armagetron ad promotion video: you are all going to be inclu

[gawdzilla]

Okay, some things I like and don't like...

Like:
the way you use the music as a pace for the video, good job on that

Dislikes:
I can see your mouse on the screen, move it out of the way when recording
remove the HUD, this can be done in 0.3x
its too far away, can barely see whats going on


being honest so you can improve

[Phytotron]

remove the HUD, this can be done in 0.3x

Also true for every previous version since there's been a HUD.

[gawdzilla]

The day's approaching to give it your best,
and you've got to reach your prime
That's when you need to put yourself to the test,
and show us a passage of time
We're gonna need a montage! (MONTAGE !)
A sports training montage! (MONTAGE !)
Show a lot of things happening at once,
remind everyone of what's going on! (WHAT'S GOING ON!)
And with every shot show a little improvement,
to show it all would take too long!
That's called a montage! (MONTAGE !)
Even Rocky had a montage! (MONTAGE !)
In any sport if you want to go,
from just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage! (MONTAGE !)
A simple little montage! (MONTAGE !)
Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out it seems like more time has a passed in a montage!

ya liz...i just recently thought of turning off hud. i'll do that for future recordings.

guys, getting footage of a lot of the best players will take longer than thought...so if you guys could help me out...spread the word to players like punish, xyron, etc...and ask them if they could get a recording of themselves...and then email the clips to my at ipwnu4free@yahoo.com

that might speed things up

the faster i get players footage...the faster i can put up another teaser! ;D

Maybe later, once you're done with the fortress and sumo et al video, you could do a video for the standard/classic/normal/core/traditional/whateveryouwanncallit game (and I don't mean "DF/loose"). I figure that should be equally as represented as a matter of promotion, as you're putting it.

If and at such a time, recording Shrunkland some night when most of the contemporary "regs" are in there would be cool. People like myself, dlh/free kill, nara, Misery, uh...I know I'll inadvertently leave some folks out (so don't feel slighted)...plus, if we could also get akira and boobert in there it'd be right proper. Also, sinewav, if and when he gets on his feet and/or can play some evening. That's part of why I say later. No rush.

Could do the same in Bebop in Harlem. And maybe goshdarn will be up by then. I suppose there's Mud Puddle as well, for that element. Yadda yadda.

like i said....the faster i get footage of players the faster i can make the videos....

i need your help to get high quality (playing) clips emailed to me so i can fit them in this video....this video is ten minutes long...i need more footage!!!!!

and i need ur help....if u want it badly enough, get someone to record ur game...and email it to me...i will get in i promise

[paperclip]

i mean...i did say i would do all the recording...but that will take a lot more time...ur support will speed things up. it's worth it....im spending a lot of time editing

[paperclip]

today is a very good day. this morning a got a lot of good shots at empha team sumo...and fort! thank you for the support everyone!!!

[Phytotron]

Sorry, I was thinking that you might make a separate video. One that you're working on now with all the fortress, sumo, other "special game modes," and then a second one (possibly shorter) of just regular servers (you know, the type that preceded all this other stuff). This, especially considering you already seem to have an outline for what you want in the video.

[paperclip]

hey...i understand what ur getting at...and i know it's not really fair that i'm getting all this extra attention to sumo and fort...but the only reason why i made a sumo and fort video is because thats what i play. if i made an original tron video....i would have no idea what to look for...i don't know any "tricks of the trade" outside of fort and sumo....i wouldn't make that good of a video.....
if you give me some footage i will use it....but making another ten minute video after this will be alottt of work....i already spent 20 hors editing this one, and im not even half way through
