[Cinematic] Cinematic Mini-Contest #1

[ragingspeedhorn]

I agree with Mini-Me on that, which is also why I didn't watch Jaakko's cinematic.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Yeah same here, Kitabatake also got protected map.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Oh,nice!Entries are closed gotta watch them all right now!

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Yay! Ima go watch em all...And im sure jaakkos is well worth watching, protected or not.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I am really suprised about how many entries came in this, I thought that only a handfull would enter and even less actually complete, this has been a big succes!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Yeah,me too.I thought there were about 5-6 completed cinematics.Now they are 11?

 

[Just_Spectating]

damn, these are all so good

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

You gotta decide in the end!

 

[Just_Spectating]

i think i already found my winner lol.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Yeah, I just finished watching them all...Ive dicided on who to vote, but they were all good.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I have only watched one.So,i have lots of work to do.When is the poll coming?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Bob27 seems to have gone to bed so at least not today.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Ok.Oh and something else.
No offense to Kitabatake...but..
Your cinematic sucked.

 

[Waldbaer]

Sometimes there may be a great cinamatic but without an escape function, but that won't mean that it is unprofessional, just a thought.

No, I didn't want to say that the whole cinematic is unprofessional without an escape function, even less if the cinematic is just a minute in length!
Anyways, e.g. I am searching for a cinematic and don't remember it's name, so I start some in wc3 and often after some seconds I may realize that the started one is not the one I search for. It's a little disappointing if I can't just escape the cinematic then but have to quit and relaunch whole wc3. This is just a lack of comfort for the watcher, but it's so easy to make better (one trigger: Player skips cinematic | fade out 1 second | wait 1 second | victory not showing anything; and that's all!), so just do it - that's my opinion.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

About the escaping from cinematic. I will tell you why I did not do it.
- The cinematic is only 1 min long
- My cinematic is also watchable in battle.net(if someone leaves there will be a text that I cannot delete)
- I have putted all my other cinematics "escape button" thing

I don't wanna comment about Waldbaer's review about the cinematics but I have to say one thing: it's only his/her own opinion.

Ok.Oh and something else. No offense to kitabatake...but.. Your cinematic sucked.

In my opinion, it was the most entertain cinematic. I had to watch 5 times in row before I was satisfied. It was so funny(I was watching it in battle.net with friends, so don't think I'm crazy! ).

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

What was so funny? It was just a upside down blademaster killing peasants.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

The music was very funny! Also it was so senseless.

 

[HeretoDLstuff]

Oh, I see...I was doing it with the sound off. =/

 

[Waldbaer]

I don't wanna comment about Waldbaer's review about the cinematics but I have to say one thing: it's only his/her own opinion.

To take you unsureness: for me you can use "his"!

By the way: I did not give any rating which can be compared between the cinematics, so keep that in mind. Cinematics which got some "-" points from me are not necessarily bad - not even in my opinion!

Oh, I see...I was doing it with the sound off. =/

Well than it's really bad, not surprising!

 

[Kitabatake]

(Don't forget to turn sounds and musics on before watching)

Oh, I see...I was doing it with the sound off. =/

Yep yep. That reminder is there for a reason.

I was already considering to put that warning on the loading screen also but then I thought that nobody would watch a cinematic without having sounds on...


Oh and I would appreciate it if you didn't spoil all the content in your comments thank you.

 

[Just_Spectating]

kitabatake, the music was chacarron huh. lol

 

[Aeroblyctos]

What do you mean by "chacarron" ?

 

[Jaakko]

If you can't open Warcraft III to play a map then that is really lazy, one of the laziest things I have ever heard. And btw Aeroblyctos you protect your maps so I don't understand what you have to complain if there is a problem. I always play maps through Warcraft unless I'm testing my own map. There's nothing I can do about it and it was not my intention that it would not open with WE. I find it a bit offending if somebody can't play a map just because it does not open with WE, but I don't really care will you watch it or not, but you won't be able to vote in the poll.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Why won't we be able to vote in the poll whether or not we have watched it? We just don't vote for your submission.

 

[Jaakko]

Well you sound really mean. You lazy evil man. To vote in a poll without watching all entries is not cool.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It was not to be mean, it was more stating the facts

And there is a lot of entries, I don't think the majority of the voters will watch all cinematics before voting.

 

[Just_Spectating]

What do you mean by "chacarron" ?

the name of the kitabatake's cinematic song is chacharron

 

[kmatt]

My Goal

My Goal is not always to win but to have fun
-Some of you people are way to serious try to play around and have fun.


Ooo Also I hope somebody learned from my mistakes

 

[Just_Spectating]

Aeroblyctos, the song is just called Chacarron. i dont know what it means, and the song is really just ueuooauobhaourouahahoruaohoohnahourhoahouarhouruaururuauauoauuaa

 

[Kitabatake]

I just think EVERYONE should be given a fair chance.

Exactly! That is why EVERYONE must follow the rules.

 

[Bob27]

ok, Jaakko can update his cinematic so that it can open in normal WE. Thats all hes allowed to do though.

Its only one function, and its not as if him taking out a function is gonna increase the quality of his cinemtic or anything, all its doing is giving him a chance for people to vote for him (those people who are too lazy to open up wc3).

Ok, i'm gonna delete all of the posts to do with this, since its basically just spam atm.

 

[Jaakko]

Thanks so much for understanding. I updated the map and it can be found from the same link I gave earlier.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I don't think that's serious.Anyway.Good luck to all of us!!!I liked all the cinematics so far!
(not Kitabatake's one xD)

 

[Kitabatake]

No offense to Kitabatake...but..
Your cinematic sucked.

I liked all the cinematics so far!

HAHAHAHA
yeah right

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I didn't talked about yours xD
Why did you created a cinematic like this???

 

[Kitabatake]

I didn't talked about yours xD

(not Kitabatake's one xD)

Lame edit!

TO WIN TEH CONTEST!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Come on.There's no way to win with a map like this.You should have created something more serious.

 

[Waldbaer]

Anyways, it's a nice try and better than nothing, I think!

Another thing, since Bob deleted the whole posts instead of just the parts concerning the "Jaako-Problem": Since cinematic music is often essential for the cinematic, I recommend to play them as sounds (also the action "play music theme does this) instead of music. Many people (including me) have turned the music off normally while playing to listen to their own music, so this may prevent some disappointments.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Yes, playing as sound also makes it able for you to make it loop which I am not sure is able with music? Or atleast I have had some trouble with that a few years ago.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I can't wait for the poll!I am so excited.Do you think people I might win something?

 

[Kitabatake]

Yes, playing as sound also makes it able for you to make it loop which I am not sure is able with music? Or atleast I have had some trouble with that a few years ago.

Warcraft cannot loop any music or sound properly, there will ALWAYS be a small (about 1 second) silence between the loops.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Kitabatake is right, but you can always cut some parts of the music so it sounds like there is no silence between loops. Example I will always cut some parts when I put musics to my games so it feels like there is no silence, just the music.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Aeroblyctos I would to comment your map:
It is good.The idea rocked!But poorly made and too much spells that make it kinda boring.Pretty good though.7/10.

I made my cinematic poorly? No I didn't. I spend some time to making it. I think the special effects were nice and I like them by myself. All other cinematic expect Kitabatake's awesome cinematic there are always a fight between two guys. That's a boring and too popular idea. I have same kind of idea, but they are not fight, it's a slaughter!

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Your cinematic was good.But you spend MUCH time on the spells scene.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Of course, that was the point of the cinematic. I wanted to show ya what I can do with special effects.

 

[Restor]

Well, I think that the winner is almost certain. I forgot his name but but that scene with gnoll was superb. I can imagine this can be part of some greater cin.

But i must be proud of myself cos I opened WE and finished some map last time maybe two years ago

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Waldbear made a really good cinematic, but nothing is certain just yet, both the public votes and judge points counts.

He might score high on the actuall battle but low on per say terrain where some other cinematic might get a higher score on that evening that out.

 

[Waldbaer]

Of course, that was the point of the cinematic. I wanted to show ya what I can do with special effects.

You succeeded in that, no doubt!

@Restor: Thanks for your vote!
At the moment I don't plan to extend it in any way because I have to focus on my campaign again, but if you would like to do so, you are allowed to!

well, I might take some ideas from it, not the whole cin
