FAQ Suggestions

[Craka_J]

Here are some more questions you can add to the first post:

• What is the file-size of the cinematic?
• How long is the duration of the cinematic?
• Who deserves credibility for this cinematic?
• Will you add a sequel/prologue after this is finished?
• Where will the cinematic be available for download once it is finished and released?
• When will Arlien's Tale be ready for beta testing (If you plan to have any beta testers)
• Why do you think it will take about three or four months for this cinematic to be completed? Do you plan to make it long and full of quality? Please don't rush!

That's all of the questions I can think of for now... you can add these questions to the first post and delete this one if you'd like, to make it seem more cleaned and professional.

Thanks for the ideas, i'll add them now

And while I do not plan to make the chapters too long, otherwise people will get bored to bored, but I do plan to make it full of quality, and I will not release unless I am happy that it is the best quality I can make.

That's what I like to hear!

Will the cinematics be voiced or text-only? And will you use copyrighted music or open-source only?

 

[Craka_J]

If you can't find any good voice actors, do what I do with my cinematics nowa days: Use Warcraft III's voices! I use the ones from units, campaign dialogues, etc. Works out pretty well, but sometimes the storyline can get a bit hazey when it comes down to this.

FAQ Surgestions

Ok I have split this into to different threads, to keep the FAQ clean and have a thread for suggestions.

Will the cinematics be voiced or text-only? And will you use copyrighted music or open-source only?

The cinematic will be voiced, and as for the music, I will use a bit of both probably, copyrighted and open-soruce.

If you can't find any good voice actors, do what I do with my cinematics nowa days: Use Warcraft III's voices! I use the ones from units, campaign dialogues, etc. Works out pretty well, but sometimes the storyline can get a bit hazey when it comes down to this.

I defiantly will not be using warcraft 3 voices for the main characters, it would be to hard to make it all fit together. Maybe for a couple of lines though, for unimportant characters who just one thing, I may find some warcraft III characters dialouge to use.

Hive has 2-3 good voice actors which should basicly be enough. You just need to get in contact with them. Horror.Man is excellent, also Scyth-Master is a very good voice actor and SuPa- knows some tricks of the trade aswell.

Q: Will you finish this one ?

Thanks raging, i'll be sure to contact those people when I need voice actors.

Q: Will you finish this one ?

Well I have been working on this for a couple of months, and I haven't gotten bored of it yet, so thats a good sign

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Better now than later, people come and go and I haven't seen much of Horror.Man lately, sadly. So best to get him on your MSN or something before it might be too late.

If this was a comical cinematic, I'd be the perfect voice actor! Even for narration.
~Craka_J

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Will the narration be done by you or will you get a "profesional" voice actor?

If the last, will it be a female or male narrator?

I might try doing narration myself, i'll have to get my microphone to work first though. And if I did get someone else to do it, it would probably be a male narrator, mostly because of the fact I don't actually know any female voice actors

Ok i'll add that to the FAQ when I get a chance.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

There are whole websites/forums for voice actors where I am sure there would probably be someone that would be willing to voice act for free for such a project if they were to like it.

I would advise against narrating yourself as you are still young and a narrator usually have a very deep and calm voice.

Yea, but theres no harm in seeing if I would actually sound any good as a voice actor

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Try to watch your old cinematic you made for the Wc3c cinematic competition again and remember your horrid voice acting

 

[Bob27]

Nope, that wasn't me voice acting. That was operators, and someone else did some but I forgot who.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

It was? I thought you said it was you. Anywho it was terrible, worst voice acting I have ever heard.

Yea I would of liked to have better voice acting, but I didn't have very much time to get voice acting organized, because of the deadline, and I thought that bad voice acting was better then no voice acting.
