Saturday came and went in a swift fashion. The mid day was spent on the couch recovering from the days prior as I watched "Eternal Sunshine" with my roomates. The afternoon spead it up slightly with events and Thai-food in the city before returning to the ever so familiar Curse office.
As I mentioned in the entry from the press hands-on's I have a whole load of gameplay footage from both Age of Conan and Gods and Heroes to be edited and put on site. Realizing at the end of the evening that I didn't actually have much experience with editing gameplay footage, I decided to do a quick Eye of the Storm in World of Warcraft to get some "experimental footage".
Being quite nackered at the time and focusing more on getting the footage than on my actual gameplay is shown quite apparent in my handling of the combat. In retrospect I give myself a 3 of 6 in performance. The clips and transitions goes through 3 or 4 different transitions throughout the video clip and shows off a little of how these effects actually affect the viewing experience.
Lessons learned:
- Too much flashing is never impressive.
- Use digital video zoom effects more on the actual clips to create a sense of immersion.
- A better use of scenes and gameplay transitioning into a 'red line' of story telling would make the video far better.
- Fraps videos do not show up perfectly in a 1.21:1 pixel aspect ratio.
All in all, you may enjoy the result below:
