I'm sure you've already thought about it, weazel, but what about a first person perspective scene? Hard to shoot, but could be a fun challenge. You know, leaning around corners and climbing ropes, etc. :ebil:
The problem with that is that I don't yet have a close-up lens kit for my camera, which would be necessary. I'll probably get one some time. Does anyone know where to get them cheap? The good ones usually go for like $100. I don't need the highest quality lens as long as it actually works.

Why is that a twist? it is how the game was/is originaly played.

The clips are really nice, but they're way too dark here. My monitor's gamma is pretty high, and I care barely make out what's going on. Brightening them a bit wouldn't hurt...

but brightening them WOULD hurt for the rest of us who see them just fine - it might wash them out and look dumb. Dunno what's wrong on your end, but maybe you need new drivers, new monitor, new video player, something...

I fiddle with the contrast/brightness a bit in Windows Media Player when I play the movies...
Sadly, I can't remember how you make those controls visible. :erm:

Well, taking it in the medium that it's in, first person isn't exactly expected.

Weasle, are you using one of those new LCD flatscreen monitors?
Their colour range is severely limited compared to CRTs, and as a result, you can make out the dark areas just fine on the LCD's at my Uni. As a benchmark, you can clearly see Garrett when he hides next to the fireplace. On my CRT at home, I put all the brightness settings right up, and you can still only BARELY make out his face in that part.
As a side note, CRT's have much richer colour, especially with the lights out. It's all because of the principal of the CRT actually shooting light at you onto a natrually dark screen, where as LCD starts with a fully bright light, and tries to block out the white light with LCD cells. In the dark, black looks grey.
(I haven't been able to test the latest Dell flat screens in the dark, but this is what happens on my friends lap top)
