Entropia Let it Rock: Destiny

This competition has been very exciting! :yay:

We have enjoyed watching all the great videos out there and we wish the video makers all the best. This was not easy work! It takes lots of passion and heart to create a 4 minute video and you all have shown it!

It is now our turn to release our video and we hope that you all enjoy it as much as we still do!

There are different flavors of videos out there that are very entertaining and/or informative. I tried the best I can to direct this video in a way where it would include BOTH of these factors. To put it in words, we have an action-packed video that will keep your attention from the very first second to the last! Or at the least, that's what I aimed to accomplish.

I would love to thank the following for being patient with me and helping in IGP's newest project! Thanks to:
Kathy in game name (Alan "Monk" Marcus) and her husband who made the pilots voice.
Ares "Hood" Thrace, Snapnet "Trago" Blue for giving me plenty of great ideas,
Rivelle "Riv" Rogue, Casay "Casay" Onyx, Wudi "Meiren" Tianxia, Brent "Wildman" Lansing, Lazer "Lazz" Nero, Lizzy "Faith" Oneal, Meeth "Fang" Arden, Jehuty "Cerberus" Ada, Nayuki "Mai" Shiori, and of course MindArk for being the creators of this Universe:yay:

You all were an incredible help! Thank you!



ENJOY THE VIDEO!

:handgun::mad:YOUTUBE:mad:

I wasted 8 hours trying to upload the new version to :mad:youtube:mad: just to realize it wasn't uploading anything. We have the older version up in youtube which is the one we linked here.

for some reason the Normal Quality in youtube looks quiet bad.
Please I advice you not to watch it in Normal Quality.​

NOTE: All the non-EU sound effects are royalty free. We used the sound package included in one of our softwares, which includes all types of awesome SWOOSHIE sounds. The software was legally bought, and we own the rights to use it in any video created by us.

What can I say, but I'm proud of you Bambuco! You are becoming a master editor in my eyes :) .

To all, this competition has been so much fun. I have gained a great deal of respect for all the participants because I saw, first hand, how much sweat and tears it took to create. This is NOT EASY! The irony about videos is that the simpler it appears, the more compilicated it is to create.

I now know for a fact that Bambuco and I are ready to enter the next Mayhem because compared to working 4-8 hours a day for 6 weeks it's not as challenging ;) ! Lol....

As Bambuco mentioned, our video was made with ACTION in mind. We wanted to create a video where it could be on a center stage in a convention hall in Las Vegas and attract, contain, and inspire the viewers from beginning to end, along with pumping their adrenaline!!

This is a game of action and we believe that an action-packed video is one of the best ways to represent it. 80% of the game is Hunting, Crafting, and Mining. This is the engine of the RCE. We wanted to put that in a bottle and show it to everyone!

This was exhausting to complete. All participants deserve major respect for their great videos! Good luck everyone!
 
EPIC, You Guys Bring the Fire!
 
Wow Great job Bam!!! What a sell of EU, no doubt :) Hmmm can I play it???
KNew you'd do something great!!! Rock on! :)
 
Wow Bam!!! Finally the long awaited video.. awesome dude!! :wtg:
You got a winner there! :yay: Hope you win hon!!!
 
Bravo!:yay:

We have a winner!:wtg:
 
Fantastic work! Slick boys! :D Good luck. :thumbup:

Jamhot
 
well, your and mine...both movies have the same name :laugh:
and both of them present differ things

mine is simple, easy, a little slow.
yours...is like hmm, going at the home party...knocking the doors and knowing thats its just a typical party organized by your friend...and suddenly a cool 11/10 chick is opening the dors and says: we have been waiting for you boy...come here...mmmmm

honestly like few other movies, your is like I dont know how to say in english....tons of effects kills our eyes.
bah...overkill
 
Very good! Exquisite editing skills, an action video indeed!

The concept is great, made me feel like I just installed a new game and I'm watching the intro :)

The only thing I'd like to mention is everything is going too fast (made my head spin and my eyes roll over), also blur and glow are used a bit excessively.

Cheers!
 
Nothing less than expected :thumbup: ... fantastic and brilliant as always, but on this one I would have to agree with Baxter about the blur and glow. That, along with the fast moving footage made it a challenge to appreciate the full brilliance of the content and how it was all blended together. Sorry my friends, you know I am a HUGE fan of your work, and always consider it top notch, but the amount of blurring made it too distorted for me. Is there another version?

Fantastic quality, editing, and effects! Great job! It looks like something straight out of Hollywood.

However, I agree with baxter that there is too much going on. Too much fast text, too much blur. I found the whole effect confusing and distracting.
 
Thank you all for your positive (and negative) comments!!!

[EDIT] My bad, I don't mean negative. I mean critiques. Keep em' coming! [EDIT DONE]

For those who dislike the fast pace of the video, I guess you could think of it this way, it's much harder to increase the pace than reduce it. Meaning, as Mindark stated, that they would 'adjust' the video, we wanted to show how FAST of a pace we are capable of putting together, and to reduce it would be MUCH easier.

Basically, we brought the pace up to the top, and if Mindark wants to lower it, that can be done easily.

Keep in mind, we are presenting a concept here. We are presenting an action-filled action-packed video of EU. For example, the glow, that's no big deal, it can be done in 5 minutes tops (aside from the rendering :) ). We are presenting Mindark the concept of grabbing the viewers attention simply by increasing the pace of the video, of the flow.

We want the viewer at the end of the video feeling like there is something there! That the game is special. A rush will accomplish that.

Please continue giving us your opinions and suggestions! ;)

Not "negative" my dear SnapNet ... but rather constructive Hon, because you definitely have a fan base in this community. I'll speak for myself only here and say that I absolutely love the content and the flow of it, and while I can truly appreciate your intent on packing the video full of action and movement to achieve a "rush," the combination of that and the blurring made it a challenge to really grab hold of what was going on.

My hope is ... that should MA choose this video as one of those they would like to showcase (and they should IMO), that they will make the adjustments as you mentioned and bring it more into focus so that the brilliance of the content and hard work can be more appreciated. Love the work of IGP big time, but I would be doing you a disservice if I wasn't honest with my opinion. You know I'm a huge fan, and will continue to be with anticipation of your next project. ;)

I agree. I liked this concept but I had a really hard time to see what was going on. It was like special effects deluxe overkill kamasutra super arch master or something.

Other than that I think it was awesome. :)
 
Great intro - but then: too fast/chaotic, too much blurred, making headache...

I wasnt able to get any info about EU from it - but im sure that your video editing software kicks ass :p - and thats what this movie promotes imho.

In other words - great presentation of video editing software/skills - but not EU.
 
Superb, great work guys :)
 
I was truly scared of you entering as well mate... :D

And U did... Nice features - but not "AS IN GAME".. I hope that will be looked at as well :)

Impressive skills tho :cool:

Thank you Force!

and a big THANK YOU for realizing what Bambuco and I set out to do! This is precisely that, an In Your Face promotion for the masses

We're putting you in the front seat to the action! The Entropia Universe action (we used ALL ingame footage).

We want to leave an imprint in your mind about Entropia Universe after watching this video!

Awesome

You Rock, Bam! Loved the video. As always the quality improves with every one you do. Keep em comin!:silly2:
 
Hey! :)

WOW! thanks for the wonderful replies here! Better than I thought I was going to get! :)

I knew since this is a Video competition that I was going to get some bad reviews but I'm pretty happy with the results :) plenty of people liked the video. Some even got what we were aiming for, GOOD JOB SIR FORCE! Much respect for that! :)

In my head I pictured people walking through a warehouse looking at all types of advertisements all explaining about a game in "BOOK" form with a movie playing in the background. I said to myself, they don't want to bother with that, they want to see what the next booth has to offer for their entertainment. BUT, once they see a fast paced video that would grab their attention they will stick around and see what its all about. Thats what i was aiming for.

Right after my last render I created a few DVDs and played one at my job all day. I reached a crowd of about 7 standing and staring at the video. I also had a few people come up to me and ask what Entropia was all about and how the real cash economy worked with the 10 peds to 1 dollar deal. LoL that seemed to be the most asked question. I explained to them quickly and handed them one of my DVDs and hoped that they would become new colonists :) I havent seen any of them yet.

I'm also proud that my video is so different that it caused all these critiques from ef members thanks for the feedback everyone.

This video was fun to make and Win or not! I'm proud to have it on my website for display.
