I think Purge has said that a few bad words would be allowed or something. But another contest with another rules. There would still be 13 days to do a cinematic for this competition which is much if people have free time.
EDIT: He said five bad words are allowed.

My cinematic to cinematic contest

Hi there, everyone!

Finally I finished my map to the cinematic contest. It can be watched in multi player game or single player game. But I suggest single player because it does not lag so much, and the timing is perfect.

I have not putted loading screen picture or preview, because it makes the game bigger, and it is all ready too big, in my opinion.

I made this cinematic on time, but it seems the deadline has been changed. Well, here it is anyway.

Thank you for making this funny contest, it is my first contest that I have joined.

lol just when I thought I should get to finish my cinematic. Well now it's not that much of a hurry anymore.

Yea, but still hurry anyways or else you won't finish in time. :D

I am sorry guys, but I'll have to leave this contest.

This duo the reason I have a lack of time (my website, work, and other things).
I want to appologize myself at PurgeandFire111 for leaving it.

Sorry dude,
I will join your challenge another time, when I have more time ofcourse.

~- Heero

Don't worry Heero, it's alright. Thank you for participating!

Im Just Wondering, if im making a battle cinematic (For Future Refrence) if im making a battle cinematic can i have like you know a sarge or some hardened character in the cinematic who curses way way too excessively but if i star out the more (bad?) ones like ****, and hed be the only who curses? Also since the one im working on is a WWII cinematic so theres going to be some nazis of course. Can i have them cursing in german? since i know a bit of the old language? Thx for the answer be it yes or no. also i know its too late for the cinematic since i just got wind of this contest, but its so like if theres another contest you know like some time in the future?

1. Yes, but not over like 5 cusses... Star them out as a solution... Like:
mo**er f*c*er

2. Yes, but I won't know it because I don't speak german

3. Your welcome. :smile:

4. Possibly, but I doubt I'll host one due to school coming up.

Lol... Yea, my bad. 5 bad words are allowed.
Yes :infl_thumbs_up: Thanks purge... :cool:

Your welcome. :smile:

I watched the cinematic but I didn't see a story, plot , climax or resolution. When the leaders were against each other I thought they were going to fight and maybe one of them die but it ended there... :/ Also the terrain looked like one from b.net games. To make it better you could use a lot of custom doodads like trees. There was way too much trees and I didn't see much ground elevation in the flyby scenes. Also to make it look like a cinematic you should never use Blizzard cliff (but maybe in some citadel or dungeon) but raise and low the ground to make it look realistic. In playable games it's useful to use Blizzard cliffs but not in cinematics.

Well, I'm not a terrain expert you see, I have never use any custom cliffs or things like that. I think blizzard cliff is enough for me at least. The reason is because I play everyday ladder in battle.net.

There is story. Loading screen tells the most of the story. Well, I'm not sure where is the climax, but maybe it can be in many places, like when commanders talked to each other at the end. Or it can be the end, where camera went to far away. Yes, here is no end, I think that it is more interesting to have a pointless cinematic and I can also continue it in another cinematic.

Finally, the terrain is not most important thing. I'm here for the cinematic contest, not for the terrain contest. I made that cinematic, terrain was not mine. My friend made it.

Jaakko, I see you must be very good making terrain. Hope your cinematic will be very nice, I like to see your terrain in cinematic!

Well, hello guys!!

This is my cinematic, named Comedy Jam, a random cinematic introducing 5 parts, from Intro to the end.

But it ain't finished yet, maybe 84%, but atleast I tried my best.

The reason: I had so much maps to work on, so much to study and I had to review for highschool examinations next week, and it took me many days to make up all ideas for this cinematic, and we also had a school cheering practice for the intramurals ahead...

I'm a pro terrainer and the terrain is quite good but it has no storyline because it shows up different parts, much similar in concept to the Warcraft III ending credits...

Well, atleast it's still cool and funny and insane too. The main idea of the cinematic was insanity with fun, but not too obvious. You may watch it.....

Next time I join a big contest like this I'll make sure that no major activities occur during those future contests...

Thanks anyway..

No offence but I didn't find this cinematic of yours funny at all.
The main reason for this is that I have already seen and heard those blizzard jokes and pissed sound effects..

But well... someone that hasn't played custom games, listened to warcraft sounds or finished the warcraft campaign might find this funny...

Edit: oh yes I forgot to mention, People get irritated when they are forced to leave through Alt F4, you should add a victory event instead...

Hint: Next time try to do something more original, old jokes are dead jokes.

Everything going as planned. Still four minutes space for ending parts. I will have hard time to keep size and time in the limits. I will propably need to cut time out of somewhere.
EDIT: Ah damn I've been making some estimations and it seems my time is going to get about two minutes over the limit. I had this whole story planned from the beginning but this seems to end badly and I guess I have to consider cutting some part totally out or something. :(

One goblin actor has not contacted me yet so he remains a question mark will he make it. He contacted me yesterday and time is running out. Well I'll get everything right at least for the full release of my cinematic. It seems after all that the full cinematic would be something about at least four more minutes longer. I have only two minutes not done and then I have spend all 20 minutes. Only last scene not done and still little improvements here and there etc. Well making the credits will take some time since I will make the list once I'm ready, so I have to hunt those models down again. That's not a fun part. I could miss somebody in the credits.
EDIT: lol It took me only about one two hours to make the credits list. Many models were made by same persons and I noticed how much some persons have done. There were though a few skins I couldn't find in Hive database like they had vanished.

Now that I've been trying to finish my cinematic it just struck me that maybe I won't have time to see it through as a whole and see some minor things. My filesize is currently a bit over 26 Mb but I will get it easily done though I have over hundred voice lines to import. :/ The last scene is the only one not finished for me, and I hope I will get it right before tomorrow midnight. I can feel the pressure now that I can't slow down anymore to finish this the way I want. Making this cinematic has been a lot of fun but hard work also especially now.
EDIT: Everything done except two minutes ending scene. Hopefully I'll get it right today.

Everything is going as planned. I have now 64 seconds for the final end scene. The time will be almost 20 minutes, 64 seconds to that. The size is just below 26 Mb. This cinematic might have over two hundred voice lines. I feel like a new person now that I'm finally getting the first version out. This is also my first submission to wc3 community maps ever. I will submit it to Hive maps. This cinematic should be worth the time to watch it. I had to remove some scenes dut to the time limit. I will someday make the full version that could be at least five minutes longer.

EDIT: Oh sorry you were right I got it from the map. Thanks. I'm in a hurry now. :)

My kind of a entry:
So it is a unfinished product, where you can see 3 of the options you can those, but only one them are finished 100%, the other is 80% and the last is not added, only the start up to it.
But anywhere here it is, look forward to the real one

Edit: A small update, then my time ran out for today...Hope it is okay, but noticed I srewed a cam, and even if it is unfinished I do want peple to see the action there is...

Edit1:
Oh just for notice, the reson I use a other host site is course attachment dont work for me..

Edit2: Forgot to say, if one of the options have no effect, there is no telling if one of the other options has one.. course it could be I have made that one..

Edit3: Fixed yet an other cam bug. :sad: .. damn I realy hope it was allowed to do, but it spiloed all, made the scene stop. (HSo if allowed dl the new version when you see this, else just judge from the one you got..)

Edit4: Damn! Just noticed some spelling errors, could I be allowed to fix them? Or does it matter Balloon is spelled ballon?

Edit5: Reupload on rapidshare after seeing that some have problem getting it....also a epicwar upload link to those that for resons dont wanna use rapid..

2 minutes and I start uploading. Don't be too accurate with the time I have no idea how much upload will take.
Heh took about 8 9 minutes, but here it is at last:^^ Wohooo!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: When you download it and read size it says for me 25,9 Mb so tell me if I'm wrong I can fix it.
EDIT: Sorry there was a small error in my map. I resend it in a minute... :(
EDIT 3: I'm terribly sorry now it's fixed here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/maps/4802
EDIT 4: I just watched your cinematic Diablo-dk. There was no big story, the terrain was empty and not much music or sound, but it was the most funniest of these three maps I have watched.
EDIT 5: Watching Baron's cinematic now.
EDIT 6: Yeah I could see it was not finished yet Baron.
