Hello The Vandhaal,
I will collect my ideas for a new movie map with new soundtracks here.

1. Indiana Kastor and the Last Crusade

2. King Arthur and the Holy Grail (Part X: The Trojan Rabbit)

3. Once upon a time at AOM ("in the west") - The Final

4. Life of Eitri

5. Thriller - Michael Jackson video clip (with similar soundtrack, but NO copy!)

6. A Western ShortStory (Morricone will lend me his Harmonica;))

7. Starwars - The Beginning (black terrain as space - use earth... I will make a bombastic soundtrack similar to John Williams tracks!)
->My Favorite yet!<-

8. (Temporarily) I create my own scenario - holy... I just make random maps...

If you know other music which inspires you to make a map and if the music is OLDER than 75 years, then there is no copyright anymore to make a closer similar soundtrack legally, tell me if so!
... more will come

[The_Vandhaal]

Ok i have also thought a little about it.

Firts ofcourse I thought about a cinematic from some other part of The Ring of the Nibelungen. but then i thought...well you have already the music for that so it would be a waste for Montys talents. So possibly i will make another Nibelungen cinematic but I think I have 2 better ideas for this cinematic.

Maybe this can be a possible set up for us to work on. I design the cinematic but just leave it silent...then you can take the file and compose a track for it. I would like this set up very much because I like the fact that i get a suprise when i see the movie with your music !

If all is finished we can also turn it into a wmv movie.

I am not sure if we should use ingame aom soundeffects which mix with your soundtrack (like I did in my clash with the Gibichungen movie). because I would very much like that you have complete freedom within the story of the movie in creating your soundtrack.

What are your thoughts on this matter ?


Idea 1

The idea is based on the story about the guys where I based my nickname on.

Obviously I will adjust the story and incorporate into my imagination.

short description:

On a certain day an object falls from the sky into the sea (nearby small island where some tribe of fisherman live). They deside to retrieve this object from the depths and it turns out to be some kind of sarcofaag.

The fishermen think that it is their god who has come to them and open it...there is where all the mess starts.

The creature they set free is an ancient evil (possible trapped by the gods who knows). As it awakes it continues with its purpose in life: A holy mission of destruction.....well i have enough ideas how this continues but its just to give you a insight in the story.


idea 2

This idea is based on a manhunt idea.

Some guy has done something bad (killed something or stolen somthing) to some wizard or a god and escapes.

The wizard or god or whatever wants revenge and send some hunters after the guy. These hunters are turned into the shape of dogs (or wolfs) and travel the entire world in search for the guys.... well i am not yet sure how this can end.


I preferre idea 1 because I can make use there a micro cosmos (small settings like the fishermen) and let it flow into epic proportions (large armies/ combat etc etc)

Also I like the idea to use a silent movie concept. I am not sure if you can do voice acting...but if you can we can use just a single voice (the narrator) who tells the story....if you cannot I think we have to make a set up where no dialogue is needed.

Well these are my my little mind brewings on this topic. I do not think both storylines fit in 10 to 12 minutes but maybe its a better idea that i just make the cinematic and you time the track on whatever lenght it is going to be. As it probably will get more scenes you can always repeat certain sound/music parts

Best regards,

The Vandhaal

Nice,
I also prefer Idea1.

I have good news:
I found a resource where I can get professional voice actings for male and female voices, each multiple - and easy and fast to record.
So, the concept for a silent/raw movie version seems to be excellent.
I go on messenger tonight, maybe we can chat the details then.

[The_Vandhaal]

Great to hear about the voice acting.

So if i understand this correct you are able to create a voice or ?

If so: I like the idea of just one narrator telling the story (like a sort of voice over)

In this way the voice thing also doesn't get too complicated as we just have to use one voice.

But if it doesn't work well no problem then we stick just to the soundscore without voice (always keep some room for oursleves so it wont turn into a big headache project).

K .,

I have set up the 2 start scenes...so the project and story has begun

I will probably do some tweaking as I proceed and will show you the prototype after the first part has been finished ( not that this will tell you anything because you do not know what the first part is ).

in case I get the test reports on my campaign and start with the final touch and release of it then I will make the stuff from the movie which is done aviable for download to you .

Best regards,

The Vandhaal

p.s. signatures in these forums are active but i discovered that the forum does not get all types of BB code like for example whisper...so if you want to make a sig you have to try out

Best regards,

Hello .,

I have completed some more scenes and are now working on the larger constructions (most call that eyecandy).

These larger constructions will take a little more time to build as they are more complex ( one is an outpost from the city of the Lion Queen and the other will be the first big city in the movie..... the city of the Lion Queen ).

So do not worry if you do not hear from me because I work on it on a regular base

Best regards,

The Vandhaal
