Battlefield movie: "The hotel"
Battlefield 2
Two years or more ago, I was addicted player 1942, battlefield 2, I joined a clan (Fenix) 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 make videos with this game (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 so accurate where Disney released a game called Stunde Island , one of the first 3D game in the golden era of DOS (at that time there was nothing in 3D and obviously this was all in 3d primitive, no textures, no shadows, or anything, just lowpoly 3d objects but it did, and this stimulated much creativity), the game was basically aircraft and they were filming them and expose them to perform stunts in a movie theater, all within the same game. As an example of serious film land an airplane on a moving train, this was the intro:
The game had the option to post (which I learned a lot and I guess that here 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 a video but battlefield has an option to save the game, this means keeping the position and actions of all (state coordinates and technically speaking) and can play the game from any angle, this gives tremendous freedom to do this kind of things do to check this one video called "The francommander" a sniper (sniper) and commander (commander) all in one, basically I played a normal game as he put the game (in offline mode or against the machine) and then with some work in post production is as follows:
All in one shot if there would have planned so that the scene has been so, for example, little guy who want to escape the artillery and just drops them in the head one of the missiles, unbelievable.
(Also for others to do similar things I wrote a mini tutorial )
As much I liked doing 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 a map planes do not have them, lots of tanks and other; Once I had digested all ready started the "shooting "first finding extras and people who want to help me with the post which is not something minor that were available once the extras began filming on a server when the scene itself required that we few, then a dedicated server community gave me netplay for when we were many.
To organize all was very helpful a spreadsheet from google and also to share the story as other data.
We shoot all scenes required, just be missing some complement but overall everything would be filmed and video, on my computer all the oil is weighing 120 GIGAS! (And sleeping ...)
What remains is to finish post-production, dubbing, audio and music (feat) so I still lack enough 
is something that will undoubtedly end off at some point, the final video doubted about 20 ', wanted it to be less, but ...: S
The project is 53%, I spent 280 hours, assembling, developing and because they do not learn.
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 
Last draft: Coordinated Attack
And delicious take 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.
