Cinematic Contest #5 - Fantasy Weds Modern

[Vinz]

Well, I think it will, since the contests overlap and I kinda wanted to join all of them. :I

So I just applied for judging.

 

[APproject]

That's why we need more participants rather than judges.

Already one minute in.

 

[Hemlock]

Ola fellow Cinematographers,

As the former winner I'd be happy to give a whirl defending the title ^^. I still have a story that I like to film lying around that fits this rough theme called "Red Horizon".

 

[APproject]

Good to see you, Hemlock.

Curse it, I will have to try much harder now because some serious competition awaits.

 

[A Void]

This will get quite interesting. Looking forward to see first WIP's [Video, Images].

 

[_PV]

I'm like new to this, so.. what should our WIP's contain? Like, screenshots of the settings? Teasers? Enlighten me, denizens of the Hive!

 

[GunSlinger]

Just a screenshot of a scene or the map opened in the editor should suffice.

 

[APproject]

Picked Egypt based theme. Cinematic will be called Human Error. Not trying my best at the terrain because of how little of time is given, but it is okay I guess, it might change a bit. Having some fancy HQ text fade filters as well.

[Pharaoh_]

That's interesting, APproject. Egypt <3

 

[_PV]

APproject, you're not going to believe me, but my setting is fairly similar to yours :|
I mean, apart from the fact that yours is actually situated in Egypt, and mine could refer to any arid part of the world xD
I am going to hope the stories differ though :3

 

[GunSlinger]

Will a post-apocalyptic setting count as modern?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes, of course.

 

[APproject]

No worries, _PV. Well, I am not copying any story except it will be mythology / archeology based.

 

[Vinz]

Are we allowed to import MP3 songs/sounds?

 

[Hemlock]

I am mainly re-writting my old cinema script as of yet. I did however make a start with my vision of a scene that appears at the start of the cinematic for your viewing "pleasure"

Red Horizon WIP

Perhaps I am too vanilla (altough I will probably replace some old models) for all these new guys and galls with all those fancy models and lights. I feel so old skool, but we'll see ^^.

 

[Chaosy]

Are we allowed to import MP3 songs/sounds?

It'll be a issue if we aren't allowed to

 

[A Void]

Then it is also an issue if you cant import ripped models from other games. Since both sounds and models are copyrighted, It would be illogical to allow sounds but ignore ripped models.

PS: Unless you can create your own sound/ music files, then it is fine.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Sounds can be imported and derive exclusively from sites with free sounds or open projects that share their content and allow the its use in non-advertising ways (in any case, you need to include them in the credits section). Music, you can use anything really.

Yay! I'll consider joining again. I found a good song and a theme.

Isn't music copyrighted too?

I think that all content ripped models, copyrighted music, copyrighted sounds can be used with Creative Commons license. So who ever put such a stupid rule about not able to use "ripped" models is just being inclusive and false-spreading.

With Creative Commons license you can use material that otherwise might be copyrighted. But you can't make any sort of payment using these materials nor advertising or re-distributing. Basically you have to use the content in non-commercial way.

 

[Vinz]

Oh noes. :<

E: Confused but okay, will proceed.

 

[Vengeancekael]

Oh my gooooooood, Hemlock's joined this? I am definitely watching this contest.

 

[Chaosy]

Ok, I've started at least. The terrain will likely change dramatically but well.. posting for fun.

I need more progress on the triggers before I can show something in action.

[Pharaoh_]

Great to see you guys working on this. Well done

 

[_PV]

I am so mad at myself :S I am currently busy terraining the sets and so far I was brimming with inspiration, but it's like the terrain-work is demotivating me >_< I don't know why, but please tell me I am not the only one with this sort of problem :C

 

[A Void]

Great to see you guys working on this. Well done

Um.. Pharaoh, Can you clear the situation with ripped content, sounds and music?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Models from games other than Blizzard are not allowed. For sounds and music, I've already explained. Personally, I don't mind you using custom music nor will anyone be disqualified. They have been used in the past and no one seemed to care much.

That's Egypt, nothing complex, deserts mainly, that's why I picked this theme as well, because terrain would not require much time.

 

[A Void]

Here is my first WIP, I have used Anti-aliasing and Graphical Card Filters over the game to make it more smooth.

[_PV]

^ Awesome Dawn of War models

 

[APproject]

Looks great. But isn't Warhammer a fantasy? Or that is what you are aiming for?

 

[_PV]

Maybe he isn't using the models as Warhammer models? Like, just using them as modern(badass) soldiers

 

[A Void]

Looks great. But isn't Warhammer a fantasy? Or that is what you are aiming for?

Thanks. Nope, I am just using soldier models just like _PV stated.

^ Awesome Dawn of War models

Thanks.

 

[APproject]

Yeah, soldiers looks modern indeed, except for that captain's armor. Oh well, looks cool and HQ, looking forward to it.

 

[_PV]

Seriously though, If captains in the police or in the army looked like that, There'd be far less crime in the world.. I mean, I for one wouldn't go looking for trouble if I know that guy is waiting for me down town ;D

 

[APproject]

Or most would just laugh for being dressed carnival-like.

 

[A Void]

Or most would just laugh for being dressed carnival-like.

In truth my cinematic will not take place in our universe. So I suppose that I could be excused to use that armor for the captain.

 

[_PV]

2 types of people in this world, I guess xD But we should probably keep this relevant to the thread

 

[A Void]

what do you mean? This will still be a modern-fantasy mix, just not particularly in our [modern] universe. It will be inspired by our universe generally.

[Heinvers]

Pretty cool, models by Longbowman as I see

Oh no I didn't refer to you at any point, I just mean I was starting to drift way off topic with my idea of how bad-ass shit would be if RL captains looked like the Warhammer one you're using xD Irrelevant, right? Don't mind me, really.

Oh and, If I may - a question.. How do you make your UI so awesome? :O
I'm also rather set back because I too had an idea to make my cinematic from a first person perspective D:

Don't lose hope, I have requested to be a judge on this contest. I don't know if they will pick me or not. Nevertheless, don't give up. You have millions of free creative ideas to implement, just have fun.

The UI is a fade filter, nothing else there..

 

[_PV]

Oh lord I understand xD
Haven't opened the WE in months.. (Varsity.. Yay)
I totally forgot the use of fade filters Thanks!

 

[APproject]

As for the first person view you seem to be really tall there.

 

[_PV]

Are rips from non Blizzard Games allowed in the cine?

Unfortunately not (I like those too).

wait wut

 

[A Void]

wait wut

Those are not ripped. They were all created for Warcraft III, textures(Soldier textures, captain) on the other hand were ripped. :/

Every author of the resource will be put out at the end credits.

PS: Those soldier models are a remake of Warhammer ones, textures were ripped however and applied to the mesh itself.

As for the first person view you seem to be really tall there.

It's still a WIP. Isn't it?

 

[_PV]

I just posted that cause I was busy checking out some sites for some models and such, and then I wondered if I was allowed to D:
Thought I'd warn anybody following the thread up until now

Yeah, It's a shame that you can't use ripped models. I would extract some high quality neat ones.

 

[Chaosy]

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

 

[_PV]

Haha xD I am like a serial-plagiarist (in my unconscious state), it would seem xD
Like, my desert Idea is used by Aaproject, and Void already nailed the 1st-person camera D:

Guess I'll make a snowy plain with 3rd-person camera, then
