Hi guys. Ruipperi and ender asked me to write a litle tutorial for them, i was busy and couldn't write it, but tomorrow i have some free time so i though about this:
What do you think about write some basic tutorials for moviemakers? Basic ideas like: How to tweak graphics, how to use uv moviemod to search demos, how to use capture tool by crumbs, etc etc etc.
I though about build a "Et installer" for moviemakers, with tutorials, ET folder (because its highly recommended to use a folder for movies only), with some tools (capture, camtrace etc). The pack would be 500+ mb bigger because of HQ textures :<
Good idea? Bad? Would u be interested? Maybe its a bad idea. Got only 30 pms of feedback with around 5000 downloads :X
Give me some ideas from what you would like to see/read, etc.

tutorials just create copy cats, we don't need everything with the same sodding style we need variety - it's why I very rarely watch gaming movies these days
people focus on unimportant shit instead of things like music, flow, sync, pacing and structure
Some people is missing the basics of moviemaking. Im bored of read stupid questions everyday at my bnc.. people ask basic stuff so i though about write everything, even Question-Answers pdf.. some tricks, at vegas and after effects etc.
if they can't figure it out themself they wont make a good movie anyway
and neither will you for that matter... or to be more exact: you won't make A movie anyway
Get real.
atlest you can link the tutorial and send him away !
Good idea?
Im not the right person to talk about this since im a quality whore and i waste to much time on this instead of focus on edit etc :\
I dont do this for me.. i do this for you/everyone else.
Its a way i found to give motivation to some people to start moviemaking.
+1
Its deleted in your HQ textures.
also there are some bugs, for example on delivery and GR in bank
Check your setings
how is that related to what i wrote ?
Do you have other custom maps installed?
Does it look correct if you just remove ag0n's textures?
Good luck, though. I kind of agree with Meez. Moviemaking is a creative thing. I found it interesting that he mentioned music. So many people just take it for granted that certain music in movies is a matter of taste. I disagree. For me, I suppose since I'm a musician, the music is the most important part for me. I will always have a full soundtrack ready before I start editing, and if people take issue with the music in my movies I will never just say it's a matter of taste. I will argue until the end about how appropriate the tracks I used were.
He's right on several points though. Show me one good movie where the editor didn't decide to figure out how to do things for himself, instead of constantly pm'ing someone for the answers.
Also, I used to feel bad about ignoring PM's with silly questions...so I would answer them, but now I feel like some people just shouldn't bother wasting time making a movie. They just don't have the commitment, creativity etc to follow it through to the end. :(
I could write fucking essays on this if I didn't stop myself. The effect music has on mood and pacing is something that should influence the movie immensely. Too many people slap some random punk soundtrack while using "grungy" colour/tones (usually a preset they stole from someone else) and slow first person frags... it's just all mishmashed together with no real sense of flow, coherence or logic.
Gonna force myself to sleep.
There has been many a movie where I've watched it and acknowledged that the music used was fairly well done but wasn't really to my taste. And whilst watching the movie I had thought, /Song A/ would fit PERFECTLY here instead of their choice, which would still need to be synced obviously but would suit the scene.
For max to say that ONLY his music fits the scene and nothing else would work is completely ridiculous. It's a matter of taste, end of. Fair enough it's his movie, and in his mind, for the story he is trying to portray to the viewer he believes the music used is the best way to convey it, but it isn't some absolute truth or anything.
I just think you are both arguing different points :P
Maybe im wrong, but its my pov.
The only thing people could use ( including me ) are tutorials for megui ( new one ), becasue google gives only megui tuts or settings for dvdrips and stuff like that.
Or tips and tricks for vegas, vdub, adobe, ... would be nice
don't get me wrong , i would apreciate the stuff you do but i think you've done enough with releasing your pack and configs.
Turn all postives into negatives and vica versa and I agree completely
People will get the cfgs somehow anyway, it's about the editing (after effects, vegas, megui,..) what makes it different, making tuts for that would mean everything looking the same
By tricks and tips i mean, how to split files in vegas, how to beatsync .... but anyhow .. use a bit of google and youtube and you got it also.
The only thing I would like are megui tutorials , what does each thing with the ET movie . not with dvdrips,... .
Its still a pitty to have a nice movie with crappy compression, or great movie @ 100 MB/s f.ex
why spending time on making an installer ? whats so hard about installing second Et, moviemod and copy/paste your texturepack ( if needed ) ?
That way it's easy to just "upgrade" the sticky with new links as you (or someone else!) writes new tutorials, easier to find stuff, and a single link to give to newbs asking stupid questions.
By the way, if you watch a fragmovie and it annoys because the music sucks, editing is stupid or it's just bad then you can just turn it off :P
