Hello all.
Here is part one of my mini webisode series called "The Great war" (remember the trailer from a while back?

)

This episode shows what happened when the Argon Federation tried to claim a newly discovered Xenon station.

The way this story is told is through fleet comms and yes it is only me atm lol so if anyone would like to help on some voice's I would be very grateful

Please enjoy this X3TCchannel Production

THAT was brillant. The shots where good, the music was tense in all the right places and you really should make part 2 as soon as possible.

Im sure with quality like that it wont be long before you get a lot of help if need be, out of interest do you have a set storyline?

But yer, that was good

Thanks guys

Do not write off the argon fleet just yet

I am moving house end of this week so the new episode will not be up for at least 3 weeks

HOW could you make us wait that long!!!

metalvenom · Post by **metalvenom** » Tue, 1. Dec 09, 14:45

I'm sorry

lol
It maybe sooner as the time not online I can ready the episode ready to upload as soon as I have net in my new place

I am currently writing a voice script for anyone who wishes to help out in the voice department of the videos.

there will also be a format in to which to name your wav files for easy integration into the video as there will most likely be alot of audio to put in

so the file code is what you have to name your wav files

Example: (not so seriously though

)

Carrier captain: the xenon have eaten my cake
file code CC001

Destroyer captain : you should not have made so chocolatey and creamy then
file code DC001

Carrier Captain : Dam..why am I so good at making cakes
file code CC002

Carrier Cmd : actually that wasn't the Xenon, it was me and dam it was creamy
file code CCm001

Destroyer Captain : bare all guns onto carrier cmd now FIRE!
file code DC002

so if I was to write the script in that format would that be ok to understand to name the files according to the code under the written sentence ?
this way I can just read the script and grab the appropriate file code from the pool of voice files

An extremely impressive vid

I really felt the tension on both sides and the expectations in this battle

Can't wait to see more!

I hope not! Although I'm quite against the Argon, I'm lot more opposed to the Terrans.

It'll be interesting to see whether you go for the fighter shots in the battle or all out warships. Both have advantages i suppose

metalvenom · Post by **metalvenom** » Thu, 3. Dec 09, 22:53

Fighter shots are extremely hard to get right, which is why most of my videos lack them

they tend to like to fly out of shot real quick lol

Thanks alex

steveo1259 · Post by **steveo1259** » Thu, 3. Dec 09, 22:55

out of interest, any idea what music your going to be using throughout?

metalvenom · Post by **metalvenom** » Fri, 4. Dec 09, 20:07

Interesting question

I was thinking of using various tracks but to keep youtube WMG off my back and muting my video ,I think I'll keep to the Pro-Scores music as is currently being used in Episode 1.

And that way if egosoft wanted to use them for any reason they don't have go looking to licences for the 3rd party music.

I'm also considering some music from the game to, as there are some awesome tracks to be had

so there plenty of choice without the risk of youtube crying at me lol

actually, WMG gone inactive as I see... or something changed, because many tracks which were claimed, are now uploaded again, and live.

metalvenom · Post by **metalvenom** » Fri, 4. Dec 09, 20:31

WMG does not go inactive

they simply past adverts all over your video. the current situation with WMG on youtube is a test phase to see if they make profit from track adverts that pop up.

I'm sure if they see this is not working it will end and all videos will be back to muted status.

Just not worth the risk of having to re-edit entire video's placing fitting tracks if youtube goes back to removing audio again.

which artists do WMG own or take copyright issues up with?
