangs initially, chase cameras as the fighting starts, a few key spots where you can keep the camera stationary and pan with the car as it goes by. I think for this to work we need to submit replays where we'ev already done the initial camera positions. The trick to that, I think, is that it only works if you start the replay, enable the playback cam, and don't touch the controls during playback or you mess up the shots. For one good 2 minute "short" of an encounter I imagine three recordings. 1 from the player's cameras, one shots as just flying round the fight, then a third focusing on a couple specific scenes. Time-code it in layers in Final Cut and you can just reveal one of the three cameras at key times and viola, a kickin vid. What I've never figured out is how to screen-cap from the client. ......................... vet wv cont Posted May 9, 2009, 7:53 pm

They are old (relatively speaking), and they don't have sound (you might be dubbing your own sound in though), but... Hot Rod Abuse is short and shows a flying Hot Rod. All Hallow's Eve Firetrucks has ... firetrucks ... and lots of mayhem. Fighting Uphill is a good 2v5 encounter.

BWGunner DriveByRomance Autodueller Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 413 Joined: Mar 22, 2008 Markkos, what did you use to capture video of the game client?

Marrkos 88 MPH Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,711 Joined: Mar 28, 2006 Well, I use the screenshot series and the application discussed here and here. But I know that some other folks have done movies using FRAPS (Win) and ScreenSnapz Pro (Mac). I specifically didn't want to capture as video because of the editing that would be needed. Each method has its pros/cons... Screenshots: Pros: very little (to no) editing work needed, shows the turn-based nature very well (IMO).  Cons: no sound, camera work can be jerky. Video Capture: Pros: captures everything (sound is nice).  Cons: heavy editing time required (usually) ......................... vet wv community Posted May 10, 2009, 3:18 am

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Here's the new movie (we actually made it for a competition that's we're entering...) - it's heavily based on the earlier one made in late 2006, of course, but with the more recent GUIs, wilderness, insects, peds etc. stuff added in. Darkwind: Youtube trailer May 2009 edit: please do keep the suggestions coming!, there's definitely more promotional movies worth making. I like the idea of making a movie that shows one specific combat in playback mode, with choreographed camera-work, as suggested. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted May 10, 2009, 12:12 pm Last edited May 10, 2009, 1:12 pm by *sam*
