ya, Onty or briggs or someone can you make a intro with a hl2dmU theme of some kind with the links to the site and thanks to WT or something. Make it 15-20 seconds. I think this would be good to have posted or just hidin in the background, and have anyone that wants to put the work into making a community video out. We can review it see if we want the name on it and then give them the intro/outro this would save the moive maker time and would let them either just get the video out or spend more time on effects. The more video's out the better.

if you are more specific on what are you think about as for the intro I can definitely give it a try, my question is, how would Tg use it? if I compress it later the quality won't be the same =/

well I like watching different intros in every video. Gives a touch of originality if the person does it right.
I do agree a nice intro of, 5 secs maybe, with the U logo, some slogan and the link would be pretty sweet, specially now that videos are getting uploaded on sourceradio.com

0nti

2008-08-30 01:24:33

yeah between 30 and 1 minute for an intro is nice, more is too long IMO.
And a plug would be really nice to promote the U ! Maybe it's the right time to choose a slongan guys :]

No choosing my slongan please. :lol:

WT if that is FOR REAL how you want it, I'll start working on it :P

Walking Target

2008-08-30 02:58:57

lol no that's fine Onti, we need a real one, I was jk. :mrgreen:

I was just messing around coz the spelling is slogan btw, not slongan. :P

0nti

2008-08-30 03:02:31

oh lol, I know it is slogan, dunno why I added an n in the middle rofl. Thanks for the correction anyway :P
and, dunno that one seemed a pretty funny one haha, but yeah we need a real one ;P
Would you like the image to be something all fancy, or very simple and clean like the page (white background, logo with link and slogan, nothing else) ?

Walking Target

2008-08-30 03:42:57

Dunno really. Maybe simple in design like the site, but some special effect like a light flashing over it or something.

SND

2008-08-30 03:51:47

I tho the slogan was "learn the game at hl2dmu"

Walking Target

2008-08-30 07:00:45

No we don't have an official slogan, that is just a bind we have used before.

i like teh intro style that Gatman had in unleashed...obviously you cant copy it but it was quite professional and wasn't over the top either

I would like to put my after effects skills to the test. All I need is a large image of the uni logo with out the shadow. Then I can move it around in 3D space and start adding effects.

try this, just did it before going to school.

K well did a quick 10 sec intro clip for hl2dm university. I had to remake the logo because the one on the website is too small and just look like scrap when i scaled it up. I tried my best to keep it to the style we have currently for the site and hope u like it. If it too long then u can always when in Sony Vegas shrink it. Im open to any other changes to it. Ohh and its uncompressed so it will be big file hopefully not too big..... 20mins later..... Damn completed it bigger than i through well i have put it to settings that don't lose quality for editing purposes. Ill make a compress version as well.

k well ill up load the uncompressed version when i have time but in the mean while here the compressed version. Its 1mb and the uncompressed it 98mb so take me a long time to upload with my connection. I have not added any sound don't have any sound effects that i can use really.

n1 m8 pls dont think im bein a smartass but wotabout all the weapons flyin outta the badge at the screen?

2008-09-05 04:32:22

mm dunno I think maybe just a steady picture would work better :/

SND

2008-09-05 05:08:02

it could of been more complicated but i tried to keep it simple as i could.

All i did was position the image layers and applied a camera and rotated the whole thing :). Think i got the message across we got allot of guns and there is so many ways to die.

Things that could be changed are colors and any slogans if u want this is really a basic intro clip really nothing special compared to others.

thatguy

2008-09-05 05:16:27

could use some sound a simple flyby.wav or something like that always works for these things

0nti

2008-09-05 06:14:34

mmm if you plan to keep that, I'd say change the U logo transition to a fade in, see how that works, and dunno I'd use a simple font like the ones on this site (verdana/tahoma/arial?) Just throwing some ideas I'd see working (IMO)

SND

2008-09-05 07:48:50

well yea don't be afraid to tell me that u think it's not very good. I really did not spend much time on it and is really a clip for the community im open to any criticism. Answer to some questions yea the text is a bit dated but most of the material is based on what i see on this site so the curly text is the one from the front page title could not find the font that was used. Ill do one remake and call final so anymore suggestions say it now.

0nti

2008-09-05 13:57:33

if you plan to keep the curly font, maybe ask for "the" font to WT? :P

ninojman

2008-09-05 14:53:40

not bad,

hmm i guess what the dods community site did was, they had people volunteer to make a short 5 minute video of frags from that weeks Cal matches, Players would sumbit frags with ticks and whoever was choosen for that week had a few people who helped every week picking frags. And they had a intro clip each person would use after there intro before the start of the frags. It would pan down on of the more popular maps dod_anzio and the up to a signature spot on the map and zoom in on the bell tower at church plaza and that was part of the logo the community site used so it fade to black and white like the logo.

Walking Target

2008-09-05 23:08:33

Shit, don't ask me the font lol. I will try to see if I recorded what I used. That title page was a rush job and was sposed to be replaced tbh. :oops:

Looks good SND, I would just ask for some kind of flashing effect when the coat of arms rests into place and for maybe a few more seconds in the final position so people can take in the address.

0nti

2008-09-06 00:51:29

nah the seconds are fine, there is no need to make the uncompressed file bigger. Anyone can delay the last part of the clip with vegas or premier if you think it's needed ^_^

SND

2008-09-07 07:30:33

K well I taken another stab at it and is pretty happy with it.

Yknow it's weird SND, I can't help but feel that the coat of arms doesnt flatten all the way out. Maybe its just me, or a visual trick caused by the darker background?

SND

2008-09-07 07:40:07

yea i think your right just had a peep at the camera position it looking at it at a angle :oops:

np easily fixed :wink:

sry for taken so long. Been distracted for a few days. well here the finished version. ill get the uncompressed upload 2morrow with added sounds.

HL2DM University intro clip
Intro clip compressed (watchable version)
Intro clip uncompressed (editable version)

Image
I added the full large logo if u want to great your own intro. Had to make it my self since the one on the site is too small for video editing.

Pretty close there SND, just that the nade and 2 x lambda symbols are actually light grey and not pure white, much like the forum has two tones of grey.

I like that alot (seeing how there's no way in hell I could do that). There's a 99% change of that appearing in my video

Yup, very nice SND. Good job.

So... Quick question..

Who would be making the video? Also when does someone want demos for it since I'm going to be recording a bit tonight.

0nti

2008-09-18 05:35:18

rofl, all this was already said ... That_guy is making it. afaik, this is his first video, however, he has seen many sourceradio videos from different games and tried to learn from them, plus I provided him with some cool plug ins ^_^
I trust that he will be able to make something pretty cool :D
