Idea to make a video for the Kickstarter social media goal...but needs help

On the kickstarter page it says :

 

"To reward you for sharing the campaign, we’ve got Social Goals lined up. We’ll post regular updates about progress toward the goals, which will unlock fun rewards for you! [...] YouTube: 0 / 25 Make a video using SotM music and send us the link to be counted! We’ll post videos in a playlist on our YouTube account, and highlight some here in updates."

 

Now I don't have video making talents. But I have an idea, and need some help executing it. I was thinking of doing a quick and dirty animation using my sprites to reflect upcoming battles in the season 2 game with some music. Have a Dark Watch team, the Freedom Five, etc...

I have the music from the soundtracks (except the wrath of the cosmos). 

Whatever we do I know I will need to make more action based sprites.

Anyone willing to join me on this endeavour?

 

That sounds awesome!  Unfortunately, I, too, am not a video person.

You could print out the sprites and move them around on paper =)

So put them on popscicle sticks eh?
Hmmm…

There are also art programs that can do slide-shows.  You could write the whole thing out that way and play it back with a video recording program (or as an animated gif) or even record it on an iphone or android or something with the music playing.

I can do video editing, but I've no experience with animations; I'm happy to donate some time if that would help :)

I’m not doing anything super crazy. Still takes me time to create the sprites.
Honestly, since doing heavy animation will be too difficult and time consuming, what I had in idea was to simply do just screens. Like pre battle, action poses and maybe some victory screens.

If I spend my Saturday making the sprites, and I get the backgrounds, something could come to fruition.

Doesn’t need to be that long, I don’t think. Think this vague idea is doable?

MigrantP listed this site as a way to help https://animoto.com as he made this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OuJbRXxRVY

Thanks!

 

If Animoto doesn't have you covered, that's absolutely doable :) PM me if you need me?

I would also suggest taking a look at iMovie if you have access to a Mac, iPhone, or iPad. It has a way to make really cool little trailer length videos.

Alternative, is Windows Movie Maker still a thing? My windows knowledge is pretty much from the 90's, so..

I definitely will!

 

 

I think it is! I'll check that out too. 

 

 

Also, thanks for the encouragement, and help!

 

That sounds pretty adorable, actually.

 

I might need to do this now… Great…

So… Bomber Blade was the cause for the ticking?

No.  No!  Never! Not even close.  Yes.

Just a quick update, i have worked on something this weekend, and i will try and continue tonight. 

It might be really cheap looking, somewhat lazy, but it would at leats be some kind of fun. If people would like updates I can post some thing here, if they wish.

I put a pretty simple slideshow together that counted so don't think the videos have to be anything too complicated http://youtu.be/TmUZrfh65Uc

Then I’ll upload my version 1. A Fellow forumite is making it even better. You’ll see it soon!
