[Mechmap]

well, this time I will join with a cinematic. And now there is a 2 minute time limit instead of one. Jippee! I'm In.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Good luck to all contestants, may the best cinematic win. If you have any questions which you wish to ask me then don't be shy.

 

[Mechmap]

I'm thinking about doing some adventures going into a vampires cave.

Edit: Not going to do a vampire cave but an old mine instead.

 

[FireMaster]

I will join.
My idea is a group of humans into a undead citadel.

 

[TotallyRandom]

I'll join this.. im just not sure i'll finish it but i'll try...

 

[Bob27]

I am also going to join. I'll post some screenshots of my cinematic once i've got most of the terrain and some of the cameras done.

 

[Cheesemonkey994]

Only two minutes? Then I guess my cinematic is out. =P

I'll just make a new one >.>.

 

[Modo]

If I can find the time I will enter. Now I have to decide whether I want an unseen threat or something more visible.

What do you consider "horror". All horror movies I know of are either gore or suspense, sometimes both. I think I will look up dictionary.com and go by their definition.

EDIT: My cinematic will be called Delirium Tremens. According to dictionary.com, it means

a withdrawal syndrome occurring in persons who have developed physiological dependence on alcohol, characterized by tremor, visual hallucinations, and autonomic instability

I found this term whilst looking up what horror means. I now know exactly what I am doing.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

By horror I ofcourse refer to the style of movies, comics, books and more. Which everyone seemed to understand besides from you, Modo.

As long as your entry is somehow either meant to be scary, involve gore, monsters or the like, then it fits the criteria of horror.

 

[donut3.5]

Psychological horrors can be more horrific than zombies any day.

[ragingspeedhorn]

Try making that succesfully in Wc3, in 2 weeks, with the lenght of 2 minutes. Now stop complaining.

 

[Volvox]

I'm new at cinematics but i'll try hard. My idea is: 2 mages enter the ruined night elf city now owned by undead and they get ambushed by just a group of assassins? Nope, something has to kill them

 

[donut3.5]

I actually wasn't complaining, I was just saying I liked Modo's idea
--donut3.5--

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

hmm i dont know if im going in, wait by adding me until i found out

 

[Restor]

hmm, i'm in, 2 min are just enought imo

 

[Daedin]

Alright, sign me up dudes!

 

[money-meow]

Wait, umm was I the idea of this? Is this my thing. XD

Edit:

I will join.
My idea is a group of humans into a undead citadel.

Just wondering how is that horror?

 

[MadseN]

I'll join , might even finish my cinematic this time

Loading Screen done anyway !

/MadseN

 

[Jaakko]

I just might do something if I get an idea.

 

[gan_ws]

I will maybe join this contest, but i'm not sure whether i can make it in time..

 

[Volvox]

I'm afraid i'm out of this, got some terraining tasks that need to be done.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I actually wasn't complaining, I was just saying I liked Modo's idea
--donut3.5--

Just came out negative, my apologies.

@MadseN - Very well made loadingscreen, MadseN. Looks good so far. The text should just be darker.

 

[Mechmap]

I'll join , might even finish my cinematic this time

Loading Screen done anyway !

/MadseN

That loading screen is awesome, i got to come up with some good loading screen myself. And i really hope you finish it.

 

[Jaakko]

I don't know a single good horror song and without a song I can't do anything.

 

[Mechmap]

I have found my music i think, named Lost Caverns. Fits pretty well to my cinematic.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I don't know a single good horror song and without a song I can't do anything.

You could always just find a random nu-metal song and create some zombie action.

 

[Jaakko]

What is nu-metal?

Here is propably best horror song http://youtube.com/watch?v=iMlF2PNgN70 ^^

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Slipknot, KoRn, Marilyn Manson, Dope and many many others.

 

[Jaakko]

I would need the song to be without any singing. Something that sounds mysterious etc.
EDIT: I have some kind of idea now but the song is still missing.
EDIT2: I finally found a few cool songs. Now if I just have motivation to do the cinematic.

 

[Mechmap]

Some thing made my map corrupted, so i have to start over again. But i can hopefully finish in time anyway.

 

[Lord_of_sausage]

corrupted ofc its corrupted, its a horror cinematic!

 

[Mechmap]

corrupted ofc its corrupted, its a horror cinematic!

LOL big time!! But it's not corrupted in that way. The only thing thats wrong is that values screw up. Instead of an "." there is an ",", I don't get why it shows up when I import music but i guess its the musics fault.

 

[gan_ws]

Do we need to sign up for the contest? Where to upload the project after finish it?

 

[Grazz]

Since this is not going to take too much time, I decided to give it a try.

 

[Jaakko]

Do we need to sign up for the contest? Where to upload the project after finish it?

I think you can attach the finished map in this thread or put it in hiveworkshop maps section.

 

[Mechmap]

OK, I have started over again and will make a simple cinematic this time. Though it will be good i think.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You need to attach your map to a submission post in this thread.

 

[money-meow]

Hey Ragingspeedhorn, since I sort of came up with the Idea of this. Can I sort of help rate the videos?

 

[Cheesemonkey994]

We should've made this in between October.

 

[PurgeandFire]

I sensed this was coming.

I MIGHT join. I'm not sure tho. GL all anyways.

 

[Jaakko]

But it is okay to get a few voice actors?
EDIT: Oh cool, I think I have now a perfect storyline idea. I just hope it will fit in the two minutes.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

You can get people to make models, icons, skins, voice acting and what not. You just have to make the map yourself.

And no, money-meow, you can't help rate the videos.

 

[Martin Barbov]

I may join if I finish on time

 

[Jaakko]

Oh two minutes is so little time. I made the beginning camera movement only to realise it would take a minute.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The 2 minute restriction is so everybody is equall and for the fact that this is a mini contest. If it was a major contest there would be a much larger limit.

 

[Jaakko]

Ok. Well I have to cut out the story drastically but I will make it a complete short story. And you propably understand I can't fit much terrain in two minutes either?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

That is your own decision. Having bad terrain just because the cinematic is 2 minutes long is no excuse, if that is what you meant. What there is should always be of high quality, no matter what the lenght is.

I didn't mean quality I meant quantity.

 

[Jaakko]

So how are you people doing? I am over 50%. More precisely the time was 1:44 and I still haven't done the final part. I propably have to get a few seconds from somewhere and I just might make it for 2:00. It is okay to have credits in loading screen I assume?
