"The Dark Lord" Teaser Trailer

I haven't posted any screens of my new SP level in the last couple of weeks, and I probably won't post any more for a while. In the meantime, this short a teaser trailer should hopefully give you some idea of what to expect:

NOTE: You need DivX to watch this.

Or a player than can play DivX movies without DivX.

I hate DivX. Never worked right for me. So I don't use it. :D

And your link doesn't work.

If you e-mail it to me I can upload it to my webspace for you ( [nm] )

And that BoaM thing in your sig sounds cool. :o

I tried the link and was having problems myself.

If anyone can manage to download it and put it on their own space, I'd really appreciate it. E-mailing it to people isn't really an option for me.

The solution to downloading it is to visit the root site by erasing the dlteaser.zip from the address line. Then adding it back will allow you to download it.

The problem is that unless it's supposed to be only 3.4 megs in size and corrupted, you're not going to be able to enjoy it.

EDIT: Oh, and I think I just sucked the bandwidth dry by trying to confirm whether I got it wrong or not. Sorry (that you picked such a crap host).

It's the cruddy webspace I got with my ISP... BT believe it or not.

And it IS only 3.4MB. I can't download anything over 5MB. I have a much better quality version on my hard drive.

I tried repairing the ZIP with PowerArchiver, it worked, it got a file listing but it couldn't fully extract the AVI. If you can send it to me on AIM (Cedak5) or ICQ (35960628) or on IRC I could host it for you, the high quality one too. I'm at RIT, our outgoing connection in nuts.

The link seems to be working now!

Anybody who's willing to host a mirror, can you please post the link and I'll update the first post. Cheers.

It's a bit of a pain for me to send it to you guys via ICQ (or AIM) because I don't have it. But I'll be willing to download it if a mirror can't be posted soon.

[edit: As soon as a reliable link is up, I'll send it to Massassi.]

No go, it's corrupt still, even after PA attemps a recovery.

No matter, I just made an FTP account for you. I'm PMing you the login information.

Cool Emon, thanks a lot. I'd like you to take a look at the level itself at some point too, you're always good for performance tips.

it sucks that you cant have them crouched behind thos eboxes and firing, moving for a better position and whatnot, it'd be a lot cooler then, and would explain the wasted blaster shots (other than stormies horrible aim ;) ) but fecking awesom other than that little point.

The architecture and atmosphere needs work. The place needs to show some significance (why are they in a cave??) The lighting isn't too good (I can barely see where they are.) Prehaps a different location and surroundings would create more of an interesting scene.

Needs work. :)

None of what you see in the trailer appears actually in the level. The architecture is just something I threw together quickly. It's just a teaser to try and get the feel of the level across without spoiling any scenes from the final level.

i thought it was a good trailer. vader just kinda pops out from the shadows and chokes everybody, its kinda vader's style. i would have liked to see vader do a little lightsaber action, but no big deal.

Haha, great trailer. This looks quite fun.

Now that I've seen it, I have to say it proves Anthony's style very well: It's nothing we haven't seen a zillion times before, but the directing is what makes it cool.

Hope you don't mind me hosting it on a helluva faster server.

Anyway, looks awesome, at least directing wise. Show some in-play action!!! :D

I'm curious as to why you bothered...other than the fact that you can say your server is faster. Is your [bandwidth] big, too? :rolleyes:

Anyways, now that I finally watched it... very nice!! I like the way you didn't actually show vader, and added the breathing sound , and that makes it all menacing. And stuff. :)
DO NOT WANT.

A cool trailer with fine directing. The old style of not actually showing Vader was wisely chosen, and very effective.
