Had a punt with the footage I took late last year.

[video=youtube;f056pt-DyxY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f056pt-DyxY[/video]

Comments, ideas and better footage welcome!

Edit: Made it public now. Sorry. Also, spotted that I mistyped Duvel as Duval...!! As I said, draft!!

Would be nice to have //www.deadmen.co.uk showing up somewhere. Plus the end credits could be on screen for longer. Otherwise outstanding work. You might be starting a trend as I can see our other games all wanting a movie about them now. :)

Nice job Arithon.  

+1 to Smilo's comments.

Any chance you can get something in there to stress the teamwork side?  Perhaps having some action shots with the our TS comms to show the cooperative side that we are trying to promote?  Otherwise it's a lot of BF3 promo and not 'reasons why to play with dMw'.

On a slightly odd note, I'd stay away from putting things like 'written by EA, produced by Dice.  It's the sort of thing they might get arsey about imo.

It also would be more correct if it said, produced by Dice, broken and abused by EA.

But I agree with TL on this one. It looks great, but it doesn't say much about dMw imo.

Footage. There's the problem. I only have footage I took. There isn't any example of teamwork in what I've got. Did we get any good stuff from anyone else?

Friday night's Chopper footage from Duvel's flying and my shooting would have been good. 26-0 K/D R in five minutes. Totally gutted I didn't have FRAPS or PlayClaw recording!

All footage contributions are welcome!

Noooo, finally had a good round that one flying, no lag at all.
Anyway, still liking the vid. What footage did Ninja take the other night btw?

First draft was great, second draft was even better. Only thing i can think to suggest would be to hold the final frame with the credits for longer, maybe five or six seconds. It's not quite long enough to read through and note our details. But it's a minor point about a really decent video. Now we need one for SWTOR, Arma 2, Black Ops, WOW,,,,,,,,,,

Quote from: BrotherTobious;345460love the Indy but.

But? What can I add?

Because each "clip" is 2s or less, getting audio that works is all but impossible. I'd have to strip out TS audio, then re-add it to multiple clips but then the gunfire etc. wouldn't match. In the end I went for the "silent clip" approach.

I think you mistaken my meaning, the map with the red lines it was very Indiana and raiders of the lost arc.  

I think to make to get the tactics and voice coms just means having to capture more footage, Fraps does it quite well, I used Adobe premier and you can split the sound out of that or add it back in. And do levels etc.  

But really like it mate it is great fun :)
