We need a trailer for Discovery!

[Lupusy]

some very good small movies can be made juts focussing on one of the thousands of stories going on in Discovery..

so no need for lots of people to get involved. just 1 or 2 players with a strong storyline and a tale to tell. I havent read Orin Hastings background -- but for example just a story of one of his adventures :-

1) Intro background to character and situation
2) Shoot to present moment wher ehe is going and why
3) What happened
4) Things get bigger than expected etc etc
5) Emotional moment
6) Finale -- close to credits for sequel

my only worry is the quality. i really dislike youtubes quality so maybe we can stick it on a video site with better resolution. or even better stick it on a torrent on one of the big torrent sites.

I always wanted to do a FL animation video... but I dont have sufficient time to draw all the components and animating... good luck with the idea.

Lets not delude ourselves any longer. You'd also have to get microphone equipment, plus find out how they originally made the movie, plus we'd still have to find the people.

With that kinda equipment, it would be easier to actually make a new game <freelancer 2> but under a different name.

This is a mod from russia, <unless i'm mistaken>

I'm from america, i have a friend in the czech republic, canada, china, one on the opposite side of the united states, and spain.

The plane tickets would cost........oh.......guestimate about 5000 alone just to get there. ANd thats just for the people who i know <in the general area> where they live.

Plus we'd have to buy tickets back.

But, if SOMEHOW, we managed to raid a company, get all of that equipment, manage to flee the country without getting caught and hide perfectly from the local cops,

I'd like the trailer to be something like a super smash bros. trailer, with tidbits of everything, from the nomad containment in the omicrons, to order activity, to various rp stories that are bandied about, to the kusari-bretonia war, to a short fat LPI pilot eating a donut.

I think that would be awesome, but we'd better drop it. Lest we go mad with wanting.

lawl, no need to make such complexe things. This is a promotional movie if I understand. In FL, we barely have character interacting.

A microphone, at least 50% of the people here have one, and im sure 50% at least of these people would volunteer for the little task of voicing, would it just be to contribute to a mod they like. All that for free.

we dont really need to meet each other live. A skype chat or teamspeack, and there you go.

<grumble> bubble popper...

In my mic suck though, i would be willing to help <but since that isn't happening> i'd have to get a new one.

Speaking of which, i need a web cam.

I pour salt on your damned grapevine.

I don't have the computing power to efficiently run Fraps and Freelancer on the fly, especially with people everywhere.

I doubt I'd be a good organizer, I just want to help get the ball rolling. Since there seems to be a trailer or something being made according the the grapevine gardener, friendly competition could boost the quality, if they aren't rushed.

After all, when in competition, ideas come to mind and motivation can be high. Rather than slowly trudging through the project.



When it comes to voicing (if any) and animations, I've seen people program the game's characters to doing out of the ordinary things in cut scenes. (Remember Trent blowing up Manhattan with a device movie).

Its all possible, but not easy. Voicing should be fun, I remember people volunteering to add different voices into the game, so we don't get an all American voice box in every pilot.

The only motivation I can provide is in-game cash and probably my Welsh accent for the Molly's. If I can sort out my old microphone, or buy a new one next month.
