We still have a few tweaks to do, so hold off on that for now.

I think the voice over might be a little to low compared to the music. I watched it at least 3 times before I even noticed it because I had to turn the video down due to the music's volume.

Your voice is fine but there is some background noise which detracts from it. It sounds like a some feedback or something. Also it only seems to be present in the beginning.

Damn I thought I was the only one who was noticing it. Sometimes my mic emits a hum and I haven't figures out what gets rid of it. It was fine when I did Broin and Adad's. I might just re-record it now that it isn't happening.
Title: Re: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Lithium on January 08, 2011, 12:49:20 am
I'm guessing the 'hum' problem is from some sort of electro-magnetic interference probably from inside the computer effecting the sound card. Did they install a SoundBlaster card in that computer or is it just on-board?
Title: Re: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Adad on January 08, 2011, 05:33:23 am
Wait, T's mentioned the feedback and now Rag did too but I never noticed it. Are you referring to the very subtle music I have playin in the beginning with his first three lines (freedom. Such a simple concept. And how easily it's taken away)???
Title: Re: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Saint on January 08, 2011, 08:29:50 am
ok I hear it now, no its a hum, and not part of the music, I had to really pay attention to hear it though, kind of like a light saber hum... but not....
Title: Re: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Arawn on January 08, 2011, 09:40:24 am
hmm after raising the volume to the max i did notice it... but i feel like its part of the music :S im prolly wrong

No, it isn't the music. It's the background hum you can hear from my mic being crappy. That's why I asked you to take the background noise and extend it through the entire first part so that you didn't hear it cut in and out. Looks like I'll probably just need to re-record it.
Title: Re: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Ghisteslwchlohm on January 08, 2011, 01:01:17 pm
Wait, didn't we all buy you a good mic?
Title: Re: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Tbone on January 08, 2011, 01:32:21 pm
Yes, let me clarify. I have a good mic now. But sometimes it acts crappy. Like Lithium hinted, there might be some interference I'm not aware of. My guess is that if the cord gets twisted a certain way, the buzz shows up. My past few recording sessions have been flawless, though. I just re-recorded the Libertas one, so hopefully that will no longer be an issue.

Updated to the newest Libertas video. This SHOULD be the final version:

FA symbol at the beginning with the heart beat at least once or twice before the voice over starts?
You know phases in with heartbeat and then out.

So have we come up with any plan on how we want to release these videos?
Title: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Ghisteslwchlohm on January 09, 2011, 04:20:28 pm
I think the Emeritas is my favorite. The heartbeat thing is sick.
Title: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Strod on January 09, 2011, 11:54:58 pm
I think the heartbeat thing was a good idea, but it doesn't even sound like a heartbeat on my end. Am I the only one, it sounds like a faded audio glitch.
Title: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Tbone on January 10, 2011, 12:00:21 am
I have some ideas for releasing them.
Basically, once a week on Friday we release a new one. We put it in our guild recruitment thread, in our signatures, on Facebook, and in a thread we'll create in the Fan Art section. I'm still trying to figure out if we should do a separate thread for each video or keep them all on the same thread and just bump it once a week. Probably the latter. Ideas are appreciated, though.
I also want to add them to www.thefuriousangels.com, but I'll need to talk to Yotogi about that.

Just going to throw this out there as fair warning we may be heavily criticized for using the hope and deceived trailer. Now personally I think we should use them and quite frankly its one of the only medians we have access too. Its just a lot of guilds have used it so a lot of people are sick of it. We should get mad props though for our video editing, quite frankly it beats 98% percent of the stuff I have seen.

Post by: Erathaol on January 10, 2011, 06:30:22 pm
Well it's either the trailers or the Star Wars movies, and those are set so far in the future of The Old Republic that it'd be really silly and awkward.
You do have a good point that everyone else is using the same footage, but that can work in our favor too. Because we're using the same material, a greater distinction is HOW it is used can be made. They'll see how much better ours is and be impressed, rather than see "yet another guild video using the trailers." Or at least, that's my hope. I have been known to be wrong, though.
Title: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Tbone on January 10, 2011, 10:12:53 pm
I got ridiculed by you guys for trying to use actual released game footage instead of the trailers. Moral of the story: you're gonna be ridiculed by someone regardless.
Title: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Arawn on January 11, 2011, 07:06:26 am
We should keep it in the same FA Recruitment Thread... explain we have different Orders and keep posting them in a basis of 1 per peek... Fridays Release sounds good... if people get really interested they might be waiting for Friday lol... just like a manga :P...
If we go creating different threads for each video we might get flagged as spammers, yet again (as we might have been alraedy with the mass PM's)
Title: Teaser Videos for the Orders
Post by: Adad on January 11, 2011, 11:09:56 am
I agree with Arawn. I don't think they warrant their own threads either. Just add them to one thread. Plus I need info from the other masters to finish them all.

Adad, if you want to mix in some non-Star Wars soundtrack stuff for variety, I have a huge selection, I could send you some samples if you can tell me what kinds of moods/feelings you want to evoke :)

Something on the VO on this makes me cringe a bit. Just the way it's said - seems fairly cheesy or overdone/over emphasized. Perhaps not worth redoing, especially if I'm the only one who hears it - so am I?

Now that just awesome. I was a little worried it was going to be cheesy due to what Ana came up with in the beginning,but now I see I had no reason to be worried. Great job Adad; Tbone; and Ana.
