The Althanas live-action teaser trailer...do YOU want to participate?

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Hey everyone.

So, for a while (and in relative secrecy), I’ve been learning the wonderful world of video editing and post-production, serving as understudy to one of my clients in the creative media industry on some evenings. My keystone project has been to develop a live-action “teaser trailer” promo for Althanas. Yes, you read that correctly. Live action.

Originally, the project was going to be limited to characters that had been involved with Shinsou in recent times, and to that end I have managed to source and edit stock footage to re-create Shinsou Vaan Osiris, Storm Veritas, Felicity Rhyolite and Joshua Cronen. But then I decided I wanted to take it further.

The idea of the teaser is to promote the characters and work of the core members here. Generally, the existing scenes are short and contain a snippet of dialogue per character, but serve to bring our creations into “reality”. As such, I would like to know from the member base who would like their character showcasing, and whether or not people would be prepared to voice-act a line of dialogue for their character for the finished product? This also applies to existing characters (Storm, Felicity, Joshua).

Obviously there are limitations to what I can do. You have NO idea how hard it is to find footage of something even close to half of the stuff on here, and this has made it difficult to introduce characters like Philomel, for example. But, nothing is impossible, and I want to do something both original and enjoyable for the site whilst learning this new skill.

I'm going to post up a "proof of concept" a bit later, to show you all where I'm up to. The video is mostly subtitled but with no actual voice acting yet; just the accompanying audio of music and effects. I think it's as close to the source material as it can be, but I'm open to suggestions.

I can try to source some stuff for you, though I've given some possible advice. Yes, totally in for this heheh.

I mean you could also try to do Stare :P

Jesus. It was hard enough finding something akin to Storm.

I'll have a go though!

Putting up my concept tonight, featuring Shin, Storm and Fel in a short clip (tonight, for me, being in about two hours).

Okay!

Here is the concept video...of the concept video.

Althanas Character Concepts Part 1: The Brotherhood

This is just a short (very short), proof of concept example of what will be expanded upon massively later, more to allow me to get to grips with both the software and its features. Let me know your thoughts.

That Storm introduction was insanely epic!

You got a stock clip for Felicity with face and everything right! I'm so happy!!!

[Storm Veritas]

That was fucking sweet. The music overlay was perfect for the pacing of the clips you picked, although perhaps quite gentle given that the Brotherhood is a wrecking ball. If there's anything specific I can do to help, I'd be happy to.

That was good, Shin!

[Shinsou Vaan Osiris]

Thanks everyone! I know it was short but it was fun to make and i'm already on my second one.

Storm, I have some kick ass stuff in the works with the Brotherhood just before the Siege of Radasanth. The soundtrack will definitely give the impression we are out to wreck shit.

Keep an eye on my youtube channel for an update this week!

This video will be focusing on the return of a notorious Althanian...
