That seems weird, why won't it let you?

It's not anything i did, so i'd contact Filefront.

The link appears to be still working.

It's not bad, the quality is good, although I find that it's quite random, as you always show something involving a rogue, and also find that some scenes were pointless. As for the music I can't comment on it, as my sister is sleeping in the room beside the one I'm in right now, and so I can't turn on the volume.

I use a program called Game Cam, it's a free download, and it's quite simple. The tutorial is very short, anyone can make it work.

You can google it, for I am too lazy to get a link.

A good first effort for sure.  Scenes were randomly shot, no cohesive storyline or theme.  The song reference to the sun played out really well and wish I saw more of a marriage with the music to the video but definitely don't want to discourage you from trying more.

You can get plenty of angles with free movement if you just experiment.  In addition, if you had others to help you in your video, you could make it less first person and get better camera angles for the story line.

A few ideas:
  -quest video... without the chat box of course to illustrate how to finish a quest.  But i think that offers a good scenario. You can show the hardship, struggle, and reward of the less talked about part of PS.
  -dueling video...  build up a story between to characters prior to the actual duel, embelish the colors and effects, slow mo the action scene, and even get video from those in the duel, and from the crowd (they'd have to contribute video of course). I'd help participate as I always wanted a /videocapture function in the game.  I've seen plenty of WoW ones out there and they're awesome.
  -mystery, suspense, drama parody of some movie out there, with planeshift characters.  starwars would be perfect for alot of the geeks on here.  but could I recommend the movie se7en?  It's a great film noir, and you can easily interject comedy into it.


This sounds like a lot of work, but the finished video would be awesome.  you'd have to plan each scene obviously instead of just recording a bunch of video and pasting it to music.

Or maybe i'll just give these a try.  Could you pm the direction of software and some pointers. I'm new at this.

Yeah... don't be afraid to use a sort of silent film format.. if you were to insert a storyline, it might make it easier for the viewer to follow if they could see what was being said or what has happened in the previous scene. i don't know..

i like the video. i have nothing new to add. but keep it up and don't take any crticism as personal. as a community i think we all appreciate any form of constructive acts for PS such as videos. good luck with future videos.

p.s.- anyone see the OOC chat in the chat channel in that video?  ;)

Yea, i got alot of comments on the theme thing.

Most people thought that i should incorporate more of a theme or message in my vids, so i thought about it about a week ago and decided on one.

I have the music and part of the storyline already figured out.

The main theme is death and loss.

It will show the life of two people who are soo close not even the god's could break the bonds of friendship they created.

Eventually a chain of events occurs that seperates the two and a reign of terror is brought down upon Planeshift.

That's just the skelton and i really don't have much meat yet, still working on it.

Getting videos right now, some nice angles, and trying to see if i can get some help from others.

The next one might be very long, being as another criticism was that most people thought the video was too short.


Hopefully all will work out as planned.

My release date is hopefully within August, if all goes well.


By the way, if you all want to create videos, just refer back to the first page, i posted a comment about the programs i used.

I also remember another person posting a program they use to film.

If you have any other questions, feel free to keep them coming.

Looks good although at times it's too dark and it's hard to make out anything. I wonder if there is a movie recorder for linux like fraps :)

I tried converting it to Avi, but it made the file bigger.

So i was going to use compression, something like divx, but it made it look really bad.

I'm not a whiz when it comes to changing file types.

If you want, send me a guide on how to convert the file for you, without making it a Gig in size lol, i'll do that and upload it.

I want everyone to enjoy it, even non window users.
