Status On All Ns Movie Makings

<div class="IPBDescription">(would be nice to have them)</div> In the past year, we have read about folks starting NS movies. A few status had been given but most of them were like 3-6 months ago. It would be nice to get a status for all of them.

I can speak for Pre/Selection movie since I'm making it. There is about 50-100 hours of work left on it (without counting rendering time). Some changes were discussed about its format but I won't say anything further. I can say however, that I am alone on this and its a learning curve for me. That's why its talking a bit of time to finish.

    So that means we can expect it soon right? I've been waiting for Pre/Selection since 2.0! Any chance of a small teaser?

    Wow, Pre/Selection looked incredible. We eagerly await it!

    (make sure to e-mail Zunni with it when you're done and before you release it, so we can make a big splash with it)

    Since no other movie making teams answered my thread, then is it safe to assume they all died (except Pre/Selection) ?

    The other Machinima projects were rather bad to begin with. And poorly thought out. Its no surprise to me that they no longer exist.

    is there a possibility to upp it somewhere else?? fileplanet really sucks and it isn't just that the download rate sucks, no you have to sign up, if you aren't a member of fileplanet.
    and I really wanna watch this teaser
  • Lt.RealnessLt.Realness Join Date: 2004-03-17 Member: 27379Members
    i watched the teaser recently (I downloaded it from the link thenub posted) - great work. this is amazing what these guys can do with the engine. I can't wait to see the result of it =)
  • Viper_two_nine_AViper_two_nine_A Join Date: 2004-09-29 Member: 31989Members
    dont know if this really is the engine .. or a little 3dsmax ;-)
  • Browser_ICEBrowser_ICE Join Date: 2002-11-04 Member: 6944Members
    I wasn't on this project when they did the teaser but I believe it to be with 3d max.

    I'm using 3d max for the movie but have to stay close to game looks (with a bit more details).

    Can I ask how long Pre-Selection will be? As in, running time?
  • PlanetkillerPlanetkiller Join Date: 2003-06-05 Member: 17028Members
    Didn't see this thread here, so didn't reply before, sorry.

    NS: Infestation is semi-going still. It's simply that no one was willing to help out with animation and the like. We have a full script, models and so on, we just can't currently use them.

    Well some changes were done to the P/S movie which doesn't change its overall duration (15-20 min I think but I don't quite remember) but the way it is now planned will make it deliverable in a faster way.

    I can't say more as I didn't have the OK from The Family God to do so. Anyway, I believe that this would be his responsability to do so.

    I know the feeling and been through this kind of situation on a few projects.

    Its a shame because it just manages to postpone a project or simply kills it.

    The second most negative side of any community project, is the lack of constant commitment from all members. Often, some members just loose interest or get lazy so they simply drop off and leave a whole in the project.

    Overall, good help is hard to find these days.

    Too right. Did you ever have a read of our script btw? I seem to remember someone from gworx had a look at it and liked it.

    Such big movie projects are very difficult .. especially with such a complex mod like Natutal Selection (with all it's difficulties for moviemakers). I think these projects can only be a success if you have talented team members and finish the project in a relative short time ... otherwise motivation will drop and the project propably die. If one of these big ns movie projects ever come to an positive end, they have my deep respect.

    Just watched the teaser - looks really great. Can't wait to see the final film (just like everyone else). <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
