Event: Save Paragon base building contest! Anyone can help!

[TimtheEnchanter]

Ok so we need some guidelines.  Where people are submiting their videos and in what format or if it will just be the raw demorecord.  Should we also push back the deadline since there seems to be more intrest?

One more event to culminate on the 20th? Unfortunately I can't be there that weekend, but it makes sense.

[Angelus Animi]

Sounds good.  Now about the video's themselves, do they need to be a finished product with the description on them or raw.

[Angelus Animi]

Sounded kinda like they wanted a finished video showcasing many bases.

[TimtheEnchanter]

I'd much prefer demofiles, no matter who does the final compilation. Sending bulky raw videos is just a burden nobody should be stuck with the task of sending, or having an ftp space big enough to hold it all.

Wish I knew more of what the original vision was. Sounds like it was meant to be both a contest, and an opportunity to show off one of CoH's unique features, almost like a proposal to potential buyers.

[Angelus Animi]

Just thinking out loud here but what about starting with shots of the zones, game play ect and how it became inspiration for the architect's within the game.  Those who built cities within cities.  Then showcase them base by base.

[Angelus Animi]

Maybe show an empty room and what it could become.
Mind you the empty and finished room would not have to be the same...

Did anyone ever run a test to see if it's possible to demo-record a base being built?

[Angelus Animi]

I can see if it works right now.

Demorecod does not capture edits in progress, it would have to be done with fraps or bandicam.

Ugh, I'm not even sure if that can be done then. Doesn't everyone get teleported back to the entrance when something gets moved?

[Angelus Animi]

Only if whatever is getting moved gets dropped on their head.  Safest way would be for the builder to be the one running the cam.

anyone feel like doing one of my base's rooms?

Do you mean build it, record it, or build it while recording it?

[Moonfyire101]

build while recordng? I'll give all access to my prestige points and you can make a new one or redesign one of my back rooms

I'm currently fighting to finish my base or I would.

[Angelus Animi]

Anymore thoughts on this?  Should it push forward?

[Mr. Wentworth]

I'm looking into the idea of at least providing a web page where people can upload demorecords of their base. This will at least give us an archive to share from and if there is to be a contest, submissions could be judged by viewing the demorecords. Now that we can freely move the camera while within a demorecord using F2, the demorecord doesn't need to be long. Just step into your base, stand at the door, do a quick demorecord for 5-10 seconds and you're done.

Even if a contest doesn't happen, I'd love to have an archive to share so we can take those base tours we missed out on because we were so busy building things ourselves. I'll set something up by early next week unless someone beats me to it. :)

You can also make a stop-motion version, starting and stopping a demo each time a piece is added or moved?

{though it would probably be better to have one person building and the other recording}

Is this over with I would like for anybody to come to my Villain base on Victory server. I had a lot of prestige to use so I went for it. If you need a pass to get in I am on most days just in game e-mail or send a tell. @Madame Shayla or @ Lady Shayla

[TimtheEnchanter]

I wish the playback of demo-recordings, or even in-game for that matter, allowed for the kind of camera control that I used here.

I'd love to be able to do features of bases like this, but alas, the mouse control is twitchy (even when I knock down the Razor sensitivity) and movement has only one speed: too fast.
