Hello everyone I've noticed a lot of Cinematic makers have emerged since a couple of months and more projects are being created, but too much are forgotten or left apart because of a possible lack of interest. So I decided to make this thread in order to make things clear and to promote your work. This is not a discussion thread so please do not reply here if it's not about your project. It's going to be a list of all current projects being "hosted" in the cinematics forums. Here's how your submission should look: -Title -Author(Team?) -Website -Type: Humour, Drama, Epic... you name it -Single map or Numerous maps/parts -A substantial description of the story/events (at least 300 words please) -Anything innovative you think it will bring -completion Percentage(update this one as it goes) Thank you for keeping your Cinematic informations up to date. |

Title: "The Tale of Archon" Team: Iron_Ian, Tearsong is terraining one map, skins/models by me, request, or if they are already out there. Website: http://ttoa.wc3campaigns.com Forums: http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/f...s=&forumid=265 Type: Epic/Drama/Fantasy/Suspense - A mix Many parts (not sure how many yet) Story: In far northern Shok'kar is a large mountain city called Shinengua. It was a rainy miserable day in Shinengua, constant downpour, and lightning storms. Aways outside of town lived a Druid called Alpheus. Alpheus made monthly trips to a sanctuary high up in the mountains to meditate. He was going on one of this trips on these trips that day. Alpheus rode his horse up through the winding mountain paths, until he came to a small dirt path leading up to his meditation santuary. He dismounted his horse and ascended the path, as he came over the top of the peak, he immediatly knew something was wrong. He heard distant shouting, what sounded like brutal war cries. Alpheus looked straight ahead, and shivered at what he saw... He ran quickly down the path, jumped onto his horse and sped off towards Shinengua. He was going as fast as he could, and came flying through the gates of the city. He headed towards Castle Shinengua, and near slammed into the castle courtyard gates. "I must see Lord Morren immediatly!" Alpheus stated. "I'm sorry old man, but no one can see Lord Morren today." "I have urgent news." "I said before no one can see Lord Morren today. Now begone!" He pointed his sword at Alpheus' chest. "Can I speak with captain Darius then?" "Erm... why should I care, hes over at the barracks!" "Oh..." Alpheus remounted his steed and headed over to the barracks behind the castle. "Darius!" He said as he jumped off of his horse. "I must warn you of..." Innovations: Completely new world with tons of locations, characters, etc... A very large amount of custom skins and models, including new terrain/doodads. New Interfaces Hours of entertainment Trailers and screenies Very atmospheric environments that will convey a certain emotion. Completion: Part 1: 35% Skins/Models: 35% |

Title: Cult of the Damned Team: Zurg, creator. I will comission people to do things for the cinematic so there is no permanent team. Nul and Iron_Ian are the official insiders/testers. Challis has composed a music theme for me. Mech-Warrior is a web hoster and tester. Website: N/A Type: Drama Parts: there will be a total of five parts each will have its own map. Description: Cult of the Damned has a very simple storyline and just a couple characters so the description will be brief. Almost all of the story takes place inside the city of Atraymath, an important city in the north of Lordaeron. Atraymath is the center of the religion of the Holy Light. The time period is before the Undead emerge as a danger in Lordaeron when Kel-Thuzad is gathering the poor of Lordaeron to his insidious new cult. The three characters in CotD are Kel-Thuzad, Father Andrew, and Stephen. Stephen is the protagonist of this story which tells of his struggles as he converts to the cult. Thats pretty much all of the description. This will be the first drama in warcraft cinematics. I am hoping that it will bring a welcome change from the many action/adventure cinematics. Another thing that will be orriginall in CotD is that there will be no battles or fighting at all. I will be relying on my stoyline and developement of characters. Innovations: All other innovations will be kept underwraps or mentioned in my thread. I am now based over at revolutions, for more news and info go here: http://mech.coldsteeldesigns.com |

Title: Project Kaldorei Authors: Ilyaelencala, XX-Daemon-XX, Sheep-Head Website: No official Type: Action, Adventure, slight drama Numerous parts. Events (Background story): Before a god is a god, a god must find a planet to control. Elune, the Night Elf goddess, thought that Azeroth would be a planet that she could control. But at the same time, another god by the name Belgrathe found Azeroth. He also fancied the planet. There was a huge fuss about whichever Elune or Belgrathe would claim ownership of Azeroth. The resolved that they should go to the Pantheon, and let them decide who would control the planet. But the Pantheon wasn't very intrested in minding other god's bussiness, so they simply said: "Clash your races in a war. The victorious will claim the planet, and the failing must go and find another planet." and so Elune and Belgrathe clashed in a war with their races over Azeroth. It's the war of the gods. Innoative stuff: Well, first off, I'm darn proud of the music arsenal I've got. I've got heaps of different themes perfect for every situation. This means that no stealing will be necissary. Secondly, I've been wondering about showing battles in their heat, then pausing, giving the audience a chance to understand what's it is all about. I'm also gonna try to use black'n'white screenshots as fade filters, to give it a more "story-telling" style. Percentage: The Intro (A darn crappy intro) is technically done. Now we are just fixing up the last bugs. But what could take time is that we are still modifying the main character, so we aren't completly done on that part. Otherwise, I guess that the Intro will be released sometime this week. 93% |

This is just my little idea for my cinematic. Tell me what you think. -Title: Argos -Author: Me -Website: None -Type: Mixed -Single map or Numerous maps/parts: There will be more than one part (No doubt). -A substantial description of the story/events: -- I changed the story some, but I will update this thread sooner or later with the intro. EDIT: I've been revising my maps/story. Expect an announcment sooner or later. (NOTE: The first scene will conduise you... probably) -Anything innovative you think it will bring: --Unique story (Completely original and cool, and also has a cool title :D) --VERY good terraining (Better than ever with the new tree's(Probably the best terain you'll see)) --A well done cinematic (Turning out well) --High quality music (Expect very dramatic stuff/great action) -completion Percentage: It's on hold for now... Fire in San Diego wiped out my house, but I will get back my WC3 soon! I'm completely re-doing my story now, going to be much better. |

Title: Heart Of Evil Author: me - VooDooO :gsmile: Type: Ummm... Not sure. Adventure/Action, I think. But it's gonna be rather tragic, so I think it's a bit Drama too. Website: don't have one yet. Description: Don't want to tell you much about the upcoming story, go and watch part1 first. Well, alright. An expedition led by Prince Frederick sails to El'Andra Island in search of a legendary treasure. The ship crashes and Frederick finds himself alone on the island. He thinks that he is the only survivor, but soon he finds others and together they continue their quest. Frederick suffers from strange visions, in which he sees a demonic creature. Something is wrong with El'Anra Island, something evil is waiting for it's turn, and that evil touches Frederick in a strange way... The cinematic will have 3 episodes, I think. The first one is based on DK's terrain. Probably, the second one wil too. Innovative: Well, again, go and watch HoE part1. It has exciting music, a lot of special effects, new skins and stuff. In the upcoming parts I plan to add some innovative stuff, but I'm not gonna tell you about it right now. Among all, I plan to make a really epic battle scene that will be made in such a style that never was done before on wc3 engine. Completion percentage: part1 is 100% done, but I'm gonna remake it. The second one is about 0.5% :gsmile: |

I've been out of the WC3 modding community for a while, but since TFT was released I have been very interested in cinematics and mapping, so here is my first Cinematic. Title: Gunsmith - Lorthias Author: Me (Dave "Keujo") Website: None Type: Action # of Maps: 1 for now Description: This is the introduction of Lorthias, a rifleman. He is from a long line of respected Gunsmiths and has designed the first multifunction sniper rifle. He is sent in to aid Diligent, a powerful warrior, who is at the mercy of an unseen menace while battling the Undead in the frozen Highlands. Innovation: No innovation, just learning. Completion: Terrain, music, and storyboard are complete. Just gotta put it all together. About 35% complete. |

Title: Creatures of the Terrible Ovine Night. (COTTON) Author: Me and Nuladion (possibly more) Website: The COTTON thread in the CotN Offical forum :ggani: Type: Humor Number of Maps: However many CotN maps there will be. Description. A while back Das had this idea to make a complete parody of Creatures of the Night. We have a story line up to Part II's battle scean. I must say that it is very funny. Innovation: Its random and insane! But I spose its the only offical CotN Parody out there! Completion: Part 1 Cinematics: prolly around 20%. I got a link to the thread in my sig. |

Title: Legacy of the Forgotten Author: FrostBite Type:Epic/Adventure, and even some drama mixed in Number of parts: at least 5 Descrip: The Nation of Anthalon has fallen to the trolls. The four races that were once joined together, have now been split apart. They have become small and feeble, and only one city still remains with the old alliance. The trolls however, soon fell, because they could not rule a nation due to their savageness, the only way they could ever stay united, is if they had someone to hate. A new unity, between races that seemed even less civilized than the trolls, crushed all order the trolls had, sending them fleeing to the moutains from whence they came. Now, a group of forgotten heroes, the council of elders, have once again been resurrected. This time, however, they have no one to protect. The strange cult that brought them back, dissapeared as soon as the ritual was complete. Everyone has shunned them, and they must now seek somewhere that they can be without being hated. Innovating: -The storyline is going to have vast twists and things like that. -Unlike most of the other major cinematics, when something great fell in the first part, there was no hope to end, in this there was little good left in the world -The story will be told through the eyes of one character, all of his descisions will change the way the parts are viewed |
