Thread: Lucid Dream Game Idea

I have another idea. What do you think about keeping track of our progress and making
some occasional videos of us talking about the game ( in full professional dress of course )
and how it started on a Lucid Dreaming forum and such and then when the game is all said
and done, we can have a full video in an "extra's" menu called "The Making of Lucid" and we
could have like interview / overview videos with some of the main people involved and such.
We would also need someone with a good voice to do narration.
Basically what I mean is something like this:
YouTube - The Making of Kingdom Hearts pt 1 (PS2)

All,

My brother is a professional videographer and editor using Final Cut Pro. Even I have an old Cannon GL1. My brother's equipment is much better. The above video for Kingdom Hearts looks really good. I don't know how they got such good video of the computer. There are problems you wouldn't think of with that. Maybe he can figure it out. Maybe flat screens don't mess up video the way CRT's do.

The other thing is, would you want it with just the game and voice-over, or would you want to show the team? Being scattered all across the country/world will make that a problem.

I would say we would just have key players / leaders do some camera-to-face talk about the game
and the process and send the video footage to whoever is doing the editing. I could talk about a few
things like how the game started as an idea on a Lucid Dreaming forum and came together from a
bunch of people on the internet. I live on campus so I'm sure I can find some video-production majors
to do my segment. I may even be able to get some of my professors in on the project and maybe do
a short bit. I had a teacher last semester who did a 3d game with a couple students so I may go talk
to him about helping us out with this. It will get someone with a little more experience involved.

Sounds great. If it is shot on Mini DV, no breaks in time code please, though they know that. If it is shot on anything else, it doesn't really matter that I know of. I'm happy to take on the editing. I'll list you as in charge of the video on my page.
