EVE General Discussion

Hi buvip, can you be more specific? Are you saying that you will provide the raw PvP footage and you want someone to fashion a video/audio/script intro? Will you be editing the PvP footage yoursef?

Genuine enquiry.

Hi again buvip. You clearly recognise how important the intro will be. I'm sure most YouTube viewers won't proceed to the main body of the work if they find the intro disappointing. To that end, it's quite usual to sort the intro out when everything else is in place, so that it makes an impact and seems to flow naturally into the rest of the video, by design.

I'm puzzled why you're not having a bash at it yourself though. You obviously have some sort of video editing software that you're comfortable using. You also have the conceptual bit down. 10-15 seconds won't give your eventual video-maker more than time to display 2-3 images/titles (animated or otherwise), and a bit of music perhaps (which in any case should probably be part of the video-proper, for continuity's sake).

I should state immediately that I'm not in the running for this position! I'm just starting out on my own EVE video-making journey and these are some of the things which I've learned.

I respectfully suggest you just take a look at other intros (not necessarily EVE) and observe what works and what doesn't, for you. It's quite ok to 'lift' ideas from such sources, and they can be excellent inspiration.

If there's a specific problem you have with the intro, why not drop me an EVEMail? I'm passionate about getting people to try their hand at media content-creation in an EVE context.
