I recently added roq support to the ufo engine - see http://ufoai.ninex.info/wiki/index.php/Artwork#Videos_.28Cutscenes.29 - now we need an intro for UFO:AI - contributions are highly welcome

This topic is for discussion the content, and other intro related stuff

Adrian Magnus:
In an ideal world there would be a sequence showing the attack on Mumbai in all its glory. Really awesome would be live actors and CGI, it worked for the MechWarrior 4: Vengeance intro.

That's the lofty goal.

A realistic goal would possibly be a news reporter in a street in Mumbai reporting on the what little is known about the situation. In the background you could have the sound of gun fire, a few plumes of smoke, and the occasional explosion.

What I'd do would be an animation in a style similar to this one (you might have already seen it):

It's basically a series of well done drawings. The camera moves from one spot to another and all things come alive, they seem to move even though they're mostly static. I think it's realtively easy to do (it's certainly easier to do than a full blown 3D movie) and it wouldnt consume a huge amount of time to get it done.

Oh and if there's no chance for a simple but good looking intro then I'd suggest having no intro at all :D

Mattn:
well done animation

Destructavator:
If you're looking for acting, I have two digital cameras and a chroma key blue screen for photography, and I also have some nice police uniform boots as well as a bunch of BDU camo pants and shirts and stuff in different colors - not just the typical woodland green, but also city grey and sky blue (the blue camo isn't officially used by the US military, but coincidentally it *does* match the default blue color the soldiers in the game wear).  I also have a bit of acting experience in front of a camera from a college digital video project and past music videos I've done.

I also like to dress up in outfits - to be honest in my past I've gone through countless different styles, been into mohawks and long hair phases, and other wild stuff (I still have a black leather motorcycle jacket in my closet, too bad it's now a little bit too small).

Props might be a problem though, I don't own any firearms or have much that would look like one.
