OFP Movie

[Mr_Shady]

I find that straight-to-avi screen capture's handy as it lets you vid edit them straight off. I can film a shot in OFP, then chuck it straight into adobe premiere pretty much. So far I've got fifty seconds of footage for the official RSF squad promo video  ;D

Look out Spielberg!

i'm sure it is if you can get a program that won't lag your computer back to the stoneage. what program are you using.

i think ppl would like to see the movie ingame... and when you do that, you should divide the film up in chapters and make a mission (intro) of each chapter, linking them together in a campaign... that way, when you press espape by accident, you won't have to watch 10 min movie you already saw...

there are missions put in, it's basically every time there's a chance to fire your weapon, your there

Sooo, basically you are talking about making a mission, with lots of cutscenes, right?

Anyway, there is no way I'd watch more than about 10-15 minutes of an OFP movie, unless it was DAMN creative, well-acted and well-done. We have all seen cutscenes, intros and outros, and unless you work VERY hard at making something completely unlike what we have all seen a million times, it would just get old after about ten minutes. I have yet to see a cutscene in OFP that didn't get tiresome about halfway through.

However, if you got VERY creative with things like music, cutrsc, fades, zooms, sound and anything else at your disposal, I would watch it for longer than 10 mins.

Well, if you do it like a movie proper (like Kooky is planning for his RSF bit) it will be fun to watch, and will probably keep you interested for more than 10-15 minutes.

The way we're doing it (I'm helping out) is that we use FRAPS to grab the picture off the screen, and put this into Adobe Premiere and edit it together like real footage. This allows us to make proper edits and also apply effects, title overlays and such.

Rest assured it will be kick-ass

i know how it works. and even though our ofpec staff, can you please not use this topic to advertise your own work

Look, I'm just trying to help out. What if someone comes along thinking "I want to make a movie in OFP", they spot this thread and read it.

They will either make one completely in-game using only camscripting, or they might want to bring it out of OFP for editing in a proper application, and then they'll know how to do it.

If I wanted to just advertise our stuff, you would notice it. I'm just bringing forth the information about how we go about doing our stuff, that's all.

Phantom, have you ever wondered why it's always the threads you're posting in that go out of hand? You're not telling anyone how to behave in our forums, especially considering the behaviour you have been showing so far.

Provoking people and then reporting them seems to be your style, right? If I'd be you I'd work on my own behaviour before pointing on others.

Apart from that I can't find a mission idea in this thread. How to make a movie surely has nothig to do with OFP editing and we also never allowed blatant advertising like this in the forums.

So (before the thread flares up even further): Topic locked.
