HLTV.org is recruiting movie makers

22-1-2010 07:53

Do you have a movie maker hidden inside you? Would you like to have your work seen by tens of thousands? Well we have the perfect offer for you then!

As our ongoing effort to provide better and better event coverage we are constantly looking for new ideas, recently we have noticed the popularity of various video clips from events, and as we have all demos before anyone else, and have live footage from the event it is only natural we would have something like that as well. However, being such a small crew, with so many tasks on our plate already we are now looking for people interested in helping out.

All it requires from you is that you know how to make movies, and extract scenes from demos, your age, nationality, gender and hair colour is of no concern! You must however be able to spend time during the big events creating this content. The positions (we hope to find more than one) are unpaid at first, but if the feature is a success and we are able to sell ads in the videos it will be reflected on the creators, but you should probably seek the position because you think it is fun, not to get rich.

To help out finding the very best guys we have set up a small test, the following two POV demos are to be used as base material for the ingame scenes

mSx vs Ravens @ inferno
f0rest vs mTw @ dust2

While the following live footage can be used as well.

Ravens footage1
Ravens footage2
Ravens footage3
Mousesports footage1

We have three different kinds of movies we would like to do, you do not have to master all three, and doing just one of them will be enough to be in the race;

Player Highlight:

A highlight is from only one match, and only about one player, must be something noteworthy.

1 minute max.

Match Recap:

A recap of an entire match, can include any players, should include keyrounds and situations

5 minutes max.

Event Recap:

A recap of an entire event, should include big highlights, should also include footage from the event, we will provide raw live footage.

10 minutes max.

For the match and event recap HLTV demos should be used, any matches can be included. The above live footage is intended for the event recaps. No copyrighted music or other material can be used in the movies. All submissions should be uploaded to YouTube and then links should be sent to Nomad via email.

We hope some of you out there are ready to take up the challenge and become a part of our little crew here.

wow. great idea. I'm not able to do anything like that though, but can't wait to see the results. :D

2010-01-22 12:33

Where the f*** can you find music allowed for commercial purpose?

2010-01-23 21:04

There doesn't have to be any music really, these are meant to be "news clips" not frag movies with tons of effects and such..

2010-01-23 21:19

2010-01-22 11:27

wOw nice GL people

2010-01-22 11:29

i think it must be without any edit\music, just simple clips

2010-01-22 11:30

on "player highlights", 1 min fragpart? or global movie?

2010-01-22 11:56

The highlights are suppose to be small highlights from one player from one match, e.g. a great ace in a round could be a highlight..

2010-01-22 12:34

can we use the voice from esl casters?

2010-01-22 17:35

No.

2010-01-23 14:43

2010-01-22 15:06

good luck! not exactly my department of expertise; event movies.

2010-01-22 15:18

Please try not to stuff the movies with enormous amounts of effects, well, if you do, try atleast to make it work with the film and not against it. I've seen too many fragmovies with potential that literally got destroyed by using X tons of effects in each scene. Personal opinion. GL =)

2010-01-22 15:20

2010-01-22 16:12

In spain there is 28 days in february, here in Portugal there is 30

2010-01-24 21:43

Are you serious? I understand that a leap-year adds a day to February making it 29 days, but how come that there are 30 precisely in Portugal?

2010-01-25 00:28

he is stupid, portugal have only 28 days in february as the others countrys.

2010-01-26 22:18

now u spoilt the fun

2010-01-29 19:30

hahaha portuguese people are so dumb xD

2010-01-29 20:36

aw gees common.!! we all love our 15 secs of fame dont we?

2010-01-29 21:20

I was a movie-maker but i'm retired now :D

2010-01-22 16:08

Thanks for such a great feedback, we really miss you now.

2010-01-22 16:10

hahaha, funny guy.

2010-01-22 16:30

youtube.com/watch?v=KvA_qC-rZTo I just contacted this guy :) hope he accepts :D

2010-01-22 16:22

EXCELENT!!!

2010-01-22 21:15

better contact this movie maker: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A_xDluEILo

2010-01-23 17:51

He knows of this :]

2010-01-25 08:57

I believe this sort of clips are going to be like the videos fragbite are publishing on youtube. So if you can make alots of cool effects, I dont think it really matters.

2010-01-25 13:09

I should make something ...

2010-01-22 17:00

Great idea, I hope that some of you will try go out of your ways to create very good movies. GL

2010-01-22 17:19

I hope you guys realize that this is about a longer commitment, not a single video. You'll 'work' for HLTV.org.

2010-01-22 17:38

that's why I want to get the opportunity

2010-01-22 19:57

bad quality footage :\

2010-01-22 17:40

excelent ! :D where is Oui ? :P

2010-01-22 20:20

At home i guess? :p Or maybe out since it's night in europe :D

2010-01-22 23:25

nice idea it would be great if we could watch the movie entries hltv.org chose for hire at the end of this competition good luck to everyone who will take part the hltv.org community is huge and i am sure there are guys who can handle video editing tools really well.

2010-01-22 21:46

One question, how active should this 'hltv.org moviemaker' be if he gets the place? Just thinking that I might give a try :D

2010-01-22 23:51

DchozN and Numlocked. Best two people for the job that come to mind.

2010-01-23 00:37

pff, cant even handle windows movie maker

2010-01-23 01:29

The only demos and footage allowed are that?

2010-01-23 02:34

It's allowed to use just the demo or both demo and footage.

2010-01-23 11:04

Nice idea Maybe i will try if i had some free time

2010-01-23 11:10

so no demo from hltv.org ? :x only the 2 demos and footage that you have link ? i thing the works will be much beter with not only first person :) thats my opinion :D i will participate ;p

2010-01-23 22:27

Good luck in the choices! :)

2010-01-24 05:30

I know you want me, but I don't have the time :D

2010-01-24 19:40
