I know your busy but I figured i'd throw this request out for you to consider when youre free. Prodigy. I built this the first week and have been testing, tweaking, testing, tweaking repeatedly since. Finally got pictures and what I feel will be the last version before posting. Here is some more picture incase you are interested in seeing more. Spoiler
Looks pretty sweet bro. I see a FHF coming I think it may (sadly) be looking late december if you are lucky, possibly 2nd week of jan before I start editing. Got exams in Jan, and considering i'm predicted an A (A* not possible) in biology, chemistry physics and maths AS I can't be having too much fun But yes, it's something i'd LOVE to get involved in. Got two maps on the go, but should be fun.
Awesome. January sounds just fine to me. Haha. I'm glad youre interested. Good luck on your exams and such.
UPDATEY: Thats in a final state (second one may need minor toning downs . I'm not sure which I will finish first, i'm spoilt for editing choice. But not for time Oh well, one clip down, got a good amount of dax's stuff captured, just waiting on le chron [br][/br]Edited by merge: EDIT: Dax's video is going up now! If a couple of you ask I'll also make a VFX breakdown! (thats the colour correction n FX n shiz) [br][/br]Edited by merge: CIELA! [br][/br]Edited by merge: I suppose Nutts map needs teasing. It really doesn't suit a teaser pic. You won't get it Video is about 2/3 done, but I need to get more film, do a HELL load of polishing and then slap on a LOT of FX. It's getting a lot harder for me from several perspectives. 1) Dynamic lighting won't work if file size of over 4MB or so. 2) FX in terms of hue and colour correction needs to be drastically different for each map, and in each location of each map 3) Odd glitches in theater where text of whom killed whom showing up. Sucks arse!
Sexy ^ ____________________________________________ Anyways this is my last halo reach map I'll be releasing here on forgehub :*O, and blah blah blah MLG Imperial: Spoiler http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/142698-imperial.html
I want to submit a map but the waiting time wow. You should start doing short quick videos. The FX and whatever else it is that takes so long is nice, it just takes effin forever.
It's more that a) I'm useless and want to annoy you b) It's getting up to exam season and i'm really, REALLY cramped for time. I've considered doing shorter videos, in fact my videos are getting more condensed, but I constantly see really low quality map trailers, and I would hate to get into the habit of not bothering to choose and edit music, and to end up with a product where I look at it and say "yup, timings off there, there, there, there, there, wanted to put FX there, something overlaps there, map doesn't actually suit the music, filming is bad etc etc" I may try experimenting with getting rid of the bulky bits, and just doing the short cinematic part at the beginning, but we will see where things go. Also, be my guest and submit a map. I should have Nutdusters out by next week if I can go through and refilm the film so it generates lighting. Then I have two weeks, so will either get yours or Blazes done.
I personally love your current style of videos, Oli. You don't see too many map videos with great cinematic beginnings but also show off a decent amount of action as well. I have to disagree about making them shorter. Sure it may take awhile, but I'd rather wait and have a longer, more polished video. The beginning scenes of your videos are always spectacular, but as a forger I also want to have enough gameplay clips in there as well to show off how the map plays. I think the 1.5 to 2 minute mark is just right.
In going to agree for a map preview its nice to have 1.5-2 minutes but for releasing a map it is good to have a full gameplay showing one or two of the best gametypes.
Oh yes, about your map Robo. It looks awesome, but getting games on Reach is going to become somewhat tough for me, and I did promise Blaze a video for his map when I finish with Nutdusters. If I was still on Reach maps, you'd be a shoe in, but sadly it's a no
Maybe I can upload a vid to my FS so you can have footage. CTF gameplay If you dont feel like doing any more reach vids though, im good with that
Good news! Nutty, I think I might just have enough footage for your map. Might need another game though ASAP, as i'm really pushing for a Christmas Day release AND, AND, i've also figured out the glitch with dynamic lighting not appearing! I just need to rerecord the whole film without the countdown timer and selections at the start. That is what it glitching things up [br][/br]Edited by merge: EDIT: In fact, it's your call. I reckon I should have it finished off for tomorrow at the latest, maybe even tonight. Also, I want to upload a picture to show just why this video has taken me so long. I still need to balance audio big time, apply middle FX and give it a general go over. LOOK HOW MANY CLIPS THERE ARE! ARGHH! All the cue points are significant, and the entire thing is video music synced. Seriously. I'm amazed i'm near the end. [br][/br]Edited by merge:
I was pretty pleased with myself when I thought of it. Was just sitting in my school library, and I was like OMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGMOGMOGM DO THAT DO THAT, so then I was rushing to find a notebook to write it down on. Think it turned out pretty well, could have done more to sharpen the video in a couple of points, but i'm over the moon with how it turned out, and how much fun I had with it. Thanks for the kind words btw
Gametype/map: Gravball: Galaxy Cup Gravball You should make a video for my game Gravball because, well, why would you let anyone else make the video for it? It's a great game that deserves a great video. 'Nuff said.
Okay, so maybe the wait time isnt THAT bad. Im at my parents house for the holidays, but as soon as I get back to my xbox, I'll post with my newest map submission here. Hint: It's a 2v2 map that I designed in Reach (you can find the Reach version in Reach forge discussion, it's not too far down the list.) If you like the look of gravball, go ahead and get started on it first. My map won't be ready for a couple of days.
Right guys, i'm going to set a 2 day deadline for my next video set. I'll also provide you feedback on why your map did/didn't make the cut. Sorry, somebody has to be the bad guy! I'm also going have to spend a while searching for music. Joy [br][/br]Edited by merge: EDIT: Just sorted it out and edited it. LiberatingPulse makes a return EDIT AGAIN - What music is This? I'm thinking of using it for the next mini game map I do. And I can't think of the name for the love of me. Might try using the version of it in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 D EDIT EDIT AGAIN AGAIN - - I finally found the soundtrack i'm looking for for an infection map. You got an infection map, post it here, i'll get around to it if it's right!
