Being the determined and perfectionist personality that i am (not to mention obsessive compulsive ) I've decided i MUST GET 3 STARS! Time to find a song that inspires me to make a nice lil scene. Then i'll try and recreate another elite mission to play when done watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted March 3, 2003 I just added a 3-star entry for the AEF Campaign Trailer. Uses OFP music only. Usually, the music is secondary to the clip, don't you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiNs_Da_Smoka 0 Posted March 3, 2003 Personally, you could have the coolest song in the world, but if the camera work sucks, then it sucks, plain and simple. But i find the music can be inspirational. My life revolves around music. And i was sitting back and listening to mah Deftones CD and turned on this song. And the part with that women singing/screaming/going nuts, i found it to be very inspirational and sent a sort of feeling of sadness throughout. Thus why that part of the song mainly shows all the dead bodies and whatnot. If given the right sequence of events and setting, music can add alot to a scene. I wouldn't say its necessary, not in the least, but like i said, given the right circumstances, it can really help to add alot. I used to make cutscenes all the time using OFP's music, then i found that by adding my own, i could help emphasis the point in which i was trying to get across in the scene.

AngusHeaf 0 Posted March 5, 2003 Last week, or perhaps the week before, I was experimenting with my video gear and decided to give OFP filmmaking a try. This is an EXPERIMENT and not meant to tell a story or be all fancy and whatnot, so bear that in mind. This is basically a compilation of 3 or so missions on BAS Intel Raid the first time I had played it with my squad. First person view, third person spectator mode, cut to some music because I hadn't quite figured out how to record in game sounds (which I now have). BIG DOWNLOAD!! DivX 5 Version, 50MB, 7:50m long, great quality for doublesizing. http://www.mphasemedia.com/extrane....ivx.avi Windows Media 8, 24MB, 7:50, looks good 100% but not bigger http://www.mphasemedia.com/extrane....wm8.wmv Feel free to let me know what you think, good or bad (doesn't mean I have to agree though, hehe). I'm thinking that this type of filming will be most handy for tournament matches and training exercises. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many random scenes, jumping from 1st to 3rd to scope to compass - these are obvious. However, next time, try a lot more spectator view, following your team like a news cameraman. When the war is over, get back to the studio and, after a lot of editing, you may have yourself one clear smooth report of the battle. Good things come in small packages. Don't force yourself to stretch out a clip's time just to cover the music. Keep the music secondary. The most important thing is the cinematics. </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">Feel free to let me know what you think<span id='postcolor'> I just did.

AngusHeaf 0 Posted March 7, 2003 I'm using the following gear setup... GeForce 4 Ti4200 videocard w/s-video output Canon GL1 miniDV digital camcorder stereo splitter (mini headphone plug to 2 mini headphone jacks) Attach the digital videocamera to the s-video output on the videocard. Set the video to clone mode. Connect the Y cable to my sound card and connect a sound cable to my videocamera and also connect my headphones to the other portion of the Y cable. Start up OFP, drop in a miniDV cassette, and hit record. When I'm finished recording I send the footage back into my computer by connecting my videocamera's firewire port to the computer's firewire port and editting inside of Adobe Premiere. When I get some more time I will look into making more stylized videos that are more enjoyable to watch. Definitely need to work out a better way to use spectator mode. If I could only get rid of those cinema black bars at the top and bottom and still change views. Oof. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jester983 0 Posted March 8, 2003 Avon i have a suggestion, which might help you and all of us. How about a requirements page? So we know exactly what you are looking for. This way you can get through everything easier and possibly faster. I know myself i would greatly appreciate that. Anyone else feel that would help them?

Anyone else feel that would help them?<span id='postcolor'> Requirements? LOL! Just make it worth most folks download. Of course, at O/MTV, I'm the one that sets that opinion. The only restrictions I have is that I general don't accept clips with lewd music, words or scenes. Only had two come across my way so far. One I put on OMTV with a cautionary note. The other, the site said they'd contact the clip's producer to see if he could substitute the music. Now keep on trying! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jester983 0 Posted March 12, 2003 Okay thank you avon. I will keep working on it but currently im not finding the time and i am having problems with OFP and finding the right music... Anyone got any ideas for music that i could use for a tank video? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-TU--33ker 0 Posted March 12, 2003 i have found a nice song. Manowar - Shell shock and it's about the Vietnam war. lyrics: Shell Shock I don't know Well there's no charge for the haircut And the bullets come free My Uncle Sam sent a letter, said: He's got a mission for me Now I'm a ranger, not a stranger And I live in Saigon We've got a team of special forces And we deliver napalm But if they tell you that I've lost my mind Maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find About the time this letter gets home I'll be gone, gone, yeah gone And if they tell you that I'm M.I.A. Think a little less about me each day 'Cause if I ever get back I'll be shell shocked Feels funny riding in my car Used to drive a tank and shoot a B.A.R. I know I'm home But I feel gone,gone, yeah gone Now it's over and the homeland's safe Got a purple heart to show the world I'm brave The businessmen sat home Well I got shell shocked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
