Storytellers and filmmakers of EVE!As a long term project we are looking at creating an
official videomaker's toolkit for EVE Online, similar to the
Fansite toolkit with useful things like the
IEC and quick clips to help make making EVE videos easier. It will grow over time and be hosted on a DropBox. You'll be free to use whatever you see in there to make videos, and we'll make sure all the legal stuff is clear and easy.
The goals of this project:
- Provide easy access to usable assets for videomakers and streamers, reducing the amount of time needed to create awesome player made videos
- Encourage more content creation by players
- Reach a higher quality bar for player-made videos, but at the same time differentiate between official videos and player-made ones
- Find out what we can do to help encourage and support the EVE video making and streaming communities at many different levels.
Ideally this Videomaker Tookit would eventually include:
- Audio - Aura, music, sound effects and possibly more
- Video - UI elements, transitions, beginning and end "plates", other short clips from previous videos
- Overlay Graphics of various sorts, font packs
Right now, we want your input before we go too far down the road of making new assets.
We'd love to hear your impressions, things you WISH we could provide, current challenges for making videos, etc.**
The video team who is helping me put this together might jump in and out of this thread to ask for clarifications and provide some tests. We also might find that this forum thing is outdated and we should switch to Slack or Trello or something similar to have the conversation. But we gotta start somewhere.
I will edit this post with any updates. If you don't want to post here but still have feedback, please consider emailing me at
[email protected]**Please note this will not include access to the internal video making software our video team uses, at least not in any near term timeframe. Wanted to get that out of the way now as the hurdles for doing so are just too high. Perhaps EVE Probe will get us closer though!
