[Video] Night Prayers

Shamelessly taken from the French Creative section.

Video editing master Aral and music genius CoffyTdB teamed once again to bring us some amazing visual goodness.

Night Prayers:
RIGHT CLICK + SAVE AS

These 2 have been at it already like a couple on fire and you might remember them with such title as :Dies Irae or
PoD.

Salut là-dedans,

Je vous ai manqué ? Nan ? Tant pis, voici quand même une nouvelle vidéo.
Comme d'habitude, tout y est 100% scripté, et rares sont les effets crées en post-production (le moteur CoH dévoile quelques richesses lorsqu'on le triture un peu).

La vidéo est disponible via le lien ci-dessous :
Clique-droit + Enregistrer sous

Comme vous pourrez le constater Coffy s'est défoncé à la musique, et moi au Jurançon doux, ce qui donne ce résultat improbable.

Voilà voilà,
Aral.

PS : ah, oui, c'est un gros download, 150Mo, vous voilà prévenus, mais le serveur au Bontakun est rapide (enfin, normalement), et ça devrait pas prendre plus que quelques minutes

Translated:

"Hey there,

Did you miss me? No? Nevermind and watch this new video!

As per usual, everything is fully scripted and you'll only find the occasional post-production effects (the COH engine reveals some nice features when fiddled with properly).

As you can see, Coffy went all out with the score and I drank myself silly, which spawns this vid as a result.

There you go,
Aral.

PS: it's a pretty hefty download: 150Mb. You have been warned, however Botakun's server is fast (normally is, at any rate) and it shouldn't be longer than a couple of minutes "

Considering the quality of this video (and the fact Aral is a friend of mine ), I can't let this movie sink into the depth of this section without bumping it at least once

Get it, it's worth the download, I swear.

I don't normally look at vids shot in game, but with the praise it's had I thought I would.

I'm very glad I did. It's really very very good. It's the best I've seen.

Impressed with, well... everything really. Download it now!

Well I'm glad someone did watch it.

I totally feel the same way as MissBlueMyst. Vids are usually bad quality fraps'd and using some random music from the creator's downloaded mp3 collection.

This one was made of win and professionalism!

That was amazingly well put together: fantasticly atmospheric, a well crafted fight scene, and such a poignant ending!

5 stars to Coffy and Aral. I really enjoyed watching that.

Couldn't have put it better myself! The vids I've seen are alright and I'm really glad people are exploring the game system finding ways to make these little pieces of art, but this is the first vid I've found that really looks slick and very carefully thought out. The scene where the Sword and Martial Art kicks combos are seemless, and the scene with the gargoyle flying from the roof top is brilliantly done.

Other vids can tend to feel clunky and disjointed, like the creator has really battled to bring it all together. But this is very fluid and effortless.

Aral should make a 2 hours long CoX movie....

Just seen the movie myself, after being directed to it by Mystie, and have to say I was very very impressed. Actually, I can't think of a better produced MMO fanvid, and I've spent many an hour watching them on YouTube.

Oh wow. That was amazing.

/me applauds!

Bravo! Excellent video!

... and die of old age and exhaustion in the process

Well, first, thanks to Swissy for posting the vid here, I would have done it myself sooner or later, but being introduced by this talented person is a reward in itself.

Then, thanks to all of you above who took the time to download the vid and leave a comment. I know it's a strange way nowadays to distribute a video (youtube is the standard) but I worked hard on the visuals (lightning, texture enhancing, sky coloring etc.) and I didn't want to downgrade the quality too much.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked this video.

If I may, if you're using DiVX to encode, try using Stage6 to host them instead. It's a DiVX owned site and video's stay at their original quality, whilst still being able to stream.

Hello,

Thanks for the comments

For those who want to have the scores used in the video :

Nightprayers (forget the orginal name of the file, let's call it Nightprayers)

The scores for the scene in the bar : Garbage

And an unused track which were released formerly for the fight scene and then for the scene in the bar. Finally, with Aral, we decided to not use it : Fight

PS : Sorry for all the mistakes I could make in writing English in this post.

Very well done, Aral. It's easily the best CoH/CoV vid I've seen

Makes me want to try and steal your secrets

That was pure blissful CoX entertainment. I feel I need to master the art of Demo-Editing and Video Capture.

Tried it, gave up. LOL

Only just found this after the General Discussion thread about it.

Pure genius.

As far as I'm concerned it's probably the first thing I've seen that make YouTube worthwhile... busy downloading the high-resolution version (and your 2 earlier vids) now.

btw - isn't it about time that GhostRaptor gets creative genius runing again...

I'm sorry. I'm gonna have to go with the consensus here and say that was easily the best player made video I've ever seen. Professional, intense and very atmospheric.

Carry on people!

This!

And why ain't we playing characters that can use Katana and kick like MA?


He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.
