universal advertising (Part II)

continuing with a prior topic... http://www.theuniversal.net/forum/viewt ... sc&start=0

although its no dancing drellis...I have created my own TU trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXFgIDYPq9k

made up of a bunch of my in-game screenshots as well as some video clips I stole from an older game trailer (I think ghostdog created it)...set to the old intro jingle...

If you like it and want me to upload a higher quality version I will...the current 2.5MB one is a bit dark and pixelated...(have 10 and 27MB ones availible)

It's nice work fhko, great job

Could you upload the other versions to youtube?

fhko · Post by **fhko** » Sat Apr 07, 2007 10:16 pm

I can if you want me to...(as stated above)...youtube apparently allows up to a 100MB video clip...

10MB version:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31bXJ0ow6jU

Please post your any critiques, suggestions or your own media that might be editted into it...I want to continue to improve this as a sort of informal project while I'm currently off of school...

Okay...critique:
-That jingle is nice for 5 seconds. In a trailer of 90 seconds, it gets really annoying.
-Screenshots in a trailer just doesn't look right...it's probably best to only have video clips.

aww...I love that jingle...could listen to it all day...but your probably right...will need some alternatives though...
...as far as video clips...I will need to find a program for that and/or steal some more off of old trailers...*goes off in search of old trailer contest post*...

...with use of a trial recording program I managed to assemble several videos of the game...unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good intermediate between file size and video quality (with file sizes as big as 209MB for a few seconds of half decent footage)...any help would be appreciated...

...after filtering through most of my overly pixelated crud I came up with just under 10 minutes of video...so I went ahead and posted it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CZY1rAm0lk...there is no sound but if anyone wants any of it now or in future they are welcome...

...If you want video of something not included let me know and I might be able to fix something up...I plan to get more in the following days...

The second edition of video clips has been posted...this edition seems to be generally higher quality footage than the first...I think increasing the brightness really helps...also lowering the frame rate to the single digits greatly reduces file size with only a slight jumpiness...as with all my videos higher resolution versions are available by request...

nice vid. maybe putting a song in (like the theme for requiem for a dream) to portray the feeling of Ariya more.

I know you've all been really anxious about it (or not

)...here is yet another soundless set of TU video clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpMp3-h9DT4

This edition is only about five minutes (instead of the usual ten) but still 10 megs...includes footage of the world editor, bDat editor, and model conveter along with the usual stuff, which consists partly of a few minutes of Ultrakricket...my thanks to Red and Xorgen for their participation...(due to some error of my client some of the kricket models were not downloading and are therefore invisable)

nice vids.

don't worry about the invisibility thing. if anybody asks we'll just say they were testing a cloaking device thats not yet publicly available

fhko · Post by **fhko** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 9:47 pm

What could this post be about you wonder...that's right...its yet another video clips collection...

This edition includes Iridis, Bongtrek, The official website, and the real meaning of a 'split' personality.

Tired of my soundless random videos...me too...

Your in luck...I happen to have spliced together my second version of a TU trailer...

...but what's that you say?...my first version was accompanied by a repetitive soundtrack...have no fear!...this is no longer the case...

luckily the best quality version windows movie maker could create (19MB) is within the range I could conceivably upload...so it might be worth it to play it fullscreen...

(Yes...I realized I spelled 'enviroment' wrong)
Any other comments or critiques are welcome...

neatness in a bucket, good job

It's certainly getting more cinematic.

You might want to spell the name of the dev team correctly, though. Monkeys, not monkies.

Rather than "visit us at..." it'd praps be nice to point out a) it's free, and b) you can download it from the website. "Visit us" also sounds a bit official.

If you look close enough at the video of the website you can see that it says the registration and download is free (rather quickly)...and chances are if they took the time to watch the entire thing they'll have enough time to visit the website on their own...

That looks really nice, but maybe you should make the text a little more interesting.. The blue TNR text doesn't go with the Warping colors from the stardrive... Other then that, great video

add more search tags to the clips,try like multiplayer, massive, fun, free, monkey, tractor, racings, fighting, fishing, flying, space, and maybe other game names that way when they search for a game like halo or something, they will find the clips and get interested,
