Yes,this was my surprise video :D
People were asking why the terrorist didn't shoot them when they ran away,if you try and think in a psychological way for a moment,it was dark and stormy,and the terrorist had spotted them,and had a surprise.If they started running straight away,yes he could try and shoot them in this bad hazy weather,then miss them,and they would hide somewhere in the dark,so it would make more "sense" for him to try and catch them,which would also let him question them,than to try and shoot them first,and lost sight of them if he missed.It was also in the rush of the moment after he spotted them,so as soon as they ran,the terrorists main reaction was "crap,don't let them get away!".
He does raise in gun indoors if you look to try and take a shot,in the first corridor chase,you see him come through the door after him,he does raise his gun quickly trying to aim it,and then decides they're too far away and carries on running.So it wasn't a badly made decision,I think the decision was too "well thought" out,and it seems a bit amateurish what we did with the chase scene,but I hope I've made it all seem clear now after explaining the logistics of why I chose him not to shoot,it did cross my mind but I decided this was simpler to do,and "to me" made more sense.
If I was the terrorist,I'd want to try and get them alive,I would know there could be more on the ship,and I'd want to know where they are,or call them off.
Music was made using Sony Cinescore and Sony Acid 6.0.
Also missing credit,Videon07 was the voice of Delta 3 :P
Yes,there's ment to be a green tint,I've added about 8 different video layer effects to enhance THE EXPERIENCE!!!! XD
Episode 2 is due around next month to November ish,and we all know when I say November,I mean December right? less info
That was really nicely done, but i coulden't understand a word..
Didn't realise it was scouting,thought it was spam tbh.
I might check it out since you've verified that it is a genuine offer,thanks for the info I guess :)
I loled soo hard at the SAS voices XD
PS: i see that Myndflame's talent scout contacted you too?
I used the 360 version,so that made filming easier in terms of finding actors,but a lot worse for camera control and things like making the UI go away.
I do have a "Secret" method for removing the UI,and I don't want to say because if Infinity Ward catch wind of it,they might patch it up in the next update :(
That happened to me in Gears Of War
I still havn't found a way to hide UI, except to play hardcore and fraps during the 5 seconds holding up a grenade before it blows. Also some of the camera angles were great, i mean... how can you record from an above angle? What's your secret method? xD
Anyway. This is the first CoD4 storyline movie i've seen, and i liked it. Keep it up!
This reminds me of Combat Arms, another FPS like CoD4 but its free to play. Find over 100 Free to play MMOs at www.mmohub.org
A COD4 VID!!!!! :D
I loved it, well done!!
It was either learning Russian or speaking Welsh...we obviously went with (b)
So, the Welsh are terrorists now? What has this world come to?
Sweet balls of Bungie that waas excellent!
lol
Lol, welsh people have the greatest accent ever derek, how dare you ;)
i liked this one Moviemak3rz completly uniq and good :D
Backwards talking?That was Welsh lol
I can only criticize the story because I have no idea what the hell Delta 1 or Delta 2 (a.k.a. Mumbles 1 and 2) are saying. If they could be understood, like I said earlier in the review, then it would be more compelling to watch. I'm not talking about compelling in terms of dialogue (it could already be there). Just make the voices sound at least AUDIBLE. So far, both characters sound like their heads are stuck in their Darth Vader helmets. Also, the backwards talking seems a bit out of place when the characters are Arabic (or they could be XBL players; I don't know). But that's a minor complaint, since nothing can be understood, anyways.
It was due out in May but I never got around to it.I started this from scratch from the 21st of August,and finished it at 4am this morning.It was done within the contest period,it was just ment to be started to be finished in May,but I completely forgot about it.
@Derek
I can understand why you'd feel upset compared to the trailer,but as I've explained on the competition wall,every episode needs a purpose,and a story to tell,while mine isn't looking like the trailer "yet" that's because it hasn't turned into companionhood yet,all we needed to establish this episode was there are 4 delta members,they recovered schematics for "the building" and just develop some very basic template characteristics.
For instance,Delta 1 seems to be very quiet and kept to himself,he thinks ahead and is more proffesional than Delta 2,he says things like "roger roger" and "affirmative" or "understood".Delta 1 is serious about his job.
Delta 2 is more casual about his job,and treats Delta 1 more as a friend,than a "coworker",he uses phrases like "just take it and let's get out of here" showing impatience and a lack of interest in getting the job done properly.
The drama is there,but because of the lack of dialogue and events unfolding (episode 1 needs to establish facts,not story imo) that is why many of the features and qualities you mentioned are not present as of this episode at the moment.
Wait for episode 2,see the more established dialogue scenes,characters coming out a bit more,then make your final decision after episode 3 or 4.
As for camera,very little could be done,due to the lack of action,you can't really make an epic 4 camera switch for someone walking down a hallway,this was one of my more challenging projects to date.
With more gunfights due in episode 3 and 4,things will pick up quick I promise.
For now though,take episode as it's ment to be taken,as a pilot episode.It doesn't aim to impress,just to inform and give a basic understanding to the viewer making him/her decide "sounds interesting,I want to know more",THEN give the viewer the eye candy :P
I use acid too; where did you get those loops? Or were they stuff from cinescore? If so then I should get that :P
if this was due out in may, it isnt allowed in the contest unless you trashed it and completely remade it.
I loved it though :)
I've gotta be completely honest with you: I'm disappointed with what happened to Companionhood. When you first showed the trailer, it seemed to have everything. Compelling fight scenes, interesting character interaction, and some of the best camera angles this side of Hollywood. But like Babylon A.D. proved, a pretty trailer doesn't always equal an excellent show.
The voices were absolutely grating and a surprising change from the ear-pleasing voice work you have done, David. Snake (a.k.a. Martyn) just seems out of place and comes off as completely amateur. Another problem comes from the actual clarity of the voices. I honestly could not understand a word of what they're saying besides "crawl", "sneak over there", and some other basics. The camera angles haven't even made the cut into Episode 1, either. They're decent, to say the least, but don't have the cinematic quality of Blood Signature Films (a.k.a. CROSSFIRE) or DigitalPh33r (yeah, I said it; sue me). This could have all been redeemed with some well-made action sequences, but even that wasn't good enough to put in. Whatever action is present is bland and tacked on at the last minute. Also, I never cared for either of the two operatives due to their lack of drive that makes characters from shows like Red vs. Blue or Deus Ex Machina memorable.
However, not everything about the show was disappointing. The video quality was excellent and the music is very pleasing to listen to, especially considering what it was made with. But these are only a few qualities of an otherwise failed attempt at drama.
Overall, this project is exactly like Haze: hyped up to be the best thing ever, but let down by its glaring flaws and lack of drive. You're gonna have to do a lot more with Episode 2 to hold my interest for long.
The buffering problem is stopping now,the video has been up there a bit longer and it's compressed properly now or whatever,I opened the page up new and I can now download it straight without buffering.
Thanks for great comments guys,hope you enjoyed the surprise :)
