I wonder if Reloaded would promote a well-made fan-made trailer...

I voted weird :D
Blue, look up the live action they did for APB ^-^

I've already seen it. ;)

 

I meant more along the lines of what we're doing. Before we can really do anything, though, we need to figure out one thing: spectator mode. I know Fawken uses it in some of his videos, I just don't know how.

I hope people like my idea at least. :P  Anyway, I'm just going to be working on stuff while trying to finish HWKN... I'll be checking my email time to time, so if you need to contact me, I'll probably see it.

Would love to see a promo for each of the mechs with their own unique personalities!

If it is well done, why not? And I've heard they count on the community to promote Hawken.

There is also BatPanda, in Europe. I can poke him. EDIT: done.

We've got discussions going on in our Steam group, in case some people didn't catch it.

 

So make sure to post any ideas there too

[Liederkranz]

WOW! I am blown!
Anyway. Since we are doing trailers first, I think it would be best to choose which mechs we should go with first.

There is an awesome trailer on Predator already.




We could still make our own though.

Do you think that these trailers should be educational or just a video that shows the havoc these aces can wreck? Which mechs should be up first?

 

That Predator trailer left me with my jaw dropped to the ground the first time I watched it. If similar trailers related to the other mechs can be made with that level of quality, it'd be really cool!

[batpanda]

i am available wednesday evening and sundays :) message me for spectator mode and editing :)

[JackVandal]

I like the idea of personalities for mechs. That's a cool way to introduce them, as well as to be a good subject for a trailer.

 

You realize of course for the G2 raider it has to be introduced hauling a$$ in battle-turkey mode around a corner at an A class on patrol.

i have no specs for recording or editing but im creative and would love to get in on this btw, at least as a listen in/offer my 2 cents.

If u need a professional match-moving artist for doing 2d-tracks, 3d camera solves, lens reconstruction and geometry setting, i have 6 years of experience outsourcing on Hollywood movies and the company where i work for just got a Disney/Marvel/Lucas Licence (u have to have a lotta experience and to have things set up the way they demand them to be. That means we're uber-top tier in what we do). I can reconstruct camera movement and lens parameters on any type of footage, and can set up a Maya 3d scene and give UV maps to the Animators and the Composite artists. I'm also a animator, graduated 7 years ago, i focus mainly on 2d animations, if there are riggers and modelers in the community who can prime the rig for animation i can be used.

Does moral support count as help?

[LaurenEmily]

This is some great stuff right here. Projects like these are awesome, and i am excited to see how it turns out. I wish i could contribute somehow but i guess all i can offer is moral support and my biggest approval :/

[Rainbow_Sheep]

Okay, after one shortish brainstorming/recording session, we have about 5 minutes of raw HD footage, and a bit of a better idea of what and how we're doing this.

I'll send out some more PMs to peeps tomorrow.

Nice! I guess if you handled that type of stuff, I could do the motion-graphics (i.e. title sequences/overlays/whatever) and footage adjustments (i.e. making the footage look nicer/as realistic as possible, plus some VFX). I can also do sound design, including editing out background noise, audio manipulation, sound construction and placement, and soundtracks.

What kind of music do you think would be nice for Hawken?  I think we should have it match but be slightly different.  Personally, I'd go for something like this:

 

Mixed in with a few Hawken-like tracks, I'd say it gives a real outlandish feel.  It kinda makes me feel empty and feel as if I'd taken a brief respite from a war I know won't end.  If you want there's a few more tracks on here that could give the same feeling:https://www.youtube....hSGwIyG&index=1  This guy also worked on Homeworld for a lot of the songs on there.  I dunno, that's my opinion.

Since we're making these trailers from scratch, and they have the potential to be promoted, I think we should either A) use the HAWKEN music, or B) make out own. In general (unless you want to use public domain music) it is a good idea to stay away from other music. Our last resort, I'd say, would be some public domain orchestral music. I do like this, however, and I think something along the lines of this could work out well.

Personally, I'd go with a mix of A and B.  I never did say you should use those exact tracks, I was hoping for someone to make something like it.    I also have music making programs, but I don't have any sounds or recordings in my library.  Also, I'm very rusty.  I've no idea if I could make anything like that anymore.

Cool! Anyone else on this forum make music? I guess it's time for me to make some soundtracks! :P

I've seen a few people on the old version of the forums make stuff.  But I don't think they're around or they just don't play Hawken anymore.  I sadly can't remember anyone.

They already captured the footage today. It will be made more in the line of a frag movie.U could probably help somehow with the motion graphics part

and/or the sound editing or original score.

Wait... the footage for what? As far as I know, we're still discussing what to make/how we're gonna make it in the group discussion. I was informed this was test footage that was just shot. So now I'm confused...

I'm confused as well.  I thought official recording would be Saturday.

[MaNia_C]

It's proly my mistake :)

I know it will be made more into the line of a fragmovie, but i didn't know the footage captured today was just test footage :)

Any chance I could view the test footage? Was it taken in spectator mode (and who shot it)?

[CapAllan]

Yes. You can view the test footage. Come to the TS server (Unofficial Official Hawken server at the Across the pond group) and I will give you the password and ID to the Google Drive account. 

It was taken in spectator mode by Dr_Freeze. Its a bit crude, but we know now what we can do with it.

[Rainbow_Sheep]

Just to clear things up, friday's session was just a bit of getting together, sorting out technical problems, gooffing around and some test recording of footage.

 

We should still be on for 4pm GMT Saturday and probably Sunday, check the group for more info.

 

Also BTW Allan, you could share files from the drive instead of giving out the password if you want to save time.

 

 

Also on the subject of music:

1. The HAWKEN OST is very viable for use as it is just generally awesome.
2. We can use any music that is a free download or music that is released by people who let you use the music (Monstercat, NoCopyrightSounds etc) as long as we credit the artist
3. I have a friend who does some musical stuff, so if the music from the OST is too short, I can ask him to make an extended mix of it.

Hey Rain, if we're going to make lore based shorts for Hawken later on, I think it'd be nice to use a mix of Hawken OSTs and something similar to this (as in make our own):

Hannnnnnnnn! It'll be difficult for me to be there for a long time! IRL stuffs are sometimes demanding!

 

As for music, Hawken OST is really good, but using extra musics can be fresher.

[BluetoothBoy]

If all goes well with Ashfire, I may have access to spectator mode soon. I do have a good bit of experience with composition and shooting of video shots.

As for the music, as I've said before: I can help make original tracks. We should use original track in addition to the Hawken music. I will most likely make these tracks based on the current soundtrack's feel.
