Sturmgrenadier Planetside Epic Machinima

[Spoon]

Its finally here.

You remember the first Planetside Recruitment Video that SG produced a year ago. Drawing more downloads than any other vid produced, including the official Planetside trailers, SG is back again with a 40 min MOVIE! Download today!

File includes a README and Codec.

Sturmgrenadier ( http://www.sghq.com ) is a haven for mature gamers who demand organization with their fun. We have dedicated TeamSpeak servers, extremely active forums, and a clearly defined Chain of Command that allows rank advancement for those who have the desire and ability to lead. If a mature group of players with a passion for gaming is what you are looking for, then look no further.
This video was created by Pympicus and ToStev of Sturmgrenadier Planetside. It was put together with a lot of work and patience on the part of all members of SG. The video is over 40 minutes long. We hope you will all enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed making it.

NOTE: This is THE FIRST online epic machinima film ever produced. Once again, Sturmgrenadier has set the pace for others to follow.

Recruiting forum, it's there for a reason.

I would have no problem with this being posted here if you ditched all the outfit propaganda.

[Sentrosi]

yeah, very happy you could get the Devs to work with you. Unfortunatly some of us moviemakers have to rely upon actual Planetside conditions to do movies.


Thankyoupleasedrivethrough.

His post looks like one of those fire-and-forget ones that'll probably be spammed to every forum remotely related to Planetside. I wouldn't be surprised if he never reads this thread after his initial posting.

[Phaden]

Such hate.

I will be watching it at work as soon as i get done school.

[Indecisive]

First: Fuck Machinima
Second: speaking of malvision, > *

[Phaden]

Well to be blunt, these guys are still doing PS movies, and they arent.

Bam i said it.

I loved Malvision's movies, but they simply are not doing them anymore, for whatever the millions of reasons i have heard. We respect them for what they did, but they stopped. Therefore im all for somone else picking up the reigns with something like SOA.

[JetRaiden]

leet job, SG! :thumbsup:

[Firefly]

Once again, Sturmgrenadier has set the pace for others to follow.
That is, if most of us gave a shit about making movies.

Tell me, did you also set the pace for half your outfit jumping ship to go TR when Enclave left you all in yellow and blue?

My outfit is still waiting for you to answer our outfit versus outfit challenge. Til then, you're nothing more than any other PS outfit that gets rolled over just as much as they roll over on PS.

Jesus you never got a respons to that. Damn that happened a Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooong ass tiem ago too. I would like to witness something like that.

About the movie, great filming I'll say but, I don't like the fact that there is more Drama and hardly any action, when there is any action an epic/drama style of music is played.

Stumgrenadier is too busy setting the pace for others to follow to have any action!

I think my favorite part of that movie was the song from Medieval: Total War. That game had an awesome soundtrack, in addition to having outstanding gameplay.

[Lonehunter]

noes!!! SG has plenty of their own bandwidth!!
Are you kidding? I'm pretty sure all they have is an OC48 connection so, what hell is that good for :rolleyes:

[Cauldron Borne]

da da dadaaa da da dadaaaaa da da dadum da da dum da da daaaaaaaaaaa!


good luck on yer marriage Hamma. Least we know where he'll be instead of PS that night......

Either that or rebuilding the ranks after that mass desertion. Ouch that's gotta sting?

Yeah I noticed there was a lot of activity on Public Test Server, and not enough targets on Emerald. Shame, I was hoping maybe they'd get around to cowboying up and finally taking the TR Challenge.

Red/black for teh w1n!!!11!11on1e!

[Sentrosi]

I give it :thumbsup: :thumbsup: 1/2 out of 5.

Be warned, this movie is 45 minutes long. Yes, Fourty-Five minutes.

What is good about the movie is that it definitely captures some good coordinated attacks with Air, vehicle and infantry. It also carries you along on a story for the first half of the movie. Ok scriptwriting, good use of vocal switches between characters. This sometimes is not conveyed well over people making movies in games, this was done good.

What is bad about the movie is that it is 45 minutes long, very choppy and repetitive at times. I wanted to stab my eyes out when I kept seeing drop after drop after drop on bases or Vanguards rolling or Reaver and Lib spam or...well, you get the picture. I feel that you could have probably let go of about 30 minutes of, what I call, useless film, and concentrate on actual battles you've been in. The first 10 minutes were great, a good lead up story to what you are today, but the last 34 minutes were mind numbing.

Most redeeming moment in the movie is the last minute. Had me laughing my butt off, cause I'm a huge Office Space fan.

So, if you've got the bandwidth available, and want to be a SG, download the video and view it. If you have no interest in it, I wouldn't bother.

Now Richard, back to you...

[Ivan]

... Now Richard, back to you...

Thanks Bob, and now for something completely different.

Well, I felt the exact same way as Sentrosi. It's long, and mind numbing. But some very nice shots in there. Voices of the characters were really good.

[Cauldron Borne]

I liked the last minute....I haven't seen Office space, but my old CO (Digital Marines) made me do something like that...i left reluctantly, only to hear "oh shit" over Ventrillo about three minutes later...apparently my CO found a MAX...I had SA (deci)...

AND:

OMGWTFROFLLOLBBQ! I FELL out of my chair when I saw that picture! I couldn't stop laughing!

[Spoon]

Someone please clue me in on this whole 'went to the TR side'. SG is NEVER been TR so I am pretty lost on where these type of statements are coming from.

[Kaymon]

...I can't hate this.

But, 2 things.

It's the Terran Republic, not empire.

The part where it looks sickeningly like a recruitment video kinda cheesed it. That being the point, though, I can't really complain.

Great writing, excellent cinematography. Good job guys.

Strumgrenadier = Failures


At extinction, you guys tried to hot drop over mithra base, a fuckin bio lab when the gen is on the roof. And you guys failed 10 times. You succeeded when the other NC's pushed the VS down to spawn tubes and ya guys were there alone. You even had 2-3 galaxy drops. Shame on you guys. Get a better players than okay.

[Cauldron Borne]

The only part of the movie I didn't like was the illogical mishmashing of TR scenes. You never explained their being there. And when you got to the "last Stand of resistance" scenes where the NC were pushing out the last of their enemies, you lumped VS and TR fight scenes together. Guaranteed if the TR and VS were in one base we'd claw each other to death, and God help the NC if they got in the way.

And the sniper scene at the beginning didn't really make much sence. Just some totally random sniper...

[Miir]

Overall the video was pretty well done.

Good points :D
Voice Acting
Music (mainstream music always sounds better) :D
End credits (really funny in parts)

Bad points :confused:
Camera work seemed rushed (re-takes are your friend)
For a 45 min movie the story was a little hard to follow.

How long did the total production take you to complete?

[Magen]

We appreciate the kind words the credit for the movie goes to two Sturmgrenadier members who are Tostev, and Pympicus.

A lot went into making the movie, they did an outstanding job and spent many painstaking hours working on it.

Sturmgreandier is all about teamwork, and these two personify the word teamwork.
Thanks again for the kind words, drop by our message boards (http://www.sturmgrenadier.com) and leave a message for ToStev and Pymp on our public forum.

Cheers,

[MrPaul]

Another "fire n forget" post.

[Magen]

Another "fire n forget" post.

Not at all Mr.Paul... you still playing Eve?


btw: I like your animated signature...

[MrPaul]

Ah, my mistake. Just reads that way. (no comment on the hate for Sturm..)

Also: thanks :)

[Magen]

No worries...

And about your "no comment", sometimes folks just have to step back and agree to disagree on things...

[JetRaiden]

anyway, my respect for SG went up a few points after watching that.

I love you guys. :love:
