IIRC, it was for I-13 and I-14. No mention was made of I-15.

Three hundred and seventy-two.
That or catch Positron in an incriminating position. Like cheating with his DM dice.

For 372 more videos, I expect sainthood.

So, I guess you are going back to stalking Positron? I've heard that there are a couple of fashion reporters on the Scoop that would love it if you can catch any photos of Jay while you are at that...

[/ QUOTE ]
Great, like Positron doesn't already have enough reasons to hate me...

And by the way, rednames, where's YOUR trailer for Issue 14?! Come on, how am I supposed to know what my benchmark is?

Some places you can upload them include:

YouTube.com
WeGame.com

You'll need to create an account with them if you want to upload.

Wait. I-14 Trailer? Whatever happened to the Videographer's Task Force we filmed after wrapping up the Matrix Machinima Contest? When do we get to enjoy that little jewel?

God, I forgot all about that!!!

The devs won't tell anyone their criteria. It's pretty much "pray". The only folks who are guaranteed to get in (although not exactly in the first wave) are the folks who went to HeroCon. I'm guessing we'll be the last batch of closed beta invites.

Dark_Respite's Issue 14 Teaser is the only reason I am looking forward to the issue at all! It made me Want it NOW!

[/ QUOTE ]

Seriously? I've been chomping at the bit for the issue ever since I heard they were creating the Mission Architect.

But it seems a few folks agree with you, and my video is the only reason they're stoked for I-14, which is kinda sad. I want them to be stoked for I-14 coz the MA will (hopefully) rock, not just coz my video was neat.

I'm just wishing I could get my invite before Monday morning - I'm off for President's Day and would LOVE to spend the day running around in the closed beta and going, "I wanna film that, and that, and that, and how the HELL am I going to convey THAT?!"

Don't let a perceived difference in talent stop you from making stuff anyway. When I first created my videos, this was after seeing stuff from other people that I thought "Oh God, I'll never manage anything like that". And look at me now. So TRY!

Thanks very much for posting links to my stuff, I appreciate it! (Just one request - if you're linking folks to the high rez version, please link them to my website page, and not to the actual file itself.) YouTube links are always cool.

And stay tuned - once I actually get into the closed beta (if I get in because of attending HeroCon), I get to start on the I-14 trailer...

I don't know what there is to discuss, that hasn't been discussed to death, since we don't have any new information yet. So let me throw out two questions. First, when will we get the teaser up on the main website laying out more or less how it works, what features are and aren't included in it? And secondly, do better story-arc writing tools mean that we'll be getting more official content or more frequent issues from now on?

[/ QUOTE ]

The funny thing is, infamous, I was certain that the NCNC gang would put out THEIR video before I got MINE done. But my teaser beat theirs, apparently. I wonder who they're commissioning this time to make theirs - hopefully it'll be cool.

At any rate, gratz to those who get into closed beta... I don't want to know anything specific, I just want to know if I can make a cool trailer for it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, you can.
I know that without being in beta, yes.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Memphis.

Still no beta invite yet for me. But that's okay, I gotta figure out what music I want to use for the I-14 trailer.

That me making a teaser would make them hurry? Yeah. I'm not THAT important.

DR, I think at the very least, NCNC should buy your vids from you and pay you in return with free-months!

Oh... and wonderful work on all your vids!

Don't I wish... But thank you very much for the compliments!

I do not want Positron's chair. Nor do I want his job. A job, a paycheck, and a chair NEAR his, I would be quite happy with.

{Zloth crawls out from his X3: Terran Conflict sabbatical}

Superb job, yet again!

I've got a few ideas for arcs but I'm trying to keep them at arms length. I don't know what the system will really be like when the dust settles so I'm trying not to get attached to any idea.

Oh, and thanks to EnergyOne for getting it on WeGame. I wouldn't have seen it, otherwise!

And hooray! Sister Flame has triumphed over her shyness and has agreed to make a cameo in my Issue 14 trailer. Mwahahahaha. (BTW, _Wyll_, she will be in good company - that trailer will also be featuring the four winners of the Mr/Ms Paragon City/Rogue Isles contest.)

Thank God story arcs will be cross-server, Freedom is packed enough as it is. Add the Sister Flame arcs and that sucker is gonna be RED.

Michelle

Timothy Zahn. THERE is the Star Wars writer to emulate. If Sister Flame's arcs hit that benchmark, I am gonna be in those arcs like white on rice.

Thanks alot Samuraiko, as if i wasnt tearing my eyes out enough already waiting for this issue, then you had to go make an awsome video for it
Thanks, just thanks....

I suppose it would just be rubbing salt in the wound to point out that I've also already got eighteen separate story arcs in mind for the MA?

This is SO gonna be "my" issue.

I'm hoping mine prove to be popular enough to make Devs' Choice so I can get the slots back.

As for how I made the blueprint environment... it involves the inspired use of four judiciously demorecorded/demoedited maps, Leandro's Splasher program, getting the "Issue 14: Architect" logo off the CoH site, the right RGB colour code, two very specific Sony Vegas Movie Studio filters, and a metric a**load of patience, trial, and error to get it right.

All for a five-second shot. Am I insane or what?

Michelle
aka
Samuraiko/Dark_Respite

[/ QUOTE ]

Not at all. The 5 second shot payoff is the sort of thing that carries a sequence. And fantastically done. I absolutely loved it.

I hope you're not only applying to CoH. Even if they are so foolish as to let someone else get you, that sort of "I've got an idea and I'll do what I can to make it superb" drive combined with real skills and a great sense of pacing, you should be working in video production.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually... yes, I am only applying to NCNC. As much as I love making videos, what really does it for me is the game. (Although I have done video work elsewhere in limited form.)
