EDIT: I'm moving this out to the open forum community since I haven't seen the kind of response I'd like from the testers.

 

Title makes this pretty clear. The kind of trailer that shows off shit we have that SoaSE:R does not. Visual frames described in text follows:

 

All of these should be shot with elements seen at their highest textured settings (ship/planet/structure, obviously anything not in the frame can be turned all the way down if needed), 1920x1080 resolution, at least 30 frames per second, 16x AA...basically max settings

  • A shot of a Halo ring rotating from an angle with good lighting that allows you to see both the outside of the ring and the inside
  • A shot of a UNSC fleet that is diverse, the camera is locked to the fleet, preferably passing by one of VD's pretty planets, team color red or light blue
  • Same shot of a diverse Covenant fleet with purple team coloring
  • A shot of a Forerunner portal that doesn't have any faction structures placed inside it, ship travel during the shot is okay as long as no UI bits show up like movement lines or whatever
  • Shot of a shield world, possibly of the big sentinel with the shield world in the background
  • Shots of strikecraft from both factions, camera locked to them in a chase like setting
  • A large battle between the two factions that isn't too far away from the action but not right on top either. Doesn't need to be massive, mind you, just large enough to be visually impressive, preferably the beginning of the shot is the start of the battle itself
  • Possibly a shot of the colonize effect showing the pelicans launch to a planet's surface.
  • Maybe a UNSC starbase with some trade ship and other ship travel around it.

I'm thinking these shots would be relatively short, so the overall thing is only a couple of minutes at most, so shots no more than 10 seconds or so, so there is room to edit them, might cut them all down to 7 seconds as a reference to Bungie. Any other ideas as to what should be included? Am I forgetting something mind blowing from our little Halo mod people should see?

 

Title would be something like "This is Sins of the Prophets" kind of like those "This is X" montages.

 

If you want to help with these please have the raw file available for me to download, also a private listing on youtube linked so I can quickly review would be nice, but not necessary. Cannot be in Mac formats. MP4/AVI preferred but I'll work with other formats.

What about adding some lines in between the shots, white on a black background (or with different colours) like:

Shot - "Choose your faction"

Shot - "Build your empire"

Shot - "Discover ancient artifacts"

Shot - "Fight for Supremacy/Survival"

 

 

Or something like that. I think it might add something to the video.

 

And for the music? SotP soundtrack in the background should be a must.

What kind of voice should be there? Ooooooh I've got an idea, maybe that new voice actor Sancho picked up from reddit!

I think you should add in audio from the games. Nothing prominent but just tidbits like "Your world will burn." or something.

I definitely think a CAS (either on its own or an aesthetically pleasing amount of CASs positioned correctly in a fleet) needs to be burning a planet.

That brings me to another point, can we change the GLASSING noise? Plenty of stuff we can pull from the games.

Once the Video has been put together Waseem and I can bust out some sound. Also I've got a lot more free time so expect some new SFX and vocal stuff soon!

Now that I think about it, should we change the siege method? Still annoys me that SDVs glass planets. Maybe we should give them phantoms instead? It'd be slightly more legit.

Yay. Will glassing still be implemented somehow or is that out? Maybe a CAS/CCS ability?

Well speaking in Terms of Marketing. Most companies use their developers to discuss recent changes and Features.

Also most Indie Projects are doing this.

The reason of this is that the costumer (the mod Players in our terms) see the faces behind this Project and feel more symphatic towards it.

Developers are just humans after all behind their names on a Team list.

I can see it being an ability on the CAS that makes the planet more susceptible to bombardment, or a boring direct damage ability, named "Glass Enemy Military Bases" with a name of that sort.

Awesome! Don't let this deter anyone else from trying to get some of these shots. You never know when you'll get the money shot!

Maybe there could also be a shot show casing the different player portraits? So people see there is diversity in the portraits and not just 2 or 3 to choose from.

I'm working on a few other video editing projects currently, but I might be able to try something in a month, depending on how fast I finish the other projects.
