[Cinematic] Zul'Jin's Adventure

[Bu113t]

Well, here is my cinematic that I have worked on, it's a bit short I know but I hope you can give me feedback and comments!

 

[redscores]

Very nice, especially the thing with the orc lying on the ground, keep working on this cinematic!

 

[Restor]

nice terrain and atmosphere and effects, but that music looping again and again was abusing after a while. Also try to make movement between cameras more smooth (so, use shorter wait than apply camera time, like wait 2.9 sec, apply camera A for 3.0sec)

 

[bestoboy]

You should continue this
But I think there's something wrong with Zul' Jin's model since his hair and swords were just white like they didn't have any texture. Or is it supposed to be like that.? And the camera got kinda weird when the boulder trap went off.
Other than that, it was pretty good! I love trolls

 

[redscores]

Zul'jin had always white hair, and his swords are odd, but I know the model, it is thought like that.

But just as tip, Zul'jin uses no swords, he fights with fist weapons or with his hands.

 

[VeljkoM]

In warcraft 2 he uses axes like all other Trolls.All those lies from WoW make me sick.

 

[redscores]

No WoW lies, he actually uses fist weapons.

 

[VeljkoM]

Where?In warcraft 2 he uses axes.Where does he else make apperance?

 

[redscores]

In the Warcraft 3 Books.

 

[VeljkoM]

Wow you are precise.Is in books story how he lost his arm and eye or is that from WoW.

 

[redscores]

In the Books, he used before he lost his arm 2 fist weapons, brute and gore called, after he lost his arm he used to learn the shamanistic attributes.

And yes, it is described how he lost his arm.

 

[VeljkoM]

What is the name of the book?

 

[redscores]

Ugh O,o I dont remember the name, it was the book with the story about the amani inside...

 

[VeljkoM]

Well thank you anyway.

 

[redscores]

Thats zul'jin with one of his fist weapons, thats a wow pic, but well, it shows the truth:

[VeljkoM]

Well guy wasn't in whole warcraft 3 game so that means he was busy.But why do Amani look like Astec.They didn't look like that in Warcraft 2 and 3.

 

[leet.firefox]

Very cool, I like how you made the one guy look like he was sitting. The fight with the guardian should have been more epic. Revenant who comes through the gate should say something. How are they going to start a new tribe with three dudes??? Is the next part out yet?

 

[redscores]

Because the amani created their own city, that was the thing which was Zul'jin busy with.

And all troll kingdoms had a bit from the aztecs.

 

[VeljkoM]

I liked it more when Trolls were just simple savages.But cinematic is cool.

 

[Bu113t]

thanks for feedback (and the offtopic talk that made this thread two pages)

I will continue on this cinematic for a while I hope!

 

[bestoboy]

Please do! I like trolls and I'd like to know more about their awesome history

 

[Bu113t]

Currently I'm working on Part 2 now, but my internett dissapears in 2 weeks so I have a deadline to reach!

And I'm currently out of ideas for the cinematic, so I hope you can give me some tips.
I can come up with own ideas myself but now I got a timer on me and I cant get so many ideas under pressure! So I hope you can give me some.





And here is a screenie!

The picture looks very promising.
I watched your cinematic, as far as I know you might be a rookie, then very nice work.
What is your purpose of this cinematic only for watch?
Then I must say I believe your animations are poor.
As off you should know animations can be controlled by the triggerings.
The Camera should be moving a lil bit smoother, and maybe some music, I think cinematics with no custom voices is kinda poor if you do not at least use a lot of music for different situations which then will be compensating for the lack of voices.
Tho if you can fix both I'll say damn thats nice.
But that I do not care for to much because I would not care for custom voices if it was my cinematic.
Also, the movement of the units can be sharpend.
And better timings, when Zul'jin broke that door open he said something like GRAAW!, right? then after like 5seconds he broke it, he should do it as he says GRAAW!.

This is not beign mean towards you, it is for you to take in and sharp as beign a better cinematic artist.

Else way I found the current cinematic very amusing to watch. I like it keep on going, don't give up because you get one critisism. Be some kind of optimist instead.

And also, I wont tell you how to do those things, because the question wasn't asked, and please do not ask me, I am swampt with dooings already, if you ask in a thread, replay somebody may asnwere, maybe its me, maybe not.
Good Luck to you, looking forward to see more.

 

[Bu113t]

thanks for the feedback! I will try to improve your points in the next part, and maybe improve the first!



and another screenie!

 

[AbeHolm]

thanks for the feedback! I will try to improve your points in the next part, and maybe improve the first!

Great!!
Yea, do the first part, second w/e.
I don't care if you don't improve the first part, but if I see improvment in the second part then I know you just stepped up a noch.

And also, think when you are making a new cinematic, a whole new story and looking back at the Adveture of Zul'jin, you'll see a ladder of improvments on you own work. Now thats a logg Like taking a picture every few month when you work out to see improvments.

R´Think of the possibilities, you can become the greatest cinematic artist in the world

 

[Nuan-Total-God-Pi]

This is good lokkin!
r you still working on this!? ^^)
I will wait for action! :-D

 

[CMarket]

Well, it's pretty good. The cameras could be smoother and sometimes they don't move at all so you might want to fix that. The terrain is pretty decent but I'm not sure if it should be raining while they're inside the tomb thingy, right?

The story is, well, it was too short to tell, but I guess it looks promising.

Zul'jin was purple but his portrait was red. You might want to rework that as it looked ugly, at least to me, to see him in red colors on the portrait. The constant jumping of the trolls was a bit annoying but since it can't be controlled by triggers unless they have a stand portrait animation it's alright. Nice effect making that guy look like he's sitting.

All in all pretty good. Nothing spectacular but it shows promise.

If any one need to know Zul'jins history take a look on this page Zul'jin and this movie

Eh, this again. Are you going to release an extended version Bu113t?
