What videos would you like to see?

héhé^^. you are in my friend list too.

for video making i use adobe after effect, or digital fusion for compositing and Avid liquid for video editing (don't sure editing is a good word ;p)
For 3D part, i use maya and toshop

 

Ah the dragon age trailer.. I like it!! If this could be done with Arkadia then I think there will be alot of people who will come just to see what it is all about!!

Bioware!! Love it.. made right here in my own back yard.. well in Edmonton Alberta

 

Great stuff Ifuri. Hope to see some video contributions from you when we launch.

Howdy Nor, we're certainly aiming towards that.

 

If it is gonna be what you say I'll buy it! ...oh, wait, it's free

love - hate - love - hate more likely at least in my case. if they have one thing down, it's making you buy a game, love playing it and then complain about it afterwards, cause the small things you dont even find anywhere else arent just right

 

That Dragon Game trailer is awesome! Forget the game, I want to see that as a full length film please! 8D

Hmm having a think.... of something for Arkadia. Since we've mainly seen a lot of emphasis on the story/scenario so far I feel a sort of teaser trailer style might work well, somehow re-delivering key parts of the story. There could be a set of these staggered released in the final run up to the game launch.

For example for the first one, something along the lines of Captions (fade switching in and out to shots of things going on, characters etc) regarding the discovery of the signal from Arkadia with Milton lee's audio decryption gradually fading in (or changing from a sort of mashed up static into actual words) and getting Louder, ending dramatically on the bit about the Oranton (correct name?, sorry I'm behind -will catch up soon though). Maybe a second of silence (maybe small background static sound quietly) then some sorta punchy loud ending, a shot of the planet with a the debris or maybe a sort of bam bam bam zoom in from distant star to near orbit and then website address on audio fade out...

Well its a thought anyhow. In some ways though I guess I just really liked that bit of the story. I think a teaser that doesn't show too much is quite good. I like the idea of selling the mystery/excitement of this signal from another planet concept. I think a lot of people want to live that dream.

Actually, quite possibly some vague feeling like this trailer Only punchier...

Another idea might be to have a voice over of the chap in charge doing a sort of intro in a tired worldweiry soldier sort of way. Um... actually a bit like Jake Sully at the start of this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRdxXPV9GNQ

OK thats my ideas anyhow

PS Incidentally (unrelated but just cause I love it), my favourite Calypso trailer is this one

fair to say it's one of the best trailers I've seen so far so try to get some inspiration from that too.
Also don't forget to get the proper soundtrack for the BANG trailer.

 

Yes, but not as weapon videos, but real ingame video of some people shooting Arkadia mobs.

 

hehe seems i have a really short attention span today

 

How about some video clips of ingame architecture, such as buildings in cities/forts/outposts, apartment and housing estates, and other elements of of an established settlement?

 

Ok been following this thread and I love the video's so far. One thing I would like to see is something nobody has mentioned yet and that would be a sneak peak of the planet. And by that I do not mean one of those nice from space rendered images, but a peak at the actual map we are going to play on. Wrap it around a planet if you like to make it look nice in a movie, but it would be cool if we could get a glimps of the real map.

 

I would like to see a animated version of the full story because I'm to lazy to read the big walls of text =S
Even making it into a manga style storyboard would make it far more enjoyable for me

 

When I see CGI trailers for video games there is one thing that comes to the front of my mind..... So, what does it REALLY look like?

I hate when the teaser is beautiful and amazing, but then the game is nothing like it. It's like false advertising.

I understand why some games would do that, their product looks like crap. But, with the graphics of EU there is no reason to hide the beauty.

(And... Misao... I keep telling you... Just read the story, it's worth it!)

 

What about "ingame" clips? We have flying vehicles already, so isn't it possible to get some flyover clips from some already existing areas? Maybe a city or something like this. To get an impression of what is coming...

 

Heya Wistrel, nice video there. Music is good,simple technique but highly effective. The zooming across the various landscapes shows the diversity of the planet. Thanks for sharing.

I also like this video on your YouTube channel very very much(think I've mentioned it before). I honestly would want to do something like this for Planet Arkadia some time.

Woah..thats quite a list there you've got Larkin, I'll digest it and see whether I can fulfil some of your wishes.

I'm hoping to get something like this out before launch Razer.

I get your point Calin. Hehe. I've got my share of instances on these scenarios. But IMHO, these CGI trailers does attract lots of players to try the game. We're looking at different ways of getting things done with the resources we have. We'll see how it goes.

If an in-game trailer is shown, I'd include top-down views of the planet. Thanks Fox.

 

I think Larkin pretty much summed it up here. Just randomly going through this list would probably satisfy the majority of people here. LoL, Perhaps even add under the Interviews a slide show of the developers and project / community leaders so that we have a face for the names and people who are developing the project and what they developing.
