[Hawkwing]

Commence cinematography!

 

[Mechmap]

Damnit! So many contests are on and now this one comes finally.

Well, I'll see if I can make one to this contest.

 

[Septimus]

Hmm.. I would be interested to judge this contest.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Again comedy theme? Oh come on moderators. Give something new... I think comedy is perhaps the most stupid theme because you can't create any great battles or anything serious... And it's hard to find a good music for comedy theme.

I think this is a fail... Sorry!

 

[Mechmap]

You can create whatever you like only if its funny. Do a serius grand battle if you want.

Personally, I think there shouldn't be a theme. It only limits yourself.

 

[Hawkwing]

Damnit! So many contests are on and now this one comes finally.

Well, I'll see if I can make one to this contest.

There are two other major mapping contests as well, but they are coalitions of art and mapping. The Campaign Contest and the Paired Mapping Contest.

Hmm.. I would be interested to judge this contest.

Firelord213 is judging, but he wants another judge. If you're up for it then sure.

Yeah, well it wasn't me idea. I just post the threads. I could talk to Septimus or Firelord213 and get their opinions on just removing the theme.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I think better theme is needed to get more people. Good themes could be: A battle cinematic, a love cinematic or a party(carnival) cinematic.

 

[Hawkwing]

The votes have been cast.

~ Theme changed.

 

[Rui]

;\ the deadline's far too early, I guess I'll have to skip this one too. I wouldn't have time anyway, so bleh.

 

[Linaze]

Good work on the new theme, wish I could make something for it, but my comp just fucked up so I had to reboot and lost Warcraft etc.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I'll join! My cinematic is going to be epic and it'll be related to the campaign I have been creating one year.

 

[Hawkwing]

;\ the deadline's far too early, I guess I'll have to skip this one too. I wouldn't have time anyway, so bleh.

If there's need for an extension we'll have one. If not we wont.

 

[Restor]

love hmm? I have one idea but if I can make it into 10 min. hmmm?

 

[Hawkwing]

It can't be longer than 10 minutes.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Are we allowed to use various systems and such, like the cinematic system at wc3c?

I might enter if I'll get a good idea.

 

[Hawkwing]

As long as you give credit to it's creator.

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Unlucky for me that the theme has changed.
I was thinking about making a Warcraft version of the Hotel Mario introduction cutscene (using my Mario models of course). xD

 

[madcat2]

Coolness I'm, in.

 

[Mechmap]

Damnit again! I guess I could weave in a love story in the humor cinematic I had planned.

 

[Avator]

I think I got a really neat idea for a love story, but to give it a real story, it'll need a good background. If that has to fit in 10 minutes, it'll probably not be such a great story

Anyway, I'm probably not entering anyway since the cinematics must be made all alone, and I'm terrible with terraining and I can't make my triggers leakless
I don't know if it's allowed to share idea's, but if so: Then I'd be willing to tell whoever is looking for a story (who is sure to enter the contest). If it's made, I might make a Single Player version of my A for Assassin map (No, the MP version is not released yet! It's under construction) and place that cinematic in it!
But that's all if it's allowed to exchange cinematic idea's.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Aslong as your triggers does not cause the map to lag it does not matter how shitty a triggerer you are Avator, because your triggering abilities is not under the scope:

Entertainment - /20
Creativity - /20
Storyline - /20



I think I will be doing a mixture of drama, love affair and battle in my cinematic.

 

[Avator]

I think I'm quite a decent triggerer (except for the anti-leak part). I just suck at terraining! xD

Several screenshots of terrain and gameplay

So I guess terrain does count. Even if it didn't count for the points, it still gives a very crappy overall look.


By the way: Are voice-actors marked as project partners, or are they allowed in this competition?

 

[Elite Slayer]

I'm in for sure!

 

[Restor]

I am sure voice actors are not marked as map creators.


this will be very hard to make story which will fit wc3 engine

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

I allways wanted to make a cinematic, but I never got around to it.

I may join this if I have time.

 

[The_Silent]

i'm in

 

[Mechmap]

In the rules they say you must post a WIP of the cinematic. That cant be right can it?

Also it says several screenshots to show off gameplay? What gameplay? Its a cinematic!

 

[Restor]

It is when you make screenshot during cinematic, i.e. it will show the dialogue screen or etc.

 

[Hawkwing]

Yeah yeah yeah. Gimme some time to adjust the rules. We don't have a template for the cinematic contest rules yet.

In the rules they say you must post a WIP of the cinematic. That cant be right can it?

It can and it is.

 

[Mechmap]

Oh come on. A cinematic is not meant to be viewed before it is completed. Than it will just make everybody know what the story is about.

 

[Hawkwing]

We need proof that it's yours. I don't care whether it ruins the surprise or not.

 

[Mechmap]

Could we post a map without any triggers? Just the terrain?

 

[Pyritie]

Or you could just PM it to him.

 

[Hawkwing]

I suppose. As long as we have proof that it's yours.

 

[madcat2]

Can we use sounds, like voices for the characters?

Also lets say if it does go over a bout a minutes or so how would that effect the score for every minute over? or can we just not go over no matter what?

 

[Hawkwing]

Can we use sounds, like voices for the characters?

Umm. Why wouldn't you be able to?

Also lets say if it does go over a bout a minutes or so how would that effect the score for every minute over? or can we just not go over no matter what?

If you're like 20 or 30 seconds under or over nothing will happen, but if it's not within those exceptions it will be disqualified.

 

[madcat2]

Alright.

 

[Bob27]

Ok I am going to try and enter this, I have a good idea of what to make.

 

[Firelord213]

PM me the WIP. I wont watch it.
Then when you're finished I'll watch the finished one first.

 

[Kwah]

Hrm, I might join if I have time.

 

[Hawkwing]

Firelord and Septimus are judges. They'll decide if a submission meets the rules and standards.

 

[Thrikodius]

Love theme... An Ogre who falls in love with an already married spider... The only way I could do love theme is to make it a parody.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Well, make a combination between love & humor.

 

[Thrikodius]

If I join I will. It would be totally senseless just like my RoC parody where for example Lillydan (Illidan) turned into a Night Elf/Butterfly meld and fought DvO's Nightmare Sheep. Telling a serious love story isn't my thing, even less making a cinematic about it.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yup, well I actually have some benefits because the cinematic is based on the campaign I have been making. So the campaign gives bonuses to the cinematic actually.

I have not yet started to make it. After 2.7 is released.

 

[Thrikodius]

Now I have been thinking and come up with a pretty nice idea. It will be the Ogre/Spider idea. So I'm in.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Good to hear. I hope I can laugh when I watch your cinematic. Good luck!

 

[Thrikodius]

Thanks. Good luck to you to whenever you start.

 

[Nbah]

Can I by any chance use the Ultimate Terraining Map 3.0 for use. It will greatly unlimit my choices of terrain.
