    Default Trailer.

    Right, a few of you guys may remembered my ill-fated attempt to get an intro vid for the mod going.

    Well, i thought of this instead:

    how about a cool promo trailer that can be released via youtube to generate even more hype for this mod!

    this isn't just words, i came up with this instead of doing German at school today;

    So, we could have a short trailer previewing the main changes in this mod:

    • Flash up the name of each new faction over an image/clip of one of their specific units, with a nice big BANG noise when the name is in focus/on screen.
    • Could have a big Panoramic sweep over the campaign map
    • Zoomed in shots of iconic/best looking units
    • Panoramic shot of chaotic battle

      or
    • Narrated style, like in the Vanilla RTW intro video?
    • Tells small story about the stste of the world
      etc


    or

    Full Trailer?
    • Medium length trailer,
    • "The team that brought you RS1, RS1.5, RS1.6............(game footage)
      presents it's newest release..........
    • "With several new factions (list them), with a bang every time a name appears on screen."
    • "Totally refreshed strat map and all new amazing battlemap environments"
      {SCREENS OF BOTH!}{Video of battle maps with battles on them}
    • Talk about new trait
      system breifly
    • Buildings?
    • all building up to a black screen with the RS2 logo appearing in the centre.


    so there's a little thought of mine :-)

    Good questions...also worth seeing what PseudoRomanus and Elendil are up to.

    So far I haven't made anything yet for two reasons:
    1. IMO it doesn't make sense to work on a vid right now when the graphic improvements are not completed yet, and
    2. and this reason is even more important: I haven't finished DL'ing the mod yet . I'm still having problems with it and DL'ing at a rate of 2 mb every time I push the 'SVN update' button .

    I will get in touch with them tomorrow morning, are either of them
    on the team, because if they are to be involved in this video, it would be a great help to have them be able to see this forum.

    i'm also trying to track down a laptop, but i doubt i can :'(

    that all makes sense to me :-)

    besides, this video can be the last thing that gets done before release.

    I just thought i'd share that idea before i forgot it :-)

    Well, all that really needs to be finished are the units and environment - the other bits such as campaign balance, traits etc you don't really need for the trailers. So, the trailer does not have to be the last thing to be done.

    How long do you think it would take to put a trailer together if everything that you needed was complete? I don't think for one minute that putting a decent trailer together will be a simple or easy task.

    About the first statement, you're right. Graphic things completed only is what we need to work on a trailer.
    About your question, if no RL issues rise, it won't take to long for me to make my vid in the way I had already planned it. You'll see, I've been working on it in terms of the concept, length, music and stuff. I only need to do the shooting part now.

    Yes, as I've mentioned before. The ones I'm planning on redoing are:

    Numidian cavalry
    Balearic slingers
    Spartan general +/- captain
    Tweak Scythian hoplite / slavic spearman

    Great idea bout the trailer!

    What you could also do is make a trailer out of a Historical Battle

    In other words, you show a battle, and at the end, it's clear it's for instance battle of Lake Trasimene

    It could be used as one. Similar to this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyZNjKkhtkw regarding the concept not the execution. Much more dynamic though, as it fits RS time frame.
