Battlefield movie: "The hotel"
Battlefield 2
Two or more years ago, I was addicted player battlefield 1942 and 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 making 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 launched a game called Stunde Island , one of the first 3D games in the golden era of DOS (at that time there was nothing in 3D and obviously this was all 3D primitive, no textures, no shadows, or anything, just lowpoly 3d objects but it did, and this stimulated a lot of 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 a plane landing serious film on a moving train, this was the intro:
The game had the option to post (which I learned a lot and I guess that is why 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 that stores 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 this kind of things do to check this one video called "The francommander" a sniper (sniper) and Commander (Commander) all in one, basically playing a normal game as he put the game (offline mode or against the machine) and then with a little work in post production becomes:
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, incredible.
(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, I put such aircraft to a map that does not have, lots of tanks and other; Once I had digested all ready started the "shooting "search first extras and people who want to help me with the post which is not something minor, once they were available extras began filming on a server itself when the scene required us to be few and then a dedicated server community gave me netplay for when we were many.
To organize all was very helpful a spreadsheet to google and also to share the story as other data.
We shoot all scenes required, just be missing some complement but in general terms would all 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 even lacks enough 
is something that will undoubtedly end off at some point, the final video doubt 20 ', I 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 
Final 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.
