I don't know if many of you know, but we have been filming for almost a month now, and I am going to be releasing a set of new videos showcasing footage from the upcoming Movie Battles II Build 18.

Dacks just needs to approve the first video and it should be released next week. Anyway, just thought a lot of you may of wanted to know that :) . There will be about 4 videos, and at the end will all be released in HD. Here are some posters I made from screens of the video:

12-03-2006, 21:24
Oh god oh god oh god oh god, that explosion was added by me, the videos have a few special effects in them or 'extras' and loads of seperate cgi sequences, I'm actually thinking of submitting them to own-age. However Zag has seen the pic and wants me to make him an explosion that he can incorporate into the next Tantive build, so you may well be seeing it in B18. Alot of the footage is real (filmed on MBII) apart from some space sequences (max), all of the maps featured will be in B18, but because some of the maps have been removed from the beta team for more work (Kamino, Cloud City), substitutes were used, which is why you see Jango with a clone pistol because that was not filmed in MBII, even though you will be able to act-out that fight when Kamino and B18 finally arrives. Kamino is based off of SJC's version.

This is why I said it will *hopefully* get submitted next week because Dacks may decide that he will get too much hastle from a lot of you since you are known to analyze videos frame by frame and if something is in there that isn't going to be in MBII (Seperate Max animations, some blue screen work) then you'll start arguing. Really the footage has been made by two people, me (filming, effects) and a guy called Chris who has been making all of these cool seperate sequences he has been doing in Max.

12-03-2006, 23:31
man thas what i hate about game trailers even like games not just mod

they put the best + stuff not even in game

what im getting to is:

Can you release a version that has pure REAL footage without anything added no cgi sound effects etc just the frekaing mod so we see the stuff that we will actually be able to do and not some extras as you call em.


thats my poitn of view, if you dont meh ill still download but i wont really belive waht is real and what is just cgi or bs

Striker
12-03-2006, 23:32
Well, Ask me when you need me.

Chris
12-03-2006, 23:52
Why would you not want these extras? They add lots to the trailers, as the Quake 3 engine can only do so much.

If you want an example of this, there are game commercials on TV (can't remember which one... something like a Tom Clancy game..)where these super Hi-res NURBS characters dothings that are not possible by any game engine at the time. They led you on to believe that the game was all that with superior graphics.... but a look at the screnies shows otherwise.

I'd like to think that I've worked hard on a bunch of these extras, and I'm sure that it will make a better product in the end

Chris

Can you release a version that has pure REAL footage without anything added no cgi sound effects etc just the frekaing mod so we see the stuff that we will actually be able to do and not some extras as you call em.Demanding what you want to team members is a sign of disrespect. And remember, these trailers show previews of whats going to be in the next build. These trailers aren't only made for existing community members, but for newcomers. Adding extra effects to the trailers attracts them into trying out the mod.


Tokakeke']Just tell everyone the scenes that are CGI and/or not in the trailer and you should have no problems.Really isn't worth yosh's time as he has other trailers to accomplish. And you see many game trailers or movie trailers every day on television, you see special effects everywhere but you probably don't notice the 'fake' things. They're not beside you telling what's real and what's fake.

yosh
12-03-2006, 23:56
Yeah, and trailers are supposed to show only the good parts, that's what they were invented for, to get you to play the game/watch the movie. If I put a load of crap footage in do you think that is going to bring new people into the game?

Heh heh heh. In that case i'm wrong.
Even so, teh first pic is definetly from the new CC. My bet is that 4 totally new maps are released, maybe 6.

btw, is the 4th pic totally CGI?

Rusty
13-03-2006, 01:32
Here's a task for you all, see if you can work out how the reflection on the Tantive IV is connected with the first pic...
Easy, kamino is reflecting off the surface of Tantive.

What do I win? Money?

Damnit, say it's money.

Adding extra effects to the trailers attracts them into trying out the mod.And yet, having CMP maps in gameplay screenshots is disallowed cause it's not part of the mod. Like that explosion?

Is the world imploding today?

[KP] Tokakeke
13-03-2006, 01:33
if the slave I picture is not even in the mod i don't see a purpose putting it on a 'poster'. small effects like the nice explosion is fine but whole posters focusing on something that will never be?

Yes, the fourth poster's contents were done in Max (for those of you who don't know it's Autodesks animation program), and theoretically it could be done in JA or MB for that matter, it would just be rather awkward to do, as said Max Scene substitutes nicely.

The purpose of the poster is to advertise for MB, which that does. There are other adds that have stuff that isn't totaly related to the product (like the dancing iPod commercials), for one does not immedeatly know how to do thoes handstand thingies and dance like that just because they bought an iPod. People see past that and notice that it's a music player, just as normal people will see that it's a game for JA....

[KP] Tokakeke
13-03-2006, 03:31
Yes, but nobody assumes that by buying an iPod they will suddenly have the ability to dance around like an idiot in black. BaseJKAers are used to vehicles, so they are drawn in by the premise of vehicles and are blatantly lied to.

Chris
13-03-2006, 03:53
You'd think that, but Apple is being sued by a dork who says that his headphones damaged his ears, because there was no warning on the iPod that said loud volume can cause damage.... or having to write "CAUTION CONTENTS MAY BE HOT" on a HOT apple turnover. People assume stupid things. And what's to say that there won't be vehicles in B18? (I don't have a beta so I dunno)

The probability is higher that someone will assume vehicles are in MB2 from that poster than someone assuming buying an iPod will suddenly be able to dance around idiotically in silhouette.

Don't change your example.

yes thats what trailers should be and only that not some colorfull slave 1 picture..

See if this was a movie then ok yeah u know it pwn and all but tis a TRAILER A PREVIEW, see why rise hopes by putting fake stuff..

come on its fun and all but if this is a trailer that is supose to be reliable and that at least what we see is the mod and not some cgi then its cool

but if u just wana show some pwning videos with enhanced effects then dont call em trailers, unles ur releasing a movie...

PS: yes trailer show best but still the best THATS IN THE GAME, is like if les say this starwars game is being advertise that will include EP I-III and then for some dam reason we see a bunch of episode 6 just cause it makes it look cool, then your playing the people by liying to them so they download a product

now thataint straight and if this is how the ball is being played then well u just saved some badnwith cause i aint d/l fake crap... just look at the last 1 what was the point of that rancor scene at end, to rise hopes of a map with a rancor?

Substance is greater than hearsay. And there's also the view that any publicity is good publicity. If it attracts attention to the mod then more people will check it out and even though some of the advertising may be initially misleading, I doubt that anyone who plays the game for more than a day will walk away saying "I was blatantly lied to, so even though this mod has some of the most interesting gameplay I've come across, I refuse to play it QQ".

yosh
14-03-2006, 08:17
The day you start paying me for trailers is the day I won't put any of my own stuff in and limit myself to exactly what you want. I don't think any money gets passed around on this mod, everybody works voluntarily which theoretically should make it a nice little community. You're not paying a monthly fee, you should just be grateful for what you are getting, be grateful that they are still working on updates when the Jedi Academy community is slowly fading away. Be grateful that I am putting new footage into this trailer and have been working really hard for over a month now.

The MB2 Team can always kick me out if they feel I'm not doing what they want, and that isn't a sarcastic comment.

It's all fun for me, not a job. Although it's hard work and has been very stressful.

They were originally thinking of having Zappa_0 do the videos for you, maybe you would prefer having him.

eGL|Darth.Hunter
14-03-2006, 09:26
Toka, you're really overdoing it...you need to leave the creative people some creative space. Trailers of any kind usually contain certain materials that are not in the final production later on. Just think of Half-LifeČ. And there are also things in trailers that experienced players don't believe to be in the release and then - big surprise!

A trailer should raise interest and can therefore use any creative means the author can think of. I remember one of the greatest JKA movies made by Jabba. He altered the effects of bullets, rockets, etc. so much that it almost no longer looked like the real JKA. But it looked awesome and caught many players' interest (and the interest of certain magazines for that game, too).

So don't argue that much and enjoy yosh's work :P

Tokakeke']nothing, i just feel it's deceptive and hurts the mod's reputation

the same could be said about the comments you make on these boards

posters are based on advertisement, how many game posters do the same thing, have something on a poster thats not in the game, quite a few, the main aim of advertisement is to get the publics attention.

they can then come, have a look for themselves and make thier own judgement

stating it hurts the mods reputation is not really a valid comment, cause its helping draw new people to the modification

imo the posters hit thier target just fine, they look action packed, they are refrences from the movie, and its obviously star wars. I think they are well done, and i myself would love to see some wallpapers, perhaps some on a battlefield somewhere with a squad of clones facing off against some droidekas, SBD's and Battledroids? i would have that on my desktop

There is a possibilitie the saber locks are in.

The number of locks are unknown, but i've see 3 or 4 upto now.

The lame situation is also what concerns me, The Saber lock is an attack, Proj an T21 can stop T3, which means it can shoot through even if you saber lock =/

Will getting blobbed stop the anim?

Who says you can be blobbed during a lock?
And since when is a saberlock exactly the same as T3 regarding blocking?

Yees YEEES YEEEES more of the F word which will help us all for sure....
Gosh.
Constructive&Productive comments/bikering/arguing FTW.


About the posters...they are really cool, but I was really disappointed and confused when I saw that mando holding a clone Pistol.

Plus as Scorchy Pantz said about "newcomers" propably they would go like
"Omfg whats that ? Mando Fighting Obi on Kamino with a clone pistol ? Maahn thats bummer :P"
Well thats just my personal opinion, its better not to lie too much xP

Jango v Obi-wan scene is scheduled for a reshoot on MBII with the proper weapons, so those posters aren't final ;)

Hey, I want to complain about things that look cool too :rolleyes:
Christ some of you people are dumb. You say it's deceptive, but, if you know it's deceptive, then it's not deceiving you so you should just shut up and enjoy the enhanced visuals. Maybe the fact that I do 3D Animation (although I don't know how to model or animate for a game at this time) allows me to appreciate it more than the average moron, but I've never seen so much bitching over a GOOD thing. That last poster isn't wrong either. It's advertising movie battles. It shows something inspired by the movies, just as this mod is inspired by the movies, what the **** does it matter if it's not an in game shot or from this particular game at all? I say leave the CGI in, and make it better and more abundant because that makes for a better trailer. Hell, you should make a movie using CGI and clips from MB2 so it won't be looked at as a trailer. All you'd have to do is add a story line and you'd be golden, and then no one could bitch at you.

Hold on here

I think that you are in great error in saying half the people model here, (which may be true) but that is far from 3D animation. Most of these models are for game engines, and as such are not the best in poly count (otherwise FPS is sacrificed)

3D animation for film and trailers takes a lot more in the way of patience and understanding how you can get the most realistic results possible for your project in a practical ammount of time. I spent a number of days solid working on these animations, and I would highly doubt that there are a great many people who can create a space battle scene without the use of photoshop/gimp to generate some effects.

Now I'll hop down off my soap box and resume my daily activities

And actually, the half the people model here is very inaccurate. Statistics show that only 1/4 can model, and waaay fewer can do 3d animation.

Next year, I'm starting with an education for 3d animation and whole lot of other stuff that's with it!
