' Wrote:we need people (2 perhaps) in camera ship and as many player as possible in staring.
I'm thinking of player fleet parade (everyone on server disguise themselves flying valkyrie, some gunboats, some cruiser and battleships for example), fight, fly by of esthetic systems from nice angle of filming, etc. I'm not sure for battle, since these tend to be somewhat boring unless we go on no regen no shield or something like that. Quick, enjoyable
I agree, space battles can be boring unless you have a really involved one, and almost explain the different aspects of the battle through the camera as if you where the ship. Hard to explain.
In saying that, this is where chopping changing and special effects comes in. Makes the battle more...Shorter:P
FRAPS is the best recorder, but really...The one producing the film, needs to be the one recording. The footage is huge! And if you want a nice picture, keeping it as a RAW AVI and importing the footage into a powerful video editor that can support the codec and amount of RAM it takes to watch the video, would need to be done locally.
As in, I can't transfer a 30 second clip to someone in Germany or the USA. Because its a gig. Try uploading a gig to a place where you ping 250 with an upload speed of 16KB/s.
Thats the only concern I have.
Meh.
"Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do."
for a trailer if you have a good enough imagination one can do all by themself.
Flyby's are nice, combat is good, but what is it you really want to portray will dictate what you need and how many will be needed.
Say for instance you take a Cap ship and gun boat on patrol, then would be best for 2+ people to be involved.
If you want the rogue character that stumbles onto something, 1+ person/people can be used.
other alternatives, find an NPC patrol group and get some shots with them.
ok technicals:
vid size of 320x480 is OK (bout that) youtube and all else use cause it keeps MB sizes low
640x480 standard TV resolution and old monitor display settings. also default on lots of intro vids to games.
-----do note that 90% of all vids hanging around are about this resolution.
LARGER resolutions= VERY GOOD. they are large files to dl and share, however you can put in as much detail as you want.
Sound quality= 2 channel. Even if you have a sound editor that can excede more than 2 channels it is pointless as 75% can not hear the extra or is drowned out by the front two, or like me have headphones on so I can listen to anything as loud as I want.
Please normalize your sound track to the video, typical thing most forget to do then you have scenes louder than others and music blasting at wrong parts etc.
An old sample video I did real quick is uploading to youtube as we speak. Itwas really just a test to play with fraps before realizing just how much space it took up. Will post it as soon as it's available.
