[ Collaboration ] Front Page Video for Nexuiz 2.5

[paperclips]

If there are to be more than one video, i would propose a "history / timeline" also included in the "what is new in 2.5?"-video which would show a couple of seconds of the older versions being played before the "2.5 new" material.

FOTY can't be the one. For the simple reason that this game has to be appealing to as many people as possibly. So showing only "hardcore" super cool stuff that only the experienced players can do, can throw off newbies. They might think it's too intense and that they wouldn't stand a chance and die all the time.
I didn't like that aspect of Quake 3 Arena too much before and I was a newbie and no way to beat those crazy guys who hits everything every time.

Thats why speed differences could make them see both world: clean and easily visible frags for the slower part, and intense, weapon-combination filled pwnage for the faster part so they can see this game actually can be more than just click... walk (with arrow keys )... click... walk.... click... frag...
Also a video showing some advanced stuffs has encouraging effect, at least in my opinion.

but that dont mean you should only show tripple mid-air mortars where you both are falling into the void

Would be ideal to have Morphed's models as well. Who wants to persuade him?

omg, how true... that means the surprise models need to be revealed for the creator of the video

why are all talking about the content?

first we need someone who does the editing, then we can decide what we can put into the video.

Talking about music I was waiting for brue to finish his intro and use that intro for making nexuiz intro, but he disappeared, so... There is still that old version. Nexuiz 2.5 version intro can be done by anyone and can also include somebody's speech to present new features in a vocal form (e.g here we can see a new weapon, which is called camping rifle. It's headshots are lethal, but you need some practice to aim it correctly because of new ballistic model...) Video shows an example of cr headshot or smth.

Talking about trailer, maybe some upload space is required where people could upload their best (not only skillful, but also funny, lucky, etc...) 5 shots. Later the producer could watch through and place the cuts into the movie according to the plan & music beat.

I might be able to give a few frag demos...

Yep, that guy makes effecting for living
The point is anyway the tension that the music contains, thats what i wanted to point out. Well as I saw, the music that shaggy linked (Broken light) was really cool in that meaning, but too long of course (yeah i know it can be cut.. ). Just trying to give the idea, not to put a flat techno-like stuff under it, if it can be avoided.

If cortez would make the recording in ultimate quality, it would be very cool, at least we have a man for that job I recommend to capture it at least on 240 fps just as pavlvs did on his "Octobre" video, and reencode it to 30 with motion blur. Still noone willing to make the editing job?

Also something I could help in: I could create the starting first seconds of the video with the "Nexuiz" title being sliced apart with laser or dunno, and then a zooming in for the video that comes, or sth like that, so.. a dynamic start.

Wasn't it 480 fps? Yes I think the correct value is 480 = 16*30. Otherwise the effect is not so soft and clean.
