Galactic War - Trailer

[ColonelSheppard]

Heyho peoples,

As some of you already know i promised to develop a GW trailer after i finished the newbie help.

Why do we need a new tailer:
We have some old trailers (sometimes with missing projectile animations) and some movie(-trailers) and some trailer attempts but there is not a single real and completed trailer, esspeically not for FAF specificly and of course not for FAF. The raw material is there, i wont make new ingame sequences but take them from videos already made.

Where will you take it from:
If not spoken to most of the creators of these videos yet, but i will do soon and i hope they will accept. I also do not know yet where i want to upload the final trailer, i would like to have it on one of the big channels like TA or Gyle, or probably SPAZ as i will ask him to take plenty of his sequences.
I will probably also use the voice or Brackmean, Hall, QAI or other (Oh yes)

List of videos i want to use:

How will it work:
I will do this like i did the nomads loading screen. I will make a raw suggestion and you will tell me what you want to see. i will try to work as modular as possible, so things can be changed easily and diffrent possibilities can be tried out. You will be able to see the current status as non-listed videos on my YT account.

Concept: basic concept: http://youtu.be/BA49rhKXxMI (text only)
The Video has to be between 3:00 and 3:30 as an absolute maximum.
0-9 : THQ/GPG intro
I think this come better than just starting.
10-15: FAF intro
We have to figure something out, maybe i can use one of my nomads logo templates for this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7X1ms5VNtLc)

From here i want start with a few gameplay sequences, like in IGN FA trailer.
the whole things disrupted by text sequences and some cool aftereffects animations (thinking of something like the PS2 new conglomerat trailer)
join the infinite war blablabla
Then Cut -> FAF -GW window, will wait to create this until Pilot comes near to his photoshop version
then add the commander comming out of gates parts from war never ends (the spaz one) disrupted by comments al'a "fight with your frinds/for your faction/whatever"
in the end we need some cool finish, nuke seems to be standard i really like the one from the video on the front page.

Music
I'm searching fo backgound music atm. i want to combine something from supcom (UEF theme, risk relief and victory etc) and maybe some Thomas Bergensen/tsfh or aproaching nirvana.

I want to help!
SOUNDS/background music needed suggest something!
No seriously if you have some cool aftereffect skillz go ahead

This is it for now
greeting Sheppard
(PS: I did not forget the wiki entry, will be done)

SupCom Vanilla music.

The Risk Relief and victory Music actually was my first idea but i m Not really happy with it, i tried out most of the sc Music already (autocorrection is sucking my spelling)

What i worked on (let work on ) as a torunement trailer once, remained unfinished:

Camera starts in the space
Camera flies arround the space, passes several planets etc and gets a planet in view (still far away)
We used a replay of theta passage that we recorded as video and "projected" this on a 3D planet after some photoshop adjustment to make it from a rectangle to a round map, so it fits on the planet
You could see the strategic icons etc move on the planets from space.
The camera then zoomed into the planet, getting nearer to the "normal zoom level" of FA.
used a mix of fast forward, split screen zoomed and close up scenes and shift to best scenes of the replay then

I'm sad i don't have what we had anymore, but this could be a good idea to use for a GW trailer if someone got the skills for it.

[ColonelSheppard]

it's been a long time since i worked with blender, while this is a cool idea i'm not sure if i can do this in a way that looks good, the idea atm is to not fly around the space but warp between the gates (as i can use the spautiks, commander coming off the gate vidparts). I think this is more realistic that doing a full scaled 3 D animation

[ColonelSheppard]

Concept is now completely done:
Video will finish uploading in a few minutes:

Lobby parts are missing so far
textanimations just as the exact texts and fine tuning concerning the positioning are not done yet (only my standard templates)
end is not sure yet, dude the creator of this part did not respond yet, we may have to cut it off anyway

Text style suggestions needed!

Nice job Sheppard, your pre-alpha looks nice.

You're right to take Spaz's video sequences because I still believe that it the best FA video ever made !

Keep up the good work

[ColonelSheppard]

ok the alpha is standing (i uploaded a small file with lowquality only)

... to make it easier understandable how the film is constructed and what is changeable, no i can give it to you as template cause the files are seeded all over my PC (source file salate as my prof calls it)

i need your feedback and ideas now
