OMG That's awesome!!!!!!!!!!
You must give me the producer's contact!
Could you email m it please at rider@merlordstudios.com

You already watched the movie??? What did you think?

The e-mail address of the Producer of this movie is: baron_lopi@yahoo.com

Wow! That's awesome.

It's pretty cool however, i doubt that it got much points on meeting the system requirements :s. Some parts looked like a slideshow.

I think it's the best there is, it's really really really good

I believe using "hollywood" to describe it is pretty accurate.

I cant get it to work. What do i have to do?
I load it like starting a scenario but when it gets to when the 4 guys are standing it just stays ther i am not sure if they have to say something or i have to read it but when i read it it stays like 40 sec and nothing happenes.

To mojo: I had the same problem until I realized that the play dialogue trigger didn't fire if the sound files hasn't been correctly installed.

In other words, to correct this, you must create a folder in the aom sound folder, name it Lopi, and then move all the given sound files into that folder.

Notes to the author, Baron Lopi: you shouldn't activate triggers using the effect Play dialogue, because if the sound file isn't there, the trigger will not fire. The safest way is to activate trigger using the Fire Event effect.

By the way, congratulations on winning the cinematic contest ! The cinematics was very well done, and I really enjoyed watching it. It was really worth the download!

Grr...

Thank Alexandergreat3

Actually, you don't have to "create" any folders. Simply extract the contents of the ZIP file to your AOM Directory. You should then see a folder labelled "Lopi's Battle of Marathon." The Readme.txt file is in there. Follow the simple directions in the Readme file and you're ready to watch!

7MB's, many of those are sounds, right?

yeah without sounds it won't be as good

Sounds are very important in a cinematic, as long as they're done well. And here, they're done well.

I'm really happy that you liked my cinematic

It was great, the ending was so funny too!

WOW!

wow, that was really good. it was a little laggy at times, cuz of the pitch, but other than that, awesome. the speaking parts sounded funny.(no offence)

Very well made, the camera angles are perfect. My computer is only just fast enough to run it though. It is smooth most times but you occasionally get some jerkyness. The soundtrack is amazingly coherent with the cinematic, especially in the Hoplite's (representing Phedipedes [I think that's how you spell it], no doubt)trimphal march to Athens.
But the story of the battle says Phedipedes runs all the way to the Athens, and dies with the words 'We are victorious!' on his lips. Still good.

to redwolfalex: what speaking parts are sounding funny? i need to know what to change

to peredhill: if you want i can change it. i didn't knew what Phedipedes said, so i choose "we won"

The movie is excellent! The voice acting just needs a little more emotion in it though.

Darius I: "What the...???"

Haha, classic!

Then...

Persian Soldier: "Oh my God! Catapults!"

Priceless.

Great job.

I think maybe he's talking about the accents? In that case, it sounds perfect to me, as neither the Greeks, nor Persians would have good ole boy American accents like the one I have.

There is only one problem with voices, the Advisor is REALLY quiet while speaking one of his lines, not to worry though, you could turn up this particular sound.

By the way, how about somthing like Theseus and the Minotaur or another well know myth for another contest?

I thought it was great. I found several parts where I just smiled or laughed, because I was happy that someone had just made this... and it was great!

Did you make all the voices yourself?

I particularly liked the "Ajax" (Great King was it?) voice, the "actor" or "voice person" did a great job.

I have some sound files that may help you. (about two)

Cuz,... well.. the ONE part I had a prob. w/ was when "Arkantos" says "CHARGE!"... It was really weak.. sorry, but Im trying to help so you can fix it. Put some balls into it!

But overall great, I liked your camara angles and movement.. truly cinematic.

I wonder how long it would take to make a two-hour movie using the AOM editor... Seriously. How big with the file be?

More importantly, would anyone be interested in trying?

I am skilled in movie script writing (a half-completed sample of my work here: http://www.mythosclan.net/Miscellaneous/startrekunification.html) and would be more than willing to participate.
