Engineers Log(Story+Video) UPD 13/05/2013
« on: May 07, 2013, 10:23:00 am »
Hey everyone,
Recently picked up the game and had an idea about something potentially interesting: to record game footage and combine it with a story from the point of view of the character. So I did exactly that and it resulted in the video below.
It's not too long and nothing fancy, for the first episode I just wanted to see how it turns out. If I continue making these I think of making them more structured with some storyline that goes through videos, maybe recording them with friends for better performance, stuff like that.
But for now a pilot episode, so to speak. Please tell me if anyone's interested in something like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM2ghpJohDo (episode 1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDQ_DhZ2RKQ (episode 2)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=segknHlVOH0&feature=youtu.be (episode 3)

PS: the story has discrepancies with the game footage, because I thought it would be really boring if I just go like: I fixed the engine...I fixed a cannon then I buffed the balloon, and so on. Also, I'm not sure about my performance in game, since I'm fairly new to it and instead of reading guides I prefer to figure stuff out as I go.

PPS: I'm obviously not a voice actor, so I hope my voice doesn't bother you people too much.

Lovely work, keeps interest up with the footage, adds depth and story with the voice. A bit more practice and these could shape up t be awesome.

So, I recently flew a couple of matches with the devs and recorded some of them, so I did another episode and also have one more game that I think I'll do soon.
Here's the link:

The games came out quite short, I think this match length of up to 10 minutes is the optimal for the purpose of making them entertaining and not getting lost in my train of thoughts during the sound recording.

One thing that seem to evade me is the ability to modify posts, so that I put links to the videos in the first one. Or at least modifying the thread's name to show the date of it being updated. If anyone knows how to do this - please tell me.

If you could put a link to the second part in the original post just below the first, something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iM2ghpJohDo (episode 1)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDQ_DhZ2RKQ (episode 2)

and add UPD 10/05/2013 to the thread's header it would be just perfect.

Thanks in advance.

Timing got kinda messed up in this one, but hope it is not too horrible.
