Okay..i've been a busy bunny..and fun this..being an introductory to the work I do, I've created what could be used as a front end for this DVD-zine project..if resurrected by the members here, so I hope I've given you a shot in the arm to get off your butts and get serious about this again, I think some of the idea for this project are great, but some are a little ambitious and in reality even 20th Fox couldn't pull it off, even on blueray

so what you are about to see, is an idea for the project and hopefully some direction, I've when for the ambient low-key style,as I'm sick of seeing flash this, and flash that, the Amiga was and is a claim machine, so no need for silly colour rolls

I've uploaded the video to you-tube for all to see, and if you have time, please check out my channel, it has some nice stuff up there, and yes..I do love Atari too, so please don't flame for it...enjoy this W.I.P. and all feedback is welcome

take care.

@Greyfox

OMG!!!! AWESOME just doens't cover it!!!!

although I am a little pressed with fixing hardware lately, i do get lul moments - i.e. when its too hot in my office, so if there is ANYWAY i can help, please let me know =)

Greyfox · 13 August 2010, 11:55

thanx for your feedback ZetrO, I have all animations here at pal 4:3 standard for DVD authoring if everyone is happy with what I'v created so far, but I would need to create Background animations for the sections of the DVD-zine sub menu, Magazine reviews, Demo scene section, Coders Area or what section would be present.

regarding my idea for the DVD-zine, if users here when reviewing a game or whatever, have them as static Images on the DVD with the option to goto the next page etc. and also include game-play video maybe boxed in on the last page of the review, I could create a plate graphic with place holders for screen shots and an area for there text insertion, sorta like the Euro-chart disc-zine, I feel that would be more in tune with us Amigians

I'll make a mock-up for a game review and post it here. it will give the Idea for a dvd-zine review, I can't see this project being too difficult to make, the long part is writing the reviews, spell-checking etc..so you'll all need a review editor to carry out this task.

here is my envision of a DVD video Game review would look like, as stated in the previous post, actual video game play would appear at the last page of the game review..so please let me know some feedback on this..so I'm heading in the right direction cheers

Tx m8, have you watched the YouTube vid above? All this was relatively put together quite fast, so skinning the DVD wouldn't take to long or hard to produce, so maybe start collecting articles or pieces of info, so I can make a proper layout for each section that will be on the end DVD, I can be contacted on MSN if you discuss this project further

All the best

Grey.

p.s. somebody wake Bipps up

Graham Humphrey · 14 August 2010, 09:05

(Sorry, forgot to reply to this...)

Yes, I watched your vid as well - I think that would suit the DVD extremely well. Be interesting if Bippy takes notice

BippyM · 14 August 2010, 10:16

Bippy has been taking notice.. LOTS of notice

Extremely nice work Greyfox, i'm impressed

More later guys........

This looks great, but have you actually tried it at a standard dvd resolution.. Believe me you wont get all that on one screen

Greyfox · 15 August 2010, 00:06

This is at DVD resolution , but not in the previews here they are set at pal 4:3 standard, I created these before for use on DVD galleries I created for cilents etc, allnthe gfx are well within the safe frame I'll post the originals in bit, and thanx for the feedback

All the best

Grey

Greyfox · 16 August 2010, 13:01

just a quick note..is this project going ahead, I've had no real feedback on it's status, or being contacted yet..regarding what is needed or to be done?, so if someone on the project could let me know..what has been done etc..

cheers

Grey.

BippyM · 17 August 2010, 00:59

This project hit a stalemate long ago. There are too many reasons to explain. I would love to have the time to work on this, but unfortunately I don't.

If there is enough interest, and enough members to make it viable, then I'd love to attempt to make a good go of it..

Who is in?

Zetr0 · 17 August 2010, 02:56

@bipps

I can give you a couple of hours dedicated a week, what do you need?

Greyfox · 17 August 2010, 12:23

well..I'm game!...I think what is needed is the articles listings first..as I can create gfx around those, a final low down of what actually going to be listed on the DVD, so I can create background plates for them, will the DVD be dual-layered, single layered etc...and who's going to take up the DVD authoring aspect, allot work in that alone.

also what time is required for animated backgrounds with music? will there be easter eggs? etc.. as worked in DVD creation, I know what's involved and if members are committed and have articles etc..I can do all the artwork in a very short space of time, resulting really in the DVD authoring , uploading etc...taking the most time..I would to have this before xmas 2010, and I Know it can be done..
