Raise your hand if you thought of some great improvements for your entry but already deleted your project files...

*raises*

That sucks. There are alot of minor tweaks that I would like to do to mine but Premier keeps chrashing on me for some reason. But the final thing is close enaugh to what I'm going for so I'm not gonna bother

[Burdokva]

Good luck to all! I know there are better entries than mine, but it'll be interesting to see exactly who gets the first and second place.



By the way, making a good trailer is... wow! I certainly have a deeper respect for the BioWare marketing folks, who were constantly being bothered for more trailers before ME2's release. I barely managed to free 60GB from my already cramped HDD, and I'm not willing to relive that again...

[siesses]

Aw god, to be honest i've done trailers a long time now and i notice this contest like an hour ago!

Poor me i guess, still i will post my trailer here when it's done anyhow for everybody to watch!


EDIT: Follow up question. How do you use the RAD Video tool to get the best quality out of the videos?

EDIT TWO: I found it, no worries.

EDIT THREE: To me, the only file with sound is this one "ME_EAsig_720p_v2_raw". When i watch them with rad video tools, do they get the sound when i've converted?

I know they qualify

Make sure you PM Polite. He said he won't take submissions through the thread.

Also, I think every trailer used the "If this is a war, I'll need an army... or a really good team" line XD Who could resist?

And Polite, does my trailer even qualify? At the end of mine there's some lyrics but it's just "infinity" and "where do we go from here". Would kind of suck if something at the very end of my vid got me disqualified, but I honestly just wanted to share my work. I love doing these projects.. so much that I had around 250GB of footage XD

He's gotten them both... am I disqualified?

[siesses]

Maybe i'm an idiot. But i can't find the sound files i want from there. How did you do it, and could someone help me perhaps?

Well if you mean the sound files from the RAD, I couldn't figure that out either so I just got them in game with Fraps. 

If you mean the sounds from the conversations...

For extracting voice files. Very handy in that it specifies who's speaking each line, so you don't have to extract every file from the archive.

I did that and got a converter.

Well he's posted submissions that he said he already knows don't qualify. He basically said before that he'll post everything he's sent, but he'll only forward the qualifying videos to the judges so he should post your submissions. Maybe try picking just one of your videos.. he may not want two videos from one person.

Polite, may I request that when you do forward qualiftying videos to judges you note those videos that DO qualify with an asterisk? That would be great.

EDIT: Also, to those that are looking for voice tracks, remember that you can turn down the music and sound effects volumes to 0% in the menu so you can use FRAPs to get the voices without interference.. if you can get to that spot in the game of course.

I went though and played the whole game again, saving before every mission so I could go back to any spot and get more video clips if I needed them. Am I crazy? You bet lol

Oh, if I plan to do a video I do the same exact thing. I've had like 200 saves before.

When I send off the videos to the judges, like you said, I will only be sending those that qualify. Not all of the entries on the front page qualify. I post the finalists on the main page once the contest is over and I have reviewed all of the entries before passing it on to the judges. So you guys will know if you made it or didn't.

Hey Polite, I messaged you with a question I asked earlier on the thread (it was unanswered) and was wondering if you got it.

Dammit, I can't make the deadline. I had such an awesome beginning too . Hopefully we could make another contest later in the summer, where everyone pitches in a little money and have the prize something like Mass Effect Comics or something!

I wouldn't mind organizing something in the summer. Of course, it would have to be a totally different theme to keep it interesting. I'll brainstorm over it.

Yeah it was a pain in the ass for me too.

Folders Starting with

-"Procer" = Lazarus Station and Shuttle leaving it
-"Profre" = First mission and conversations after shuttle from Lazarus
Station
-"Pronor" = Beginning cutscenes up to Lazarus Station

Hope thats what you needed.

If your looking for the sound of the bink movies, there are in folders which names are 'wwise_*_cineanim' and the files are named 'cineanim_*_bink.ogg'. ( '*' can be something like 'crit_path_1' or 'end_game_1' ... )
Example: 'cineanim_endgm1_arrival_ext_part1_bink.ogg' in folder 'wwise_end_game_1_cineanim'.

The file names are mostly self explaining but sometimes you just have to listen and use your imagination. ;-)

To make it a little easier:
pro_nor = Normandy's destruction (pronor); pro_cer = Cerberus station & Normandy SR-2 intro (procer); crit_path_1 = Horizon (horcr1); crit_path_2 = Collector ship trap (shpcr); crit_path_3 = Joker's mission (crit03); end_game_i = suicide mission (endgmi), i = 1,2.
I think the bink movies are named the same way.


If you are looking for voice files.. They are organized in folders based on the location where they are spoken.
In most cases the first three letters of a folder's name are a key word for the place and often the next two letters are a hint to a squad member. If the next letter is a 'a' or 'l' the dialogue is related to the squad members acquisition or loyalty mission. 
Examples:
'citasl_interrogation_d_s_int' takes place on the Citadel (cit) and is part of Thane's (as) loyality mission (l).
'norkga_debrief_d_s_int' is the debriefing on the Normandy (nor) after Grunt's (kg) acquisition mission (a).

The key words for your squad members are:
as = Thane (assassin); cv = Jack (convict); gr = Garrus (garrus): gt = Legion (geth); kg = Grunt (grunt); lm = Jacob (leading); mw = Samara (mystic); pr = Mordin (professor); tl = Tali (tali); vx = Miranda (vixen); Zaeed (veteran); Kasumi (thief).

[Appolo90]

Does anyone know what entries don't qualify that Polite was talking about? I've been looking through each of the posted entries (and enjoying them a lot =p) but haven't found one that doesn't comply with his rules.

[goatman42]

Well people, its the end. I wish good luck to everyone.



Also question, how many judges are there? I guess it doesn't really matter, I'm just curious.

[8erserker]

Just PM'd my submission to Polite... with about 20 minutes to go before May 30 (for me anyway). Would've worked on it more if I hadn't had a 2-week vacation to the World Expo... XD

My personal vote goes to The Renegade, which is the most character-driven trailer of the list. I really get a sense of Blackveldt's Shepard.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under the impression that the deadline is by the end of Sunday (still says 1 More Day left on the title).
Anyway, last minute or not, here's my femShepard's trailer: End Game

Good luck to all of you guys.

Edit: It's in HD 720p, but YouTube is still processing, so please give it some time.

Yeah I had the same issue when I uploaded mine. I usually wait until after it gets processed before posting but I checked out your vid anyways. I like it, good to see a Femshep trailer (now I'll have to make one too lol).

[Appolo90]

I'm trying to figure out how my video is in 1080p when I encoded it in 1080i. It should just say 720p. Silly YouTube.



And good luck all.

I wanted to get some sleep ASAP, so I PM Polite Assasin and posted it here; but, and there's always a but, with so much coffee that I had all night can't close my eyes now...
Glad that you liked it, thanks. I think I'll give it another go

Edit (last one and I go to sleep...): The video is finally transcoded on YouTube \\o/
