AWESOME TW Movie

[Shahed]

Well....

This evening I saw one of the best user made TW movies ever on YouTube, thanks to Lord Comnenus who posted this link at TWC.

So here it is:

YouTube video by Sin329

(blue are links).

Stunning camera angles, pro-extreme close up, VERY well filmed.
What do you all think ?

Hmmm...Sin329... playing the Turks...could it be SINan ?!

(just kidding, mate. Besides, I wouldn't mind either way, and if it IS you, well it's an outstanding movie so be proud)

I love the sun-fireball thing. Wonder how he did it. I also like the close-up DFK, you can almost hear him buckle up and say "well, that was a horrible, horrible mistake. *sigh* Well, MEN, IT'S ONCE AGAIN UP TO US !"

[Shahed]

HAHA !

He's an impostor ! No honest it was'nt me.. someone HAS to make a movie about LE FRENCH !! That's gonna be me ! :D
The naptha, the retreat into the stakes. Amazing talent.

The sun effect is a still, then he releases the clip on the still, it merges, and you get that shot.

[Tambarskjelve]

Fantastic use of angles, an amazing display of the small quirks and detail in the animation in the engine, like the celebrating.
I wonder how he got the knights to charge the stakes, AND the spear to retreat just before them, both things the AI would never do..

I often sit back after a really great battle, and wish i had been able to enjoy the show more, rather than panically order my units around.
I guess that's the curse of the general, the men gets all the fun.. :)

[Shahed]

Could be he was on LAN/Internet with someone. But I don't think so. He made a few replays, pathed the camera, set favorite angles, filmed it, cropped and minor edits, and posted.

It is hard to get the knights to charge AND pull back as perfectly as he did. I'd like to watch the show too, hence why I've opened a replay test thread. If the replays work for everyone as then we may finally be able to watch the show for a change.

BTW there's some decent Armed Assault videos there on his page as well.

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

Very well done, though neither of the two factions are my favorite.

[Ciaran]

Absolutely brilliant! I would have enjoyed a bit more of the infantry melee, but I suppose the exiting scene with the burning knight is about as dramatic as things can get.

[Daveybaby]

That is indeed very good. Would love to see a version without the horrible youtube compression.

I'm guessing that's to come in part 2

I think he did'nt do the melee because (LOL) it would have been really hard to get the same quality of shots. Just a guess. Indeed he might do a part 2 with it so he's got time to set it up.

Would love to see a version without the horrible youtube compression.

Good idea ! I'm going to post him a request.

[Csargo]

Good find Sinan! That is a great little movie. ;)

[Yun Dog]

SUPERB!!!

my compliments to the cinematographer

[Shahed]

Pleasure, Ichigo.

Here's another.
It's pretty good I think, though that Papal States vs Turks movie has set a new standard. That standard will be hard to meet.
In this movie you can tell that good animation shots are elusive, because the animations keep snapping.

LINK !

The ending is GREAT !

[Csargo]

Another nice one.

[Kaldhore]

Nice video, a greatdemo for the game I think :)

[Shahed]

GREAT ! Glad you guys like vids too... so I'm gonna be posting loads of links !!!

STAY TUNED !!!

[Flavius Merobaudes]

Yeah, please post some more, sir!
It's quite odd in the second video that the guy sees any historical ties between TKs and 1942.

Why ? Stalin certainly commissioned a LOT of movies linking his "Great Patriotic War" and Russia's victory against the Drang Nach Osten, to emphasize two points : that the Germans were bad bad meanies, and that they could be beaten by plucky Russian peasants.

I'm not really fond of the movie though. Too slow-paced, little to no editing work, a LOT of close-ups meant to be stylish but with the fighters clearly not hitting each other...

[Flavius Merobaudes]

Some more fans of old Sergei Eisenstein propaganda movies here?
I remember the Teutonic Knights in "Alexander Newski". They came right from hell... Too bad Stalin came from hell, too.

[Kobal2fr]

Yeah, Nevsky is frickin' great... if a bit heavy-handed at times. I mean, throwing babies in the fire ? Might as well write "Germans are bad, m'kay ?" on a sledgehammer and hit the audience with it

[Flavius Merobaudes]

Oui. J'ai la meme opinion. Mais les Francais, ils sont les plus mauvais dans tous circonstances. Simplement terrible, ces gens! Et la langue...
Well, I guess my French is too bad. So I must stop mocking you.

Un ballon pour m'excuser?
Don't take this serious!

Great find. Very nice. It's the best usermade M2TW video I've seen :)

A friend of mine once phrased our feelings on patriotism thus : "Les gens ne sont fiers d'où ils sont nés que quand ils n'ont vraiment rien d'autre." (people only take pride in where they were born when they don't have anything else to be proud of). So don't worry, no offense taken

[Marius Dynamite]

Great Video. One bad thing is the archers not pulling back the string on the bow :( I wish that would get fixed!

[Shahed]

Yeah but there is incredible detail anyway but I agree would be nice to see everything, the arrow, string and all.

[Doug-Thompson]

Yes, it is an awesome movie. Did I mention that I love Naffatun?

[Shahed]

Not previously, no. But you just did !

[Shahed]

Here's another GREAT movie, made by Another_Canadian:

M2:TW Scotland vs England.

ENJOY !

[Kobal2fr]

That one I like ! Although duelling archers with the limeys ? Not the brightest idea ever . But it's really well made. I love that travelling behind the synchronised archers volleying in turn.

[Shahed]

Check this out. Another "test" by Sin329

Venice vs Turks <-LINK !

ENJOY !

[Kobal2fr]

That man has talent. That swordfight in the end is a thing of beauty, and extra points as well for Hot Ribault Action
