[Cinematics] The Knights of the Round Table

[Oninuva]

The terrain sucks still. No other way to put it. Story is really bland and predictable. It maybe how it was told originally but can't you spice it up?

Actually he made it up. But yeah. The terrain is real boring.

Alright; so the terrain sucks. Sue me :thup:

Actually, there are many other ways to put it.

All you need is a few doodads in the right place (ex. shrubs in a forest, rocks on a cliff, corpses and trash in a ruined city, etc.) as well as some terrain variation.

Now that's what I call constructive criticism :thup:

Rather large-ish update to the first post. Check it out :thup:

I checked it out. It's um... well... I guess the terrain's better.

But, the ending is still stupid (no offense). They just do some generic fighting, you threw in some blood SFX, then take the lines from a movie that don't really fit in at all. I mean, do you really find it funny? It's pretty stupid.

Overall the cinematic could use a lot of work. All your talk scenes are just one zoomed out camera. Seeing as most of your cinematic is talking, you could use some more dynamic camera angles and maybe some animations too. I mean, if you're gonna make big ol' conversations might as well make them interesting.

Sorry, but I feel like I'm reading a children's picture book watching this cinematic.

On a more positive note, you're terrain is much improved. The forest was nicer (could still use some more doodads though) and that long hallway wasn't so bland (maybe less flies though). Also, the ruined city was nice. I thought it was the best part you made.

Terrain is better, but not great.. the archway-spammed place still looks bad IMO, nothing was changed about it..

"Emissius no-" then the knight talking happend twice.... o.0
At the end of that talk, it got brighter, then faded into black, then faded back in then faded out again... o.0

Also, the marble cliff when they are getting near the dark knights castle still looks wierd to me..

It total, It was much better, but still not too great.. Keep up the good work.

I'm trying to find some better doodads.

I will try to fix that, but I'm not sure that I can.

They just do some generic fighting, you threw in some blood SFX,

Well, a few things:
They've got to bleed, they are human.
It's not like they have any special powers to enhance the fight; if you could suggest something, that would be great.

Thanks :thup:

Go to wc3campaigns.com and check out the cinematics section. Watch some of those approved cinematics, check out their triggers. It'll show you how to make cooler battles, even with just two melee characters. And if you already know how to do complex GUI, you can make dash spells and knockback spells and such to make the fight cooler.

Is that some sort of joke...? Have you known anyone in the past to do something like this?

Yes... about 50% people do it... or more. lol.
I plan on doing it myself.

Well, I tend not to cater to lazy people who can't open a map.

 

[thewrongvine]

Because you are lazy. Besides, you get more views.

I don't care about views; if people can't open a map, they need some help.

 

[thewrongvine]

What if they don't have Warcraft? Why don't you care? Bad person!

If they don't have Warcraft, why are they here?

 

[Knight7770]

[thewrongvine]
