[Cinematic] Cinematic Mini-Contest #2

[ragingspeedhorn]

Yes it is.

You can also exceed 2 minutes, it will just cause you to get a penalty in points when I am doing the judging. For each 10 seconds overtime you will receive a new penalty.

 

[Mechmap]

I guessing that the credits don't count as a real part of the cinematic as they didn't in the last contest either.

Overall I have done almost nothing cause we went on a school trip. But i am going to finish it.

Contest Rules And Conditions

4. All cinematics cannot go on for no longer than 2 minutes in total, including credits.

That means that the credits must be included within the 2 minutes this time. The reason for the extended 2 minute lenght was due to credit related issues.

 

[Jaakko]

But loading screen does not count as time.

 

[Mechmap]

Oh, man, credits included?!

Luckly i dont know if i have any credits. If i dont i will just set my name at the loading screen. All the credits i need!

Anyway here's my loading screen but i might change it because of the road, just ignore it for now:

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The picture itself looks okay, but the text? Hardly readable and brown on black/blue? Nonono.

 

[money-meow]

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

Are you going to reply to this? Or did you just not see it.

 

[Mechmap]

Yeah its a little hard to see, but I will change it anyway when I have time. Have completed the first scene of my cinematic by the way.

Edit: I cant find any better screenshot, so i'll just update the one i posted so you can see the text better and with my name on it.

Edit2: Ok, I've made the loading screen with a more goldish colour text instead. Like it better?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Are you going to reply to this? Or did you just not see it.

Ehem...

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

^^

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I am going to enter!

I am going to base my cinematic a bit on raging's Escape,and will make something like this!May the best win!

 

[Killface]

I might try this. No promises on completing it by deadline since I've been a bit busy lately. I think I'll do it on lucid dreams.

 

[Shodori]

Where do i submit it to?

 

[Killface]

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

DamnYou15Characters!!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

So how is everybody progressing? There's only 5 days left, so start getting those cameras rolling!

 

[Mechmap]

Well, My cinematic only has 4 scenes so I have done the 1st scene and have started on the 2nd scene. I still need some music and possibly another death scream. I dont really know if I should use any.

Also I have buyed NWN2 expansion pack so it might go a little slower than it would usually take but I will complete it. If I don't I'll do something... Kick my foot in the wall 10 times maybe.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I won't finish it.I withdraw.


~2000 POSTS!!!!YAY!!

 

[Mechmap]

~2000 POSTS!!!!YAY!!

Gratz xD!! Damn 15 character rule.

 

[Bob27]

All the terrain for my cinematic has been done, and the start of the cinematic has been done. I should be able to finish mine before the deadline.

 

[vnakira]

Well, my favorite is something romantic or legendary, but because there are no cinematics contests recently, i will join...
--My hobby is creating map until i finish it, without sleeping, eating, working, learning..Each time will take me about 2 - 3 days///

No eating or sleeping in 3 days? omg

 

[Killface]

Looks like I won't be able to finish either....

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I might give an extension to this as it seems that my computer has died (using anothers currently) and I need to buy a new one.

 

[Kanaru]

Someone make the first Saw in 2 mins.

 

[vnakira]

Wow, it seems that the first prize is mine...he he he/
Here, mine is complete. it took me 10 hoursr..I did not sleep last night.
-For some reasons. maybe i must go home for the New Year Party, so that i hope you will be not annoyed with my absent the following days.

 

[Jaakko]

Don't be so sure yet because I will finish my cinematic by 30th. *downloads map*
EDIT:vnakira there might be something that could need fixing
1)The music wasn't scary.
2)The cinematic took like four minutes.

 

[N30]

Can you put interactions in it? like dialog box's?

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

What would it help with?

 

[N30]

So you can have diffrent endings and stuff like that

 

[vnakira]

The map itself is not horrible enough,but i do not dare import any new sound file, especially music, cause they r too big...And thx for your suggestion, N30, but is it really necessary///
..Good luck, My pandaren...I hope you can finish ur map soon so that i am not the only one who take part in the game...^^

 

[N30]

lol i was just thinking, it could be like you choose what units attack and stuff, just so its more intreasting. but yeah lol its pretty pointless. just a thought, im not sure if i will, if whoever made the contest says i can do that i will prop go in it.

In a cinematic the size doesn't matter at all.Import everything you want.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

If you do implement any sort of choices each choice time will be included in total time, so it isn't advised. Meaning if you have 2 choices that each take 1:30 then total time would be 3:00.

 

[Mechmap]

vnakira, that cinematic was like a prologue to an adventure cinematic or something. The music didn't fit at all. I wasn't the tinest bit of scary. Though I don't think mine will be that much better untill i figure out how to make an area dark.

Anyone knows how to make an area nearly black?

 

[Jaakko]

Anyone knows how to make an area nearly black?

Yea set time to 00:00 and terrain fog to something like start 0, end 1000 and colour black.
EDIT: Do I get a penalty for 2:09 or is it the same as for 2:10? How big is the penalty for this?

 

[Restor]

well, I will make some cin, (yes yes, i have two days) I just made a fine plot ...

 

[MadseN]

I'm sorry, I have to withdraw from the competition I'm called in for military service for a couple of weeks. Good luck to everybody else!

/MadseN

 

[frostwhisper]

Shit! Why didn't I see this before....
I'll try to wip something up, but dang, so little time left.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

If much needed the contest could receive a 5 day extension, that all depends on how many entries will be in the next 2 days and how big a demand there is for it.

Yea set time to 00:00 and terrain fog to something like start 0, end 1000 and colour black.
EDIT: Do I get a penalty for 2:09 or is it the same as for 2:10? How big is the penalty for this?

2:09 would cause same penalty as 2:10. 2:11 would be another penalty.

 

[Bob27]

Entry

Ok heres my entry. Not 100% happy with it, but won't have any more time to work on it unless theres an extension. It goes for 1 minute and 53 seconds.

[Jaakko]

2:09 would cause same penalty as 2:10. 2:11 would be another penalty.

So how big is the penalty for 2:10?
EDIT: I don't need to know because I can make it to 2:00 after all.

Bob27's cinematic is the best I have seen so far. It has a good athmosphere and fitting music but the story isn't anything special.

EDIT2: Oh yes my cinematic is ready, well almost. I will add a preview screen, credits and remove one second. And I'm still waiting for the last sounds from few people. The day I get the sounds I will submit my entry. I would want to submit my entry today but I have no idea when I will get those last voices.

 

[Martin Barbov]

Extend please. My entry is only half ready.

 

[Mechmap]

My cinematic is done and now I just need to polish it so it looks better. And I still haven't found a good background music that works. Also my cinematic is 1.58 seconds according to my watch so if I find music I will put them in credits to not go over the maximum length.

 

[Evil_Redneck]

Just now saw this and its 2 days until it has to be turned in. I may be able to finish by then, so go ahead and sign me up.

Good luck. Btw my cinematic is almost finished.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

Jakkoo's will be the first i will play.

Call of Blizzard is the best cinematic I have ever seen.

 

[Jaakko]

Wow what a compliment.

I have a strange problem with my cinematic. I have played it multiple times and sometimes I get 2:00 and sometimes 2:01 or 2:02. Does this count as a penalty? The wait functions I think they are not 100% accurate and are causing this. I am ready to submit my cinematic as soon as this is sorted out.

 

[Jaakko]

My entry

Please tell me if something is against the rules. I removed one second so it should be now 2:00 long but sometimes it might show 2:01.

 

[Shodori]

how do i attach things anyway? im done with mine

I've tried to upload my map 4 times but it still wouldn't appear or re direct the browser OR tell me that is has been submitted... can someone please tell me why? BTW im using a library comp and the map is on my usb

nvm it FINALLY worked after i *removed* the firewall

heres mine: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/maps/6243/

 

[Bob27]

Shodori, please don't post four posts in a row, learn to use the edit button please.

And yea I decided since it was only 2 minutes to focus on the actual cinematic rather then the story, since there wasn't really much you could do with a story in 2 minutes.

Downloading the cinematics now, i'll post again when I have watched them.
