Posted September 30, 200915 yr I was thinking now that we've got BR working on the Servers - it might be fun to have a bigD movie competition. BigD - Short Film Festival - 10 http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x269/noddyonnode/bigD-Drive-In-Movie-Theater.gif To celebrate the commencement of Season 6 of the bigD 10v10 ladder competition, along with the long awaited return of Battlerecorder files to BigD, we are pleased to announce our first short film festival. All you wanna be cinematographers, dust-off your directors chair, start growing your goatee, and have the beret dry cleaned - you've got some work to do if you want your share of the glory! Up for grabs is not only the Limited edition commendation award - the coveted Oliver Stone Wartime Cinematographer badge http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x269/noddyonnode/OliverStoneWartimeCinematographer.jpg but there is also the opportunity to make your mark on our community by choosing the server rotation (within reason) on Server 2 for a week! Rules are simple: Movie to be limited to approx 5 minutes One entry per participant Winners will be decided by popular community vote Entry is open to all community members Host your footage on Youtube - HD format preferred Entries close 30 December 2010 I guess at this stage - I am just seeking feedback from the community on whether there is enough interest (understanding how labour intensive creating a good video is) to get this idea off the ground. Please also add any suggestions comments Edited October 14, 201014 yr by Sapper28 http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png

September 30, 200915 yr I was thinking you were after one of my great movies staring Me and the misses but I always wanted to make one, lets see what I can do before the 30 November 2009.

September 30, 200915 yr Author if the general consensus that date is unrealistic - more than happy to change it... this is just a bit of fun - definately don't have the sheep station riding on it (Uncle Darth said I was going too far when I suggested that the servers be renamed in honour of the winner ) http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
September 30, 200915 yr (Uncle Darth said I was going too far when I suggested that the servers be renamed in honour of the winner ) not far enough imo, should be parades an such thrown in every population center bigger than 64 ppl (in honor of 64 player servers etc etc). would love to as well but have no idea where to start )o: There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.
September 30, 200915 yr Didn't vote cause i am no producer but would be keen too see a few of the productions made. http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm120/Albatross-water/AlbatrossSig3.png
September 30, 200915 yr So what, we have to download the battlerecorder of a particular match and then make a movie? Sounds fun. [sIGPIC]C:\Users\Alex\Pictures\Forum Avatars\RealityMod\SuperHind-BigD.jpg[/sIGPIC]

September 30, 200915 yr I'm up for it, though I'll just use BR files already on there http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t136/varan92/sc_ii_2.png
September 30, 200915 yr Author Those of you wondering what you do how you do it - check out BattleDirector (http://sircommunity.com/software-battledirector.html) and their community for inspiration, e.g; [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Mq7AVlbesc]YouTube - Desktop Battlefield[/ame] http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
September 30, 200915 yr Those of you wondering what you do how you do it - check out BattleDirector (http://sircommunity.com/software-battledirector.html) and their community for inspiration, e.g; Yeah i already use BattleDirector nice handy tool http://imageshack.com/a/img538/2069/C6k7ld.png
September 30, 200915 yr do we have to use files already there or can we make our own? [/url]http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/nodachi7.png
September 30, 200915 yr i liked the mixed ones photoshop use to do. With 1st person aspects mixed with BR files. Noddy´s Awesomeness = HAPPY GEK http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm127/vandal1313/Disobidience-small.jpg
September 30, 200915 yr I think it's a great idea but lack the time/creativity etc to do one myself. Where's the cheese? http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/2315/ubd4327.png
September 30, 200915 yr Can we make our own file? With actors and stuff. That'd be more exciting than just random files. Edited September 30, 200915 yr by Kohan (1stAIF) [sIGPIC]C:\Users\Alex\Pictures\Forum Avatars\RealityMod\SuperHind-BigD.jpg[/sIGPIC]
September 30, 200915 yr Few Questions about this. 1. Is there a limit to how long or short this film clip will be? 2. Will i be able to make my own BR Files to make the film more intresting? 3. Is 30th November a set date or will it be changed? http://imageshack.com/a/img538/2069/C6k7ld.png
September 30, 200915 yr Author can u not make it first person cos all the interesting brs are server1 and 2 and they dont work If you think you can make an interesting film based solely on your own first person perspective I say go for it Do we get other badges for cinematography , actor and or actress ? No - only have persmission for the awards committee for the one badge - I think I heard in a meeting they were running out of cotton to make them... Can we make our own file? With actors and stuff. That'd be more exciting than just random files. How are you going to make your own files? Host and pay for a server including the NAS to download the files or organise some mates to get on Server 3 and script your own movie? If the latter then Footage from any file on Server 3 is acceptable - so yes Can we do a collaboration with 2-3 members? See above Few Questions about this. 1. Is there a limit to how long or short this film clip will be? 2. Will i be able to make my own BR Files to make the film more intresting? 3. Is 30th November a set date or will it be changed? 1 No - a 20 hour movie marathon was what we were looking for - I've booked the month of December out in my calender just for reviewing movies . In seriousness I think I read somewhere that an approx 5 min maximum would be appreciated. 2 See my response to Tempest's question 3 if the general consensus that date is unrealistic - more than happy to change it... kthxbai Edited September 30, 200915 yr by Sapper28 http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
September 30, 200915 yr What we mean by making our own BR files is just jumping on Server 3 and acting some stuff out. Then we can download that BR file. Doesn't that make sense? [sIGPIC]C:\Users\Alex\Pictures\Forum Avatars\RealityMod\SuperHind-BigD.jpg[/sIGPIC]
September 30, 200915 yr Author Yes thanks for clarifying - the answer is Yes - any footage is acceptable... As long as it's recorded on bigD servers. Should we increase this to include local servers - just so people can get a special shot / angle if they desire using single player bots??? Edited October 1, 200915 yr by Sapper28 http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
October 1, 200915 yr i might just put my foot in this door and give it a try also where may i proceed to retrieve those files? http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss187/Chanvlan/new_kit.jpg yeah but this is the internet' date=' you have to expect the unexpected or else you'll get caught out by things you should've expected but didn't. Its exactly like knowing about the stuff you dont know about, that way you know theres stuff you dont know so when you know what you dont know you can say "ah i knew that!"[/quote']
October 1, 200915 yr Author ^^search is your friend... don't be scared to use it (http://serverstats.gamingsa.com/bf2demos/demo3/) http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/yy116/IINoddyII/aux1_zpsab5224fd.png
