Wow, so I really wish there was like a website that you could pay to do this for you like with term papers, cause this was nothing but a pain in the ass. It’s like you have to spend this unlimited amount of time devoted to these videos to accomplish something very small.
Editing? Forget it! Maybe with a different program it would be easier, but Windows Movie Maker seems liek a very simple program, and I really didn’t have too much of a problem navigating it.
It’s possible, of course, that we just picked a movie that was difficult to recreate, and then picked a game that didn’t have all of the tools we would have needed at our disposal.
Well, two things. One, we didn’t want to pick a movie that was too overused or too common. So no LOTR, no Matrix, etc. Secondly, we didnt have access to a good amount of fully controllable games, and we thought it would be cheap to use the Reservoir Dogs video game to recreate a scene from the movie.
I think if given more time, and access to a free-roaming game w/ controllable camera angles, etc., we could probably have a cool video on our hands. Also, i would have to quit my job and drop out of my other classes, cause damn are those things time consuming.
