Team Fortress 2 Trailer 2


It doesn't look easy and it isn't either, but it should be possible with a community as large as ours and a tiny bit of time.
The ideal objective would be to replicate this trailer gg2-ified both close to the original and looking somewhat good.

What we need is pretty much everything, from ideas to script writters and from modders to art people, and of course diverse volunteers ready to gather to record it if we ever get so far.

I did a bit of describing of the first scene (the engie, 0:00 to 0:44) here.

Original map: 2fort

Scene 1 (engineeer):
    - Demoman goes down stairs to intel while scout goes back up.
    - Scout runs past camera and out to battlements
    - Wrench is seen (sniper camera on engineer?)
    - Billboard shown: Class: Engineer, Task: Area Denial
    - Few seconds close up looking at engineer from the front, wrench is out
    - 4 Blue Soldiers seen from the one behind’s perspective in basement
    - Engineer places sentry in FPV, then camera switches to closeup of the sentry with engineer in background
    - Alternating views of sentry building and blue soldiers running past, looking determined
    - Sentry finishes building, engineer switches to shotgun
    - Soldiers run up stairs, holding guns completely straight
    - Engineer looks around with shotgun and sentry, birds twitcher in distance
    - Soldiers stream in from all frontal sides (seen from engie FPV), shooting random rockets and dieing immediately.
    - Then battle is seen from the side (the sentry’s side)
    - Many flying bodies of soldiers seen continue to slide past.
    - Engineer shoots last shot in soldier running above him and reloads
    - Closeup of his face
    - Scene 1 finished, time 0:44

Discussions on IRC brought several other points I'll try to summarize here.
    - Make dead body momentum work and maybe even work better than it should.
    - Make bullets much much faster than in gg2 right now, because of heavy scene and because it looks better (especially with a good muzzle flash).
    - Decrease hp/raise movement speed.
    - Constant zoom, about level of killcam, so that movement actually makes everything seem hectic.
    - We'll need a lot of animations, possibly even custom ones (sniper stab, rocketmen jumps).
    - The question of sound and music and sound effects is completely open.
and maybe a few others I forgot.


We need a lot of help from a lot of people here, atm especially writers and artists. Also anyone else having experience with this kind of thing is welcome, never made a trailer myself so yeah.
Oh, and maps. We need maps.

...a tiny bit of time.

...a tiny bit of time.

Ok I might have exaggerated there.

Point?

[Catman]

...a tiny bit of time.

Get out of here, we we're asking for input not smileys.
So anyone reading, for the close up shots, how quick could you pixel art an animation?

[21Dan]

We can do that "Engineer places sentry" in randomized..It looks much better.

[Derpduck]

Or just use the sprites, if whoever made them doesn't mind.

[Orpheon]

There are lots of animations of sentries and stuff building.

For example, just one of many.
But yeah, it's an idea.

Also, I think it was TakaRaivo who made most RM sprites.

Why isn't the IRC working

[21Dan]

Well because the scripts have to be made before everything I think I can help at that..I'll write one today cuz' I have some free time and I'll post it so you may review it..

[Orpheon]

Why isn't the IRC working

If the ganggarrison one isn't working try the normal esper chatroom, or even get a client.

[Takapajula]

Would animations be easier than making scripts and stuff?

[Orpheon]

Would animations be easier than making scripts and stuff?

Depends for what, but we'll need lots of both. Animations are preferred, as they usually look smoother.

Scene 3 (Sniper)
-Close-up on the sniper while he looks through the scope.
-Framework on the ground (maybe some "through the scope view" video editing) First aiming at blue soldier that runs out of sight ,then aiming at blue shooting heavy. A blue pyro is facing the other way (maybe he can move a little so he doesn't look like an afk).Sniper shoots heavy in the head (heavy dying animation)pyro turns around.
-Close up on pyro looking up at the sniper.
1:14 - 1:26

Should I make all of them?..Asking because I don't wanna do it all and "throw it at the trash".

hmm, i just finished this, coincidence?  Here's the picture for anyone who wants to edit

[21Dan]

-Then quick change of framework on dying red scout and soldier running towards heavy(dying animations with momentum because of running).
-Quick framework on heavy then
-Framework back on the right showing many red soldiers dying almost instantly because of Sasha's bullets, 2 or 3 rockets shot near heavy while that scene is played
-Close up on STILL shooting heavy. (damn those bullets)
-Framework going in the back right showing 1 more dying soldier
-One more close up at heavy's face while still shooting.
