FA Modern Trailer Contest

Femboy

Here is my submission, fresh af from the oven xD

I love how it seems the submissions all had different ideas in mind, we ended up creating multiple FAF trailers that are equally sick!!!

@javi This is a top tier job. Really nice editing, from font choices to transitions, everything looks and sounds professional. A few things:

Although I love Frank Klepacki, I think if you use Hell March you'll run into contentID issues. You might want to change music juuuust in case.
The voice acting is top tier, did you get someone from Fiverr?
Please don't put your setup of advanced strategic icons so front and centre, most people don't like the way it looks. Just use the normal strategic icons for the trailer aside from when you specifically mention the advanced version.

I went and made something that would make me want to pick up the game and give it a try.

Almost all the footage was captured from ranked multiplayer games i played in.

Voice audio is from the UFN, T3, and FAF discord channels during the games.

I realise its not exactly what the brief asked for, but a little variety never hurt, maybe you can give me a wildcard entry.

Where is the effect at 1:51 from?

@femtozetta That's the blackops aeon orbital weapon.

Where do we vote on this stuff?

@Javi your video is incredibly professional, where did you get that voice actor? Although archsimkat is right, you probably shouldn't have used the Command and Conquer soundtrack...

@DerpFAF This is probably the best highlight compilation I've ever seen, you make the game seem so fun.

Love me some Drum & Bass with good music sync : )

Is this [Tournament Voting / Finale Live Stream: 21, August, 2021] still happening by the way?

I want to see some reacts but there's nothing scheduled on the official twitch channel.

@Lenkin can you help out with this? It seems a lot of people were not sure how to vote and where if they did not watch the stream?

Giebmasse

Could the voting simply be made with how many likes the youtube video gets?

There's to much problems with this kind of vote to even bother entertaining it.
Just the fact that some are hosted on channels with subscribers is enough to entirely reject this idea due to already skewed "votes".

Anachronism_

@Morax

It would be nice to have a proper vote (even if it's with something as simple as like a straw poll) that is publicly available with a FAF news entry linking to a forum post with the basic information (a simple contest description, labeled links for each trailer and a link for the voting page). That would theoretically give all the trailers more exposure/views as well.

PS: I can do the above idea if you'd like. So, if you want me to, just let me know

Morax

Yeah I am talking to Lenkin now. I see the stream was not really well advertised... oops.

We will have to come up with a voting system in the next few days and go from there.

DerpFAF

Ah, thats a shame, i kinda wanted to see the reactions in chat from the videos.

Is there a video of the stream or anything?

Terminal

@javi did you get a voice actor for your video? lmao

Femboy

@terminal Yes! Even if I could be a good VA, I don't have the setup at all to do it. Hiring VA's is amazing when it's 5$ per 150 words.
