My Trailer
Hello, after two months of work I present you a trailer for the world of Magik. 
More info about this world can be found in my entry for the Forum RPG Contest (16th post)  WARNING! It's a very long post so only those interested or that have nothing better to do should read it
I used the NWN engine and toolset to render the scenes (and recording them with Fraps) and a longer version of Lux Aeterna which I mixed myself for the soundtrack.
WARNING to Lex: it has 2 small fight scenes with giant spiders
Here is the link to the YouTube video (it is in a somewhat poor quality though)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8ygzHcWBZ4
And if there are some people with high speed internet connections that are really interested in this movie and liked it a lot then you can download the original .wmv file (a lot higher quality, obviously) from my mediafire account.
Here is the link (it's around 65 MB)
It's around six minutes long but I hope you'll find some time to view it.
Enjoy and please provide some feedback if you do watch it.

Damn YouTube lowered the quality a lot, I didn't expect that. And the sounds are shifted a little as well (and not perfectly synchronized) Why is there no option to view my video in YouTube's high quality?
The .wmv version sounds and looks much better.

Awesome. I think if you did this when Nwn was released Bioware would have paid you a lot for making a gameplay-showing trailer (not cinematic) 
Now to criticize a bit (so you might avoid it your next project): 1) You could have made it shorter and more interesting (i.e not just "adventuring" or whatever, somehow I never liked that part in Nwn).
2) the music simply put, it's overused. Probably it's why you made it so long cause you had to fit the music, right? 
EDIT: Really, next time you should use xVid for the video. Not sure if .wma is that good either (VBR mp3 is good).

Yes because of the music it is 'long'.
Also I agree it's not the coolest music around, and I really would have tried something else but it was already started and made specifically for this soundtrack, if you know what I mean.

I also agree with death, you should make gameplay trailers, since the gameplay looked ten times more exciing than it actually is
On the other hand, it's extremely well done!
One question though: THAT was 12 gig?

I approve
But the first 3 second made me mute the video (looking now on comments I'm not alone ) and launch this theme. I post it as a shy suggestion, but that's only my taste.
It takes some effort and dedication to complete a 6 min trailer

Omg awesome.
Now I need to learn to use windows movie maker and create my own movie trailer (based on my book, Sceracion, War of the North: The Northlands or Sceracion, Cycle of Time: New Dawn).
I would use cinematic clips from games and movies.

@veco: the music was alright but it's overused in trailers and a bit long (i.e gets 'slow' to the point)... didn't make me mute it at all though -- it's just that it wasn't the most exceptional one chosen for the job. Doesn't mean it's bad.
TO ALL THOSE WHO THINK THEY HEARD THIS BEFORE: I don't blame you. This song is so overused especially in trailers that it's unlikely you didn't hear it before. But it's a good song but just slow

Thanks everyone Quote:

Uncompressed, yes
And the reason you heard it before is that:
1) it has been posted somewhere on HC before
2) I *think* it has been used in a LotR Trailer.

btw, I've just seen that now it has been given a 'high quality' option, I can't understand YouTube probably needed some processing.

@Death: I'm not saying it's bad. In fact I liked it very much when I first heared it, but almost EVERY game has a trailer with it, there are also some cool animations out there but again with this music. It became unbearably repetitive to me

Rather liked it I was thinking to post about the music myself, heard requiem of a dream one too many times. Like the scenery and action sequences, brings back good memories and man I loved that game  Looks like there has been a lot of custom content that I missed - or patches. Could indeed do with a little shortening, also the way the camera turns makes you feel dizzy. Doesn't feel natural.

* takes notes *
ok music sucked, and made the movie too long.
And I kinda agree about the camera movements, it is so hard to make that with the NWN engine
Now something else: if there's anybody here who read my entry for that contest and remembers a few things then I'll just tell you two major characters who appear in this trailer:
The powerful mage you see at 5:08 (and there are some fights with him afterward) is Salam.
And the Lich at the end is Nammuk.

I liked the parts twisting and turning through tight spaces. It reminded me of Daggerfall for some reason.
I laughed at the part where Moonblood knocks three monsters with a couple of jumping spin kicks. Badass!
Good job

Oh yeah I also liked the part with the Adamantium Golem -- kinda scary, I wish he would actually fail the spell and get killed
