:It takes longer than I thought it would... We must take it down to 4 seconds or so by showing one ONCC for each ONCV: a red Fury with red hair, a blue one with a headband, etc. Another trick would be to show characters 3 by 3 (standing in a triangle, with their backs to the invisible player). Obviously, in both cases, you'd have to use scripts with chr_set_class (and in your case that means emulating the beta or the PC build). As yet another trick, random body sizes should be ruled out. Oh, and the location is rather dull, don't you think? There's not much for a scenery except for those (very) distant cars... That's a no-no. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 03:12, 12 August 2008 (CEST) | :It takes longer than I thought it would...

::::Sorry, it took longer than expected and omega bunker and power failed. The cam ''hits'' obstacles/walls because the animated characters needed a bigger cam radius. That means no particle and lab as location again. There I tried the triangle thing (cam rotates in centre) with a more randomized order. | ::::Sorry, it took longer than expected and omega bunker and power failed.

::::1) the URL is very wrong (but I was able to find the video anyway); 2) I don't have FRAPS installed right now (did you actually buy it, BTW?), so I can't view raw FRAPS footage; 3) I have no plans to install FRAPS right now, unless I decide it's worth buying, so maybe upload a compressed version, please, thanks. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 16:43, 14 August 2008 (CEST) | ::::1) the URL is very wrong (but I was able to find the video anyway); 2) I don't have FRAPS installed right now (did you actually buy it, BTW?), so I can't view raw FRAPS footage; 3) I have no plans to install FRAPS right now, unless I decide it's worth buying, so maybe upload a compressed version, please, thanks. --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 16:43, 14 August 2008 (CEST) | ||
::::Erm, and I don't buy the "camera hitting obstacles" excuse... maybe I don't know what the animated characters are about (for all I care combat stances or taunts were already OK, but maybe you've come up with something more awesome), but there are a lot of camera parameters you can tweak (cm_height and cm_canter_unarmed, but also gs_fov_set(whatever)). As for obstacles, you can usually shoot them down ^_^ --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 16:48, 14 August 2008 (CEST) | ::::Erm, and I don't buy the "camera hitting obstacles" excuse... maybe I don't know what the animated characters are about (for all I care combat stances or taunts were already OK, but maybe you've come up with something more awesome), but there are a lot of camera parameters you can tweak (cm_height and cm_canter_unarmed, but also gs_fov_set(whatever)).

:::::'''shooting the rooms''' My player soul tells me that it would look horrible wrong in the vid. Omega has a taste of it, and there still the not fading bullet cases... The movements begin nicely but ends asymmetric. So there was more than one reason to cancel this. There are still a lot other vids that need to be done, right? I don't wanted to waste time with experimenting. | :::::'''shooting the rooms''' My player soul tells me that it would look horrible wrong in the vid.

:::::::::''Or'', (and this is easy to do) show Konoko hiding (just standing out of sight) in a room while a patrolling Striker approaches, and playing the checking-her-wrist-communicator animation as if she's activating something, then having her shift through a few female forms until arriving at a harmless one just as the Striker enters. Falling for the disguise, he ignores her (of course, behind the scenes in the script she has to be set to be on his team or neutral so this works). --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 22:07, 19 August 2008 (CEST) | :::::::::''Or'', (and this is easy to do) show Konoko hiding (just standing out of sight) in a room while a patrolling Striker approaches, and playing the checking-her-wrist-communicator animation as if she's activating something, then having her shift through a few female forms until arriving at a harmless one just as the Striker enters.

::::::::::I really like that shapeshifting idea as stealth element but that will focus the camera on the Striker and Konoko for too long. This wouldn't be our needed slideshow anymore. The idea of a single character which performs acrobatics goes into same direction. But in total you came up with enough useful (''and'' complicated) ideas. ^_^ I'll post again when I'm done with this. --[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 23:37, 19 August 2008 (CEST) | ::::::::::I really like that shapeshifting idea as stealth element but that will focus the camera on the Striker and Konoko for too long.

:::::::::::::Somehow I'm not fully convinced by vid's close cam (and last Konoko's details variate) but characters are animated there so let's give it a try. The problem will be the caption "more modding power" because characters stands in center now. --[[User:Paradox-01|Paradox-01]] 16:50, 4 September 2008 (CEST) | :::::::::::::Somehow I'm not fully convinced by vid's close cam (and last Konoko's details variate) but characters are animated there so let's give it a try.

::::::::::::::"last Konoko's details variate". I don't think it will be noticeable in the trailer. "The problem will be the caption". I can deal with that; if nothing else, I will just move the shapeshifting clip to a point after the words have disappeared. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 17:20, 4 September 2008 (CEST) | ::::::::::::::"last Konoko's details variate".
