"Hi there!
This is my first time posting here at these forums! :)
Some background story on me:
I've always been a movie freak even since I was a kid, we rented movies almost everyday when I was younger. When the time came I got 13 and could go to the cinema instead (yeah they mistook me for 15). So movies has always been a great part of my life, and so has gaming.
When I was about 13 - 14 I wanted to become a game producer, work at the big companys like Nintendo, Sega, Squaresoft and so on, and create my own fantasy worlds and let others join them. That was all I ever thought about back then, fortunatley almost all of my friends shared my burning passion for gaming so we always hade something to talk about, both during lessons and on our breaks.
When I got about 15 - 16 (somewhere in the middle) my dreams about being a gaming producer started fading away, and a new intrest took its place, I wanted to become a movie producer. I more and more started analyzing movies that I had seen and everytime after I went to the cinema me and my friends/my girlfriend talked about the movie, if it was good, what was more or less too unrealistic and so on. And people started noticing that I looked more further than them, I saw what they didn't see, thought about what just flashed by for them and so on.
Someone told me "you should really become a movie producer".
Today I'm 17 years old and I still share my desire of becoming a movie producer.
Just a few days ago I got myself a copy of Vegas Video 4 and I have to say that it's looking very good. Altough I don't have too much knowledge yet I really enjoy the program!
Now, I don't know if any of you have played the game Counter-Strike. But that's the game I'm focusing on right now.
I want to do movies using this game, and I do not mean movies with a plot and script (that is for later projects hehe) I'm talking about shooting people when they play.
How do you do this? Well you don't need a camera, all you have to do is get the "demo" from a player. You see, when you play this game you can type in the command "record demoname" and the game will record when you play, you can later wtch in thru the game and re-experience the exact same movements and everything as when you played before.
There are even a nifty feature called HLTV. This program is installed on some servers and records EVERYTHING. Which means that after a match is done you open the HLTV demo just as a regular one, but now you can watch every player that were playing. You can see them in 1st person, 3rd person and you have the ability to "fly" around in this 3d world everywhere and set up great angles for making a movie.
This is what I want to do, a mixture of a movie showing off the worlds greatest players and at the same time have great effects and a mini-plot. A mixture of a regular movie and a gaming movie so to say. I hope you are following me here hehe.
By searching the forum I got my Slow motion problem solved! But there is still a few things that is unclear to me (very many actually since I'm new but just a few fo this project).
My current project (first one actually) is making a trailer, just like a trailer for a movie showing off at the cinema.
This is how I've planned it so far:
Starting off the screen is just black for a couple of seconds then it fades away and a blurry shot of a gate is shown (from one of the maps from the game) then it clears up a bit and starts slowly moving towards the gate. To the music here I want the effect seen in Adobe Premiere called "ghost", which makes the picture shake with a blurry effect. Like seen in some movies/games when someone is on drugs and you get to see it from his/her point of view. Once the camera reached the gate and goes thru it you see 4 players in action, but they are standing still. Like a somewhat matrix effect, it's paused. The camera continues past them and the screen flashed white and a new angle of the same scene appears, the camera goes past the players again and then flashes white once more to show the last angle of this scene, it's from behind and the camera goes straight into a wall and at this point the music gets quite loud and it's time for some effects.
This is the intro of the movie! What I am wondering right now is;
1. How do you do this "ghost" effect using Vegas Video 4 ??
2. How do you make the screen flash in black very very fast? More than one time per second. This can be used as an cool effect to some techno/trance track.
Thanks for reading this, it got quite long hehe. I'm happy to have found my way here anyway!
