Made this for EVE Is Real. I'm quite pleased with it, especially seeing as I have basically zero previous video editing experience. Please let me know what you think (gently!)
Cheers. -

Originally by: Fix Lag Was that last part intentionally directed at CCP or was that just a complete coincidence?
I think that's more you projecting your feelings onto the video. -

Originally by: Fix Lag Watch this and tell me it wasn't a clever and subtle jab at CCP's introduction of NeX goods.
Dude. I could load a movie into you and watch it against a wall, you're that good at projecting. I made the damn thing, I know what themes are and are not intentionally there.
Among other things, I'm pro-NeX, so I'm definitely not going to have a jab at it. I'm more likely to have a jab at you for trying to turn everything you see into a discussion about the things that bug you.
This is a video made for the joy of how pretty some of EVE's trailers are, for exploring the philosophy of the universe, and for love of the game and setting. nothing more. Stop trying to make it be about your crusade, because it isn't.
tl;dr - STFU. -

Originally by: CCP Cascade That was really well done! I think you were spot on with a lot of things in that video: Tempo of voice, music choice, video clips and the powerful and meaningful message.
I hope you keep doing more videos like this!
I think I will, as soon as I've invested in a better microphone. Thanks for the encouragement! -

Originally by: Telvani How is anyone saying this is good? Its just a load of CCP trailers with a (weak) voiceover and its in the wrong forum section, which it seems as long as your crap video ends up on EVE IS WOTwilightbeta.net doesn't matter anymore.
My Eve is has been churning out good videos for years, CCP release some cheap advertising site and there are no extra good videos being made but hundreds of rubbish ones diluting them.
You need to meditate or something. Put some soothing music on, take your shoes off, take deep breaths through the nose and out the mouth. All this angry tension's going to make you old before you time.
Either that, or get laid. -

Quote: I'm not a roleplayer of any description...
Clearly not. If you were, you'd know that it's not good roleplaying etiquette to dictate how you believe another player's character would behave.
"I flap my arms and fly to the top of the wall." "You're a dwarf. that's physically impossible." is valid.
"I accept the tavern wench's advances and let her lead me to my room with a bottle of the inn's finest mead." "Your character wouldn't do that!" is not.
Originally by: ****beardThePirate I doubt your character would take cloning so frivolously if he realized you don't actually get reborn, you just get copied. When a capsuleer dies, they don't wake up in a pod. They die, and someone else - an entirely separate consciousness who looks and thinks exactly like them - wakes up in a pod and continues their business.
You're underestimating just how dramatically diverse people can be. Whether or not your interpretation is accurate, what's more important is how the character responds to it. The scientific reality that it is technically a very, very accurate copy with up-to-the-second memory of their life to date may not necessarily bother a person.
The fact that their atoms were being violently disassembled, converted into energy and then accurately reassembled somewhere else never seemed to bother anybody in Star Trek whenever they used the transporter, for instance. It's only a problem if you make it a problem in your head.
The character may believe that apparent continuity is as good as real continuity. He may not acknowledge the discontinuity at all. He may be religious, and believe that the soul survives such transmission, and that the clone is therefore still him.
He might just be a pragmatic sort who would say "well, I still feel like the same guy, therefore I'm the same guy. Don't bother me with fiddly philosophy". He might even relish his own temporary destruction as a manifestation of the chaos and upheaval that his philosophy glorifies.
Quote: ...just a media critic hobbyist, and your plot has holes.
A "plot hole" as I understand it is when there are absences in a narrative that fail to explain why the story took another, equally or more valid path. I don't see one here. The character's cavalier attitude to his own serial mortality is a personal quirk, not a failure of narrative logic. His speech is his opinion and his opinion, which is subjective, does not have to conform with your different, also subjective opinion. -

criticism from this thread and the youtube comments taken on board, and I'm producing a version which has been tweaked to enhance the "radio" effect rather than the "bad mic" effect, and also adjusting the subtitles. Hope to have it up sometime this evening. -

Edited by: Stitcher on 15/08/2011 14:51:56 Old video has been removed, and the new one is being uploaded... in glorious 1080p HD.
The changes are subtle, but I think the result is an improved video. let me know what you think!
...once it's up, of course :D -

Originally by: DeliciousHamBeast That was excellent! I thought the voice fit well, better than the usual 'stern british gentleman'.
British yes, gentleman not technically but I like to think so, stern hell no. :D -

Major spike in views since the video was linked on Facebook. My phone spent the whole day notifying me of emails from people commenting on it. I have just one question, guys...
...do I get ISK for this? -
