Hi folks, first thanks to Draugy for info on where i could find your forums, and big thanks to Blajjan for talking to you all about helping me put a video together.
To recap a bit, I've already been messing with some of the footage and there is plenty to choose from but as you may have heard I'd like to get some footage for an intro and ending and so far some of the ideas I've heard sound good.
Here is the concept so far-
I'm a poor cleric thats just been zerged and am looking for some help with revenge. I'll start with footage of me dead at the feet of a zerg and then will be me meeting up with you guys to beg for help. The idea of me going to your guild house and speaking with you all there sounds good to me. After you guys decide to help, then some footage of us traveling, running, horse, boat, (some or all of these) then the fights begin.
After the fights then of course me showing my gratitude and then fade out.
Some idea's ive got and some suggestions i've heard from you guys include the following;
I want to keep it day fights for best view (even though we had some great night fights)
No zerging, we never zerged, but many times people added with us
No deaths, this is easy, we rarely had someone die
One of the things that was mentioned was that some of you may not like the common practice of "speeding up" the fight footage. Thats cool, I can try one at normal speed but there are 2 problems. First is sometimes the cleric view is not that good and keeping video fast ensures any slow parts (like me behind a tree spamming heals) is short, and second is file size. We had some fights that were very long, up to 8 mins and makes for bigger file size.
But anyway, I want to make this something you guys will be proud of, so I'll select one of the shorter fights, and run it at normal speed. Actually I'll prolly do both, one version with a single normal speed fight, and another with a compiliation of several faster fight scenes, and then we see which you guys prefer.
Another thing I want to make sure you guys know is that I never intend to release this on any large website like VN boards or anything. This may become a project that only you guys and me and my personal friends ever see. I'm just proud of the fights we had and want to preserve them while I learn some new computer skills, I'm very new to video/image editing, so if there is ever a post on VN boards saying "OMG, check out this Inbreed video" it will be from one of you guys.
I'm open to any creative suggestions since I'm sure some of you have more experience with these programs than I do and I also want you all to know that I'll make all the source material available to any of you incase you want to improve upon what I'm able to do. I can either mail someone dvd's or if any of you have access to and FTP server I can forward you the info that way.
As far as setting a time to get together to make the intro footage I have in mind, well that is mainly up to when you guys have the time. This coming week I work late hours so not home until maybe 2230-2300 central european time. Next weekend I'm available whenever you guys are. So please discuss a suitable time and I'll let you guys know if I can make it. This would take between 5-20 mins to get all the shots to really complete the story.
Thanks again for your consideration, hope to see you guys again soon.
