Talking My unofficial Dom3 trailer

I've uploaded a "homemade" dom3 trailer on utube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wyo-n...e=channel_page

It's not the best trailer ever, but since Dom3 doesn't have any trailers for it, I decided to make my own.

Enjoy(or not) and comment!

I liked the beginning. Its a shame the battles don't look as epic as they could. I really wish the graphical side of this game was as outstanding as the playability.
And just one note on the end. It read www.shrapnelcommunity.co

meaning that it was a bit strange to put the "m" to a new row .

Excellent.
It doesnt really reflect the insane depth of the game (being able to spend literally years arguing strategy). But then again, what trailer does? This is great work.

I liked it. I especially got a laugh out of the picture of Jesus over the desert, given the context within the trailer. I did think the still shots of battles (with units on fire) looked better than the animated sequences. If you did show an animated sequence it might be interesting to click on the states of various units and do pan-and-scan over strength, attack, defense, description, etc.

I've always liked the look of Ermorian legions. It might be cool to show e.g. an Ermorian legion with elephants assaulting EA Abysia, with fireballs and all.

Just thoughts. Nice work!

Nice job, anything that introduces people to Dom3 is a good thing.

Building on Maxwilson's point though, showing more of the unique options of the game like LA Ermor, demonic hoards, and SC's.

Again, nice job.

Wow! Thanks for all the great feedback guys! My next project will probably be a vid. that shows some of the truly unique/cool things in Dom3 like many of you suggested.
This trailer was mainly a test to see if i could make a trailer for a game like dom3.

Yep, I'm aware of that It's kinda weird. When i watched my vid. in Windows movie maker that last sentence seemed to be in order, but in the end result that letter got a bit out of place for some unknown reason.

Very nice one! Maybe a little too much OT material, still very good and enjoyable job

Can I ask you what program did you use to record the battle scenes in HQ? I have been planning too (for a long time, there's even a thread somewhere ) of making some vids of battles to put on youtube with battle tactics

What scenes are you referring to? Or do you mean all of them?

I actually used two programs. GameCam and Fraps. It does seem that GameCam does not cooperate well with Dom3. When I record a battle with it the colors turn all blue like you could see in the vid. Fraps works well though, but I had only acess to the trial version and besides GameCam is a program with more features. For example, you can zoom in and out with GameCam, you can't with Fraps. But for some basic battle tactic vids. I suggest that you try out the Fraps trial.

Hope that helped out a bit

Yay, in fact the blue abysians looked a bit funny Fall/Winter Season outfit?

Thanks for the answer
