At the time of this comment, I can get you a few games of footage right now. I have more than enough friends on right now and some of them trust me enough to let me put on a map or two. I'll try my best.
I just had an absolutely friggin awesom idea for getting camera tracking to work. Use the tips of spawn points as a contrasting colour for the tracking points DDDDD If I tweak it, would you guys be interested in a tutorial?
@Chief, that would be most excellent if you wanted to do that my man. I would greatly appreciate it! And I'm sure Oli would too @Oli, I don't exactly know what you mean, but it sounds interesting. I wouldn't really use the tutorial since I'm no video-maker, but I'd be interested in seeing what you're talking about.
Sorry, my friends are mostly pricks. When I was promoted to leader, everyone left. I will try to get some footage every chance I get though.
Anyway, sorry to throw this on you guys, but I would like your opinion on accepting donations for these videos. I have been contacted about this in private by a couple of people, and I am wondering what your stance on it is. Obviously I do these for free, and I do very much want to improve my software setup. By no means am I doing some kind of "required donation" where I give huge preference or only do videos from those who donate. My dad has been really keen to see if I could make any money out of this, and all I would ever ask for is small fry, just enough to upgrade my software packages. If you ever were to donate to me, I would of course ask that you donate to a real charity that needs the money first, but nontheless. So, opinions on that are welcomed. As for usual buisness, if I get the time I will make a quick tutorial on motion tracking in reach, should it work. And thanks for getting/trying to get footage for me. It's appreciated. EDIT: All prep work is done, but I still need some footage. I won't be able to do any work on Friday, Saturday and Sunday (possibly monday too) because i'm doing my DofE Silver Expedition, and i'm not taking my computer with me
OK, i'm updating videostudio today. (deserves SOOO much more credit than it gets) I was waiting for a problem I had with my card to clear, so I didn't want to do a load of work (besides the soundtrack) with the possibility of my files not carrying over properly. (EDIT: Bought it, downloading now ) Also, i've been busy working on some behind the scenes stuff. Or other people have been, sorting out other companies who want to be associated with me. I'm not allowed to say anything yet. I hope that is a big enough hint. But it is related to me buying my new software. When it's all finalised i'll tell you. Anyway, just finished recording opening cinematics, should get some editing done this afternoon. Hazah! Find Audio Mix Audio Prep Work Record Intro Record Middle/End Figure out cool stuff to do Apply cool stuff to do Edit Intro Middle Colour Correction Edit Intro-Middle gap Edit Middle/End Watch many times whilst only I can Render Upload to the interwebz! And because I love you guys, enjoy this rollover. The lights turn on and off, as if they are breaking. I thought of that on the toilet, just so you know Spoiler [mouseoverimage=http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/4/afterds.png]http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/5672/beforey.png[/mouseoverimage] Edit: I just realised that my monitor is possibly the greatest thing in the world, so on other computers the video looks more greyish. Imagine it in a darker, more vivid-y blue way. Or just change your monitor settings until it looks OSHIM
Sweeeet. Also I put the other games on my fileshare. Two FFAs and a 2v2. Lemme know if you need more!
Before I went through and did the form, I was wondering if you do map packs videos? I have a ton of maps and I was thinking to grab the best 5 or so and release them in one thread with a video compilation of them and since my computer has broke, I sadn't can't do it and youre the only one I could think to ask.
We are really, REALLY close to done. VFX layers for middle and ending is done and nearly locked in. Ending is in place and amusing (at least for me ) Tomorrow at the latest. EDIT: Scratch that. It's FINISHED! YEAHHH! EDIT: DONEDONEDONEDONEDONE
Hollow FH Thread Why should you do a video of this map and not the others? Well, I feel that since I worked pretty hard on this map, it deserves a video of its own. The thread would just not be complete without it. I think that with your video editing skills, it will make the map look even more awesome.
OK, I will have a look at all the submissions and make a choice on maps in a week or so's time. If I see an amazing map i'll go straight for that, so don't wait until the last minute I already have the music track planned out btw!
Blaze's end of reach map pack "Vile." "Brash." and "Click." Spoiler Vile. Brash. Click. Wake. I wouldn't say I deserve a video more than anyone else but it would be greatly appreciated as my computer is broken and I can't edit one myself. I also feel they all play pretty great and I'd like to have a video released with thread. Thanks for considering. Edit: New map added.
I'm in a smidgey bit of a conundrum at the moment. I'm not sure on wether or not I should wait until halo 4 is out, or try and pump out another video before halo 4. I'm also having a few problems with my network and getting things set up. Spoiler So heck, if somebody wants to give me something from the absolutely great square pack, <3 Nyahahahahaha. I doubt I will get any halo reach submissions again, so I think that Navi would be nice to go out on. But on the other hand I do have submissions from you two guys and i'm not sure if it would be worth me making a video when I can have prep work for a halo 4 video the moment good maps start getting churned out. Thoughts?
Either would be totally understandable. The only reason I'd say put out another video or 2 is because it'll take a good week probably after 4s release to have a worthy map as we have to get used to the gameplay and adapt to the new things. Haha, then again you'd get a nice break before being rushed with requests come halo 4 and if you get bored and feel like doing one in a week or so, you'll still have some time.
OK then, there are obviously no maps until halo 4. What I will say is that I am going to get all the prep work done, so the moment a good map comes about in Halo 4 I can get a video put up in a week or two. Awesome I know. Here's a little VERY EARLY teaser of what i'm thinking. (old footage thrown in, effects layers will be the same) EDIT AGAIN: Happier with this. Added lighting, took out the average and applied a soft focus filter with the sharpness upped quite a way to really bring out the lines. Will need some minor tweaking in H4, we will see how things go! I might have a play around and see if I can get the text to accept the light (EDIT: YUP) , perhaps going the opposite way to make the scene a bit calmer to the music, which i've finished mixing It's also possible for me to feature multiple maps, i've thought about it in my prep work. So it is certainly possible for me to feature 3 maps, although at the same time it may be nicer to only feature one. I'll see how things go.
Check me out - I'm applying and ****! MAP NAME - Trapped PICTURE (1) - Sorry, 343 has made this a bit difficult. It's in my fileshare if you want to see a beta build. Link to FH Thread (if released) - Repeat above text with more swearing. Why I should make a video of your map, and not the others - 4v4 map. Mantises. Flushing mantises into space like the queen alien in Aliens.
Winky faic You're getting in the hall of the mountain king. Going to go for a different style. ll fun and comedy n **** I'll do it! And i'm also doing a map of Dax's.
