THis was gonna be the cinematic for my helms deep map but after looking at the map size and what i was planing to do i ad to scrap it. I was wondering if anyone thought it would be worth it to save this or start from fresh so here it is

Dude, you have to do some terraining and add doodads. and the text was too fast.
sorry, but it doesn't look like you spent much time on that.
All they did was talk a bit and move a bit and you could see the borders and it was basically all happening on dirt only

hate to break it to ya.. but it wasnt all that good..

1. ground needs textures
2. text went way too fast
3. units didnt even face each other when they talked..
4. there was no sky
5. make the building proportional to the actual units.. the chars standing next to the.... inn doodad, i believe... was horrible. the char was like a giant compared to it


start over man.. and make it much better then what it is now... how long did you spend on it? 30 min. ??

As Aragon cam over the hill a deep feeling of sorrow overwelmed me as I relized that you have not read LoTRemote_confused

You need to work on alot of things

It does not rain indoors
You can open gates with Destrutable Doodad triggers
You need to not overuse UMSWE hights it takes away from the game
Watch the "Pro's" cinimatics like DeamonKiller's and Insanitas' Movies
Learn to move doodads ontop of each other for Crenolations by using Ctrl and Numpad

ummm, i dont wanna be mean so dont take this the wrong way but that well... was pretty bad,1 text was too fast to read, u had ingame narration text at the same time Gandalf was talking, cant read both, u should have the characters facing eaither the camra or the person they r talking to, there were almost no doodads, it was mostly just a units walking around on dirt and speaking too fast, ur grammer wasnt very good, or what i could read before it swiched to another character, mid way the cinematic stoped for like 20 seconds, u had no sky and the bondrys, the camera went threw characters when they were running, music would make it much better, if i were u i would start over and get the facts starit, watch the pros. learn a little more, ask questions and a cinematic shoud take weeks or even months... its not sum quick thing u do for an hour, overall, it would be a good learning experientce for u, my 1st cinematic was pretty horrible just ask FatUnglyNakedGuy, thne my second wasnt that amzing, my third... well i quit on my third and now i am making a new cinematic that is gonna be great... so keep it up, and dont give up! Ur doing ok, u can make units move from region to region, u can make them talk, can do so-so, u can make camera movements, u can do it! dont give up!

Paladin are you refering to this map or the new map that or this map that im posting in this reply. Im not exactly sure. and i couldnt figure out how to turn off the weather for that specific region overlapping each other in the throne room. Also the cinematic was not gonna be 100% accurate because it wasnt an attempt to be just like the movie would have made it much much longer. and well people dont like it was just for people to get a glimpse of what actully happened.
