Cinematic Contest #3 - Sorrow

[Avator]

Just a few questions...

Can we ignore leaks, as long as they don't lead to lag?

Like Kingz said: Yes. As long as it doesn't cause issues seen by the viewer it's ok.

Is having a black and white film going to give me a disadvantage on atmosphere?

That depends on you: If a black and white filter matches your cinematic story, it would give you bonus points in the atmosphere part.

Has voice acting been a huge factor in these contests?

It's not going to be judged on by the judges, but it could be possible that the public will give more votes to cinematics with voice-acting then to cinematics without, even though it'll probably won't be very much I think. It's your choice



Good luck in the contest

 

[bounty hunter2]

. . . .

lets not talk about it hmm?>.>

I got an idea for a mentally retarded someone that will eventually die.

Has been done in a real movie I think umm...

 

[Vicboy]

I probably won't, especially considering recent events.

what events

 

[ArcticInferno]

The cheating drama shit.

 

[Mechmap]

My cinematic is going slowly since I'm also working on a campaign that I at least want to have chapter one done. After that I'll start concentrating on this contest.

 

[Just_Spectating]

Has been done in a real movie I think umm...

but mine will be about a NEEEEEEENNNJAAA!!!

 

[bounty hunter2]

I do hope this ain't spam and you are serious in this

 

[Just_Spectating]

oh you'll be surprised

 

[Avator]

If your cinematic is about a mentally retarded ninja, I don't really get the feeling it's going to be sad. Don't know where that feeling comes from though...

 

[Vicboy]

Is it any better?

I turned trees to doodads so they can randomly resize.

I finally found the BLP path of flowers.

I started unflattening the land.

I added a desaturated Dalaran sky.

Placed some doodads.

rezult

Any better now?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I wonder how many of us will tell a story about children?

 

[Avator]

How come you wonder? Yours is about children and got something special about it?

 

[Kingz]

Well children dying or being crippled is what will make most people sad...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

How come you wonder? Yours is about children and got something special about it?

Well, mine and Vicboy's themes are at least something about children.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Mine doesn't have much children in it, perhaps some memories.

Vic: The trees still look the same size.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Mine doesn't have much children in it, perhaps some memories.

Vic: The trees still look the same size.

Ye, but it still have some.

 

[Kingz]

Mine doesn't

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Mine doesn't

Then you must have something epic in your cinematic!

 

[Kingz]

Meh, first cinematic ever, joined just for fun

 

[Avator]

I don't have children in mine either. It does contain a memory of the main person's youth, but he's a young adult then

And before you ask me the same question: My cinematic will blow everybody's mind! You'll won't even come close to my stardom cinematic

 

[Vicboy]

What? Trees still size the same? Maybe it's the hills giving it the same look :-|

Honestly, I don't think my cinematic has an in-depth story. I haven't thought much yet.

Do we really need an in-depth story? Can't we just kill them all?

Btw, aero, I don't trust you... Hmmm....

 

[Avator]

It's all your choice. Your goal is to make it sad, so if you just kill hundreds at the same time without anything specific to care about, you'll won't score very high.

PS: Resize that image or put it in hidden tags please. It's bigger then your post...

 

[Aeroblyctos]

I think the cinematic should be depth enough at least for the main character so the story will also be sad. You need to introduce your character(s) in your cinematic well and in the end if for example one dies the watcher will be sad also!

Oh well... I explained badly.

 

[Avator]

That's just one way to make a story a sad one. You don't have to explain the main character, you can have multiple characters for that matter. You don't have to make someone die, leaving them or hurting someone can do the trick as well.

Anything is possible, it's mainly the execution that makes someone get the feeling it's sad (as long as the story is sad ofcourse).

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yea, but if there's a guy walking on a street, then suddenly a huge peon comes and kills the guy. That isn't sad at all.

 

[Vicboy]

I guess I'll make a story about my little peon.

 

[bounty hunter2]

Cut of the useless spam, thanks.

 

[Eccho]

Hmm... I really want to enter. I got a very sweet idea now, I think. However Im not sure I will manage in time :/

 

[Bob27]

Progress on my cinematic is going well, and i've got a fair bit of the cinematic done. Here are two new screenshots of a scene I just completed.

 

[Eccho]

Hey that looks pretty nice. Nice idea... A fire:d

 

[Avator]

Looks very good, Bob27. Nice work with the lightning too

 

[Vicboy]

The fire thingy is cool... How did you do that?

 

[Avator]

Now, you can all be amazed and notice you don't have the slightest chance of winning, for I, Avator, have the key to assaulting the first place and leave you mediocre modders far behind me

One of the key parts to your doom!

This high-poly model will allow me to use extreme detail. It's so detailled that I can make expressions on the face by animating the mouth, eyes and even eyebrows! You don't have a chance. MUHAHAHAHA!

 

[bounty hunter2]

Not bad not bad at all. I'd like to see some of those animations ingame. =)

 

[Bob27]

The fire thingy is cool... How did you do that?

I just used a few custom light models and used this model pack.

Fire, Shrapnel, Smoke, & Explosions - Wc3campaigns

All the fire models I used in that screenshot should be in that pack.

Looks great, I look forward to seeing what it looks like in-game when its animated.

 

[Eccho]

Avator, dont forget. The models is not everything

 

[Vicboy]

I can imagine the voice and lips desync.

 

[Eccho]

Meh, they always are? Blizzards own ones are not even that good.

 

[Kingz]

Eccho why not join?
I need to know why doesn't my sky display? I use fellwood sky but most of the time it doesn't show properly ingame o.0
Anyway i am bored right now se here is a wip:

 

[Avator]

@Eccho: I've got a great story that'll be wicked with these models, so don't worry about that ^^

@Vicboy: I'm first getting the voices and then do that part of the animating. I've got it all covered

 

[Eccho]

Kingz, not bad. It looks very lonely._.

And yes, I am still thinking if I am should join or not. I better make up my mind quick though, before it is too late.

 

[Just_Spectating]

do credits and stuff count as time in the cinematic?

 

[bounty hunter2]

Yes, everything counts until the victory conditions bumps in. Ofcourse if your cinematic lasts 20 minutes and 30 seconds it will be okay.

 

[Just_Spectating]

ok cool.

I was thinking of making a really long one with alot of side plots and stuff.

i might not finish though
..

 

[Eccho]

"victory conditions bumps in"

Mmm, but I would rather see it just exiting

 

[Just_Spectating]

how about Defeat conditions? they allow you to replay the cinematic if you want Lol

 

[Eccho]

true. Or start the map again manually

 

[bounty hunter2]

Does it matter, you know what I meant, let's not spam about that please. Thanks =)

 

[lord_ken]

Is CMarket really joining this contest? I noticed the "?" at the end of his name.

 

[Bob27]

Is CMarket really joining this contest? I noticed the "?" at the end of his name.

If I remember correctly he said that he might try and make something for the contest if he had enough time.
