Footage for trailer needed (and screenshots)

King Arthur needs you! :)

As you may know we are making an official beta trailer. We dont have much time for it (2 weeks max) and we need lots of little footage for it. If you have recording software and a place to upload a high quality video file then please help us.

Set the game to 1280x960 resolution and record.

Here is the list of shots required:

35. Epic shot. 2 Second.

36. Final tracking shot showing environment, sunken ships, burning buildings, lots of craters and damage (end of map shot).

EDIT:
I just realized we need new screenshots too. So this might be easier if you can't record. You can take screenshots with F4. For best results use them with F6 on.

 

Crap, had seen this topic when it was posted but completely forgot about it. A lot of this doesn't seem possible to do in a normal game, testers could probably group up to do it?

 

I've been thinking, wouldn't it also be good to have this in the public forum? I'm pretty sure there'd be some more people there that'd be willing to record and give you footage even without anything in return. I wouldn't mind lookinig through it for quality control, if it's too much for you to bother looking through.

I'd record some footage myself, but my max screen resolution is 1366x768.

 

Unfortunately it does have to be that resolution afaik.
Can be staged if it doesn't look shit. Would prefer unstaged immensely.

I wouldn't mind it being moved to public forum. There'll be a lot of chopping anyway, the trailer's got to be pretty short. @MM I assume you dont mind?

 

Yeah it can be staged but better live of course.

What might be better staged is:
15. time-lapse of building - cause we can record a building of a gigantic (useless) castle
16.

 

Thread moved.

@ Moderators - please keep this thread as clean as possible.

 

Fyi: if people want to help with this then they'll need to get a mooooooove on as we're rapidly approaching the time when it'll be needed!

 

Turn function lock on or provide more info than "doesn't work" pls and thank you Chris.

Contrary, @MM is the only one who can answer that, afaik it's a concern of the guy he's working with on the trailer and not wanting blurry upscales.

Sound isn't 100% necessary but would be good to have. I think there'll be soundtrack over it but it helps to have the in-game noises there.

 

I'm really not sure either, I'll look into it later today but it shouldn't really have any effect on whether the button press is picked up.

 

Sounds won't be used, so they don't have to be recorded.

I'll check the F4 issue.

 

Do you want the videos to have or not ingame GUI?
Some close-ups are more clear without it, I used it to make some kind of rythm at my fan-made vid.

@SpideY : pm me if you haven't already recorded anything with a group of knights,
we can all gather at a specific server and the one with no pc issues records it.

@MM : any shot or video of modded textures?

 

No modded textures unless it's specifically example footage of mod. The rest has to be 100% vanilla.

Without HUD is good for editing later, I'm not sure if it should be for all though, @MM?

 

Preferably without HUD but if you get footage with HUD it's not a big problem because we can zoom in to get rid of it.
