Buns Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Salutations members! And welcome to the first ever Community YouTube Project!Before I explain the task I just want to inform you what "Community YouTube Projects" are. They will usually involve brainstorming ideas for a video or setting up a date where we can act out the video or even casting members for a machinima or voice cast. All Community YouTube Projects will be posted on the official 343iCF channel. If you have an idea for one please send me a PM.Anyways moving along what the 343i channel needs is a trailer! Why a channel trailer you may ask? Well channel trailers will inform any traveler who stumbles upon our channel about what the forum/channel has to offer. Now into the brainstorming. Production will begin later once we have settled on a few ideas. The channel trailer will be around 2 - 3 minutes in length and will feature/highlight a lot of the cool things about our forum including: Contests, Community Events, Affiliates, Podcast, Shoutbox, etc As for execution I would like it to be a Machinima style video with the speaker announcing the highlights.Now what do you guys think? This will be the channel trailer for the foreseeable feature and I want this to be excellent. So please submit your ideas below on what the trailer should have! Don't worry about video editing or capturing the footage I can handle that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckoningZebra1 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think it'd be great to have a channel trailer! Give the channel a more professional feel and informs users what type of content they can expect. If I can, in anyways assist in this let me know.

Pbrabbit Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Now you want an announcer, I am pretty good at that type of stuff. I would love to the present the site with a trailer. Let me know if I can be any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckoningZebra1 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well you can assist by making suggestions/ideas on what you think should be in it. Ohh, I see. Perhaps it could showcase content that users would be able to expect in the future, like the Podcasts, Tournaments, Forge Contests, etc. Maybe have Church (or anyone, but I think Church would do pretty good) narrate while showcasing features of the forum and clips from some of our community events. Enough to give everyone a good overview of who we are and what we're about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buns Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 As you know, I'm always available for voice acting. Oh I was looking for that Boston Boss guy........ Maybe you know him? Ohh, I see. Perhaps it could showcase content that users would be able to expect in the future, like the Podcasts, Tournaments, Forge Contests, etc. Maybe have Church (or anyone, but I think Church would do pretty good) narrate while showcasing features of the forum and clips from some of our community events. Enough to give everyone a good overview of who we are and what we're about. Church would be good if we were doing a commercial trying to sell a product.

Is not JL Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 If you're doing it as a machinima-style trailer you may as well do it machinima-wise, with some spartan surfing the web in covenant killing downtime before some weirdo perv sage voiced by Boss encourages him to go to 343iCF because it's cool.

Silent Orbis Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 First of all, I recommend that you don't get fancy on the graphics. "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" - Steve Jobs. This quote has helped me soooo much on school assignments, a lot lf other designs in life. Just pick a nice vibrant color and give it a subtle gradient, then put any words or description that you wanted to put. Second of all, make sure whoever is narrating has a really good HD microphone, and a soothing voice. I know I'm not a pro, but these are two of my recommendations for quality. As for the actual video, maybe you could have a collage of different things about 343iCF or something. But it'd also be really cool to have some nice music in he background, like some Halo music or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
