MaxRiga 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Hi people I've decided to share my idea with the community of armedassault.info but I also place this topic here. Noone ever made video news about one single game. I mean the real weekly news completely about one single game. Once I was huge fan of OFP long ago and still playing ArmA sometimes ( unfortunately very rarely ) I thought this would be great idea to produce weekly news about this game. Some of you might remember I was making movies in OFP and i'm working in video business today ( yes, OFP completely changed my life, lol ). So, as an example I've created little presentational video of how ArmA news could look like. There is absolutely easy editing, no special effects and stuff but still you can see the conception of the idea. If the idea will be accepted so more effects and work could be added to the project )) My English was a parody on my own Russian accent ( which one I have since I'm russian, u know, lol ) but for real news I think we need some1 with English mother language, lol. So this kind of news could be broadcasted by armedassault.info ( or another website ) on the front page so all addon/video/island makers could demonstrate it's own productions )) Also, official news/blocks/stories/interviews could be placed in news. Well, shortly to say all of us know that it's more interesting to watch video then read news from webs )) From another side it's very complicated to be responsible for weekly news and be the person in touch with people all over the world taking care of the project. So I will be straight I will not be doing this for free. May be some other video makers could try to do it for free but not me. The reason why I'm opening this topic is to ask - how do u folks think will it be possible to open kinda donation for news production or any other ways of little payment so some1 ( or me ) could take care of this ArmA news weekly? Any way, even if there is no way of doing this for $$$$$ but idea is good J))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dementt 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Hmm, I am totally up for this. Have to develop it and when I have something that can actually be shown. I will ^^ Nice thinking really Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
opteryx 1562 Posted October 9, 2007 Haha! Jerryhopper does indeed need some competition in the media world of ArmA. Personally I think this is an awesome idea! Hope to see more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted October 9, 2007 I like the idea, it's the logical next step in web based news format! Anyway, about the money side of things. Maybe get sponsors? You could then "hire" screenspace out to them and show their logo so it scrolls accross the bottom of the screen, or maybe have a static logo in the corner that then fades into the next sponsors logo that all show for the exact same length of time (with any odd timings being filled by your own logo or that of what you're reviewing at the time so it's fair). A good example is how Chris Pirillo does this on his youtube channel and live webcam blog thingy on his site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ArmaVidz 0 Posted October 9, 2007 MaxRiga your accent is perfect for Armed Assault! I liked that video you have available! I think this is a great idea. I think the fellas that are shakers and movers in the armed assault media area are Supershooter, Kenwort and Jerry Hopper. It'd be pretty cool> I'm sure there are more that I don't know about - but maybe they might be able to help this come along Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colkurtz 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Excellent stuff MaxRiga, the video is fantastic and so is the idea, thanks for the effort and your accent is indeed  perfect for Armed Assualt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenwort 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Hey MaxRiga! I knew you would come back sooner or later It's a damn fine idea.. something i thought would be to hard and complicated to show every time something new comes out. But what exactly do you plan to show? Talk about what in the videos? New addons? Islands... videos? ArmA2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted October 9, 2007 It'd be nice to have a weekly round up of news imo. So maybe show some footage of any new addons and the like that have been released in the past week or so. Just check on youtube for similar things relating to tech news and the like to get ideas of what to feature and how to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocket 9 Posted October 12, 2007 This was done quite successfully back in the "golden days" of virtual airlines with flight simulator, particulary 1998-2001. At one time, there was a daily video news digest and about four weekly shows online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
