Falcon BMS 4.34 Trailer Competition
-
Ladies and Gentlemen,
on behalf of the entire BMS development team, I would like to thank you for all your kind feedback to the 4.34 teaser and our final release. This means a lot to us and makes us happy!
We really like to give you something back. Since we did only create a teaser this time, we would like to ask you to make a nice BMS 4.34 video that we will put on our website as the OFFICIAL trailer! The BMS Development Team will vote for a winner from the (hopefully) many submissions and we already know that it will be a VERY difficult task.
Even if you’ve never made a Falcon 4.0 video before (like me), we want to encourage you to get started. Even if you won’t win, we will support you to make your work known in the community.
Okay, here are the terms and conditions:
- VIDEO LENGTH: 5-8 min.
- LOGO: please use the official BMS logo which you can download here
- NEUTRAL: means, no virtual squadron content
- AUDIO/VIDEO: please use nothing that gets us into license issues
- PUBLICATION: we need your video as a download to publish it on our youtube channel
- LANGUAGE: english
- DEADLINE: 23rd of June 2019
… left.
Members of the BMS Dev Team are excluded from participation.
We are looking forward to your submissions.
Cheers,

Ooh, I’ve just gotten ahold of Adobe Premiere Pro 2018, thanks to work I might have a go at this
Just to clarify, what aspect ratio, FPS would you require? I fly 21:9 so would you want the video cropped to 16:9, or would you allow a 21:9 video? Most movies are 21:9 or thereabouts. Effects; would you want people adding after effects or keep it all ‘raw’, or vanilla?

Online Countdown added (see first post)
-
wow i would do it but you after text on screen regarding game features as well?

Hey MGMSUB,
We’re open minded, so please feel free what ever you like to come up with.
No requirements regarding feature descriptions, your trailer video can be a totally different approach.
Although I know that there are some judges who like it.
Cheers,

cool idea

NickThe idea is great but I have problems.
-
VIDEO LENGTH:Why is 5 min the minimum length…? The original F4.0 intro is far more shorter. OK, this will be some kind of trailer but 5 min is very long.
-
LOGO: Does it mean you can alter the logo? For ex. applying skin on it?
-
AUDIO/VIDEO: This is a very vague area to me. If I use something from here and I pay the license is it good or not? Or what about the musics which are free to avail personal use. How does this trailer count…? The problem is even harder with 5-8 min. length because very likely you need more than one music. Using any popular music seems to me impossible. —> This is a very hard restriction. Not mentioning if you wish to use RL combat radio chat in some cases? Who holds the right of these…?
-
DEADLINE: 31st of May 2019 This is way to close to make anything especially as long as 5 min is the minimal length. You need lots of raw material for such long video + a music license issue. First you have to find a music what can be used and not what you instantly like…
There is only four weekends until end of May. I do not know other people’s schedule but I won’t be at home from two of these weekends. Weekdays are short for a creative work. The release of BMS4.34 just happened. I did not even had time to configure BMS4.34 and learn and find again the keys for free camera or setting n+1 different Top Gun camera view. IMHO at least two months or even more span would be far better if you wish to see more participants.

Music license is not as complex as you think. Essentially, if it is copyrighted you can still use, except that you cannot monetise it yourself. In other words, if you use it, chances are adverts will appear at some point (usually at the start) and ad revenue will go to the owners of the music. If you want to make ad revenue yourself, or let BMS’ channel make ad revenue, then you have to buy a license, which can be anything from a few to many thousands of ££.
Now there are a few exceptions to the rule depending on what the artists/owners have stipulated; if you use something that isn’t allowed, you’ll find it banned in some or all countries, removal of audio, a strike against your channel, or all of the above. Your best bet is to go here and search for the track you have in mind: https://www.youtube.com/music_policies?ar=2&o=U
There are a few sites that let you download music for $1 or so per track, but they will cost you $40 or more if you want to license it for commercial use.
Regarding length, I also agree that 5-8 mins is too long. Finding good audio tracks that fit within this time is tricky and using more than one piece spoils the atmosphere I’m aiming for. Guys, could be drop it to say 3.5-8 mins?Regarding Logo, I have downloaded the BMS png logo with the transparency, and have added it with a reduced opacity and converted it to grey scale. I hope this is allowed
I don’t know about extending the deadline though; 31st of May is a month after release… any later and it sort of renders a release trailer kind of, well, pointless.

Hi molnibalage,
5 minutes is not minimum. You can do much shorter if you want. We thought that up to 5 or max 8 min will be OK, but you are free to do as you like.
The logo should not be changed. -
Question. What about 3rd-party theaters and mods? Should the video contain only stock models in the default KTO theater or can demonstrate any scenario in community theaters and addon mods like new JanHas Vipers?

I’d argue that it should remain 100% stock, as it’s the trailer for the 4.34 release. A celebratory video of BMS in general would be awesome with JanHas and other theatres etc, but the BMS trailer should be stock IMO.

Like Mav-JP said, you are free to choose whatever you want. We thought it would make sense to have a “trailer” that is a bit longer than the “teaser”, but also not a 3 hours “movie”.
LOGO: Does it mean you can alter the logo? For ex. applying skin on it?

We think “Planehazza” already made a good answer to this. :thumb:

Again good answer by “Planehazza” … any later and it sort of renders a release trailer kind of, well, pointless.
Sorry man, we still hope you are able to make a shorter, but much more spectacular movie in time. :typing:Question. What about 3rd-party theaters and mods? Should the video contain only stock models in the default KTO theater or can demonstrate any scenario in community theaters and addon mods like new JanHas Vipers?
Yes, should only be stock footage of the default KTO theaters.
For example If I wish to participate with this.
It is too short and the original music is the original F4 into.
How does this video fits into the competition?Because can imagine other type of trailer video but hardly anything which has respect towards to the great F4.0 ancestor and both BMS4.
This fits very well in the competition!
My another plan/conception was make similar video this. For this I would need older video parts and screenshots which I get from other people? What are the rules in this case? Is it allowed to make a video this way?
Nice video! If you use video parts or screenshots from other people, you should of course have their approval.
We hope the answers help.
Thanks guys for your great interest!

I’ve been working on one, but the more I rewatch the WIP, the less it feels like a trailer so I’m not sure I’ll submit mine after all.

Too bad I didn’t see this post earlier, I would really enjoy to make a video for the 4.34, I made one for 4.33 just few month ago, here is my work if you want to see. The deadline for 31st of May will be too short for a new video (I need 2 weeks I think…), not possible to change it for few days ?
Here is my video for 4.33 :

I vote give everyone more time and post this in the general section as I think alot of people may not even know about it or have seen this I wonder.

Yes, it was my first video, and I didn’t notice that, but I have been told since, so next video will be without any text !
Thanks
