Starting movie

[Comandertony]

ok so dont get me wrong KK and team did an amazing job with the mod ....but i was just wondering would it be possible to have someone work on the intro movie to the game...

i like the rohan intro battle and all but the voice and orcs before that kinda lagging...sorry dont want to be mean.

after watching some cool trailers to the mod i couldnt help but wonder if a new intro movie could be made to cover more of the factions or a glimpse of each faction for a brief second or something along those lines...since the mod is advancing in overall awesomeness and detail...

just a thought dont shoot me for it...please comment..

I think the movie's fine, but the voiceover is annoying.

[Beregond]

the intro is just brilliant, and why do you think there should be more factions? it's fine as it is. furthermore the guy who worked at it wanted to make more epic one, but he has other things to do now, so we should appreciate his great work done. this intro is better than any mod-intro I've ever seen!

- The Intro definitly will NOT be changed !!!

[Comandertony]

no dont get me wrong...its good i just dont like the voiceover and slight glimpses of orcs...

just thinking maybe show some scences where
HE are launching a massive arrow volley
Isengard beserkers are charging in at rohan
harad mumakil gathering
rhun soldiers setting up formations
mordor trolls setting up formations
SE charging orcs
OOTMM charging dwarves
Dwarves charging goblins
Gondor sending calvary charge(like in the movie)
Mordor attacking with waves of orcs and trolls leading up too...
rohans charge...like it is

just kinda covers all battles and preperations of the third age...

JUST A THOUGHT...said dont shoot me for it...

We already have the different faction intro movies covering the most notable units of each faction. Do you want a 30 minutes during general mod intro or something? Its fine how it is right now and I for one appreciate the work done by MBA the guy who made this (whatever he calls himself ).
Edit: my mistake

It wasn't me who did the game intro...
It was made by a professionell (i don't have programms to edit the clips like in the intro - sadly )

The vids done by me are almost all others except most faction intros (as i joined the team after the first 1.0 release) - though i will do the intros for the reworked factions...

Speaking of which, is the Rhun faction intro movie going to be redone since all of Dale's units have changed?

[Comandertony]

ok nevermind...........

[TheXand]

The voiceover for the intro isn't that great, we need someone with a big booming epic voice to carry it off.

true maybe it's a nice suggestion for that mod with voiceovers?

Was Linkansander and Dimitri that done the intro was it not? Voiceover by Smirk? Pretty solid intro I would say.

I can see where your coming from though, maybe splice a few battles together rather than just pellenor but I have a soft spot for that, its just so epic.

No it was Dimitry and another Timorfeys who does make video editing in his job... (check the credits )

Well i could redo this one as well, but i will first care for reworked eriador and arnor faction intro..
I don't know if rhun will be redone, since it was hard work jan spend on it doing it, and it's focus lays on rhun not dale

I thought Linkansander was the other Russian guy lol

Your forgetting his supremly awesome faction eliminated videos, he was very creative with Rhun. Dale sucked but come on what was he supposed to do.

They aren't in the mod as i think i already mentioned a few months ago

[Danny_K_1]

Well they should be, those videos would have been the best bit of movie making in it.

Regardless of the trailers made by the Russian pros they're the best M2TW vids I've ever seen. That Ithilien vid is made of pure win.

Linkinsanders "faction destroyed" vids weren't made of total war games but taken from scenes from the movie, so i think you cannot compare it to "ingame" videos...

I am doing both
For example for this mod, i've made some vids with scenes out of the movies, but also created some movies out of nothing, with the mod itself...
so guess what's much easier and less time consuming ?!? cut out the few seconds you need with two mouse clicks out of an existing track and putting it together
or makeing a replay the way you need it, finding good positions, creating cameras, than cut out your few seconds and put them together...

you sipmly cannot compare it with any M2TW vid !!! They will never be the same quality of course - not meaning that it is not difficult to make such movies and also not meaning they aren't very good...

[Danny_K_1]

They are movies aren't they? I mean if we could get moive shots over the ones in game we would take them wouldn't we? They can all be compared of course, ones more enjoyable to watch than the other simple.
