Cinematic Contest #6 - 5 minutes free theme

[The Algerien]

Tiny update on model part. Don't have a tight grip on scenario yet, but I decided to go with plague doctor during epidemic theme. Just a WIP main character mask below, skin may change.

Iceborn maker is part of this? God help us all

 

[Lambdadelta]

Wow. That prize Good luck!

And omg Anitarf + Infrane are judges!

I hope to see some amazing cinematics later!

 

[Arad MNK]

Worked on Systems mainly today, and removed LOTS of BJ's. Gonna Work on the Cinematic itself for an hour. WIP's soon.

 

[APproject]

I think I'm done with Plague Doctor model. I even uploaded it here. I know it is rough on some spots, but that's the best I could do.

A warcraft 3 cinematic contest in 2015-2016? Sign me up, I'm feeling like a kid again.

Hats off to Infrane and Anitarf for still kicking around and initiating these fun projects!

 

[The World Is Flat]

Looking forward to all the sweet entries!

 

[APproject]

Just a quick question. Can I show some nudity? I mean, not in a sexual way, but in a scary way, for example, rotten woman lying on ground with naked breasts, it looks more realistic that way, more shocking, catching attention, but not any sexual (unless that's your thing).

Language too, can I use few bad words?

According to the site rules:

Amendment: No Pornographic, Sexual, Vulgar, Obscene or Gory Content
- We're not aiming to be a family friendly site, but we're also not anarchists. All content
should be relevant, none-intrusive and civilized.

I guess the site rules apply to the contest, so I would keep it to a minimum at least.

Demm... That sounds like very well planned, Maybe I should get out of this XD

Looking good.

Indeed, but rotten naked body is far from being sexual or pornographic, unless viewer is a necrophile, but in this sense even showing a bike or car could be called sexual, as there is such a thing as mechanophile. I am looking for more shock factor and more unusual content and this may provide it. Of course it won't be disgusting and gory, I have skins in mind. Would it be allowed is a subtile way?

Don't you dare, or I will stop posting updates or spoiling content!

I won't start doing this until december, Which most probably would be a rushing work
But I did wanna join

 

[jonhysone]

Does anyone know what about using voice acting in this? If it's legal, I am gonna use 'em.

 

[APproject]

Of course it is, and it is always recommended to do so.

If there is some nudity you would like to use but you think is bordering the rules, feel free to ask in Staff Contact.

Voice acting is fine as long as the rest of the rules are kept. They are basically resources, so give credit and make sure the licensing is OK.

 

[APproject]

Terrain update. In process of building a small generic village.

I will make sure to do so.

 

[Datnes]

Where to post the map? Here? And should I use download link?

OK HERE IS THE MAP LINK: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/maps-564/resident-evil-272292/
THIS IS MY FINAL ENTRY.

 

[APproject]

Attach your map to your post saying it is your final entry. If map is too big, use a link. It doesn't matter really.

 

[Arad MNK]

I think we can upload it to the map section then send a Link, right?

I'm thinking whether I should use Voice-acting or not...


I have a problem with my Loading Screen, any help appreciated: LINK

Terrain update. In process of building a small generic village.

WIP

Using Stone and Sword, right? Nice structures so far
Looks like a basic form of the terrain of a single scene, ha?

 

[Ralle]

We have to flesh it out in the rules but personally I would love to make sure all entries are in the maps section. This could be done by requiring links into the maps section.

 

[NightStalker]

what type of voice acting are you talking about? Do you mean using some other user's voice? I will try to voice act with my friend as well that's why I am asking.

 

[GreeN!X]

Holy fudge. MAN, I wish I didn't uninstall warcraft. That gift card looks awfully tempting.
Too bad I don't have the time either. Anyway, good luck to the participants.

Well the fact is, it may be me and some of my friends who're gonna be voice-actors... I don't think I'll find the corresponding dialog as voice-acted anyways.
And yes, I am always aware of the resources' licenses I am using.

 

[Ralle]

Why would it be against the rules to voice act yourself?

 

[JnM]

It's been a very, very long time since I even touched the WE. I'm glad to say I'm having fun playing around with it again, here's a teaser:

Rivers early morning

 

[Chaosy]

Why would it be against the rules to voice act yourself?

I would do that if my English wasn't useless

Either that or my mic records my voice wrong and it just seems like my english sucks.

 

[APproject]

If someone agrees to voice act for the project and credit for the voice is given, it should be all cool.

But I wonder what about if author of the resource doesn't care for crediting. What if author agrees not to be credited? Do rules still force to give credit even if author does not care? Or, for example, Author is unkown?

 

[Anitarf]

But if someone recorded dialogue specifically for your cinematic, how would they be unknown? Surely you would know whom you asked to do it? OR are we talking about other resources now?

Even if the author does not care, the proper thing to do is still to give credit. If the author explicitly does not want credit, then... I don't really know. I might choose to not use such a resource at all.

 

[JnM]

From past experiences in cinematic making: Just as you would credit imported skins, models or music, you should always credit voice actors.

At the very least, you should probably source where you found the voices/sound/music (Ex: Site, program...) in the end credits.

 

[APproject]

As for the voice acting, in any case it will be known, but *do not care* applies here. For example, I used my sister's voice several times, she is not into gaming, she is not into forums, is not not into acting - any of this kind, so by not mentioning her I would not hurt the author of the voice, but of course I did just in case someone wondered.

When author is unkown it is for other resources, for example, models. There are models that were made by Blizzard, but someone just ripped it, and ripper is anonymous. So he did not make the model, he is not the Author, but he uploaded it when he ripped from WoW let's say. So here is another issue, not really an author and stays anonymous. But in this case just providing a link makes sense, as JnM said.

In case if someone wants not to be credited. I myself do a lot of stuff, I do editing, adjust some resources, work with sounds and with models and their skins, I also rip stuff from WoW myself, but if I do so, I do not credit myself, I just credit those people whose resources I used. Or should I credit myself in every step once new resource is born?

EDIT: Just a random shot of current terrain, still in development.

[jonhysone]

Why would it be against the rules to voice act yourself?

I guessed it'd be just a fighting cinematic or something without dialogues , seems like I haven't read everything right.

I would do that if my English wasn't useless

Either that or my mic records my voice wrong and it just seems like my english sucks.

It's the same here trust me. I wish Judges don't judge the eloquence and fluency of voice actors' English (Such as mine) , but I'll try to make the dialogue as much correct as possible, and also the same about voice-fitting thingy.

If someone agrees to voice act for the project and credit for the voice is given, it should be all cool.

But I wonder what about if author of the resource doesn't care for crediting. What if author agrees not to be credited? Do rules still force to give credit even if author does not care? Or, for example, Author is unkown?

I care a lot about crediting. I , moreover, give the detailed credits for everyone.

But if someone recorded dialogue specifically for your cinematic, how would they be unknown? Surely you would know whom you asked to do it? OR are we talking about other resources now?

Even if the author does not care, the proper thing to do is still to give credit. If the author explicitly does not want credit, then... I don't really know. I might choose to not use such a resource at all.

I am still insisting to using Voice acting in my cinematic although I ma not sure about my English (huhuh)... But no one has to worry about crediting, I mean, why wouldn't I credit those who have put their effort in order to make something successful for someone?!

From past experiences in cinematic making: Just as you would credit imported skins, models or music, you should always credit voice actors.

At the very least, you should probably source where you found the voices/sound/music (Ex: Site, program...) in the end credits.

That's what I probably intended to do.

Looks pretty good, I'd like to just say 2 things:

• 
  You can add some dirt to the road, Different Grass tiles (Watch out for layering, it's Grassy-Dirt, Grass, Lumpy Grass, Thick Grass, Leaves).
• The House far looks a bit WoW-ish, and doesn't look good with the Great Textures of Stone and Sword. please consider re-textures.

 

[APproject]

You can add some dirt to the road, Different Grass tiles (Watch out for layering, it's Grassy-Dirt, Grass, Lumpy Grass, Thick Grass, Leaves).

That's what I meant saying In Development. It still needs some rocks and rubble, also proper positioning of the grass, which will depends on the camera angles that are yet non existant. I will not add different grass, because then it would attract not so needed attention and basically would look like one big mess. One solid simple grass with some bushes is pretty good for camera angles, variantion is good for standard warcraft camera.

The House far looks a bit WoW-ish, and doesn't look good with the Great Textures of Stone and Sword. please consider re-textures.

WoWish textures are actually even more HQ looking than Stone and Sword. And that house with Stone and Sword textures would look way too off, because it was not designed to look that way. WoW house gives variantion as a slightly more wealthy owner of the house. House itself is also wooden.

What I meant was that it doesn't fit, not that it's bad

It see where you're coming from - simple log cabins but an eccentric Nordic splendor in the background. It depends on if that contrast plays into the cin.

I was planning to put a better wip but I couldn't even find time to do all the terraining so I'll just put it here

Nice use of those models! If I can permit a tip: Don't ever show map corners, it ruins the good work you put in the actual terrain.

Cheers,

 

[fladdermasken]

EDIT: Just a random shot of current terrain, still in development.

Looking pretty nice there. Only AFAIC the road texture kind of sucks and the grass is poorly placed. I'm guessing it maybe looks good from another angle?

Thanks JnM, dont worry about those corners ill cover them up and i wont use the city/village scene too much so i wont have much trouble those corners.

 

[APproject]

Thanks. Of course, road is unfinished as well as grass placement is not properly adjusted. Right now I just build the terrain without taking angles into consideration, I will adjust things once cameras will be set.

dont worry about those corners ill cover them up and i wont use the city/village scene too much so i wont have much trouble those corners.

What I would suggest is to use too big map, so that corners are in the far distance and can not be reached by camera no matter what. This way you would not have to cover anything.

Hmm simple but effective. Why couldnt i think of this i will do it next time tho bcz my cinematic will mainly focus on a story part by part and i will not use one scene for too long or too detailed.

If the person does not want to be credited, you don't have to credit them, but you still have to write down what you did not make yourself:

The entry post must include a list of all used resources made by other authors.

 

[War3Citizen]

Oh man,the prize xD.Anyway good luck to all of the participants I won't join at any rate.

 

[Warseeker]

I think... I think u will participate on this Cinematic Contest, and take my chance!? Why not!?

 

[Cokemonkey11]

Unfortunately, I will almost definitely not be able to submit an entry for the contest due to a bug in the Wurst suite.

My offer for the additional prize in the event of 20+ contestants still stands, however.
