As some of you may know. TGN(the Vision Creator) Challenged me to make a cinematic better than his. And well...so i have started it. I have about 6 screenshots that i took, so far this movie is about 1 minute long. It is going to go farther. So here is a screenie of Kent'el Charging for the battle that will be coming...

looks good but with the ancesteral guardian make it attached to chest instead of origin since it is partialy under ground.

And use some of you spells like illusion, in the map cus it looks great.

Looks nice so far, just remember that you are going to have alot of trouble beating 'The Vision' technical aspects. I would suggest you go for plot and clever sue of SFX, also try to keep it as short as you can. With cinematics its about quality, not quantity.

Allright, heres another.

That is just a fire move that he does. I think i ought the first best part of it...heh, it gets better. Ne whu, so how wwuld i put a polt in this? Its only gunna be like 2 1/2 minutes. I alredy got the ending. Bwaha! And another thing, vurrently there is no talking or senteces or letters at all. Should there be? BTW i one last screenie. Once i get another reply ill post it. Its also one of my favorites.

To be honest the camera isn't looking too spectacular, close ups and mid shots are great for cinematic spells, maybe hwen the ring of fire appears you could do something cool like having the camera following the ring of fire as it forms....

ok heres a couple tips for beating him. Use hundreds of close-up camera angles. From the screenies you dont have any of them. Make the cameras swirl around and add to the drama of the whole fight. Use lots of sound and awesome electronic music. Its all going to be in the cinematography, not the spell effects. Anyways, i m looking forward to this. :D
