I am mexican, I have experience drawing and working with textures and sound edition. I like draw some anthro animals, different cartoon characters and fanarts. From the videogames I learned how to edit skins and textures and edit sounds.
Based on the intro of Medieval 2 Total War Crusades Expansion. For some random reasons the developers put crusaders invading Byzantine Empire... with epic arabic music.
It should be maybe arabs or something like... well I asume they based on the venetian invasion to Constantinople, so I did that. :v
I hope you like it.
Special thanks to Berni from Costa Rica who gave me a hint for the cameras, that helped a lot!
And special thanks for Empire Earth Reborn Community for continue working on their project and allow me test their new content.
This one is even better than the Britannia one! Those new camera tricks really made it look and feel close to the OG trailer for M2TW: Crusades, as well as the look of an official Empire Earth cinematic at the same time.
Yeah, his hints helped me a lot, now I can make more dinamic camera angles.
I can make more videos using the cinematics of M2TW but soon will run out, I need ideas from other videogames... or movies, whatever. xD
In terms of video games, a couple of examples I could give could be Age of Empires III (since it's more narrative driven) or Age of Mythology perhaps. For movies, Kingdom of Heaven does have some good battle scenes like the cavalry charge outside Kerak Castle midway through as one?
Age of Mythology can be a problem with the topic of monsters and creatures. But probably from AoE3 I can make something.
Ironically I have material for Kingdom of Heaven, I have Baldwin IV and an "historical" texture for Balian (the character of Orlando Bloom... but he is not on my texture xDD). And some people say that siege presented on the movie is the closest version of a real medieval siege.
Indeed, yeah there are definitely moments where it stretches things a little, but all in all the battle scenes are quite top notch. The only major exaggeration (and all Hollywood period films do this) was the abundance of fire projectiles depicted in the Siege on Jerusalem, just due to the ability to make and fire such weapons en-masse and in synch would have been quite impractical in the time period.
That is true, but well, it looks epic. :v
Can’t deny that.
absolutely amazing, love it!
Thank you. :D
