Ive noticed some people are producing some nice Avis and Movies for their conversions and MODs of freespace.
For some time if been practising filming by orcestrating a scene in Fred 2, I.e a battle where the players intervention is not necessary for the outcome.
What I then do is to record it using my web cam, its rudimentary but basically I point it at the screen. With the aid of the stange and some time spent positioning there is no noticable quality diference, just a loss in the total size of the resoulotion. 1024-768 to 640 res. Once filmed the resulting flashing white refresh can be easilty removed from the frame stills.
Voila- Easy Movie
In addition I can fly my ship around in freespace while in filming it toi get the best shots in incoming jumping caps etc.
Sounds etc can be easily spliced in.
It struck me today, why couldent we use this method to make a mini-freespace Movie. Anyone with a web cam, or video cam could play a part.
Either way it would be entertaining to write a short script and see how it goes.
Anyone agree?
