Fourth Age: Video Maker Required

[Dol Guldur]

LOTR:TW is a great mod. Wles has done a great job. His video creator - Echolyn (formerly Spongebob) - made some great videos too. But he disappeared some time ago now.

I look forward to seeing some samples. Just post here when you're done, or PM me.

Echolyn ran off to Disneyland.







I'm not kidding.

The Video quality isnt great :( because the good output would be 60mb which is a little too much for me as my limit is low on broadband. I think it is the same setting used for LOTRTW trailer so its best at small screen. I used the sounds from LOTRTW and the soundtrack; I couldnt record the sound as I didnt have time but I can do it for next time. Dont be alarmed by the two shots at the end they are meant to be still. I have pm'ed' you the file link, everyone else it is available from http://hosted.filefront.com/drwho200/

I'd love to give this a shot as I have a lot of experience with video editing but little with the RTW movie cam, hopefully I could assemble something in a couple of weeks after extensively studying the movie cam.

This "signature piece" you mentioned, it means music right? Sort of like a "main theme" of FATW? Plus is the new music you mentioned in your post in the mod already? To get access to it, just download the mod right?

Crian,

Thank you for your interest.

We would indeed welcome your samples for review.

We have been blessed with some fine music by some very generous musicians (and recently have acquired permission to use the album of another which will be featured on 2.0).

The signature piece itself is not in the mod as that particular piece we have only secured the rights to distribute it in non mp3 format. As music files cannot be packed in a BI mod we can only use this piece in video.

If you wish to access some of our current music you must indeed download the mod - or more specifically the music pack. But, of course, it will be hard to take shots of the game without installing that too ;)

The latest build and current (critical) patch, as well as the music pack, can be found by following the link in my sig (go to the forums).

Thx again for your interest and we look forward to seeing your work.

D.G.

Aaah I see, so you'll only release the "signature piece" to the movie maker who receives your stamp of approval.

Alright I see, off to work for me then.

Or then I will edit it in after you've assembled the footage (amongst other tracks too), if you wish so.
