MINISTRY OF TRUTH ANNOUNCEMENT


As a Ministry of Truth officer, it is my job to help with TEST propaganda.
In the past, I have helped with such things like
https://testsquadron.com/threads/gunners-motion-graphics-thread-test-propaganda.10805/
https://testsquadron.com/threads/forum-signature-requests-thread.10159/
https://testsquadron.com/threads/help-us-make-a-test-foip-music-video-we-built-this-squadron-on-alcohol.14506/

But now it is time to update and modernize things!
Search here for logo stings you want to be made for the glory of TEST.
https://elements.envato.com/video-templates/logo-stings
Paste the URLs here of what you would like to be rendered out and if any you need any reasonable modifications.

If you want any custom logos rendered please include them in your post, in high resolution if possible.
Otherwise, let me know if you want the main TEST logo or any industry divisions rendered for your choices.

Logos sting video files will be uploaded to YouTube and can be downloaded in full resolution using the free version of this program https://www.4kdownload.com/downloads

If logo sting has a transparency layer, PM me with the subject MOT request and I will send you a download link with the rendered file with an Alpha layer or separate matte file.

Once you download the 4K MP4 file from YouTube, you can use MP4 Splitter to open the MP4 and split off the video outtro/disclaimer at the end of the video which has a test tone and bars before it. This is a quick way to not have to transcode the video file so it can be immediately dropped into your timeline without any editing or quality loss. You can download MP4 Splitter from

Did, some stings and stream stuff some time ago. I stopped streaming after I lost my son, however, I am thinking of getting back into it. I am a bit rusty, but always willing to help out. Let me know what is needed and I will see what I can do.

Condolences on your loss, looking forward to seeing your content.

I can't speak for the ministry but aside from the Montoya videos, SC is sort of content barren at present having only been partially built, so anything creative and fun is a boon but with SC's spawling scope and possibilitites and there are so many potential angles to approach the game in it's almost like being a propector during the Gold Rush in terms of what content you can dig up and generate.

One potential opportunity, is from having seen coverage of Org get-togethers videos seem very factual at present, in that for the most part from what I have picked up its mostly minimal edited uploads of straight up events occurring from a player perspective, so it feels like there is an opportunity there to make some authored content with a tighter timeline/storyline report of TEST events which happen every week if you have the time to throw at it. You get to go play with the TESTies and then have the fun of taking all that footage and making a coherent video of it.

Shoot ratio in a studio is something like 1 minute of aired footage for every 3 minutes of recorded footage but stuff recorded outside of that controlled space can be like 1 minute for every 5 or even 10 minutes recorded so don't be concerned if you get 2 hours of raw footage but only get a 7 minute video out of it, that's pretty normal! :)

It's an opportunity but the unknown thing is what the viewership would be for it if you want to get it in front of the eyes of thousands... For things like the Flight Combat Training and other combat events a TEST roundup of events would likely get the participants of the events and other TESTies watching but also consider the market for Spais from other Orgs tuning in to check out how TEST would approach a contact with them and make contingency plans (some people take games way too seriously) so there could be something there for making some misinformation videos with cooperation from a group of TESTies if we wanted to be all like sneaky and nonsense about it too but there are likely and have likely been Spais at the standard events for years now anyway so why work harder, eh?

Oh, and April Fools is right round the corner, always fun and creative to think up some SC sillyness for Fools Day but worth remembering not to record the main footage too early in case a patch drops and you have to do it all over again if something central to your gag changes.

Last suggestion is have fun with your videos and the pleasure of creating them will make it effortless. Make them your video rather than trying to recreate Spielberg etc and they will shine, even if they are not viewed much - and if they are not don't get put off. The Algorythem is designed to make money for the video hosting platform so don't lose hope just because the computers don't see a commercial value in you output. If you were that much of a sellout to win the algorithm gauntlet, you'd not be considering making free video content for us to enjoy you'd be putting it on VHS and telling us to rent it from Blockbuster :)
