Re: Hostile Acts II: Teaser Trailer

The first film is badass. Excellent editing job Jaws!

Is there some sort of effect on in the carrier scenes, or is the brightness/contrast just up? Or is it just me?

I added a very subtle glow but enhanced the colors using different effects for the entire video track. I didn't want to stray too far form the look of the game but wanted to give it a more cinematic feel.

for HA2, I plan to enhance the colors again but this time...to augment the feeling of being on the streets and in combat. Again, it will be subtle but at the same time, cinematic. My biggest hurdle is depth of field which I feel if accomplished correctly, will really make the game feel more film-like.

It's been a long time since Acts 1, I've been waiting for this for quite some time, and do you have any clue to when it will be complete?
Just don't make it too emotional now, I've seen Apologise Now and I hope this movie getssome serious death dealing moments if anything. I'd say if you can do it, leave the music off for some scenes, adds to the drama without needing drowsy music.

P.S. John, if you got hold of Vegas yet, edit 2 completely different camera scenes and layer them on-top of each other. Play around with the layer properties, and subtract some of the colour channels. It's easier than moving text! Each option is unique and the results are always fun and random... try it!

I agree, the music will be big but it will play second fiddle to the action this time. the soundscape that I'm creating is really going to make or break the film this time. As for death, you won't be disappointed lol.

Re: Hostile Acts II: Teaser Trailer

for HA2, I plan to enhance the colors again

please dont use too many effects. there have been really good movies in the past and they were weighed down due to sloppy and too high a number of effects. im sure it will look cool though, i cany wait!

so whats the status? have you acted it all, filmed it all, are in the editing phase, what? are you at liberty to say haha or is it top secret...?

Re: Hostile Acts II: Teaser Trailer

in hostile acts at the end.....it looks like the guy is about to jump on the blades of a BH

a couple of advices you could use

you should make sure that things like these below arent that obvious

-you could tell that you guys were trying not to hit each other with guns

-dont repeat one same scene yep you know you did that a couple of times

-dont make the enemie look dumb lol like that one scene where they are running out of the opening in the wall and just getting killed

it was still an awesome video but Im just trying to tell you what I would have fixed if i was you :p

please don’t use too many effects. there have been really good movies in the past and they were weighed down due to sloppy and too high a number of effects.

That's also the problem for me atm, sure it's easy to get the effects in the movie. But making it look like the game? that's where the time tolls.

Please do get some movie colours in there, that's the first professional movie sign, that pop's up right there.
I would want this to be called advice, but I can't help stressing it this time round: Don't use glow!
Just don't, not this time round. There's a time and place for glow and it's to make the whole screen white, not just some areas!
I made a mistake in the trailer, and it's only worked well in another make I did earlier, but even that needed fixing.

And lastly read this: http://www.totalbf2.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72238 - this is a must, it's got a sticky!
