Cinematic Contest #2 - Love Story

[Hawkwing]

You may. The terrain would look pretty poor without it. Make sure you get the credits off that map though.

 

[Restor]

be sure you will import this one "Fall in Love" - Buff/Attachment - Wc3campaigns :-D

 

[Thrikodius]

It was about the first idea I had in this.
BTW: You can find it on THW to.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

This ain't a picture of the actual cinematic, just a teaser\preview of what it’s going to be about. Models (besides house and love effect) by madcd.

 

[Pyritie]

Those are some massive donuts.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Those are some massive donuts.

The bigger the better!

I might adjust the size in the cinematic though..

 

[Hawkwing]

You might? No, you will.

You should consider changing the texture on those doughnut boxes. It's really irritating me right now.

I agree, but I don't really know what to make them look like. And I can't skin very well (*cough* can't skin worth beans that is). But if you're willing to do it, I'll give you the skin to edit.

P.S: I allready have adjusted the size of the donuts for the beggining scene of the cinematic.

 

[LiOneSS]

If anyone needs a cheesy love story, pm me. xD I'm a pro for that kind of stuff


oh and I might join :3

 

[Mr.Goblin]

What about the story of a goblin that lost his chicken robot? that could be funny

 

[Mechmap]

I guess that if he loved the robot.. or something else that got to do with love comes in...

 

[Thrikodius]

I've started on the terrain.

This is going to be one of the main sceenes of the cinematic. Only problem is that if I cover everything with the grass model (made by HT I think) the cinematic will become laggy as hell. What should I do?
Cause I really need a meadow on wich they can run toward each other with a pink, slightly tranperant fade filter. High grass would fit really good for that.

 

[Mechmap]

Do trees around the meadow?

You could space the grass farther apart, and use some bushes\trees around the edges like mechmap said.

I need voice actors and a better skin for the donut box, but otherwise Im making progress.

why not simply making the view like... really close to the ground... so you could simply use a ''LINE'' of this long grass .. instead of the HOLE terrain

[Thrikodius]

Well there will be more angles to that sceene that the one showing. I suppose I could space up the grass a little and not make any cameras from above.
I need voice actors to. If anyone is interrested please post or send me a pm.

 

[Nbah]

Will voice acting grant you extra points? Or will it be neglected?

 

[Avator]

It would be nice for the player to hear voices. This gives them more focus on the events on the screen instead of having to read the text all the time.
Some people completely fill the bar with text while showing something nice, which is very annoying. In such a case people will have to choose to either read what's being said or see what's happening.

I don't think it'll effect the judging, but you'll probably score more points with the public poll.


PS: 25% by public poll is not power to the people in my opinion.

 

[Nbah]

Hmmm, myes. You put it in a good way. I was thinking maybe I could do voice acting (and I probably will) since there's a lot of story going on in my cinematic. I am not very fond of the public poll. Most people just watch the cinematic's of the more familliar users and leave the others as if they are not worth they're time.

 

[Pyritie]

Will voice acting grant you extra points? Or will it be neglected?

If you can get good voice acting, it can be a plus. But if your voice acting sucks, then it'll badly affect your score.

 

[Nbah]

How would I know if my voice acting is of lesser quality (suitable voice for character, non-annoying voice [excluding background noises and that stuff] ) until I sumbit my submission?

 

[Avator]

Well if you're voice actors are all Windows text-to-speech bots, then you're sure to fail unless you only use machines in your map. If your voice actors are real people but got a monotone voice like a Windows text-to-speech bot, then you're also screwed. I think nearly everything else is marked as a + for your map.

 

[bounty hunter2]

I am in!

 

[Thrikodius]

Meadow fixed. Now it's a little less laggy than it would have been. I added some trees to, mostly Japanese Cherry. Also I made the forest. The Ogre will sleep, sitting against the tree behind him.

 

[Mr.Goblin]

wow nice forest.. really... a really carton warcraftish effect..

 

[bounty hunter2]

I am doing a non dialog music only cinematic. Going fine by now will finish soon.

Quick WIP

 

[Thrikodius]

Looks a little dramatic. Very good effect with the clouds.
+rep

 

[bounty hunter2]

Thanks, it is a dramatic love story actualy, the cinematic name is agony

 

[Thrikodius]

My cinematic name is Awkward Affection.

 

[Nbah]

Here's one from me. It's a dramatic love story, too. Haven't decided on a name yet.

WIP:

 

[bounty hunter2]

My cinematic name is Awkward Affection.

sounds dirty xD

Nbah - not much is seen but it looks okay.

 

[Thrikodius]

My cinematic name is Awkward Affection.

sounds dirty xD

Well falling in love with a spider would be kinda Awkaward don't you think?

 

[bounty hunter2]

Indeed it would. Especialy if you are an ogre . Anyway how long will your cinematics be?

 

[Thrikodius]

I don't know yet. More than 2 min and less than 10 min.

BTW: Thanks for the extra gem!
BTOW: 600th post!

 

[bounty hunter2]

3 gems now

Anyhow I will try to put more WIP-s and oh, does anybody know how many competitors are there?

 

[Elite Slayer]

Unfortunately, due to time management issues as well as a busy schedule, I have too little time to complete my submission.

Therefore, I am forced to forfeit my submission, so I'm out of this.
My apologies.
Hope it goes well for everyone else, though

 

[bounty hunter2]

too bad.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I might enter, I've found this great 2:07 long classical piece that would fit great for a tragical love-story. We'll see where it goes, I'll wait and see how good the competition is before I decide to enter with my creation to come or not. C

an't have a loss on my perfect record after all

 

[bounty hunter2]

Nooeez even more competition. I have a 3.20 love dramatic song

 

[Nbah]

ragingspeedhorn, just eliminated our chances of winning....

Just kidding 0.0

...... or am I *X-files theme*

lol

No he didnt

 

[Nbah]

Oh, you don't know him. He is one tough cookie.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Oh but I do remember him from somewhere, Wc3C or maybe the old mapsandmods site. Anyhow good competitors are always good to have for motivation.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Well, I haven't worked on my cinematic in about a week, so I might not get it done in time. (allthough I am working on it right now, and will on the weekends as well)

Btw, I had to change the terrian in this screenshot a lot, and I was dissapointed of how bad it came out..

 

[bounty hunter2]

whats with the pointy mountains? Looks cool and strange I thought they were tree tops.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

I know, I know.. Im not happy with the way it looks really, Ill probably work on it more later.

 

[Nbah]

Why? I think they're cool too ^_^

 

[Linaze]

HeretoDLstuff, I like all about your terrain except for those sharp mountain tops, tbh. Try smoothing them a bit, perhaps?

 

[tyeeeee1]

Um... im not sure if this is still open, but i saw at the front page it said comedy so heres my submission, its not the best (My first cinamatic)

 

[Hawkwing]

It's still open, it's just not a comedy theme.
