Battlefield movie: "The Hotel"
Battlefield 2
Two or more years ago, I was addicted player of battlefield 1942 and 2, I joined a clan (Phoenix) with which we were "champions" of Argentina in a tournament hosted by a server and local community, and thanks to this we made a TV interview on cable TV in rock & pop. At that time I began to see people performing this game videos (famous " mine "if any), to me personally I love to do videos / shorts / films, precise and pleasantly remember the year .. 90 ... 91 or 92 .. ok .. not as accurate where Disney released a game called Stund Island , one of the first 3D games in the golden age of DOS (at that time there was nothing in 3D and of course this was all 3D primitive, no textures, no shadows, or anything, just lowpoly 3d objects but served, and this stimulated much creativity), the game was basically it was planes and shoot them and expose them to perform stunts in a movie theater, all within the same game. As an example of film would land a plane on a moving train, this was the intro:
The game had the option to post (which I learned a lot and I suppose there comes my love for this area) and also had option of making your own videos with any argument, just great for that time, today this " the movie " which is similar in concept but not the same.
Returning battlefield, a few games have options to save to video but battlefield has an option to save the game, this means keeping the position and actions of all (technically speaking coordinates and states) and can play the game from any angle, this gives tremendous freedom to do these things; To check this make a video called "The francommander" a sniper (sniper) and commander (commander) all in one, basically playing a normal game as he put the game (in offline mode or against the computer) and then with a little job post production was as follows:
All in one shot if there would have planned so that the scene has been so for example the punks who want to escape the artillery and just drops them in the head one of the missiles, incredible.
(Also for others to do similar things I wrote a mini tutorial )
How much do I like this, I decided to go further, and make a real short!
I wrote the story, divided into scenes, edit the map adapting to the requirements of each scene, for example I put aircraft at a map does not, tanks and countless others; Once I had digested all ready and started "shooting "first finding extras and people who want to help me with the post that is somewhat lower, once details were available on a rolling start own server if the scene required us to be few and then a dedicated server community gave me netplay for when we were many.
To organize was very useful one spreadsheet to google and also to share the story as other data.
We got to shoot all scenes required, just add some missing but overall everything would be filmed and video, on my drive all the oil is weighing 120 GIGAS! (And sleeping ...)
What remains is to finish post-production, dubbing, audio and music (feat), so you still lack enough 
is something that'll end sometime certainly doubted the final video about 20 ', I wanted it less, but ...: S
The project is 53%, invested 280 hours, assembling, developing and because learning.
Here are some test videos that I was doing:
Intro:
Actors rebels
Draft 1: matrix effect
Retrying a part of the flight, it looks cute 
Final Draft: coordinated attack
And that serve delicious screenshots of the scenes:
I thank many people who made this possible, and I thank you with the finished video, hopefully find time to finish it.
