Well, in one respect, you guys may be getting what you wish. (No, I'm not being hired.)
But once my music licensing request clears proper channels... well...

But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory."

Using Adobe Premiere, I gather? Good program. (I'll be picking up a copy of that myself sometime over the next month - that way I'll have that AND Sony Vegas Movie Studio.)
Advice? No, people on YouTube do NOT want to see the UI. Even on a high-quality video, the UI clutters things up, unless you are deliberately trying to show names or numbers or chat. Otherwise, leave it off.
Good luck with the vid!

I will definitely take a gander at these. Something tells me making a choice is going to be damn difficult...

Ghost Falcon, if by some bizarre chance, my name is in the pool for Wave 4, please give my slot to Leandro (if he's not already in the closed beta). I know when I-14 rolled around, he somehow got missed, and God knows if anyone should be in the beta, it's him.
I'm just a video hack. Leandro's a beta tester.

After looking at her signature links, I'm guessing some Statesman / Widow / a Little Puppy slash romance!!!
Oh, please, I have STANDARDS!
*pause*
Admittedly, they're fairly low, if TCoSR is about Positron of all people, but I still have standards!
Got it. I'll need shots of more than just the energy room, that doesn't give me much of an idea about the rest of the base.Quote:Originally Posted by Turbo_Starr

I checked. From the east coast (Canada), it would cost me $1500 for the plane ticket alone... Can't do it.
Just a thought.

D_R, the person who sullied your rep is doubly ignorant. First for using that awful line and second for getting it backward. It's the cow you don't buy if you're getting the milk for free.
And up to four public "thanks" and hugs...
And hooray, I'm now registered for HeroCon '09, got my hotel room booked, I am a happy camper. No idea if I'm presenting at the 'con or not, but either way, I will be there! (If it turns out I'm not, and folks still want me to run a Q&A on movie making, I can try and swipe an empty conference room, otherwise we'll take over the bar and I'll hold it there.)

If they really wanted to be cruel, they could "hint" that there's a hole in one of the city zone maps that will actually take them to Praetoria. You'd have players SWARMING all over the game trying to find it.

Quote:Oh, trust me, I remember the hoops I had to jump through when Sparkplay commissioned me to make a teaser for EARTH ETERNAL - do this, do this, don't do that, use this, feature that... and doing it all via email was a major PITA. Even so, I had a surprising amount of freedom.Originally Posted by UnSub
I'd suspect one of the major conditions would be getting it signed off by everyone. Any materials created have to go through an extensive vetting process (does it fit with the lore? does that animation still even appear in the issue about to be released? are the devs, marketing team and management all happy with it, or do they think camera is a little too close to the power effect at the end and oops, that costume piece just clipped through at that other point and could you please fix that before release?).
There's probably not a lot of other restrictions - font, appearance and focus on the key issue features - but I'm sure signing it off and booking it into the marketing schedule is a major hold-up.
Ultimately though, I think that Dark Respite's talent is wasted by only doing issue-related content. What would be much more effective use of her ability would be doing some CoH/V short films and possibly even a much longer movie. But for that, she definitely needs to be paid and NCsoft isn't going to hire her just to churn out CoH/V movies.
As for making short films or whatnot, I'd love to do it. I know quite a few people enjoyed the "Incarnate" and "History in the Making" videos, and have asked me to do more like those to show in-game history.
Then again, what do I know? According to the comments left with my rep, I'm "a straight up arrogant attention *****" that Paragon Studios will never hire because "why buy the milk when you get the cow for free"?

Dark_Respite and Bloodspeaker will both be there! Tickets have been purchased, room has been reserved! (No word yet if I'm presenting again, but I will be there one way or another!)

Things about the devs I have learned thanks to their Tweets:
Positron has a son. (Colour me ignorant...)
War Witch tortures herself by doing Pilates (and likes 'funky' pizza).
Dark Watcher has jury duty (and was reduced to helpless laughter by Hero 1).
Horatio is apparently kicking people's butts at Dominion during lunch hour.
Niviene reduces PS employees' efficiency by making them laugh.
