Another Promotion Idea!!!

[RadiantDawn]

Why don't we make a tribute video about the site. We can give some information about the site in the video aswell as telling everybody who is in the community already. Tell me if this is a good idea or not and I will start making it right away!

[gameboii]

sure why not?

[mapler90210]

i can make a clip that scans through the entire forum (not the individual threads, of course) which you can edit if you want me to.

[Bulldog]

Whatever you want to do. If it bring visitors to the site I'm all for it.

[Radian]

i guess i can make you some custom images.

[RadiantDawn]

i can make a clip that scans through the entire forum (not the individual threads, of course) which you can edit if you want me to.

Sure if you want to and then you can send me it when you are done.

And if anyone wants to help I will gladly take it. I already figured out the backround music for it. It will be the Smash Bros. Brawl theme. I will make the final adjustment to the music when I see how long this video is. Anyone can suggest ideas to the video if they want to. The first bit will be from the brawl intro when they are standing on the cliff staring out to the sunset. Instead of the brawl title coming up it will be the supersmashbc banner. Thats my vision so far and I will progress my treatment for it later on but for now this will do.

[Jonus63]

why not final destination music?

[mapler90210]

the video i mentioned is uploading to rapidshare in 4 parts with 1-minute overlaps. i'll post links when they're uploaded.

[mapler90210]

http://rapidshare.com/files/94451564/forum_pt4.wmv.html

here's part 4. parts 1,2, and 3 still need another 15 minutes to upload. let me know if there's anything else you want.

I have no idea on how to download these videos :lol: It say that I need a premium user but I have no clue on what to do with those. Instead of downloading them, is it possible that you can e-mail me them. If not then thats okay, I will figure out how to download. If you need my email its in my profile.

[RadiantDawn]

*UPDATE*

I changed the music to the final destination music in Brawl which happens to be just over 5 minutes which is great. I have to fix the opening up a bit but it should look very nice when its done. I only did the opening so far and I am just fixing it to look better.

[Bulldog]

Well, I have downloaded one but then I reached the limit for free users. Maybe you should just post this on youtube instead.

[Jonus63]

yea can use it on my account or if u have one(i think u have)

[mapler90210]

hmmm, i see......

can you guys download off of youtube? if so, i'll post them there, and hope the quality stays usable. if anyone knows a way to transfer the raw video (which is too large for anything i'm aware of), please tell me.

[mapler90210]

also, the video isn't very interesting, just 20+ minutes of editable movie to help with the idea at hand.

[RadiantDawn]

hmmm, i see......

I don't believe that we can download them off of youtube. However if you are able to send the videos to me then that would be great. I would like to use the content that you gathered for the video.

yahoo won't let me send the file, but i know how to get it to you. i should have a link to download them by the end of the day if they upload to youtube properly.

[RadiantDawn]

Okay thanks! You do that and I will get started the video. I couldn't properly start this video if it wasn't for you. If all goes to plan I should finish this video by Friday.

[mapler90210]

i just hope that what i'm doing doesn't cause the videos' quality to deteriorate. that would suck.

[smashplaya]

I could try helping you with that video too Radiantdawn. :)

[mapler90210]

alright, download links should be sent to your email withing a day, radiantdawn. let me know when you get all 4.

[RadiantDawn]

Okay I got all 4! I will be downloading those right away! Thanks a million :D

[mapler90210]

Okay I got all 4! I will be downloading those right away! Thanks a million :D
how's the quality? if anything got messed up, i can try to find something that will let me send the raw file. also, if you need something else recorded, let me know.

[RadiantDawn]

The quality is pretty good. I can barely make out the words but other than that its pretty good. I just want people to see what the boards look like and I want them to have a feel for whats going on. Other than that its pretty good. I might ask for your assistance later on. You do some pretty good recording though. What do you use to record them?

[Radian]

on that adapted banner im making for you, what exactly do oyu want? like the exact same as the one p top, but more square? or do oyu want things added?

[RadiantDawn]

on that adapted banner im making for you, what exactly do oyu want? like the exact same as the one p top, but more square? or do oyu want things added?

I want it just the way it is up top but a little more square just as you suggested it.

[Radian]

all right, but what about the lettering? should i make it heavier and asier to read?

[mapler90210]

camtasia studio 5. it's a paid program, unfortunately. i got it for free, though :D .

[Radian]

i've heard of that. i think i saw one of my friends record a movie with it and mail it to something or other.

hah, that sounds incredibly stupid, but what he did was really cool, i just cant remember it.

[mapler90210]

yeah, it's a great program. i just got it, but i'll probably be using it for my entire life.

[Jonus63]

what will the name be of the video on youtube?

[mapler90210]

what will the name be of the video on youtube?
mine or the finished product? mine is in four parts, all called "boring"

[Jonus63]

uhh the finished i think

[mapler90210]

uhh the finished i think
i don't think it's done yet.

[RadiantDawn]

The finish product will be completed by Friday. I will be able to post it on youtube on Friday and it will go up a bit later. I am not even close to being done the video due to school and all but I should be done by Friday. The video will be called Super Smash BC Promotion Video (or somethng like that). Remember that it will be up on Friday! :D

[RadiantDawn]

mapler90210- Would it be okay if I just use a little bit of the footage you captured. You have so much footage on the site and I really only needed a little bit of it. Would you like to suggest which ones to use since you've made them?

[Bulldog]

I don't mean to speak for him, but I think that is what he meant it to be for, for you to just cut out what you need of it.

[RadiantDawn]

Okay thats good. He did do a good job though. 20 minutes of going through the boards. That must have been fun to do :lol: And as for the video, its doing pretty good. However most of the video is just telling who's the site admin, the moderators, and the clan leaders. And also the site. I added the very begining of the Brawl intro to it and I think I will do something special in the end. I hope this works though.

[Bulldog]

I dont know what you have so its hard for me to make suggestions, but you could include some actual brawl footage in it as well. People always love that :)

[RadiantDawn]

I dont know what you have so its hard for me to make suggestions, but you could include some actual brawl footage in it as well. People always love that :)

Great Idea! I will put that near the end of the video. It looking pretty great but its kinda dry during the viewing of the boards part though. But I am sure that it will pull through with the rest of the video. So far it is 1 min and 48 seconds. I am now starting to introduce you, as the site administrator, and the moderators. Then I will introduce the clan leaders and something else.

[RadiantDawn]

Oh quick question smash_king. You are the founder of this site right? I know it sounds like a stupid question but I want to make sure that I get my facts staight :D

[Bulldog]

yes, I am :)

[Jonus63]

yes its his rank site admin

[Bulldog]

well, site admin doesn't necessarily mean site owner. I can promote other people to site admin if I want to.

[RadiantDawn]

Thanks for the info. Also that new moderators post that you posted not to long ago. Did everyone accept their postions. I was just wondering because I am introducing the mods in the video. Oh and by the way, the video has been delayed to be finished on Sunday. The reason being is that the I haven't been able to go on the site and get the info that I need due to the site getting fixed up and all and the other reason is that I have too much school work! And I have to leave on Friday to go and do this one thing so I can't work on it until Sunday. So if you can answer my question, that would be super!

[Radian]

lol, super? anyways, im quite sure everyone accepted except undead_machine.

it seems he hasn't as of yet, but maybe he is.

[Bulldog]

Texas StarFox hasn't either, but because of all the chaos I am giving them more time to accept.

[Samus_Master]

Texas StarFox hasn't either, but because of all the chaos I am giving them more time to accept.
Okay thanks for the info. I think that I will add them in there anyways. I think that they deserve it!

[mapler90210]

it seems a lot of people are busy recently...i myself just finished like 5 projects last minute over the course of this week.


btw, SK was right, the video i made was simply for you to have whatever you needed for the promotion video (and to have 25+minutes of boring advertisement left on youtube ^_^). i made a post explaining that while the site was down, which seems to have been erased because it wasn't saved to the database.

[Jonus63]

its dealyed to sunday? ok np

[RadiantDawn]

I got a quick question for you SK. Since the character clans are no longer, should I take them out of the video then. I want you to decide if I should take them out or not. The video is way behind production right now. I was busy all day and it won't be finished today. I will try hard to fit in sometime to finish tomorow.

[Bulldog]

I would just turn them into character fan groups and not character clans, if that isn't a problem. Or you can just remove them. And don't worry about being behind schedule. Brawl got delayed for about 15 months and we still love it :)

[Radian]

but is RadiantDawn presenting us with third party characters? immersive gameplay? the best online experiance in gaming history?

lol, just kidding. if i come over tonight, i'll help you with it.

[RadiantDawn]

Okay thanks. I have to finish my math homework first though. I was over at another friend's house playing rockband this afternoon so I couldn't do my homework.

[Jonus63]

it is monday today, any updates on the video?

[RadiantDawn]

Okay I figured out what I am going to do with the character and clan leaders now. I will just introduce the idea to people. The reason why I am doing this is because we really don't have any clans going on right now and the character fan groups will just be introduced. Then I will throw in some random brawl footage. Tell me if this idea is okay with all of you guys. Oh one questoin about the character fan groups. Will they still have the same leaders or will it just be open to whoever? Please tell me right away.

[Bulldog]

They will still have the same leaders, and the leaders will still become that characters forum mod. And yes, what you said is ok.

[RadiantDawn]

Okay thanks for letting me know that. I will get started on that hopefully tomorow.

[Jonus63]

ok so im still leader.....YAY! :D

[RadiantDawn]

Good news everybody! The video will be finished tomorow! Sorry that it is taking so long. I had no time during the week to finish due to homework and a bunch of other little projects. But it should be finished by Saturday. Then I will attempt to post it (It seems that youtube doesn't want me to post videos but I will try everything) If I can't post it I will let smashplaya upload it for me. Its really convienient becuase his chanell is called smashplaya. I will let everyone know when I am finished. Until then I will be busy finishing the video.

Oh and if anyone wants to know what I am using for the video. I am using Windows movie maker. If I had a Mac I would totally would have use IMovieHd. But Movie maker is the best I got.

what do you mean by "it seems that youtube doesn't want me to post videos"? depending what the problem is (meaning "what happens when you try to upload a video?), i may be able to help.

Well when I ever try to upload a video it doesn't work so I haveto see about what to do. If you want to you can help by posting some instructions that you do to upload a video on youtube. If I can't then I will leave it all up to you. I didn't bother posting any videos since last time so I might be able to accomplish it. But I might acquire your assistance.

[mapler90210]

i'll upload a video of the process within the hour. you can use it to compare what happens for me with what happens for you.

[mapler90210]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GVFtIVDxV8

here it is. please let me know if anything jumps out at you as being different than what happens when you try to upload a vid. the quality isn't the best, though, so it may be hard.

[smashplaya]

I think the problem might be that he has the wrong type of movie file.

[RadiantDawn]

Thankyou! I should have no problem now with that atleast I think. What was happening to me was that when it goes to the screen with the other movies you that were uploaded it says that it failed to upload and I spent like 30 minutes waiting for it to say that so I think this should work.

Smaahplaya- What file type are you using.

[smashplaya]

I use a .wmv file. do you know what your file type is?

[RadiantDawn]

You know what. I have no idea what my file type is. I'll attempt to find out what it is. I think that its avi. I am not sure though but I will get back to you on that.

Update on the video:

The video is closing in on finishing. Right now I have to add text to 35 different characters and introduce the idea of the clans. Then I will add some brawl footage. What do you guys want for the Brawl footage though. I could a match or maybe the english opening. Please put your suggestions.

maybe some clips (by that i mean small portions) from 3 or 4 matches, and a few stadium videos. i know who to ask for footage of those things if you want me to.

[RadiantDawn]

If you want to mappler then by all means you can. That would be great if you could do that for me.

[mapler90210]

If you want to mappler then by all means you can. That would be great if you could do that for me.
right, i'll get on it immediately. I don't know if the stadium players will give me permission, though, since they have a habit of posting a video and then ignoring it forever.

[RadiantDawn]

Okay that would be great and if not don't worry about it. I will probably just get it from a different source if you can't get it. Oh and I might need you to convert the file. It appears that I have the wrong file type and I really don't know how to convert the file. I will email you the video if I can't get it to work.

ok, i'll help in any way i can.

[RadiantDawn]

I just had an awesome idea. Mappler do you think that you can find videos on each character. I used to have the video with just the pictures of the characters but some footage of the characters would be more exciting. So if you could try and find me a link to where I can get that brawl footage then that will be great!

what kind of footage? cutscene or gameplay?

[RadiantDawn]

Oh well the footage I want would be character footage. You know matches with every character. The reason why I want this now is because smashplaya came over to see the video and he thought that it was really boring during the character fan clubs. So I thought instead of using pics for them, I could use videos. If you can get this footage that would be great. If not I will attempt to get it somehow. Other than that the video is almost done.

[mapler90210]

well, i'm facing the exact problems i expected to face: no one will reply to my requests for permission. hmmm, can anyone here read the text at this url?

http://www.nicovideo.jp/

if so, there are plenty of videos there. i just don't know what i'm doing since i can't read japaneese (i think that's what it is).

also, do you think you can send me what you have so far? i think it might be a little easier to know what you might want if i can see it. of course, if you want it to be a surprise, i'm fine with that.

[RadiantDawn]

Sure I will send you what I got done so far. The only problem I have with it is that the character fan club seems kinda long and boring. You can do whatever you want with the video. Also with those character fan clubs, just imagine that there is text on the picture saying this is the (whatever character) this clan's leader is(enter leader's name). Thats pretty much my vision. I will email you the video right away.

i'll start throwing out ideas as soon as i get the video. i may know a way to make it a little better without using actual videos, but i think if i get permission, the best thing may be their SSE intros.

of course i could have. you would just have to wait for the next installment: Super Smash Brothers Fight before it was finished. let me put it this way: I work faster when it's possible for me to let others down.

can u write in japanese? cuz i found something i have no idea if it will help u but i think it will if not just tell me and i will find another site

http://infohost.nmt.edu/~armiller/japanese/japanese.htm

[mapler90210]

did radiantdawn leave with radiantace? i hope not.

[smashplaya]

no, he didn't, hes still here. lol. i wonder if anyone will miss me if i leave, i doubt it lol.

[mapler90210]

no, he didn't, hes still here. lol. i wonder if anyone will miss me if i leave, i doubt it lol.
we'd all miss you. it's just a question of noticing if you were gone.

[Ultie]

japanese is my 2nd language, i use nico video a lot. what u want on it anyway?

[mapler90210]

japanese is my 2nd language, i use nico video a lot. what u want on it anyway?
just gameplay videos. i suppose anything would do, but stadium, brawl, and special brawl would probably be best. Also, send them to both me and radiantdawn, if you don't mind. I'm gonna work on this a bit since radiantdawn hasn't seemed to be able to, recently.

[RadiantDawn]

Do you want to take control of this project mappler? The entire video got deleted and now I have to start over (like it really made a difference). My video was to long and boring. So if you don't mind I will let you have this project.

ouch......alright, i'll give it a whirl.

[Jonus63]

aww now i have to wait a little bit more.

[Romeo]

Yea I'm interested to see the outcome of this video too.

[SuperJerry05]

Should be a nice promoting video when its done... cant wait to see it.

[80P]

a video huh? sounds good lol

[RadiantDawn]

Well I am sorry about not making the video. And I have no idea how mappler is doing with his video. So I might make a video about the site. It is going to have little detail about it though. I am going to attempt to make a flashy video with brawl footage and some good music. (The song will be his world. Don't worry its the good version unlike that crappy Crush40 version) So I might be able too make this video. I will post back here to see if I am able to make it.

it's going alright. time isn't a thing that i can find very easily, unfortunately, since i'm in the middle of the most important set of tests that i'll ever have in middle school, but once i have some more time it should be a lot easier. i don't know when it'll be done, though.

p.s.: my name is mapler.

[Bulldog]

I appreciate the effort you 2 are putting into this, but I want to make sure you know that you do not have to do this. It is a good idea but we will be ok without it. I don't want you to stress about it or anything.

[Romeo]

Yea I wouldn't put a video before you're education or anything. Do it in your freetime if you want but the site is still in it's early stages, it won't make too much of a difference if you do it tomorrow or 6 months from now.

[Arbiduck]

I *May* be able to to a version of the brawl intro. as it shows the character i could show our usernames below them. Just post what character you want to be under.


I have dibs on ike.

[Romeo]

You can throw Romeo with Captain Falcon

[smashplaya]

Throw mine under Link. I'll be making a video with RadiantDawn too.

[Arbiduck]

Okay. will do.

and another thing. does anyone. ANYONE know how to record things properly on there tv for something like a Machinima?

if they do, i could orginize a sccript....*wink*

it works best with a capture card.

also, thanks for being so understanding, guys. i won't abandon this project, but it might move somewhat slowly since school is supposedly going to "get really hard. in fact, some of you may even cry. actually, you won't. anyone who cries will come for a lunch detention. and yes, that means during lunch *stares at a kid who always goes to lunch detentions after lunch.*" so please don't be afraid to give me a reminder every once in a while. just never ask about how far along it is. whenever someone does that when i'm working on a project, my motivation randomly dies and i end up scrapping it.

sounds like a cool project, you can throw 80P under Falco!

you could add a tabuu scene in there and list my name with it :D

[Arbiduck]

i'll try to add tabuu for sure.



BtW totaly unrelated but i think Kansas's song carry on my wayward son is good (I had to say it!)

[mapler90210]

oh, your unrelated comment gave me an idea, lol. perhaps everyone can choose a small exert from one of their favorite songs for you to put in at their part (unless you were planning on having the brawl theme song. i don't really remember what you said about it, lol.) you could always just do both, one with the brawl theme, the other with song exerpts.

p.s., i call marth.

great idea mapler. ..i think i'm just going to make a different thread for this though.

I would like the song clips idea too, it would give everyone their own little custom touch.
