@ Rob38: Done.

Thank you! Much better now.

Sorry Rob... I should have thought about that when I moved it to News... =s

Very nice work, I've seen much worse here

It has nice flow and cinematic style, it's not just some in-game video with crappy titles and overused music.

Two remarks:
- The content it has is great, but I don't think it really shows what's new about S.E.E. It could almost be a trailer for the original BFMEII.
- The ending is a bit..sudden..dunno. Could be more epic or something. At least let the title and/or url linger a little longer and fade the sound away gradually.

But again, good work

p.s. I did watch the YouTube version. I'll watch the HD version when it's finished downloading, but that will take a while. You should include the YouTube link in the main post to get more people to watch it.

Nice to see you here 2Play
Hopefully there'll be more trailers from this great producer as we move along after Beta 4.7

I appreciate you shared your impressions

- In my opinion the very first trailer isn't meant to showcase every new bit added to the original game. It opens the doors for additional promotion instead. BFME2 videos were nice but didn't showed the true gameplay - this is almost the opposite case.
- I agree the title at the end could stay for a little longer time. On the other hand anybody can pause and write down the link.

@ Nazgul: Right now I'm making a new trailer for RJ, when I'm done with that we can talk about the next one for SEE

of course however, delaying the end a bit would be for dramatic reasons, not practical ones. first you have all this big action, then the title. it's sort of a cool down period, and if the video stops (which sometimes results in windows popping back up, ads being shown, etc, etc.) it's a bit anticlimactic

[Dre@mer]

Will bear that in mind when making new stuff...

While that's certainly true, I actually enjoyed the fact that it focuses more on style and atmosphere than just being a patchwork of different "new power", "new model" or "new FX" clips. If one's main interest is new features, one can take a look at screenshots or read the change logs. Also, it totally illustrates the Experience the movie feeling part.

Overall: great trailer. I especially liked the scene where the Towerguards run past Gandalf and the top-down view on the Witch-King and the battlefield below.

Personally I'm quite amazed how it's actually possible to direct the models to do exactly what you want them to do, using WB. This is so much cooler than pure in game grabbed shots, and it still shows the same models - only in a fully directed enviroment

That's right beside the mod itself there's also the uncontrolled egocentric part of me that wants to show my little added value. Creating such tedious trailer would be considered of substandard grade

Tell me about that, for me it's just the best part to completely set up the cinematic scenes (not only for the purpose of videos like this but for singleplayer scripted maps, too). Speaking about the WB, have you considered a SEE wordbuilder version? Would make things a lot easier if I could put the SEE stuff directly on the maps ..

[Nazgûl]

Indeed, we will do that after this beta

[ttandchotmail]

G'day Dre@mer

I'm wondering how the trailers are going No hurry or anything just curious I was watching your first one again and it still rocks

[Mordor Slayer]

We haven't decided anything yet on a second trailer . I suggest we wait 'till the pace of the mod picks up again.

[ttandchotmail]

G'day Mordor Slayer

Ok thanks mate. I was under the impression that a series of trailers was in production at the moment but I must have read wrong.

If that were the case it would be great, the future ones could pick up from the end of the current trailer then showcase a particular thing such as faction, new units, new structures, new powers etc. Just my 2 cents. Good work on the trailer too.

[Elessar Ancalímon]

Nice trailer, watch it in HD, just a bit short, hope there will be a second trailer:D, good luck

[Colonel of War]

Congratulations!!!
this trailer is so pretty excellent, it really fits to the mod !

its truly nearly like in the real LotR movie, fantastic pictures with a gigantic battle and perfectly used perspectives

the only thing which was also already mentioned, the viewers don't find out what is so special about SEE

and maybe it could be a little longer

but again great work!
