| Academy Video.. Any Takers? | |
|
Cuthalion - Padawan  |
Well after various thoughts, trifling ideas and minor idiosyncrasies I have decided to continue my activity, quitting the JA (which was never an option) or slowing my activity proved far harder than I thought possible. But I guess that’s a good thing, I guess, Right?
Anywho, in my brief flirtation with spare time I started to think more long term about potential aids to attract more people to the Academy. As we all know this game is old, but it certainly is not dead. With modern culture being based around Youtube, it seems even Gordon Brown has realised its vast potential (what a twit that man is!), so in the same vein my idea is that someone makes a small video of demo clips, screenshots, duels, classes and alike as a form of promotional video for the Academy. Everyone can contribute by sending in clips, screenshots etc, but the first stage in this process is identifying someone who has real potential and capabilities in making a video(s). It’s doesn’t need to be that flashy, but simply entrench to the viewer that here in the Academy they can learn, play, and generally have a good time meeting a whole host of interesting and entertaining people…. And the occasional Juggernaut. So I ask, is there anyone who would be interested in taken up the mantle and making a, or perhaps several videos promoting the Academy, to the people out there who still live in proverbial darkness? If so post here, the Academy needs you!. Cuth _______________ <MaherSenatu> guh... you are just... I'll keep sure that your kind of people will never be knights... <MaherSenatu> That's my mission...

You guys should totaly make a video about me. That defiantly will make more people sign up to the JA. Before you know it, it will be 100.000 member community. Heck I can even do some of my famous one liners.

Yeh I have seen it, and I was very impressed, but the video has to also taken into account classes taught (even if people just go on the server for a few brief demos), one on one duels (which we could use some of the previous TIT tournament, I think you get the idea, just a brief overview of what goes on here at the Academy . Fullmetal also said to me there is a mod which allows you to demo from other people and points of view which might be very useful! Yea, it lets you view demos from other people's point of views as well as do some nifty camera pathing. It is very intuitive too, although there is no documentation for it since its creator is lazy XD _______________

You need a video which shows what part of TJA is more/better/diff than other clans/communities. And this is a nice challenge. |

Quote: Yeah, there's quite a bunch of really really great fragvideos - the idea was not to make a fragvideo though, but rather a promotional video. Although, depending on the content, promotional videos might probably require a little bit less effort, they nevertheless run the danger of ending up very cheesy. So far, i have yet to see a promotional video that was up to standards with your typical fragvideo in terms of quality and quantity of material. Quote: Haha, don't even get me started on avalon, great effects terrific editing but well known through out the CTF community as fake frags Staged for the purpose of the video. It is the biggest inside joke in the CTF community to see a player who was in avalon and go "Are you soandso from Avalon?!?" _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!

Cyclone on the other hand is genuine and was well received by the community. My only regret with Cyclone is by the time I was good enough to be in Whoracle (the clan cyclone highlights) Cyclone was near completion so I didn't have many shots in it at all  _______________

Quote: Cuth, would you allow the videos be used in the holocron ?
when there will be of course Of course I would. The idea is simply to promote the Academy, ultimately the end result will appear slightly cheesey, but what the video is suppose to embody is reason why the Academy is great. Whether it is classes, dueling, general atmosphere, or anything else. I just thought it was a good idea because I have used youtube myself for some videos on how to speed strafe jump (jump2 map etc) I also saw Hugo's video and thought it was good. Anyway, the main point is who would be or is capable of making a video to go on Youtube promoting the Academy, of course, clips, screenshots and demo's would come from all members. _______________ <MaherSenatu> guh... you are just...

I totally agree with Masta.
While this idea is great, we need a very good video, which might not be possible to make due to excessive time needed for making and skills that not every member of our community has. actually id say 99% of members dont have the skill and about 95% dont have the 'feel for quality'. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

It would have to be very very well written, because the vast majority of those kind of videos tend to end up -extremly- cheesy. Also, i'm not sure you realize the amount of effort and time that is required in creating something really good, even if it's merely a promotional video for somekind of place/server/clan - the huge amount of sub-standard works on youtube should easily convince you that it's not a walk in the park at all.
In either case, i think a video, albeit extremly difficult to pull off, is a fair idea. I unforutnately don't have any good demos that i could share, with sole exception of some really good matches from the red tourney / tit tourney, which admittedly saw some excellent dueling/fragging. I believe that i'm also in the possession of a demo of virtue's "special" class that was conducted for our special guest years ago, but i think that one takes place on V1 or V2, so i'm not sure if it's appropriate. _______________ Find out more about the Jedi Academy Aurochs here and more about Masta here!
