In march I started a extreme big T2 FM Video Project! I would say, you need much ambition and motivation to finish that project, but i will do that! I have played ALL the Thief 2 FMs which were released since thief 2 was released! I have not completely finished all FMs. Maybe that´s to much ;) But i looked in every FM! Dromed was a great help sometimes.
I always searched after the most beautiful and vividly places...exciting scenes, but also much action and funny stuff.
Sometimes i made extreme wide shots with arrows =) and sometimes i made a nice camera-flight with dromed...
I also have made some Walkthroughs through the full FM like "Ominous Bequest Gold" or "Under Templehill".
The complete videofiles have a size of 23 GB....don´t forget...the 282 files (full 7 hours playtime without cutting the best stuff!!!) are all compressed...uncompressed maybe 20 TB . If the project is finished....you will see a really fantastic T2 FM-Mix video what you have never seen before! also with fantastic music in the background. you can´t understand what it mean....to do this big job! but i have much fun and i have seen every thief 2 fm....that was really exciting and amazing for me!! I wondered what all you can do with the thief 2 engine! it´s amazing!! soon I will also release the Walkthroughs!

The rough cut is already finished. Background music is already selected. now it is time to choose the best stuff out of the 7 hours...

i´m working with Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 x64...

What will we see in the video when it´s finished:
I think that's very versatile and varied. You will see fights, special objects, different weapons, many different creatures and city watch, beautiful and vividly places, big buildings, horrible ghost places :P camera flights and much more...

in the end i will release more than only one T2 FM Movie Trailer...

I will announce it here if i have some news...

This project sounds extremely cool, very anxious to see the final product. And, I think it could be used as a selling point to EM for releasing an editor with Thief4. :idea:

If you need with distribution when it's done, I can host it over on Southquarter if you like.

Yes, i hope the Thief 4 team will see the Video....see what all is possible with a Editor ;) What that means for all the Fan-Community!




Yea, that would be cool =)

@demagogue

I will upload it on Youtube with HD Quality :thumb:


The video rendering time of some clips takes very long...because the H.264 video clips which i selected must first be decoded every time from Sony Vegas. but i could not save all these vids uncompressed. Maybe for this you need more than 20 Terabytes =) This is annoying because my new PC is not the problem...lol

CPU: 4x3.20GHz AMD PhenomII X4 955 BOX Black Edition
RAM-Memory: 8 GB (Corsair)

windows vista x64...also Sony Vegas x64 :erg: but it goes on ;)

i will not do this ;) The state of things is the following...

well...the Intro is completly finished. so this are the first 2 minutes of 26.
i´m also using the thief fonts in the video :)

you know the video will have different parts.
In the first part you will see many City FMs. this is what i do at the moment ;)
i can´t say how long it will take to finish the full project...but I will announce it here if i have any news :thumb:

But it´s motivating, if there are questions about The State of Things :D

i will do my best!
