So, here is my entry into the contest, titled "The Matrix Online: Countdown" Though it may be disqualified for length. Walrus, if you can please even use a part of this. We would greatly appreciate it. My faction, the players on syntax who choose to help me, and myself have spent alot of time in this. Hours upon hours of editing and filming have gone into this project.


The movie weighs in at 372mb and is 19 minutes 14 seconds long. It has been rendered using windows media video format 9 at 640x480 with high quality audio and video. There is the occasional glitch here and there, but hopefully you won't see it. All dialog has been recorded, there are no subtitles. The movie has a complete music soundtrack and sound effects, some recorded in game, some edited myself clip by clip. Comments are welcome, insults for any reason are not. Hope you like it!


As of November 30th 12:00am PST - this movie is not yet completly uploaded to the server. But i had to make sure i got it on here before the thread closed. It will be totally uploaded by 2:00am PST.

This short film is a tribute of mine to the live events team and to
everyone responsible for putting out the chapter cinematics.  I
remember the day that the first cinematic went live in beta and I
watched it and my jaw hit the floor.  I want SOE to know how
important the ongoing story is to the community here.  For many of
us the ongoing storyline is the main reason why we are here.  



For my film I mixed several of the cinematics with footage that I
"shot" and added dialogue and music to create the story of a newly
awakened redpill and his reaction to the changing state of the
Matrix.  This film introduces someone who is not familar with the
Matrix Online to the current storyline.



Film is just over 6min long and comes in at 232MB

Alrighty I have a new version of my film up here It is on my own site so it should download pretty quickly.  I fixed the fight scene with "Bob," some of the transitions and the audio. 


If you haven't seen this yet here is what people are saying about it:


"that was an awesome telling of everything that happened"


"i vote for elros"


"dude go to bed"

MEGAUPLOAD seems to take a long time to download the file off of their
server.  Sorry about that.  I have the files up and hosted on
my personal server so if that earlier link is taking to long shoot me a
PM and I can give you a link.  I also have a 30MB wmv version up
on my server as well.



Good luck everyone!

#34400000553 12/01/2005 10:57:39 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
I vote for Elros SMILEY
#34400000554 12/01/2005 11:21:03 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005

I vote for Elros


And I did, accidentally, 2x.  That Elrose post up there was actually supposed to be MINE.


So, Elros DID NOT voet for himself.  That was an error.  On MY part.  He had nothing to do with it.


All Apologies.


You may beat me with a wet noodle now.

#34400000556 12/01/2005 11:03:28 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
I vote The Countdown all the way!!! It was AWESOME! Great job Beachhead. Can only expect the best from The Tetragrammaton.

#34400000557 12/01/2005 11:55:20 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
Countdown was awesome! 


I laughed my *CENSORED* off during the big fight scene when the camera starts panning around and you see this guy in the background just dancing like a fool amidst all the fighting, then he realized he's on camera and dashes off screen.  Don't know if that was intentional but it was hilarious.


Again, great movie.

hmm, I'm wandering how they're going to pick the video's. I think Countdown should definetely win, but here's the thing...

They have 15 minutes of showing time to SOE....and Countdown is over 18+ minutes long. With as many good submissions as we've gotten I'm wandering how they will handle this and how many they were "planning" on selecting.
#34400000563 12/01/2005 17:39:49 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
I hope they do a compilation of all of them together, or atleast the good ones *hopes mine gets in*

#34400000564 12/01/2005 19:01:05 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
Countdown by Tetra sounds like a winner to me. The quality of the
video, from the story, the acting, the special effects and the sound
makes a great result!

#34400000565 12/01/2005 19:20:19 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
I don't know if my vote is even still good at this time, but I vote for countdown. All thouse who don't will be deleted. Or just disagreed with.
#34400000566 12/01/2005 21:15:03 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005

Well i've never done this before but I wanted to give it shot.


This is another submission from Shadows Of The Infinite, Please note that the movie you are about to watch has no ties to the prior post (story line wise).


     I hope you enjoy!

People were also having problems downloading the non-divx file earlier
(they were getting an eariler version with messed up audio and
transitions) but those have been fixed and it can be downloaded here  It is in mpg format and is 226MB



#34400000569 12/02/2005 08:23:45 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005

I don't believe Walrus asked us to vote.


When they do want us to vote we usually get a poll. :smileywink:


Cheers all. And good luck.


#34400000570 12/02/2005 11:44:23 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005

#34400000574 12/02/2005 15:52:55 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
Edit to post above - Sykin also did his own voices.
#34400000575 12/02/2005 14:55:48 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005
For the guy who we said we had alot of help from he devs. Your wrong.
We dubbed all of those voices except Crytpos. Trust me. I was on our TS
when we were writing out thevoice script.

#34400000576 12/02/2005 16:37:54 Re: Show Off MxO Movie Contest - Ends December 1, 2005

The deadline for entries is now over. We'll be reviewing the entries internally and talking about exactly what we're going to do with the films to show the game off to the rest of SOE.


Thanks to everyone for their hard work--there are some kickass entries in this list!
