Video: http://www.vimeo.com/20901360
Well, I guess its about that time of year again... when I drop into these forums... write a post or two... then vanish again. So this time, I made a little video showing some of the q3 maps that I made, back in the day. I had a lot of fun making this video, and it brought back a lot of good memories from that amazing, creative period when all I (we) did was map day and night. Those were some awesome times, for sure.
I made this video mostly for the sake of just making something awesome, but also for my portfolio, in the hopes of getting a production internship in the industry. Why would I want a production job and not a level design job? -Well, as much as I love level design, I've never wanted to do it professionally. I much prefer it as a hobby. I am much better suited to a production/management role.
On a completely different note.... I really enjoyed making this video. So much so that would consider making another to showcase the work of a fellow mapper(s), if the conditions were right. -Let me know if anyone is interested.
Thanks a million, guys, for the memories, good times and amazing worlds that we all helped create... together.

Re: made a video
I recognize one or two of those... mostly the first one. I don't remember where I've gotten most of my favorite maps, so, when I lost most of my Q3A stuff, (in a computer meltdown last year) I've had to pick em up randomly. Do you have any of these available for DL? If so... where plz?

Re: made a video
Video is sweet but will most likely be deleted soon because vimeo doesn't allow gaming-related videos. They also deleted my Quake2World videos even though I explained in the comments that this is a free indie game project I'm working on, not just a video of someone playing a random map of some game and uploading it to the internet because he's bored or something.

Hmm. Event Horizon videos work on vimeo. linkspirit_ wrote:Video is sweet but will most likely be deleted soon because vimeo doesn't allow gaming-related videos.

Re: made a video
I can only tell what happened to me. They deleted all q2w level design videos without warning and with the message "No gaming videos allowed" and linked the page I linked in my last post. Maybe you're lucky and they don't spot yours or they have decided to handle their policy less strict since that happened.

Re: made a video
Or maybe the video was posted before that policy was adopted. EH 3 was posted 3 years ago.

Re: made a video
Who uses vimeo anyway? Get it on YouTube 
Re: made a video
I know it was just a just-for-fun production, but you could've made a better job by just using q3mme (like DaEngineer did). His map presentations are great. Despite this, I really like the shots of the maps. They all look very well done.
For a really good presentation of own work watch this movie:
Rusher Production
Everything's selfmade by Rusher, Music, Maps, Video, 3d. Great vid.

Re: made a video
i much more enjoyed the presentation when you were moving/flying through the levels. it brought a atmosphere and a completeness to the levels that wasn't nearly so apparent as the still shots. the still shots were cool, but they kind went on for a long time.
if you are looking for production/management roles, and want to use this as part of a portfolio, then i would suggest seeing what happens if you present each map in order instead of switching it up and jumping around. you could, for example, start with stills of a map, and then fly around it, and then show the next map. adding some after effects and titles and such could go a long way to upping the feeling of having made something complete.
it's late... i hope that makes sense...
