Stare in awe at the fascinating machinations of the TNM team during the last two years of production, this was our private forum.

We needs one. Ideas?

My new computer should be fully configured tonight or tomorrow, so I can take care of all the frapsing. We may want to edit a few things together, or something different, I'm not sure.

Either way, I figure it'll focus on voice acting, since we now have so much of it.

In unrelated news, we'll also have to make a concerted effort this weekend to get all the information ready to send to Jeremiah.

(The forums replace MSN when I'm at work :p )

Well we could include the Yardbomb conversation since that's the only other convo besides Nosferatu where Trestkon has been implemented, but that doesn't make a whooole lot of sense given we're probably not going to use Matt for Trestkon in the actual game.

We could do a montage of well delivered lines, including some from Scara, Abomination, Jackie, Mr. Clark, Kylie, Raving, Andreus, Yardbomb, and Wolfy. We could also simply release the two holocom convos from DXI (Buzz and Ronin), but that may be spoilery or at the very least significantly lessen the impact of discovering those holocoms in-game. Dunno if that's too big a problem.

We could also include some of the fight scenes from the intro if we just edit out the placeholder voice acting and remove the subtitles. Likewise, we could have a shot of the chopper taking off for ABI or landing at the ATC in M22, and a shot of Trestkon on the elevator into DXI.

As for non-VA, we could release a brief video demo of the quad launcher in action.

I like the montage idea. Do you have any vidoe editing software installed? I don't have any right now, expect Windows Movie Maker :p

I have Premiere and I'm reasonably proficient with it.

If you or Nick records the footage, I'll edit it together over the weekend.

Incidentally the intro movie might make a good promo

Oh it definitely would, but we need finished audio and music for it first :)

But if we don't just outright use it as our last trailer, we'll at least probably rely heavily on footage from it.

What audio do you need for the intro movie?
xkcd is awesome
Dinosaur Comics are awesome
If you don't read them, you are not awesome
