Black Lance Approves Of Music Videos (April 7, 2005)

[Cpl Hades]

AD's project to create a movie based on footage from the WCIV DVD is progressing nicely, so he has taken a break to join in with the theme of the week: music videos! The music in this video is "New World" performed by Leroy, and like yesterday's video this is also based around WCIV DVD footage. Here's AD with more details:

I thought I would try my hand at a music video. The principles aren't a lot different from what I am doing with my WC4 movie project, so I gave it a shot. Plus this gives me something to share while we wait for my movie project. By the way, I'm over halfway done the gameplay videos, although I would like to try something more complex for the final fights.

This music video as well uses the WC4 DVD as source and could sort of be described as Black Lance propaganda, but that isn't an accurate description. Its a 3 1/4 minute video and I have provided it in high res divx (50MB) or a lower res Windows Media file (7.9MB).

If for some reason the above links don't work for you, the files are also available on our ftp by replacing "http://download" in the above links with "ftp://ftp".

Very impressive, my only complaint is that that song is too damn catchy, i've had it stuck in my head all day.

Thanks (Swift too)!

Now imagine spending most of two evenings listening to it over and over while making the vid... Will I ever get it out of my head?!!

I don't have to imagine... I've watched it god knows how many times already... its strangely addictive. Your choice of scenes is superb.

I forgot the variety of emotion WCIV provided, its amazing that, even when the majority of hollywood movies sport very wooden acting, on a fraction of the budget WCIV was born.

These music videos are great, I hope we see many more. It would also be great to see a fan made trailer that really defines WCIV

I really like it. Every time I watch it, it gets better.

Someday, when I find an appropriate song, I will try my hand at a character driven Wing Commander music video myself. It's time I did a WC3 one. The problem is, there is no camera movement there.
