FA Video Project

I live for music...& I agree with Natuan on the music idea...

Dialog = little or no lyrics
Little or No Dialog = lyrics

But to expand on that, I can probably edit some songs if needed, to what extent it will be needed is the question.  I also think that song selection should depend greatly on what it is we've got going on in the video.  We could even use different pieces throughout the video.  That's where editing &/or transitions would be helpful.

I also want to submit my application for Actor...

Here is my take on this...

What is the purpose?
     I think it should be more as a promotional thing that catches the eye and gets everyone interested.  Challenge stuff can always be added later

What is the plot?
     Well the theme of the questionaire that I answered for the challenge had a main theme running through it.  It is a theme I see in the F.A.   The theme being where as before we had Neo to protect us all, now we have only ourselves.  Now we must gather our forces against those who were once thought unstoppable, because time is short

How will we convey meaning without dialogue? Or should we attempt dialogue?
     The best way is to have no dialogue and let the imagery we use do the speaking.  Maybe a small voice over, or screen text

What music should be used? T
     Definatley the F.A. song

Who is interested in acting in it?
     Like who isn't going to be

I have a few ideas... One of them being a shot of Tbone fighting an agent alone and then pan up into the sky and hyperjumping in are dozens of F.A.  

I've got more idea but I'm sure we all do

There are alot of things you have to take into account though, and actors have to go through ingame engine actor training school  It's tedious - and you cannot go "Oh oh - I Have idea, what if.." every three seconds.  I dont think there should be dialogue, because I'm not sure that it would fit all that well.  I think the idea is to either make it some sort of promo, or a part of the opening site to make people pumped for the FA.  I think Tbone doing his Morphiuesesque voice over during a silent like movie would be the best way to go if we needed dialogue.

Lithium's domain is temporarily offline. If it doesn't go back up soon, I'll host it here. I'll check back in a bit.

OM F'n G!!!  That was one of the tightest things I've ever seen.  For what was available, and it being done in game, it was really badass.  Some of the shots you were able to get were simply amazing considering you don't have complete control over an actual camera.  Props to everyone who made it work.  If there's any way that I can be in it, let me know.

I have to jack my brightness up really high to see it properly...

Very good, but and I understand the meaning of the church, but it kind of makes you think why it didn't just launch into the chase. Also, it would be particularly awesome if you could get some bullet time stuff in there

[Anonymous]

That was freakin' tight, man.  You have GOT to let me be involved.  If necessary, I'll resort to endless begging...

[Anonymous]

I think at some point we should show a group shot at the end or something

Wow...I'm speechless.  Beautiful editing!  From a promotional/recruiting standpoint it is flawless.  There is certain Matrix element to the film, theres a plot, and God, its just BAD ASS!  I would've never thought something like this could be done in this game, and am still dumbfounded on how some of those shots were taken.

If ya'll work on it some more, I'd like to add a suggestion or two...
1. Like someone said before...Bullet time would be awesome-  Perhaps a triple front kick would be appropriate,  machinegun kick (cuz its awesome) or bullet trails.  Of course, the bullet dodging effect in interlock would be the ultimate.
2. Shot-  Would it be possible to have all three of you hj at the same time(camera and 2 fighters)  and get an 'Air HJ' shot?

Regardless, you could be finished with it right now...thats just how good it is.  I never cease to be amazed at the ingenuity of this faction.  MxO should be paying us.
