Aug 12: I have placed an updated WMV movie with corrected spelling and also uploaded a QUICK TIME version of the movie.
The QT version is better but a much larger file.

Hello All,
I have been a long time reader here and have gotten a lot of help with questions I had about Silent Hunter III.
Thank you all!

I read about people making movies using FRAPS so I thought I would give it a shot. Please be kind in your reviews. By that I mean, be honest not mean. I can take honesty. You will see inconstancies in the film and that is because I was working with a game. After over 130 hours I just got tired of restarting the game to get a specific shot so please bare with me on that. Oh and I already know that I'm not Robert Wise or Sidney Lumet courtesy of my friends.

Here is the link http://hosted.filefront.com/Smoker59er

I did learn alot from this project that I can use on my next one.

Once again thanks all for the great info about the game.

I loved it! Excellent job!

Did you do all the voices? And how did you get the other sound effects? Like the alarm on the sinking ship and the high-pitched pings?

How about putting in a sequence of a flying aircraft towards the end? With CCIP's great cameramod (I think it's his!) you can rasie the camera up to the cruising altitude of aircraft.

But I like it very much as it is.

If you're thinking of making more of these, I won't mind at all!

It was a pretty big download, but it was worth it...very nice movie!
Some of my favorite shots were of the torpedoes launching and steaming towards their target.
And, it was nice to hear the in-game music (which I really like) be used in a "cinematic" way, it works really well as a movie score.
It was also pretty cool how the crew seemed to be really talking, with their movements matching their speech.

Keep up the good work!

That was an excellent movie! I enjoyed it.

badger_ken · 08-11-05, 10:46 PM

outstanding! Thanks for creating and posting it!

Two quibbles:
1) it's "crew morale", not "crew moral"

2) 2 torps at a small tanker is awfully profligate! worked out though, that tanker blew up real good!

Smoker59er,

That was great work, when are you doing the full length movie version?

Seriously I loved it and I could have watched more, I realise it must have taken you a while to edit all that and put it together, it is an outstanding job.

When ever i make a movie for SH3 for my own enjoyment and LOL from mates, it runs slow, ive tried Fraps and Camatasia. its viewable but not movie quality. how do u stop the slowness.

Good job!!

Your surname...are you danish by any chance?

misterpinna · 08-12-05, 02:39 AM

I like it. Sure, there are some "tech" issues... but the general idea is good. It gives me emotions, and that's a very good thing (I think). Thank you for the job, and let us know when you will release your second film!!!

SmokinTep · 08-12-05, 06:32 AM
