Seeking a collaboration of video producers

[Tomisama]

Have you asked help on the other sites?

No I haven’t, and really don’t intend to.

My experience with presenting new ideas on other community forums over the years, has been less than satisfactory (as nicely as I can put it).

The successful completion of this project requires a certain amount of dedication and attention to detail.

There will considerable amount of time and effort involved overall, and none to be waste on wise-guys, hecklers, and want-a-be no-shows.

Org patrons generally display a more mature sensibility, and are respectful of those trying to make a difference.

No; this is the place to really get things done, if they can be done anywhere at all.

Ops sorry I just saw the personal message.
The project sounds great. Video editors' style and preference differ, so the resulting product is going to be rich and diverse.
Personally I am just a starter in video making, but I will be happy to take part in this. I do not have FOTS but I think this project is enough motivation for me to buy it.
Quick questions:
- Is there a reason that this particular battle is chosen?
- How long is going to be resulting video and everyone's cut roughly?
- Where will it be used?
Thanks very much.

By the way, I do not play MP at all but I have often heard about CWC in clan Long's forum. Is this the same CWC? If so, I know a few people there who can make really high quality videos. Maybe I can ask for their interests (esp. if the video involves their clan)?

Also, I have uploaded about 1.5 dozens of videos on youku (captions in Chinese). Welcome to take a look at the more recent videos. http://u.youku.com/maltzXD

Quick Answers

1- Is there a reason that this particular battle is chosen?

It was chosen because it displays intense diverse action, that is still easy to follow, and that easily lends itself to a story line.

2- How long is going to be resulting video and everyone's cut roughly?

The final result will be less than ten minutes.

Each independent producer will be assigned one faction’s action to cover, up close and personal.

Using the narration script and radar over view of the battle, each is requested to record the events that they judge most important as they relate to their assigned faction’s part of the story.

Let me add at this point that what I am looking for is cuts-only raw-footage; that means shooting twice as long as you think you should on a particular shot, with no transition effects.

Because of logistic restrictions, your individual contributions will have to be less than ten minutes total.

And because only clips of that will be used, I am expecting that only one to three minutes of any one co-producer will be in the final cut.

3- Where will it be used?

The finished production will be distributed community wide (the whole world) and have permanent residence at Clan Wars.

4- Is this the same CWC?

Yes, and the same Clan LONG has been providing winning teams for our competition for many years.

5- if the video involves their clan?

Please understand that the objective here is raise up multiplayer as a team sport.

Like Clan Wars itself, it is not about any individual Clan or person, but about teamwork and community, so we won’t be saying anything about who did the actual fighting, as that has been done.

We will however be honoring those who contributed to this production and any Clan that they may belong to in the credits at the end

Thanks for the response. I will send you an email.

I am posting a preliminary opening for this project in hopes to attract some more co-producers, and hope I don’t scare any away

Neat trailer! Look forward to this project very much.
