Fan Service Videos and Promos

Archived PostArchived Post Member Posts: 2,264,498 Arc User
I think it would be a good idea for Cryptic to have someone make promo and fan service videos.
Something like a "Rooster Teeth" videos. It would be a good tool to promote the game and maybe get a few laughs also.

I would make such videos with a good team of voice actors, editors, and writers.

For something like this to work and making such videos? There need to be a agreement with Cryptic.
Because we would need a private server, able to mod characters to be any race, create or move objects, and so on to make a settings for an video.

Lastly we would need to do something to make moving mouths.

I am serious with this idea. It would be a big hit and most of these things do work well.
I'm willing to form a team of skilled people to make a test video. Any one is willing? PM me....

But I want Cryptic to still think about this idea.

    I'm working on one at the moment as time allows. Bling Slade - The adventures of Commander Ray Guhnz and his crew.
    Moving mouths would be great, as being able to emote without the UI up. Can this be done already?
    Working on part 2 and overhauling the vocals, hope to have it completed soon.

    That all fine... And nice work.

    But, what I image is better than what you could currently do in the game.

    Story, Plot, Action, Jokes....

    More than one person doing voice acting.

    Thank you.

    I'm just doing a little solo thing because my friends are all WoW and DDO players. I'm glad somebody finally put out a Star Trek MMO!

    May the Tribble be with you.:D

    You can do that with this tech, you just need some extra voice actors and a writer who knows the game inside and out. It will also really really help when we can start replaying episodes so we can use footage from the doomsday device and such.

    I've already seen a few good fan-made STO machinma series. Actually, there was a time when the devs had planned to do one if I'm not mistaken, because there was a video the devs made before launch that was like the beginning of an episode of Star Trek. Let me see if I can dig that up.

    Here it is, it was supposed to be the first part of a series called "The Veil of Space", but it seems that it got canceled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdqM5hM_1cw&feature=player_embedded#at=67

    It's disappointing really, that video was awesome.

    Geez. The voice acting on that is better than anything else associated with STO, either from Cryptic or players.

    Yeah, that's probably why they canceled the series, they couldn't afford quality voice acting.

    I think they just didn't had time. That's during beta they made the video.

    Also, It better to out source these videos series to a group of people who have time and can create fan stories. Cryptic can program a great scene for a story. But, they would lack some freedoms.

    Like I said before... I'm willing to make a series with others. I have the video editing equipment and I could voice act. But I need the freedom to create a scene. That would mean I need editor program and private game server. So we could create something like "Red vs Blue" or themes of game play.

    We would need a little help from Cryptic. I like to form a video team. PM me.

    The moving of the mouth is my biggest problem. I wish we can have random mouth talking when voicing characters.

    To the OP - did you know that the term fan service generally refers to gratuitous displays of nekkid Orion slave girls? Like if Age of Conan was set in the Star Trek universe.

    I used Fraps to record the game videos, Windows Movie Maker to put the pieces together and Morphvox for altering the voices.
