Cinematic Partner

[Chaosy]

TLDR

I have been considering to make a new cinematic in my 'Timewalking' series.
​

What is 'Timewalking'

It is a term I lent (stole) from a WoW game mode where you play outdated content which is scaled up to be relevant.
In this case, it means retelling an existing story from start to finish. The intent being to summarize a character's multiple arcs to tell a whole story.
Example: Timewalking: Arthas
​

Current Idea

Currently, I have my eyes set on Jaina, she has a lot of character development after Warcraft 3 which might not be readily available for non WoW players.
​

Progress

I have not done much outside of planning a rough draft of the flow/story bits
​

What am I looking for?

Firstly, I am only looking for a single person to work with, anything beyond that is too complicated to be worth the effort of coordinating.
However, for the position itself I am somewhat open. I am willing to either terrain or code, so the other spot is up for grabs.
I expect the story/choice of scenes will be brainstormed together.
​

So yeah, throw me a PM if you're interested.

I'm surprised noone has answered yet, because it sounds like a fun project.

I'd work with you, if not the fact that I'm currently working on my campaign.


I just wanted to ask, how exactly would this cinematic look like? (How long would it be? Would Jaina be the narrator?)

 

[Chaosy]

I got no limit on length as long as it makes sense really. And I usually go for a dream-sequence like approach where there is no narrator though the scenes are centered around Jaina.

hi, I just watched the Arthas story cinematic....

the main idea was quite original, nice use of campaing voice over. I personally would improve camera movement a little bit and maybe make the scenes not necessarily in the chronologic order. The retrospective would help imho. But overally I really enjoyed it.

 

[Chaosy]

I agree. Got less creative and didn't mix it up ;P

 

[Restor]

Well, it past I was mostly into cinematics, but it always failed on my laziness to do terrain. That and that I am not very good with making terrain (nature like forest, waterfall is maybe ok, but the real struggle were cities, fortresses and so on), but triggering was my thing... I was always searching for someone who would make terrain for my cin and then I would do the rest (cameras, triggers, dialogues etc.)

Are you still planning to do this?
