Lord Of The Rings Cinematic

I'm thinking of making a LOTR cinematic. A real burden. I really cannot do landscaping! if someone is willing and has MSN to help me then i am more than able to accept any offers.

another opinion would be weather to split up the film as a whole.

I've had a small go at making cinematics and really did quite well for a first try. i would be grateful for some feedback on this cinematic attatched to this post. it doesn't exit itself though!

hmmm, I guess this is not a part of your LotR cinematic? Cause I know LotR (and more of Tolkien's work) really well, and I can't place these characters... emote_confused

Anyway, the cinematic is good for a first try!

Here are my suggestions:
- ADD DOODADS! The snowy terrain in the beginning looks really plain! Add some trees/rocks/whatever to it to make it more 'realistic'
- When the two paladins are running to the forest, the camera is to close to them! Make the camera further away of them!
- In the same scene there is a dialoque where to unit portrait doesn't show up (look here for a possible solution (LrthSlotPaladin had the same problem!))
- Make a 'Game - End Game in Victory for Player1' trigger at the end of your cin!!!

Overall, a good cinematic for a first try! Change (some of) the things I mentioned above and it only get's better!!!

ps: My first cinematic was a LotR cinematic! You can download it here! I wanted to add more (custom music/skins), but I was just starting at cinematics and I think it came out well for my first cin!

umm.. its pretty nice.. but it seems to have the same problems like a lot of the other first time cinematic makers

1. terrain isnt too detailed.. not only should you add doodads, but you should also add more depth to it by adding textures and hills and vallys...
2. some of the dialogue isnt timed right
3. you can add more water elementals.. make it seem like the ally is very good and strong.. make the area behind the archmage full of water elems. or add diff units as well.
4. the camera was kinda awkward...

overall.. it was a pretty decent first thing... just make it longer...

Thx for the replys.

That was the first part of manywhich i will be putting onto this message board. As a sort of advertisement for my triggering skills.
As these develop i may be able to get a larger following of my work.

Slightly ambitious?

I have a problem with UMSWE 3.4 in the form of it just not starting up. a message box comes up saying:-

any similar occurances with you and does it hinder the quality of the maps???

Make sure you have the 1.05 patch, and get UMSWE 3.6.

Forum Reader

Please could you put on some addresses or links to the places where i can get a copy of the 1.05 patch(i have a copied game) and UMSWE3.6.

Thank You

You don't need to have the 1.05 patch to get UMSWE3.6 to work...! If you still want it, get it from the original Blizzard site! And then get a crack to play it!
And for UMSWE3.6; I don't know where you can download it... it used to be on www.umsmaps.com but they're closed now :(, and the download seciton of Wc3C is kinda poor right now, so I doubt they have it! But you can still give it a try!

Thanks to another post somewhere around here I found UMSWE 3.6 a few days ago...UMSWE 3.6 There I hope that helps more.

Thanks for saving us! I think I'll put it on my site, in case they decide to take their files down :bgrun:
