Good news! (Wow feels like this whole thing keeps going up and down..)

I reworked the movie just slightly, to avoid copyright restrictions from ANet. I deleted their logo at the start (Even though I still feel like it should be there, I wan't to show people that "ANET made this game" kinda..), aswell as improved the performance of the video slightly.. very slighty :P

So in this newly released version, and final, you'll see no ANet logo.. Experience a whooping +1 frame rate (From 24 to 25) aswell as slightly better colors.

The movie still uses XviD and still has the same size as the original movie, basically

Oh and of course, I uploaded it to another server. Hopefully they won't take this one down, due to massive downloads

http://www.rpgfilms5.net/A_moment_of_peace_final.zip ~ 66mb - 4 mins

Hope you'll enjoy this version just as much as the ANet logo version. Oh and sorry for any inconvinence (spell?), I'll be more thoughtfull the next movie...

Honestly, im speechless. Easily one of the best game videos ive ever seen (Ive seen ALOT), the music is perfect, everythin is just amazing. Make more, you'll end up well known throughout the GW community in no-time.

Excellent Movie Sublett.

I have created a torrent and posted it here.

Hopefully it will assist in easing the bandwidth burden for you, although will obviously be alot slower until people seed for us

I can see alot of downloads coming for you on this one, very nice work.

It's xvid - get your codex up to date.

for example http://www.xvid.org/
or k-lite codec pack http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/finalbuilds.htm

Sublett: Very nice and thought through, looks like it took some planning and voice com. ? What character did you play and did you have to help the Mo/W later on or could he keep soloing?

I'm that Monk/Elementalist in the video. Sublett was a female Ranger.
I soloed some mobs, but when he didn't record, we just killed anything that tried to kill us.
And we didn't use voice communication to make it.

It was fun, and I hope sub and I can play around some more with movies.

Copying my link to the movie too.
http://efilon.no-ip.com/stuff/Guild%...t_of_peace.avi
It's on a Swedish private 10 MBit line, so don't expect rocket-speed from the USA.

I was amazed how good Sublett editing skills were. It is his first movie ever as I understand it.

Which should I watch first? This video or the GW Trailer Excel made here?

Just so I can pick the best to watch last to not ruin either. If it matters at all of course.

Awsome player made movie. Professionaly done! I acually prefer this one over a lot of the offical ones on guildwars.com. Keep up the good work!

Awsome view of PvE, most movies out there it doesnt show long enough clips of a fight, or either it blurry, or too cluttered you did very nicley mixing scenery and game play!

Round of Applaus!

Well first of all, I'd like to thank you for those wonderfull comments

I didn't actually expect that kind of feedback...

Second, I'd like to give a big thank you to all those who aids in distributing this movie, aswell as anwsering technical questions which I had forgotten... So thank you Eleazar, Luggage, and of course efiloN.

And I'm sorry for those who expected to see some "awesome wicked PvP action movie".. The music wouldn't fit.

Oh oh.. not to mention all those saying nice comments about it (And hopefully mean it).. or have I thanked all of those already..? Hmm... eh... ah well..

THat was really cool! Though I thought sometimes the camera was jerky, then smooth, then jerky. Takes time though to make an academy award film. *cue music* woops... too long

Anyways, I also thought mean of you not to ever HELP YOUR FRIEND! Heh, he could have died!

i loved it! great choice of music.. it's definitely better than the gameplay videos on the official site.. in fact, they should put yours up there

i was wondering though.. is it easier to take a video like that of someone else rather than yourself? and what kind of system do you need to use fraps without much lag?

Thank you for those warming comments

I found it to be easier, as I could get any angles that I wanted, instead of having the camera focused on myself.. The system I'm running on is a P4 3.0 ghx - 1025 mb RAM - Geforce 6800.. No idea what kind of comp you'd need to get the same result.. I'm just glad it worked out for me without a problem

Sorry to hear you and your friend had to take your video offline. I only discovered that when I tried to point a link to your server and found it was broken in answer to someone's complaint that no one wants to be a monk. IMO, your video is the greatest Monk recruitment video I've ever seen

What was that one-handed push up...part of a new monk dance routine or a new emote? Even the swordplay was distinctive, with echoes of the martial arts dance routine.

Good news can be seen at the top of this thread

Enjoy!

Oh I forgot to say, the final version was released to public demand, I can't belive the feedback i've been getting on this movie.. Thanx a lot

Oh oh.. another thing, in response to the above reply.. I've actually noticed it myself, I know atleast 3 people that has decided to play Monk on the release, due to my movie

And I can only say that i'm pleased, as I'm a warrior myself and need healing

That was a spectacular movie, I reckon Arena net (tm) should have taken advantage of this wonderful pre-made movie and used it as an advertising trailer, for this shows the true elements of the game. Though I must admit the official cinematic released by Arena Net (tm) was much more interest, however I must emphesize as a gamer myself the true element and game play is what I want to see in a game trailer.

Very well done, Great atmosphere. >_> Name and Artist of the song? It sounds like Delirium to me, with Sarah Brightman.

I think, and this is just a guess mind you, that it is 'A Moment of Peace' by Gregorian. (It tells you in the credits

)

Actually it is a Mo/Elem.. With a sword.. Quite different isn't it?

"What sane person would play this?" You say.. Well it was actually all for show, there was no real build behind it... We (efiloN and me) wen't through how the monk could look at it's best... And with our limited funds, we just got a simple sword and a focus item (not a shield). It gave the monk an interesting look tho, and the elementalist part just gave the monk the little extra "bling bling" to the movie...

I'm also a player inspired to play a monk. I'm not sure what kind of monk it'll be, though.

But I loved how the monk had a scroll in his hand. It seemed so right.

I downloaded this last night and watched it today. I have to say, if I had not already paid for the game, this video would certainly convince me it was worth it. An amazing first film, you definitely have a talent for it. The monk kneeling to pray at the moment the chanting changed was a great touch. Hope you decide to make some more of these, possibly doing one for each class. That would be great. Anyway, congratulations on the success of this one.

A Very good Movie indeed!

I enjoyed it a lot and will show it to my friends this weekend since they will be at my home because of my Birthday!

I would love to make a small movie with partially speech for my Necro/Mesmer but I don't have the skills.

Though if you would like to help me with it we could meet in game and do it.

I will be of course the Actress only.
I could also help with Voice Acting (Male though

) and /or Singing since I'm also a Singer for many years now.

If you are interested you can drop me a PM or send me a mail at: [email protected]

You can aswell visit our forums and contact me there after you registered on our site/forums.

Thanks a lot for your time and effort doing and sharing this movie with the community!

I have watched a ton of the vids here at this site and others. I loved wathcing yours. It was the best gameplay vid I have seen.

Gwen being a pyro was just the best.....
