Hello Freespace community. I found this guy on reddit (username is LeonDeka) who happens to be fond of remastering old, low quality CGI's from videogames. I figured I'd recommend him here if anyone is interested in having some of the Freespace intros/cutscene, or those of any other game for that matter, remastered.
Here is an example of his work: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x02jfRXHv68
The poster of the video is not the guy btw. I did contact him earlier and discovered there is a small fee to use his services.
I'm sure, considering this game has been out for 18 years, pretty much everything that could be remastered and redone already has been. I'm just giving out another option because I was very impressed with his work.

We actually already got someone here that has been remastering the old CGIs for Freespace. His name is mjn.mixael.

Whoops, I did not know that.

Well, don't be so hasty, if he does good work and likes to mod, send him over. There's room for more than one awesome cutscene artist.
However, all of the modders here do it as a hobby. Paying for modding work almost never happens. (A rare exception is the recent Vasudan model work done by a guy at mjn.mixael's studio.)

Hi there!
I’m the guy soilder198 recommended! He initially contacted me on Reddit, but he left me the link to this post here, I thought I’d pop in and say hi!
In terms of Fee’s, soilder198 was correct, but I am afraid there was a little bit of a misunderstanding. I am happy to help with no charge, but please let me explain myself first.
Basically, when I was asked to do the Guild Wars CGI for WoodenPotatoes, he initially offered me a small sum of money to do that scene and the CGI of another old game (Little Big Adventure 2/ Twinsens Odyssey). Whilst he gave me due credit, he posted it on youtube without asking me first, and then claimed he was going to start a gofundme for a renderbox so she could do the CGI himself.
Basically, I’m a freelancer and my Reddit account is my freelancing account. I take offers, bids, jobs to do to get by. When soilder198 approached me on Reddit, I assumed it was for a Freelancing job, so I gave him my terms.
I am happy to help on a mod project. I’m happy to do it for no charge. But if you wanna ask me to help on a project, you could have told me it was such first without…sorta coming in and asking for it like it was for a personal project (which I assumed WoodenPotatoes wanted from the Guildwars Cinematic).
I have done some CGI remaster work already, and I am happy to contribute my services, without charge in exchange for fair credit where it is due.
Here is a link to a reddit post talking about my process and some examples I have done. Of course, that’s the bulk of the work, I’ve not explained my colour-grading process too! Mwah hah hah! :P

Anyway, please please please feel free to approach me! I’m always looking to get my name out there!!!

P.S. - soilder198 shouldn't feel bummed out about this. We just got mixed messages. I assumed it was for a paid project. Forgive?

:welcome:
That is some pretty impressive work. Well done. :yes: We are always happy to get new talent, and we are pretty big on making sure credit is given where credit is due, so hopefully you'll feel at home here. The aforementioned mjn.mixael is another graphic artist freelancer, so perhaps you two could share tips on how you run your businesses.
