    Default Fourth Age: Video Maker Required

    We are looking for someone who has the skills or is willing to learn the skills to become our Fourth Age outsource video maker. Videos have always been seen as a bit of a luxury and we have no one on the team with the time to attend to this.

    It is not critical to the mod of course, but it would be nice to be able to have some footage to aid in our storyline and to promote the mod and its music. We've recently had a new musician allow us use of his music and still have our signature piece unused and awaiting a video.

    If interested then please reply to this thread.

    Only reply if you are committed.

    Here are the relevant links for learning about the process, though we prefer someone who already has some experience -

    We would like to see samples before taking it any further.

    Thank you.

    Thank you for your response.

    WMM, in my experience (which is not great btw), puts out bad quality video. However, perhaps there are settings and other things to get around that - could you provide a sample?

    yes I am working on 3 samples at the moment based around Arthurian Total War, Lord of the Rings and Rome Total War links will be posted soon.
    Yes I have found the correct settings for video as I agree quality isn't great at normal.

    Great - look forward to it!

    Here's an old lotr:tw one (the fourth age does not have any on youtube for quick veiwing). This portrays the detail/skill we need though - lotr:tw videos use the movie soundtrack as overlay. In our case we would wish to preserve the sounds of the battle, hooves etc and blend our music in.

    I do not currently have any rendered in-game footage sorry :(
    I have produced 3 videos using different themes. One is Rome: Total War based, one Arthurian Total War and Flight Simulator X and the other is a Lord of the Rings based idea. It took me about 2 hours to make all three (including tea).

    Please go to Work for Fourth Age and look at the videos.
