FA Modern Trailer Contest

AstroCrater (player) added $40 to prize pool

Yugo added 30$ in prize pool

I've made a small mod to help making cinematics, see also this post

Is there a time limit?

I been making something similar but its taken about a month on and off just collecting footage and storyboarding/script writing so far.

@derpfaf if you read the rules, you will see, until August 21

I'm interesting in participating. Link here for an example of my previous work.

I've always though a good FAF trailer could be made along the same lines of the well received This Is Eve trailer - real voices of players reacting to clutch/action packed moments. Might be hard to collect enough moments though.

Not a bad trailer!

I am a bit biased as EVE is really really complicated, but I felt like the 1-2 second glimpses of the actual menu UI just seemed to confused me. It would have been nice to have some audio or text to highlight what that is all about.

Regardless, overall it was fun to watch, but this FAF one I really think it should tell things critical to it being a more refined, improved version of FA.

@wingflier Ye its good! Hope you will make one for Supreme Commander

How do I donate to prize earnings?

I am participating. Well do my best.

I'm participating! I'll try making it insanely good.

Was there a change in heart about using this for an official trailer? There was quite a debate going on to the point where I was denied any kind of FAF official funding for this contest.

I was wondering the same.

@majorwitty pm me in discord Lenkin#0007

Should the trailer already exist I'm sure it could be nominated for this purpose. But until this is all concluded it should be treated completely unofficial.

That looks really good InitialDesu!

A piece of unsolicited advice for you and anyone else making/planning on making a trailer: if your system can't handle running the game on the highest graphics setting normally, use the highest graphics setting but slow down the game to -10, record the gameplay, and then speed it back up in post production. It will look a lot smoother and higher quality.

@archsimkat Thanks for the tip, it's been awful having to pray to the PC gods so I can make a take that doesn't stop mid-way lol.

Also @InitialDesu your trailer looks sick! I dig the dubstep vibe it has ❤
