So are we gonna upload it someplace else? I'm also experiencing problems with the high-res version (sound disappears during last seconds).


That and video/audio desynce happens to me when using regular windows media player - BS player runs it fine.

EDIT: Before I delete all the trailer files (over 9 gb) I thought I'd show you few scenes that I made but didn't make it to the actual trailer:

Originally I had some plans to have a fight between Gandalf and Balrog but it didn't look very convicing in the motion:

Consider having to download the trailer an appetizer to the main course that is the 3-billion byte download that is the actual mod :p

You can actually have "HD" videos on youtube. (That is what youtube calls HD, actually around 1024x576)

All you have to do is scaling the video up to 1280x720 (and possibly add black borders left and right due to widescreen) and youtube will res is down to its HD again. There will be a minor quality loss, but it will still look fantastic in respect to most other youtube videos.

as an example:
just click Watch in HD under the video

Oh, and: Hello :p

I mean why not?I dosen't included any viruses or anything,just download and watch,you will beat up yourself if you won't going to S.E.E it!

Some questions for you Dre@mer:

1)Did you set up all the scenes in worldbuilder and then start the game and reord?
2)Wich audio files is you using?I mean "The day may come when the currage of men fails and we..." isin't from the movie and I can't find it in the audio files?
3)Wich program did you use?And wasen't hard to record The Witchkings Burnings Sword(Is that HoTWK power?) first press on the power then press F9 to remove palantir?

Yes, all the scenes were taken from numerous (!) cinematic maps done in worldbuilder and map.ini files. I used internal avi capture tool for recording it (the same way EA did their trailers - hence the stable framerate). Some of the audio files (like the aragon's speech) are from BFME 1.

The two last Witch King's scenes at the end of the trailer were indeed the most difficult ones. Since there is no S.E.E. wordbuilder I had to do most of it manually. I ended up with having two witch kings - one was "killed" in appropriate moment so there's a corpse of fell beast in the shot. Then the second Witch King landed on the right place in the right angle. Then quickly Burning Sword + F9 + triggering camera animation.

For those who do not want to download:



Within its news Middle- Earth center posted the video on youtube. It's not that tragic when you switch to the high quality option.

Cool.
The race of Men is failing, the blood of Númenor is all but spent – its pride and dignity forgotten… It is because of Men the Ring survives.

Spectacular work. If that trailer doesn't convince people to check out the mod, I don't know what would :evgr:

Could someone please create thumbnail images on the first post and have them link to the larger image... right now the images are really distorting the front page of the T3A site since they're so large. :p
