Movie Maker


New Dawn

With SG Bases, mission creator, the prospect of many different zones going to different eras in different places around the world tra la la. I thought it would be nice to suggest a movie creator or a nice little short one. This game seems to be heading towards offering players a level of creativity and creativity is what you can't put a lid on.

I heard that creating a machinima is quite a lengthy arduous chore but using all of CoXs tools couldn't there be a issue offering a package that helps people make one "plug n play" easy?

Pick zones, create missions, move items, put npc characters in it and then give, using simple tools, instructions for which the characters can follow.

You could tell character to at 26 secs goto X, after getting to X we'd know that its 29 secs and then say at 29 secs say Y and use power A.

With 36 slots a server we could create our own super characters, level them up to the right powers and then put them into our little film.

A short film could be a back story for our character(s) that can be an optional link to in our Bios.

I don't know how hard that will be, but if someone said in a years time we could create our own little features, I'd be staying tuned.

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.

I love the idea of making movies with created characters, but it seems like the movie stuff is latched in the realm of hard-core wise-guys that have the time and patience to learn how to use complicated stuff.
Some sort of system would be ace, using either new tech or a combination of current things (the maps used for bank missions, mission creator and suchnot)

I like the concept. I'd love to make some movies but... it's not as easy as it looks, and some of the movies are truly excellent

Anything that makes it easier to get the creative juices flowing works for me
