[Cinematic] Youtube Map Series

[Chaosy]

The cinematics s in the series will be based of a youtube video which I will use the audio from and then remake it in Warcraft III.
So far, the theme has been black. With that I mean that the terrain has (almost) been entirely black which was a choice I made for dramatic effect at first but it also saved many from seeing my terraining.
Yet, in my current project I am actually doing some terraining unlike my already completed works in the series.
I am trying to find a mix, leaving feedback regarding the style is appreciated.

Due the low time required to create one together with the positive reaction so far, I came to the decision that it's something I might do for a longer period of time.
It's my evil plan to spam the map section


Completed Projects

Lore According to Illidan	Farewell Arthas my Brother

Current Project
The Druid: Dog and a Bear

All textures in game will be converted to either entirely black or grey scale.
In addition I will apply a cartoon filter to the units' textures.
All unit animations will be removed completely, animation will be done by displaying units in sequence.

All this to resemble ink in a art book to enhance the storytelling aspect.
And somewhat dark end of the story.

Progress
Roughly 252/830 seconds complete.
Terrain is fully completed aside from minor adjustments which will likely be made.
Only triggering the rest of the cinematic remains.

4 rep to the one who guess the name of the project.

This post might serve as an archive for old project layouts in the future.

Hmm. Grey scale, huh? Interesting indeed.

 

[Chaosy]

Not guessing because I don't care about rep. d:

I am not rich enough to give away dollars.
So not much else I can give.

I guess I could give you a hateful comment about your map series, how does that sound?
Thanks though x)

@Sclammerz
Yup. The only map I've seen with it is Tickles' Lizard Gaiden.

edit:
I've done about a third of the cinematic at this point, though the other two third will be quicker to create because it's mainly talk and not too much action.
Still, do you guys care about subtitles? If I am gonna add it I'm going to do with a video editing program because it's 10x easier and more accurate.

Here's some slight progress.
This scene is not supposed to be in grey scale, no need to point that out.

Hidden

Feedback is always welcome since I am not quite a good terrainer.

Lemme guess again, The Druid series? Kinda remembering a scene similar to that.

Good luck to this project btw

 

[Chaosy]

Correct.

And thanks.

 

[Forsaken]

Nice, gonna follow this! The terrain is pretty fine for me ^^
Good luck!

 

[Chaosy]

Thanks, I found some minor ways to improve it but I think the terrain is more or less finished now.

If I work for an hour or two I can probably finish the current project but I'll slack for a while since SF will be mad for me flooding the map section

 

[Chen]

Correct.

Yus. I hope Nixxiom notices and features this on his channel himself I'm gonna go spam his channel.

Updated the thread.

I removed the projects from the map section due some nazi issues but they are still available through youtube in the main post.

I love the cinematic.

Why do you include the loading screen? It feel awkward especially you use the LS with players. How about start it immediately?

Well I love the concept of black backgrounds but on the video FAREWELL ARTHAS based on how they interact I feel they dont fit since you use structures like Barns.

In Lore according to Illidan you use only Units which fits the black background.

Overall good job. I prefer more units focused cinematic since it is new to the eyes.
