I think it would be a good idea to get all the footage sorted out first.

Then have it stored somewhere for download, then whoever whats to have a crack at making the video can do.

Maybe have a poll afterwards

I like GM's idea about having interviews but these would need to be short sound bites in the region of 20-30secs per game, and probably played over game footage or nobody is going to watch it.

I also get his point about it needing to be more than just fraps'd game footage - while obviously we wouldn't be bunny hopping around or using exploits, we would certainly be associating ourselves with that kind of mentality by posting just yet another ingame fraps video.

Short, snappy clips with a good song and good effects. simple?

The first video i was planning to be made, was gonna be a short teaser..
And its not just gonna be a fraps of one game fading over to the next game..

Ive actually been writting a kind of "story line" and nearly done, and will be posted later

Excellent idea.

Short hello i am so and so this is what we do.

Kregs idea is great its just working at it from a different angle.

We need something to say "hey this is what we do come join us"

Been hunting around and THIS is the best video iv'e found by far! If thats not inspiration. I dont know what is

Most of the effects in them CS movies are actually pretty easy to do. I once made a WoW boss kill movie which featured a ton of those effects (got lost in a happy format ages ago though).

The problem with creating such movies is basically, taking the time to do them properly, and having the creativity to know when to use an effect and when not.

Technically they look more advanced than they truely are.

Which is what the video is gonna be containing, my goal isnt to create another go crazy fraps video, it will contain parts of text and voice eloborating what we do and who we are, and showing this is our way of gaming

I like this. Share the raw video and let everyone try. Set some rules like

a) has to present dmw as fun yet serious and dedicated
b) has to cover all the supported games
c) maximum of 2 mins

something like that?

My thoughts were to utilise all the power of community into one great video, rather then having our resources split out into several not so great vids..

id rather back off then see that done

I think we should get behind one video and see what can be done. There's absolutely nothing stopping people making more. But as Kregoron says we should pool our efforts. He seems to be furthest along with his idea so I think we should stick to that one idea. Then if there are more ideas we can pursue that would be great.

Hell we could even host our own machinima section if we want. I have a good friend who does WOW Machinima. In fact he won the Blizzcon 2009 Grand Prize for his work. Maybe I could get him to come here and give us some pointers etc?
