Cinematic Contest #5 - Fantasy Weds Modern

[APproject]

Great minds think alike.

 

[Heinvers]

shit. I was hoping I would be the only one who went with a first person camera view. Seems like that aint gonna happen though

No worries, will make this fun to watch

Good competition is always welcomed

 

[APproject]

Already 3:35 minutes in. This time cinematic will be rapid and no boring pauses as it was in my previous works. Another shot below, text has been removed, so no spoilers.

Making other model editions, it might be Anubis or just some jackal beast.

cool! You are using custom cinematic interface. Looks great so far..

 

[Vinz]

Great WiPs, AP. The sands might be too plain, though.

 

[Tickles]

My first WIP. I can do a pretty good kid voice, so I might try voice acting for this.

 

[Heinvers]

Great :d

 

[APproject]

Looks HQ, Tickles. It also looks interesting, looking forward to it. Hive lacks HQ cinematics, hehe.

I am 5:36 minutes in with my work. Hope not to pass 10 minutes barrier, huh.. Screenie below, this is what happens when you fall into the trap of ancient Egyptian tomb.

These look very interesting.

Nice image, but those skeleton's or whoever they are should not bleed. In the image they look very skeleton-ish.

 

[APproject]

These are freshly butchered men. Perhaps it looks skeletonish due to weirdly edited skin, I might adjust it in the future.

 

[Tickles]

My second WIP. FRAPS doesn't seem to like the ambient sound I used, so it makes a high-pitched crackle once in a while

[Heinvers]

I'll be having nightmares because of that ;p

 

[Pharaoh_]

These are so awesome guys, I am so glad that we have new people working on cinematic maps! Keep it up :3

 

[Vinz]

Looks cool, haha. I suggest the camera start from another angle once the darkness first moves towards the door, though.

 

[APproject]

Going slowly due to studies. Here is skin-adjusted Anubis model and a piece of terrain, a chest with treasures on top of it and a bunch of ancient Egypt bronze coins.

[WhiteFang]

LOoks intresting. No way I'm participating thou.

Suprised Darko? I'm everywhere...

 

[Vinz]

That Anubis looks amazing. That other picture, too.

 

[Heinvers]

Great details, you might wanna add stronger glows to the yellow parts on that Anubis skin though.

 

[APproject]

Thanks. It has no glows at all.

What about the judging? Still no one to judge?

 

[Shadow Fury]

Thanks. It has no glows at all.

What about the judging? Still no one to judge?

I said I would apply myself as a judge because I don't think I'll have enough time to create such a cinematic.

 

[APproject]

So did few other people, but I was just wondering if anyone is already a judge for certain.

Probably me :3

 

[Chaosy]

the intro is done.. buggy, but done.

edit: oh yeah, heinvers is the one to praise for the terrain.

 

[Heinvers]

For a moment I thought you forgot me in the Halls of Valhalla <3

 

[APproject]

Good to see wips flowing. Personally I didn't understand what was going in the video. Some guy transformed into a demon and opened portals for satyrs? Looks interesting though, looking forward to full cinematic.

Demons hide in humans. I sense Supernatural...

 

[Chaosy]

The character in question doesn't get it either. It will be revealed later on.

 

[APproject]

One week is left, hurry up, people.

I'm 9:18 minutes in and I still want to make one scene plus credit list. I wonder if I will make it to 10 minutes, I will try my best. Going to complete it soon.

Does crediting goes into the cinematic time?

EDIT: Done with the cinematic at 9:56 without credit display. Can I go like +30 seconds for credits only? I do not wish to skip it though.

The final entry should be uploaded in the map section or in this thread only?

 

[Tickles]

That is a looong cinematic I'm glad you ended the drought of activity in this thread.

Can I go like +30 seconds for credits only? I do not wish to skip it though.

I was also wondering that. Mine isn't anywhere near that long, but nothing about credits or an intro screen being included in the length restriction was mentioned in the rules. It would be nice to know for future reference.

The final entry should be uploaded in the map section or in this thread only?

All other contests I've seen have only needed entries to be posted in the contest thread, so I'm pretty sure you just have to post it here.

 

[APproject]

I could go twice longer if I was let to, because I have enough of content. But it appeared to be okay like this. My style is slow, steady, some terrain showcase to tell the message and it eats the whole time, hehe.

It would be cool not to include crediting into the length, looking forward to Pharaoh's reply.

So can we post it on map section when this contest is over?

 

[Vinz]

So can we post it on map section when this contest is over?

I think so, but it will be rated after it judging.

This got extended right?

 

[A Void]

I have signed up as a judge. Pharaoh still has to give me a cinematic to review before this contest ends. Tough he was quite inactive recently. :/

 

[APproject]

Completely done with my cinematic entry. 9:58 minutes of cinematic and total of 11:17 minutes with crediting. I hope crediting is not going to count as cinematic, sadly Pharaoh delay with his reply. Will upload it once this matter is solved. Cinematic's size is 49 MBs, 99 cameras, 5231 doodads, 69 custom sounds.

Anyone would be willing to test it? So flaws I missed could be spotted.

I could.

 

[APproject]

But you might still be the judge, so I don't know about that. Although I am certain you would surely push me to the limits, A_Void. Did you drop your entry?

I wonder how Hemlock is doing with his entry.

 

[A Void]

Did you drop your entry?

Yes I did, sadly. Well, good luck to you.

 

[fladdermasken]

?

 

[APproject]

Since Pharaoh delay with his reply and very little of time is left, I am posting my entry.

Cinematic is called Human Error, made by me. It is about a group of archaeologists who found a hidden secret tomb entrance beneath the sands of Egypt.

Length of cinematic itself is 9:58 without crediting part so technically it does not violate the rules. (10 minutes cinematic length restriction is very short in my opinion). Map's size is over 20 MBs so I can not attach it normally, so I put it into a .rar file.

I am willing to post it on map section when the results of the contests are out.

Should I post credits here or it is enough to be displayed in the end of the cinematic?

Wish you a good film.

 

[Heinvers]

At the end of the cinematic will be enough tbh.

You're very fast

 

[Deleted member 238589]

It's great, but, for me, the textures of entrance gate and blood of those two guys that die in the pit of spikes, don't show.

 

[APproject]

So it doesn't show up as a model? Weird, it is shown for me just fine, maybe your video settings are not set to max?

 

[A Void]

I'm quite satisfied with your results APproject, tough one thing that bothered me were - animations. Choppy and laggy movement of animations, unrealistic animation speeds and drastically crazy facing speed was absolutely ridiculous. But on the other hand it was very interesting to watch and was well-made. Tough the egyptian setting is a little too overused.. You could have used Sumerian, egyptian setting is really un-original. In-fact, I already knew on what was about to happen at the first seconds of the film, that was the fault of "egyptian setting".

 

[APproject]

Thanks, A Void. Not sure why exactly turning speed sticked to you though. Yeah, Egyptian setting is nothing new indeed, yet it is new to warcraft in my opinion, because I haven't seen any egyptian-like cinematic or even a map around Hive. No matter how cliche things are, it can be good as long as it is presented in a fresh and quality form. I know it is silly to make excuses, but I rushed with the content, because I was in fear that one month is not going to be enough to make more unique cinematic.

[APproject]

Good job, Tickles. Although camera work could be a little bit better, maybe because of tight areas you were forced to lock camera and change its direction with those sudden and rough changes. Personally voice was annoying at some point, because I could not follow without reading. Oh and I could not skip it. But overally it was great and it is truly a quality cinematic. For me crediting part was the most impressive though.

 

[Vinz]

Awesome job and entries, guys.

 

[APproject]

It is the last day for the contest and only two entries out so far. It would be cool to see others joining with their entries.

 

[Chaosy]

Didn't finish mine, even though I think I will do it.. in due time.
