Mustang Beta Commercial - Ship Porn Edition

[SullyQuindarius]

I think it turned out pretty solid. Maybe I'll win something for once, who knows.

And I know, guys. The Aurora scene is heresy! But it's for the cinematic-ness of the grand scheme of things. So it's a pardonable heresy.

how pretty!

 

[f_monster]

Sweet!!!

 

[Radegast74]

Nice! Looks great to me!

I always wonder how people get this stuff done in-game, without anybody else shooting them down....

Good job!

I would add a disclaimer at the end though; No Aruroras were harmed during the making of this film. You know... People for the Ethical Treatment of Auroras (PETA) are just waiting for cases like this...

That one Aurora scene took us almost two hours to shoot. No griefing, just straight up bugs, glitches, and CTDs.

We did run into a well-crewed Hammerhead. I stopped by to take a closer look. And then it opened up on a nearby Connie and I ran for my life.

But it'd be a lie. Many Auroras were harmed to get that shot. At least five of them.

Noice!

Got my vote!

Looks at TESTquisition Chart

Mildly Heretical.

Also I'm pretty sure I heard a discord message noise in there near the end.

 

[Hybus]

it was great, but same, I noticed a discord ping in it, might want to edit that out.

 

[maynard]

what's with all the whooshing noises?

everyone knows sound doesn't travel in space

It says video not available.

Yep. I killed the OG video thanks to Wolfy and Durandal pointing out a Discord ping during a flyby. Just reuploaded it, fixing the link now.

Thanks would love to watch it lol i just hope it doesnt ping my work servers somehow and they start seeing some dirty video of ships doing their business.

Great commercial only thing that i feel could be done a bit better was the lettering at the end maybe more of a 3d colored font or something? What was your framerate btw it was so clean.

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of it either :/ Couldn't find any nice 3D ones that looked similar to the C.O. font though.

@DirectorGunner do you have any suggestions that may help?

@DirectorGunner do you have any suggestions that may help?

Like in my opinion of the video?

Most of the visuals are stunning and compelling.

What I would suggest:
Create a narrative to keep the audience engaged. Can do via voice over or something compelling like that.
Do you really need the scene with the aurora exploding? Is it necessary? Does it make sense? (IMO my answer is no to all of those, however, the last part of the shot is really appealing)
Ending is jarring compared to the rest of the piece.. the CNOU logo isn't very clean and the VO doesn't fit the mood.

Other than that.. you got a solid shot at top 3!

But... I would REALLY create a story / narrative .. something... to go with all those beautiful visuals and nice natural transitions.
... what comes to mind is a story like they did for this promo CIG did

And to compete with Hasgaha and his team... add some motion graphics that complement the narrative.. maybe when talking about what the ship has.


EDIT:
BTW.. .we need your help to record footage for this using FOIP
