I think you can better just start on a cinematic, and see whre it ends! You dont need to have the whole map already in your head, but just start on see how it grows! (DeamonKillar once said that [DeamonKillar, please correct me if I'm wrong!] , when working on Part I and II of CotN, he too didnt know exactly what the story would be like, he jsut made what felt right at that moment. When he began working on Part III (and now IV) the plot begins to take form in his head and he now has a script for his upcoming cinematics!) Just give it some tries, it probably wont become as good as CotN or Insaniteus Cinematics, but you get experience of making it, and your next maps will be better! If that doesn't work for you, then you could just make a scene from your favorite movie, or a chapter of a book! Anyway, just give it a try and post it here! I'll look at it and tell you what I think of it (I'm not an expert at cinematics either but I think I can help you with some plot, if you tell me the basics ideas of what oyu would like!) - Nuladion |

yea... thats the thing tho... i start on a map and it lacks a plot.. so like half way through it.. i give up on it and start a new one.... i've already made like 4-6 unfinished ones.. but there basically is no plot to them.... But hey.. ill give it a try...:D |

That totally right, I didn't even know myself what the story would be when part II was over. So I drew a world map and then thought of random stuff I could add, and the biggest thing was that I didn't even know the use of the Spiritual Stones! :ggani: Just let the ideas flow |

Well at first, I thought I'd do a "creepy/horror cinematic(and it shows when looking @ part 1), but then figured out it'd be better if it was a world of fantasy. |

Do you have any idea of what you want? Give me a brief summary of ideas you have for it, and I will try to give you a plot or story that tries to fit in what you want |

Ok, here is what I do when it comes to designing a Cinematic: I write down in a txt file all of the events that I want to happen, like "dude is killed by other dude". I even list special effect ideas like "Warstomp for a shockwave" Once I have the basic idea to what the Cinematic will look like, I listen to music. You must choose your music wisely, so pick a song that REALLY suits the cinematic (one that you might even put IN the cinematic) Listen to this song several times and actually act out the scene in your mind. Doing this you can visualize what you want before you even start it. You would not beleive how much music can influence you. Daemonkiller has mentioned this as one of his influences as well. Design the action and the dialouge to fit the music. As for the basic plot, sometimes you don't need much more than "Good vs Evil because Evil did something terrible to Good". You just work on your base to expand the story. -Insaniteus- |

how do you get the music into your map? cuz some of the d/l music wont play in my maps and the songs that already in WE arent that good. and if i do find a suitable song to use along w/ my plot... how do i make it louder then the special effects? cuz the ones i put in are extremely loud... |

oh Alexian.. i umm.. sorta dont need you..lol. i got a plot already and im working on it right now.. but thx anyways. whatever i make should be out in like 3 weeks ( or just any 3 saturdays w/out any homework.. the only day that i have time off is on saturday and even then i have tons of HW.. so we'll see how it works out.) if you posted like a couple of weeks earlier i would have needed you..lol but it jsut sorta came to me like daemonkillar said.. even tho i started on 3 or 4 maps then had to delete them cuz it was jsut all wrong.. but this final one should be the one that sticks.. the plot i think should be pretty decent. I jsut hope that i came up w/ it and i didnt see it off a movie or something..my mind just to be leaving me at the age of 15 emote_sweat |

Getting custom musics in-game is easy, I can't see why so many people have trouble with this. You go into the sound editor and just hit "Import Music". If you want the file to be loud, you'll need to "Import Sound". If you want to further change the volume of your music, download Goldwave from the internet and use it. Some MP3s will mess up your map. In this case, just delete the MP3 and try another one. -Insaniteus- |

umm.. daemonkillar.. do you mind if i jsut open your maps and import the music? if you dont want me to i wont.. but i'd just like to ask your permission first.. |

Guest | at first i though Nuladion was a spammer (if you glanced at LAST POST BY: then Nuladion was 19/20 of them, but it turns out that you are a cool guy. thank you... i have idea for you : i wont private message this because i want anyone to use it Sceen 1: A TC is walking though a taruan village, on his was way to the spirt temple. about half way there he is distracted by a Gargoil flying over head... (nice shot of the garg with a high up angle up at the sky with credits going and mabey a soft song playing) he ignors it and goes in to the temple.fade out and text this: Sprit walker:Hello Van... Van Crownhoof: hello Grew... Grew:Is it me or are you senceing unwelcom spirts about these days? Van Crownhoof: i will tell you that my life is not to scence or ingnore it is to act or to not act Grew:well, anyway i have noticedquite a few of those stone birds form the old wars flying above the village, this is woreing van... those beasts have not been out in the day scence befor the Exile- Van Crownhoof (interupting): WHAT? You sit here and talk of the exile wile we Warriors have real problems? Who Do You Think You ARE?! grew: I will tell you Van Crownhoof, I am Grew Spirtgift and the spirts are warning you to stay away from Those Of The Stone (possible title) only harm will come from them... Van Crownhoof:leave me Grew:yes, cheiftain... I am sorry for troubling you... FADE IN SLOW: to see van exiting the temple, as the camera pans from front veiw of him to 3rd person van wispers:no... this can not be... NO!!! as the village comsin to veiw you can see it burrning and gards and greyer mountain gaints attacking the village killing small taruan and pillaging houses he goes Bloolust and kills like the first 5 he meets.. soon he finds him self goverd in blood and sweat form the battel... he klls all of the stone guys and cries because no one but him lived.... fade out and start Bring Me To life by evinessence fade in to see him from a "high a top the mountian veiw" coverd in snow and all alone... have an ethereal Grew appear next to him... and turn corrpereal and talk to Van SO they go on trying to find masters who can teach Grew how to use his master trining move (that one that brings back taruan) it wuold be cool to make battles and the snow maountains anyway i made a litle map in paint here it is.... (low quality ) open it and use the magnifiing glass to look at it... sry the file was to big to upload at normal size |

Here's an idear i dunno if it's good but i will post it anyway :) A man is walking in the forest of Grua'koi, and he sees some "****ed up" ( cursed ) trees and he goes over to look at them and as he's standing there some monsters or cursed wolfs or something comes upbehind him and stabs him with a cursed dagger or something and one week later the whole forest is cursed and the curse is spreding...the curse is destroying any living thing in it's way ! The man in the begining can become a evil guy or just a guy that is starting the story or he can become the cure for the curse ( he has some antidote in he's blood ) and the good guys need him to save the lands of Grua'koi but i dunno :) if u wanna use it just give me credits for the storys begning ;) ( every one is allowed to use my story ) sorry if my spelling is ****ed up emote_confused but i'm just a little boy :P |

hehehe, no I'm not a spammer but I just post much at this forum cause I like the WC3 cinematics A LOT! I'm not so good at playing Wc3 but I played every damn mission just to watch every cinematic! They're great!!! and now I finally know how to make them myself. I check this forum about 2-3 times per day (call me sick if you want8) ). I just want to see other people's cinematics / ideas and post my own stuff! But back to your post: I like your little story so I'm making a cinematic out of it :ggani: It would be ready by now but I can't test it cause Wc3 likes to crash every time I run a map (not only this map; EVERY MAP :() So I'll post it as soon as I've fixed it! -- Nulaidon -- |
