Help me with the trailer!

Great, now I have to finish 2.2.

 

it's all about having no HUD. I thought the exact same thing the moment I turned on "cl_drawhud 0"

 

That looks good.

If just possible, add some length to it.

 

no.

(filler)

 

... Guys we need to make more trailers!

 

Yes for the fun of it

 

Well I was saying that jokingly. You see if trailers make krenzo wanna release, then we should make more. see the plan?

 

Shit man, I'm firing up Frapps as we speak....

 

call me the noob, but that includes the new Jeep right? :D
if so, DARN, we'll have to get our hands of that copy pre-release and make another trailer.

 

That jeep isn't skinned as far as i can see, it's not even a low poly model.

 

I am considering making another trailer actually. I might do another day of filming, and the next trailer will probably be more about gameplay features/strategy/storyline

 

so then what is in 2.2

 

Tweaks and bugfixes?

 

As far as i know, V2.2 will contain the OB version of Empires, but i don't know what else.

 

In other news, At the moment we have two trailers which will be done in the same day. Sandbag will be doing his, and I'll be doing a more teaserish one, which is already very laid out and stuff.

 

Will any of them be at a time that us fat, lazy Americans can get to without having us wake up before sun is over our heads?

 

can you make it a Empires community event? That way steam will do the time conversion for us.

 

awesome

 

Very nice work. Sorry I couldn't be here to give feedback as you worked on it!

For the next one, I would recommend three things (in order of importance):

- Learn to use the demo smoother. It's a hell of a lot of work, but the final effect is well worth it. Even if you only use it in a couple of scenes, it will make the final product so much more cinematic. Nobody wants their movie to look like it was shot on a handycam (except maybe J.J. Abrams ).
- Explore the features of your editing software. Transitions, effects, whatever. Start showing more than just raw footage.
- Vary the volume of the music more. This was there to a degree, but it didn't really push through at any point.
- Tell a story. I know this was an action trailer, so this would be hard to do, but even the simplest of things (like returning to a previous scene at a later point in the battle (and making it identifiable)) will make the audience feel much more engaged. For a game trailer this isn't really necessary, but it makes for some nice icing on the cake.

Looking forward to the next one!

 

I've really got people wanting me to do another, havn't I.

well, i was kinda not thinking of doing another, but the reception has been so good then I just might. still pondering

could someone upload the trailer to that youtube HD thing? that black youtube
