A Forged Alliance Forever Trailer

Postby Grim Tuesday » 18 Nov 2012, 09:58

I was thinking a week or so ago that FaF needs a legit trailer so I went ahead and made one. It isn't SpaZ quality yet but I'm definitely getting better. Share this with others and maybe we can increase the user base of this game! Comments and criticism are welcome, I think my next move is to make some sort of movie out of a Phantom game. The highly sped up bit looks a lot like tilt shift which might be fun to make.

Well, I'm impressed. I was honestly expecting a shoddy video with too-loud music, bad camera-work, and a senseless number of shots blotting out the battle scenes. Good Supreme Commander videos are devilishly hard to make. This on the other hand was great. The introductory text fits in naturally, the scenes are clean and the camera angles look amazing (FAR better than anything we actually see playing a real match =P ). Everything flows together nicely and it's easy for someone to interpret what's happening (although if I was to nitpick, the final scenes with the arty and nuke could be lengthened a bit to make them more clear). And the grand, inspiring choice of music fit the video perfectly.

Your video was an very pleasant surprise. =) Nice work.

EDIT: the music is by Two Steps from Hell! D: No wonder I like it so much!

I agree, really nice work, well done!

For next time, perhaps bring in the other factions and show some unique features of FAF (eg naval wreckage).

Thanks for posting.

the text at the end is a bit too short in my opinion but every thing else is very cool

as you may know im a fan of not-only-gameplay-trailers therefore i will spam around with this one again but just because i have nothing else to do atm xD

very well done.
total score: 8.5 out of 10 points.

i agree that the trailer could have been longer - especially the last part with exp./arty/nuke.
the text in the end was too big (especially when you watch on fullscreen) and the font was a little hard to read (e.g. the $ sign is hard to recognize). the text should be displayed as least twice as long - i think.

if you plan to do another trailer things like navel wrecks and the new shaders (especially for seraphim) should be included as unique features of faf. it would be great, if you use (almost) the entire song for the trailer otherwise it seems somehow unfinished.



@ColonelSheppard: your trailer is nice as well, yet totally different. but please correct the title "supremE commander" (you missed an "e" there).
