PROMOTION VIDEO
Perdere qui cogitat malum in eam

Dear Ambrosians,

We would like to make a little Promotion Video Contest. We never really had a real Ambrosia Promotion Video, so now we would like to get one for "Project X". After reading this; you probably have some questions. I will try to answer most of them!

Question: A promotion video? Whats that?!?
Answer: A promotion video, is a youtube video that promotes Ambrosia and its servers. We would like to see several shots of our servers in the video, but also some forum-related shots are appreciated.

Question: What is "Project X"?!?
Answer: Yeah, that's a good one!

Question: When is the deadline for this video?
Answer: The deadline is 9/9/2012 at 24:00 GMT+0.

Question: Can we win something?
Answer: There is a little reward yes, but the biggest reward is: that we are using your video!

Regards,
The Emperors.

Post by: Arne on September 03, 2012, 12:05:31 am: Or this one, i like this one a lot for video's :D. But you need to time it correctly with the video, that after the bass the picture changes and we need some nice shots (headshot and skillshots).

But its open, feel free to do whatever you want. Its your video and your imagination

Title: Re: Promotion Video contest, be part of Project X
Post by: Rawrplus on September 03, 2012, 09:02:25 am: As said, this is promotional video is connected with project X (or better said may be) but it's not the project X itself.
Title: Re: Promotion Video Conest, be part of "Project X"
Post by: Ed on September 03, 2012, 12:27:24 pm: If I could make a video I would go into each server, make some pictures of a lot of players and record some epic things with a lot of people involved.

I like fragment's second video because of the song, but mostly it's map pictures, better would be if in those pictures were lots of players, that would be great bonus. Just saying :D

Maybe i should figure this out myself and make one? Unfortunately have not much clue how :D
Title: Re: Promotion Video Conest, be part of "Project X"
Post by: tajski on September 03, 2012, 12:39:41 pm: That's the whole point of my idea Sami, I decided to make pictures of players but unfortunately there wasn't a lot of players on the servers. Lets take CTF for example, what the hell is this? Two flags?! :D I will edit this video with more screenshots that have a lots of players :)
Title: Re: Promotion Video Conest, be part of "Project X"
Post by: Jorzki on September 03, 2012, 12:58:31 pm: Hey,

What is the little reward? 8)
Are you able to get HLTV in those servers for campath material (if not it can be done a bit harder way)
Do you have some text what must be in the vid? (Community name, servers, IP's, Leader names)
Any ideas how much views the intro vid could get? Is it only going to be on Ambrosia website or are you gonna really spread the word and advert with the vid?
I assume it can stay uploaded on vid maker's channel? And doesn't need to be in "Ambrosia offical youtube channel"?

Mostly asking these questions because I'm trying to figure out is this worth it.

since if we use a lot of ingame video's the video would be 10 min + and it should be a short promotional video (in my eyes it should though)

I agree with pim, otherwise it would become to long. Song si really good in my eyes, matches really good with the video.
But the video is really dark, can you make it brighter? Cant barely see the forums and some screenshots.

@Sickz, nicely done lad. Looks sweet!

i talked about this with the high staff and there seems to be shared meenings about this:

it may sound cheap
yet it atracts players to the conmunity

thats why i did it ^^

Post by: Grmbl on September 04, 2012, 10:23:22 pm: Pim,

I really like the style of your video and the music matches perfectly.

But some transitions are afwul (seems randomly generated) I would keep the same transtion u use when the video fades to the black screen with the white letters.

(tip: U can also use a single white frame as a transiton, has a really cool effect, just make sure it times with the music ;) )

And some screens have some weird things in it, like steam pop-ups, try to crop the screens :)

SicKz,

I really really love the way the movie looks! :)

But its quite boring imho and tho I like the music, it doesnt really add much to the video.

maybe u 2 should team up :D
Title: Re: Promotion Video Conest, be part of "Project X"
Post by: Jorzki on September 05, 2012, 08:54:16 am: SicKz,

Use campath for those camera movements, it clearly shows that you were on HLTV/spectate mode and just manually moved the camera, and also you can take off those hltv borders so you don't need to keep black borders all time on.

I disagree, maybe the music syncing isn't there but as the promo video it has enough what it means. Remember it's there to represent Project X not a 20 min video full of screenshots everyone will skip. Promos should be short and get viewers attention and tell you something about community so I'm assuming you don't know what Promo is in general. Don't get me wrong for questioning your knowledge, all I'm saying is it is what promo should look like, it's not a montage or community showcase.

Dont assume... it doenst make ur comment better nor friendlier ::)

Let me clarify what I mean, again I really like the video, and I do understand what a promotion video is (actually got a degree in it :P). But everyone knows how dd2 looks like, or train etc. I think it just would be better if there was some action so hence the boring :)
