Short Story Videos - All Good Things ...

[Vedui]

Hi all,

As I was sifting through the last of my Alpha 15 footage,and just taking a backup for posterity I loaded it up and was playing around with it, to see how different it was from A16. And I thought why not just make a scenario, explorer coming back to the base as the blood moon strikes, fighting off the hordes of the undead. So I just started recording and playing it out, and it just evolved on its own without much forethought after that. Took the material and did some video editing, threw in some effects here and there, and then took some finishing shots in god mode to round it off. And thought hey, that's not half bad for an hour of editing. Ok, maybe it was two, I'm slow.

And I realized I've seen now and then great people tell their stories of first day, last day, or whatever day in the world of 7 Days to Die, and thought why don't we have more people who actually make videos off this? While the game doesn't really so far give us too much to work with, maybe a reasonable story could be played out. By better people than myself hopefully!
So as a sort of homage to Alpha 15, this is my small attempt! If anyone else have made something like that, would be cool to see!

How could this be made better, easier, within the game, without having to mod it?

Well... the acting is a bit off, so no future as a movie actor for you lol

I don't think most "normal" players will ever have the editing skills (+ time) most of you guys have.
However I think it would be nice to watch a few short story clips like this from 7DTD players. :-]

Indeed. And didn't want to replay it several times to get good takes, no that didn't help :D So who would play you in 7DTD? ;)

But it struck me as a nice concept, so was hoping to find others who have done (a better job ;)

Great video Vedui. I wondered where that was going and really enjoyed it. Short and to the point and a little uncomfortable when you realize what has happened and what the inevitable outcome is going to be.

Thanks! I was wondering myself where it was going to be honest. I had some rough ideas, but was struggling with trying to figure out how to get things to fit in one go, as I wasn't expecting the horde to actually start swarming me at the base so far from the starting point. So when I suddenly got attacked inside, I threw out the whole plan and just went with it, got the leg broken, so I couldn't even do a proper run-off into the distance and survive thing :P

But it was fun to do... even tried to put in some radiated green-glowing cops in one of the scenes, wonder if anyone noticed ;)
