Promo Video
« on: May 21, 2007, 09:07:39 AM »
Well, decided this game would probably be more popular if it had a promo video so people could watch it before they download the game. I thought I'd take it up as my project in ICT. Anyway, this is going to need a decent amount of film. So I've planned a couple of filming times.

  • Friday 25th, 20:00 - 23:00 GMT
  • Saturday 26th, 16:00 - 18:00 GMT
  • Sunday 27th, 12:00 - 14:00 GMT


These times should let some US players get in there too. I hate timezones.

So, if you know you or your clan could be there for filming, please post here.

Those who are taking part, please connect to #dppromo on GGC fifteen minutes before the event.

Also, something I overlooked... looking for a server to do this on. Wouldn't like to cram everyone in a pub and have to use the maps on rotation.

Thanks,
Steve

Sounds like a great idea! How are you planning on filming it? Fraps? And if you need any help I'll be glad to help.

What would be the best time out of those for US players?
It would be the first wouldn't it?

During nightz for me... But I'll be there.

You're getting used to play at 3am (e.g. PBCup) after playing with you guys for about 3 yrs now.

why you want them to be online at those times, clans who want to participate can make their own time and then send u the demo. Or is it easier for you that way like you told?

Anyway, love the idea vic, make us proud.

Well blaa, if i get demos, I have to view it from the people's eyesight, with the models, where as camming it live means i get a clean shot.

What do you mean by "with the models"?

Haha, just realised how that sounds. I mean, when you watch a demo through the first person view and see their model all over the place.

You just see the gun, if enabled. What you mean is chase-camming someone in first-person view, but that is something completely different ;) .

Momentarily I thought he was ditching the promo video in favor of a porno video..  then I realized what he meant by models.

Vic:  What do you have planned for the video?

Oh yeah, thanks, just remembered that. Anyway, I think we should have a live filming, because the more people there are the better it will be. If it was just clan matches, then we'd just have people demoing themselves camp in a hole for 15 minutes.

@y00tz: First some shots of the map, then aerial overhead view as the battle commences. Then switches to first and third person shots. Map changes with the music. Anyway, the maps need to be decided upon first. Large, open ones, that don't have flat walls and actually look good.
