Beketov

Claim 4

Way to care if I was alright there Jardy Definitely wasn't as close as Tyler but it was kinda crazy all day. I had to come into work at one point in the afternoon (since they apparently just HAD to get drives to shoot on last night) and it was like a jacking ghost town. I'm just glad they caught the guy without any further incident.

Was originally just going to do the intro animation but then I decided that a 7 second animation didn’t seem like enough effort. Also, for the sake of honesty, I followed a tutorial for part of that. So, I decided to follow Kendrick’s idea and piece together a whole trailer. Sure I don’t have a credits list but hey. Computer trouble made this take awhile so I think I turned out quite well all things considered. Here’s hoping the audio doesn’t get flagged; I really should get to buying those packs. Please try to grade quickly so that I can avoid the issue haha.

Wasn't the last PC version of the NHL games in like 08? Not only would we have the issue stated above with using an NHL game but we'd have shit graphics on top of that.

If the NHL felt the need to pursue it they could have the content taken down because they do own the rights. Gaming falls slightly different because the user is partly shaping the content. Fact is they won't because it's not worth the legal battle if someone contests it. For example though, if we monetized the content get could legally take it down because we would technically be making money on it.

It would also be basically pointless. A slides show would basically just be some stills (of what on top of that) with VoiceOver. That would be kinda lame if you ask me. We have an interesting concept here that would work well on "film" if we have the footage. @Victor Interviews are key, usually it only cuts away to prove a point or hide a cut (a lot more often than you'd think). If we had enough people with decent footage though, combined with enough people getting recordings, we could have something though. Would just need B-Roll and for people to have decent audio quality.

I think it would be more interesting to go without NHL material. B-Roll stuff could be tricky but it would give the VHL more of an identity. I feel like if we used NHL stuff it would just make this feel like a sports fantasy league or something which it isn't. My current vision, as explained in the other topic, is a mini-doc series of like 4 episodes. Interviewing members, founders, etc. I just can't quite figure out the logistics of it all. I know I have a high end HD camera, tripod, lighting, mic, etc but I know most people don't so getting matching quality isn't exactly easy. Doing shorts branded under the VHL would be fun too. Again though, with so few members ACTUALLY knowing each other the challenges are apparent.

You'd be amazed. As for the logos and general style, I wasn't going to say anything for risk of hurting Kendrick's grade but I'm 99% sure that stuff is all from the trailers presets inside iMovie. Kendrick can correct me if I'm wrong. Either way, we wouldn't want copyright stuff in general. You're getting into messy territory when you start dealing with rights.

That was a mock trailer, I'm talking making something ourselves, likely a doc as I discussed in that topic. Using NHL footage is obviously out of the question. I know how much the rights for that stuff costs. This isn't to discuss creating a film from NHL footage though, it's creating a brand of our own.

Kendrick's topic got closed, being a PT and all, so I wanted to start a discussion topic for the possibility of a VHL films project in order to continue the discussions that we started. Feel free to check out the original topic (link below) and add to the discussion. http://www.vhlforum.com/index.php?/topic/8543-vhl-movie-trailer/#entry78971

Keep in mind that Seattle can't have two teams

What exactly are they doing? I haven't heard anything.

I've even got a green screen and access to keying software haha. Unfortunately I'm quite miserable on camera. Would be up for cutting that kinda thing though. The problem becomes the logistics. To get footage for stuff like that would involve people sending video files to other members. None of these would match quality wise (being from different cameras) and moving that much footage is challenging at best. I do like the idea though if we can get the ball rolling. Like I said, a short doc (5-10 minute kinda thing) could actually be rather interesting. A series of them even. 4 episodes or so. 1 explaining the history of sim leagues, 1 explaining the history of the VHL, 1 talking to members and getting the general opinion on things, and the last one looking forward. Could be rather interesting and pretty easy to cut.

If we were serious about making higher quality VHL videos we could possible get donation funding for a pro account. Would require a lot of content though. P.S I enjoy how I did casting but a director / writer did editing you've clearly never seen how massively confused most directors are with editing programs haha

I always forget that, probably since I've never hit it haha

I'd be totally up for helping you do a short film for the VHL. Problem is we'd need people to actually film things which makes it hard. Trailers are one thing, you can rip NHL videos for that, but an actual VHL short film is different. Would be cool to make like a short doc with interviews and stuff though. Oh, also, if you wanna get rid of the 500mb limit you need to upgrade to a higher account. The mid level one gives you (I think) 2gb and the high end one gives you unlimited as long as you don't go over 20gb a week. I regularly upload 6-7gb files to the studio vimeo account.

Dat S39 draft. You're gonna have what, 100 TPE Carry-Over?

Wow, was not expecting to see this so quick. Thanks for giving me a shot Draper. I know I was kinda holding Oslo up (and hell my stats might drop a tad) but you understood that I'll likely only get 1 VHLM season and you wanted to give me a shot durning it. I can respect that.

Whatever happens if this class is as strong as it looks, Helsinki picked a good year to mass 1st rounders.

Really can't play the entire game by myself guys...

VHLM wise he was mediocre. Besides, wound up with a scoring title and a cup so I’ll take it.

We'll see. Come talk to me when you have an award named after you. Miller is the strongest player I've had since Beketov and we all know how it went then.

You're clearly better, those 30 points I have over you obviously mean nothing

150 TPE; aiming for 200 by draft time hopefully. Now if only someone else on my team would update, that would be nice.
